Landscape Design & Hardscape in Los Angeles, CA

Local Swimming Pool Contractor Expertise

How We Work

A clear process from planning to completion—designed to minimize surprises and keep you informed at every stage.

Our Planning & Design Phase

We start by visiting your home to measure your yard, assess drainage patterns, and understand your vision. Topography and lot orientation matter—especially in hilly Brentwood or compact Bel Air properties where every square foot counts.

Our designers create a digital 3D rendering so you can see your future pool before we break ground. You'll approve materials, finishes, and any custom features.

Permits & Approvals

We handle all LA Department of Building and Safety paperwork. High-voltage power lines above ground? Slopes requiring grading permits? We navigate these rules so you don't have to.

Site Prep & Excavation

Once permits clear, we grade the site and excavate to spec. We monitor drainage and soil stability—crucial in hillside neighborhoods where erosion control prevents costly damage later.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We handle the full spectrum of pool and landscape work—from new builds to complete renovations.

Custom Pool Construction

We build new inground pools from the ground up—gunite or fiberglass. Whether you want a geometric modern design or a resort-style resort with waterfall features, we customize every detail to your space and style. Beach entries, lap lanes, and infinity edges are all possible in Pacific Palisades or Encino properties.

Pool Renovation & Repair

Older pools lose efficiency and appeal. We resurface, retile, and upgrade circulation systems with energy-efficient equipment. UV-resistant finishes stay cooler underfoot in LA's intense summer heat—a practical upgrade for households in Hollywood or Encino.

Spa & Hot Tub Installation

Spas pair beautifully with pools and work as standalone features. We integrate jets, heating systems, and controls into your landscape. Handy for relaxation and recovery after those warm LA summer days.

Pool Deck & Landscape Design

A pool without landscape context feels incomplete. We design hardscapes, install pavers, add shade structures, and integrate plantings that thrive in LA's climate. Decks get slip-resistant finishes and proper drainage—essential in San Fernando Valley neighborhoods with variable runoff.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Los Angeles pool projects aren't one-size-fits-all. Here's what sets local contractors apart.

Understanding LA's Building Codes & Permits

The LA Department of Building and Safety has specific rules for pools near high-voltage lines, setback requirements, and grading standards. Contractors who've navigated hundreds of LA permits know these rules inside out and can guide you through faster approvals.

Climate & Material Selection

LA's year-round sun and occasional heavy rain mean materials must withstand UV exposure without fading and drainage must prevent erosion. We recommend finishes and equipment designed for Southern California conditions.

Challenging Terrain

Hillside properties in the Hollywood Hills, Encino, or Brentwood require specialized grading and retaining walls. We've engineered pools on steep slopes where others see obstacles.

What Sets Us Apart

How Long Does a Pool Project Take?

Timeline depends on scope. A basic inground pool typically takes 8 weeks to 3 months from breaking ground to completion. Projects with additional features—outdoor kitchens, firepits, full landscape design—extend to 4-6 months or longer.

Permit review time (1-3 weeks) is separate and varies by neighborhood. We provide detailed schedules upfront and keep you informed if anything changes.
