FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Landscaping & Pools Los Angeles

How long does a custom pool take to build?

From design approval to first swim, plan on 3–5 months. Permitting takes 6–10 weeks in most LA jurisdictions; construction runs 10–14 weeks once permits are issued.

Do I need a permit for a pool or major hardscape?

Yes — pools always require permits, and hardscape over 30 inches tall (retaining walls, etc.) requires structural permits. We handle all LADBS filings and inspections.

How do you handle drought restrictions?

We design drought-tolerant planting plans, install smart irrigation controllers, and size drip systems properly. Pools are exempt from most restrictions but we plan covers and auto-fill logic to minimize water loss.

Can you work on a hillside lot?

Yes — most of our work is on hillside lots. We handle grading, drainage, retaining walls, and engineering for slope-specific challenges common in the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood Hills.

Will construction damage my existing yard?

Pool construction requires equipment access, which means protecting or replacing part of the yard. We map the access corridor during design and include restoration in the scope.
