Let the architecture guide the details

Paving patterns, garden walls, pool geometry and planting should feel intentional beside the house. We discuss which existing features give the property its character and how new work can relate to them.

A private garden for modern use

A carefully placed pool, comfortable dining terrace and layered planting can support everyday living without overwhelming the garden. We study views from the house and the amount of space each activity needs.

Planning your Hancock Park 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.

Historic district review

Hancock Park includes a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. For a property within the district, exterior and landscape work is subject to additional review under the applicable preservation process.

Check the specific property

We verify district boundaries, the property’s status and the proposed scope with Los Angeles City Planning before establishing submittals.

Construction and preservation

Access, existing trees, garden features and nearby structures are considered together when planning excavation and construction sequencing.

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 ↗
