Beverly Hills Gateway, California

Pool & landscape builder in Beverly Hills Gateway.

For a Beverly Hills Gateway property, we approach the landscape as a sequence: the arrival, the first glimpse of the garden, the pool terrace and the private spaces beyond. Each should have its own purpose while belonging to one complete design.

What we build in Beverly Hills Gateway

We coordinate estate pools and spas, entry paving, garden walls, outdoor entertaining and planting. Existing pools can be reassessed for a new shape, a different depth or a better relationship to the home, subject to structural and site review.

Our services in Beverly Hills Gateway: the complete property, custom pools & spas, pool reshaping & remodeling, landscape design, hardscape & outdoor living, planting & irrigation, landscape lighting, drainage, difficult sites & challenging access, large-scale & complex projects, craftsmanship and precision, 3d renderings, pool houses, balconies & decks, pedestal paving systems, artificial turf & putting greens, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire features & fire pits, tennis & pickleball courts.

An arrival that belongs to the estate

Driveway edges, entry walls, gates and planting set the tone before anyone reaches the front door. We plan those elements with lighting, drainage and the pedestrian route to the house.

A private outdoor sequence

Use terraces, planting and changes in level to create intimate places within a larger property. The aim is an inviting pool setting with clear circulation, comfortable seating and practical service access.

Planning your Beverly Hills Gateway project

Requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction and scope. We begin with a site visit, then coordinate the relevant agency review and required submittals as the project develops.

Start with the parcel
Gateway is a neighborhood name, not a separate permitting city. We confirm whether the address falls under Beverly Hills or Los Angeles before establishing the review path.
Existing landscape and site records
A survey, recorded easements and information about existing walls or pools help establish what can be retained and what needs further investigation.
Coordinated approvals
We check applicable city, hillside, tree and private design requirements for the property and coordinate them with the proposed scope.
Pool safety (statewide)
When a building permit is issued for a new pool or spa, or to remodel one, at a single-family home, California generally requires at least two qualifying drowning-prevention features. Some two-feature combinations are prohibited, and local rules can add requirements. A qualifying locking safety cover provides a statutory exception for a hot tub or spa. We confirm the applicable combination and any exception with the permitting authority. Source ↗
Pool heating energy rules (statewide)
Since January 1, 2026, new pool heating installations must generally use a qualifying primary heat source, such as a heat pump or solar, under California’s 2025 Title 24 energy standards. Read our pool energy code FAQs.
Water-efficient landscapes (statewide)
New landscapes of 500 square feet or more, or rehabilitated landscapes of 2,500 square feet or more, that need a building permit, plan check or design review must meet California’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) or the local version of it. Source ↗

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.

Sources and local agencies

Local requirements can change. We review the current rules for the property address and proposed scope.
