Orange County

Do you build pools and landscapes in Newport Beach?

Yes. We are based in Newport Beach and design and build custom pools, spas and complete landscapes there, including Newport Coast and Corona del Mar. Our Crystal Cove and Pelican Hill galleries show completed work in Newport Coast. For your property, we review coastal status, access, HOA requirements and any slope or drainage conditions before defining the scope and approval path.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Newport Coast?

Yes. We design and build luxury pools, spas, outdoor living spaces and landscapes in Newport Coast, which is part of Newport Beach. Our Crystal Cove and Pelican Hill galleries include completed Newport Coast projects. The actual lot determines the need for hillside engineering, coastal review, fire-related measures and HOA approval; those are addressed during project planning.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Corona del Mar?

Yes. We build pools, spas, hardscape and complete landscapes in Corona del Mar. Many Corona del Mar lots are compact and close together, so plunge pools, spools, efficient layouts, careful access planning and privacy planting are common. Coastal conditions also shape plant selection and material choices. We bring 50 years of luxury pool and landscape experience to every Corona del Mar project.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Laguna Beach?

Yes. We design and build pools and landscapes in Laguna Beach, one of Orange County's most challenging and rewarding places to build. Laguna Beach projects often involve steep hillside sites, coastal views, limited construction access, geotechnical and structural engineering, fire-hazard and fuel modification requirements, and the city's design review process. These are exactly the kinds of technically demanding projects we specialize in.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Dana Point?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas and complete landscapes in Dana Point, including properties with ocean views, bluff-top and hillside conditions, and gated communities with HOA review. Coastal exposure, wind, salt air and coastal zone requirements influence plant choices, materials and approvals, and we plan for them from the start.

Do you build pools and landscapes in San Clemente?

Yes. We design and build pools and landscapes in San Clemente, from Spanish Colonial and coastal homes near the beach to hillside properties with views. San Clemente's Spanish Village by the Sea character inspires many of our Mediterranean-style designs. Projects may involve coastal review, HOA approval or hillside engineering, which we coordinate as part of our design-build process.

Do you build pools and landscapes in San Juan Capistrano?

Yes. We design and build pools, spas and landscapes in San Juan Capistrano, including larger estate and equestrian-area properties where there is room for complete outdoor living environments with pools, outdoor kitchens, fire features and extensive planting. Larger lots often allow more ambitious designs, and we plan grading, drainage and access to match.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Laguna Niguel?

Yes. We build custom pools and complete landscapes in Laguna Niguel. Many Laguna Niguel homes are in master-planned communities with HOA architectural review, and many sit on sloping lots with views, which can require retaining walls, terracing and engineered pool designs. We coordinate HOA submittals and city permits as part of the process.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Laguna Hills?

Yes. We design and build pools, hardscape and landscapes in Laguna Hills. Laguna Hills properties range from flat suburban lots to hillside view homes, and many have HOA review. We tailor each design to the property's slope, access and community requirements.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Laguna Woods?

Yes. We design and build landscape and outdoor living improvements in Laguna Woods within the work permitted for the property. For Laguna Woods Village, the relevant Mutual’s alteration rules and consent process are important alongside any city permit. We discuss walkways, patios, drainage, planting and other improvements that fit the home and the applicable community standards.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Aliso Viejo?

Yes. We design and build pools, spas and complete landscapes in Aliso Viejo. Many Aliso Viejo homes are in planned communities with HOA architectural guidelines and sloped lots. We coordinate HOA submittals and city permits and design pools and outdoor living spaces that make the most of each yard.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Irvine?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas and landscapes throughout Irvine. Irvine's villages and planned communities typically have detailed HOA architectural guidelines and approval processes, and many newer homes have compact backyards. We design efficient, high-impact outdoor spaces, including plunge pools, spools and outdoor kitchens, and handle the HOA and city approvals.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Costa Mesa?

Yes. We build pools, spas, hardscape and complete landscapes in Costa Mesa, including the Eastside, Mesa Verde and College Park neighborhoods. Many Costa Mesa homes have older pools and landscapes ready for remodeling, and we specialize in transforming them into modern outdoor living spaces.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Huntington Beach?

Yes. We design and build pools and landscapes in Huntington Beach, from Huntington Harbour to inland neighborhoods. Properties near the coast may involve coastal zone review, sandy soils or a shallow water table, which we evaluate during design. Coastal-tolerant plants and corrosion-resistant materials are important considerations for beach-area homes.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Tustin?

Yes. We serve Tustin, Tustin Ranch, Old Town Tustin and nearby North Tustin and Lemon Heights properties. A Tustin mailing address does not necessarily mean the parcel is inside the City of Tustin; unincorporated properties use Orange County review. We confirm jurisdiction, HOA requirements and site conditions before planning your pool or landscape.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Villa Park?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas and estate landscapes in Villa Park. Villa Park's larger residential lots provide space for complete outdoor living environments, including pools with spas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, sport areas and extensive planting. We design the entire property as one cohesive plan.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Yorba Linda?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas and complete landscapes in Yorba Linda, including hillside view properties and large estate lots. Yorba Linda projects often involve slopes, retaining walls, drainage and fire-hazard considerations in hillside areas, along with HOA review in many neighborhoods. We plan for these conditions from the first site visit.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Coto de Caza?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas, estate landscapes and outdoor living spaces in Coto de Caza. Our Coto de Caza Estate Pool, Landscape & Outdoor Living gallery shows a completed project in the community. Coto de Caza is unincorporated Orange County, so county approvals and the applicable association’s architectural and construction rules are reviewed separately. We plan access, drainage, slopes and the complete landscape together.

Los Angeles

Do you build pools and landscapes in Bel-Air?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, pool remodels and complete landscapes in Bel-Air. We consider privacy, views, terrace levels, access and the relationship to the home before choosing the finishes. Bel-Air is within Los Angeles; we confirm the parcel’s planning, building, hillside, tree and fire requirements and any private restrictions for the proposed scope.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Beverly Hills?

Yes. We serve Beverly Hills with custom pool and spa construction, structural pool remodeling and complete landscape projects. We coordinate outdoor living, planting, paving, lighting and drainage around the architecture of the home. City jurisdiction is checked against the actual address, since a Beverly Hills mailing address does not always mean a property is inside the incorporated city.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Beverly Hills Gateway?

Yes. We design and build pools, landscapes and outdoor living spaces in the Beverly Hills Gateway area. Arrival paving, gardens, terraces and pool settings are planned as one property. Gateway is a neighborhood name rather than a separate permitting city, so we establish the correct city jurisdiction and any private design requirements from the parcel before preparing the approval path.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Holmby Hills?

Yes. We serve Holmby Hills with custom pools, pool reshaping and complete estate landscape construction. We discuss which mature trees and garden features to retain and how new terraces, water and outdoor rooms relate to the home. We confirm the Los Angeles parcel requirements, including any protected-tree or historic-resource review that applies to the proposed work.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Beverly Park?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas, gardens and outdoor living spaces for Beverly Park properties. We coordinate estate scale, private community review, construction access, delivery arrangements and the underlying walls and drainage. Applicable Los Angeles planning and building requirements are established from the parcel, not just the mailing address.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Brentwood?

Yes. We serve Brentwood in Los Angeles with pool construction, pool remodeling and complete landscapes. We plan swimming, dining, garden space and privacy together, and evaluate the existing pool and utilities before recommending major changes. Hillside conditions, trees, fire requirements and planning overlays are checked for the actual property.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Pacific Palisades?

Yes. We design and build pools and landscapes in Pacific Palisades, including outdoor scopes coordinated with a home renovation or rebuilding project. Existing pools, walls, utilities and site conditions must be evaluated before they are reused. We coordinate with the home team and applicable Los Angeles, coastal and fire review, without assuming a fixed or expedited approval timeline.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Santa Monica?

Yes. We design and build custom pools, spas and landscapes in Santa Monica. We focus on usable outdoor space, privacy, circulation, material durability and a practical equipment layout. Santa Monica has its own permit process, and we check coastal, drainage, water and historic-resource requirements where they apply to the address and scope.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Manhattan Beach?

Yes. We serve Manhattan Beach with custom pools, pool remodeling and landscape construction. On compact lots, we compare the water area with the room needed for seating, circulation, equipment and construction access. We coordinate the applicable city approvals and review coastal status, runoff and any work affecting the public right of way.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Hidden Hills?

Yes. We design and build pools, spas, estate landscapes and outdoor living spaces in Hidden Hills. The plan considers the whole property, including privacy, access and any existing equestrian or recreation areas. Hidden Hills is an incorporated city; its permit process and the applicable private community review both need to be addressed, along with current fire and construction requirements.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Hancock Park?

Yes. We serve Hancock Park with custom pools, pool remodeling and complete landscape projects. We pay attention to the home’s architecture, established planting, garden proportions and the relationship between the front entry and backyard. We verify whether the parcel is within the Hancock Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone and coordinate any applicable Los Angeles preservation and building review.

Do you build pools and landscapes in Los Feliz?

Yes. We design and build pools, spas and complete landscapes in Los Feliz. The home’s architecture, existing garden, slopes and available access shape the plan. We confirm the Los Angeles parcel requirements, including any hillside, fire, protected-tree or historic-resource considerations, before finalizing the construction scope.

La Quinta

Do you build pools and landscapes in La Quinta?

Yes. We design and build luxury pools, spas, pool remodels and complete landscapes in La Quinta. Our La Quinta Estate Pool & Outdoor Living gallery shows a completed project there. Shade, reflected heat, paving comfort, desert planting, irrigation and the way you use the property guide the design. We coordinate the applicable City of La Quinta and private community requirements for the site.
