Pool & landscape builder in Manhattan Beach.

What we build in Manhattan Beach

We build custom pools and spas, pool remodels, outdoor kitchens, paving, planting and lighting. A smaller pool or a revised pool footprint may create a better balance between water and usable outdoor living space, depending on the site and structural review.

Give the layout room to breathe

We compare the pool footprint with the space needed for seating, dining and movement. The goal is a yard where the main activities fit comfortably, with equipment and service access considered early.

Think through the build

Delivery routes, excavation access and where materials can be staged are important to the project scope. We review those practical constraints before committing to a layout and budget.

Planning your Manhattan Beach 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 review

We coordinate the proposed scope with the City of Manhattan Beach and confirm the permits and reviews required for the address.

Drainage and public space

We check runoff requirements and whether proposed construction activity affects the sidewalk or public right of way.

Coastal and site conditions

Coastal-zone status, property boundaries, exposure and available access are reviewed for the particular property before design decisions are finalized.

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 ↗
