What we build in Hidden Hills

We design and build custom pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, terraces, planting and lighting, alongside drainage and retaining walls where needed. Pool remodeling can be part of a larger property renovation with one coordinated scope and budget.

Our services in Hidden Hills: 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.

Keep the landscape connected

We consider the relationship between the house, pool, garden and any existing equestrian or recreation areas. Paths, screening and service access should support daily use without fragmenting the property.

Make the pool setting feel natural

Materials, planting and pool proportions can create a relaxed outdoor setting while still accommodating substantial entertaining. We study those choices together during the design process.

Planning your Hidden Hills 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.

City and association review
Hidden Hills is an incorporated city with its own building and planning process. We also review the private community requirements that apply to the property.
Construction arrangements
We plan deliveries, access, staging and site maintenance around the applicable city and community requirements.
Fire and pool requirements
The proposed pool and landscape are reviewed against current city and fire requirements, including any site-specific provisions identified during permitting.
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 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.

Sources and local agencies

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