Meet Marissa and Dale Quarton

Meet the QUARTONS

One of the families here in OPA who fill my heart with Inspiration are Dale and Marissa and The entire Quarton Family!  Dale and Marissa are both Orange County natives! Dale was raised in Orange Park Acres and Marissa is from Lake Forest. Together, they own and operate Saddleback Pavers, Inc., based in Orange, CA. They were motivated to create a company that values customers & employees. Saddleback Pavers combines Dale’s extensive design and construction background with Marissa’s marketing and customer service expertise, delivering high-quality work with fair pricing and exceptional client care. I have personally seen their work and it is very well done with creative meticulous design.

Dale’s journey into the paver industry began in 2004 as a design consultant for a larger company. His passion for outdoor spaces and sharp eye for design, coupled with his construction know how, make him the ideal contractor for creating dream landscapes. Meanwhile, Marissa’s career path took her through restaurant management, marketing roles, and finally to the home improvement industry, where she discovered her own passion for design.

Dale and Marissa met in 2006 at the District Lounge in the Orange Circle—drawn together by Marissa’s “amazing dance moves.” Go Marissa!! Dale’s a lucky guy! Today, they are proud parents to two children. Their daughter Kaylee, 11, shares her parents’ love for the outdoors and is a blackbelt in Taekwondo. Their son Zachary, 8, brings joy and a unique perspective to their lives, reminding them daily that God’s plans are the best—especially after his surprise Down Syndrome diagnosis at birth.

The Quartons are an active family that enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. Living in Orange Park Acres allows them immediate access to trails, and Dale, who formerly raced mountain bikes, has passed on his love for the sport to Marissa.

Dale and Marissa are grateful for the supportive community they’ve found in Orange Park Acres. It offers the perfect balance of rural charm and suburban convenience, making it an ideal place to raise their family and run their business. Saddleback Pavers continues to grow, driven by the same values that brought Dale and Marissa together— a love for the outdoors, a passion for design, and a commitment to delivering quality and care.
