What we build in Brentwood

We build new pools and spas, reshape existing pools and renovate complete landscapes. Paving, shade, cooking, planting, irrigation and lighting are coordinated with access, drainage and the existing features worth keeping.

Our services in Brentwood: 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.

Balance activity and retreat

We help decide where swimming, play, dining and relaxation belong so the yard feels generous without competing uses crowding one another. Privacy is considered from the seating areas as well as from inside the house.

Connect the levels

When a property changes elevation, well-placed steps and terraces can make more of the yard useful. We study the connection between house thresholds, pool decking and garden paths before finalizing finishes.

Planning your Brentwood 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.

Los Angeles review
Brentwood is a Los Angeles neighborhood. We confirm the parcel requirements and any applicable overlays through the city planning process.
Address-specific conditions
Hillside, tree, fire-zone and scenic-corridor considerations are checked where applicable; they are not identical across every Brentwood property.
Existing pool assessment
For a remodel, we review available records, pool condition, utilities and access before establishing the structural scope and permit needs.
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 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.

Sources and local agencies

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