Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ Hardscaping
Here you will find all the answers to your questions about Hardscaping from our team of professional experts.
Do I need a permit to build a pool or a large patio?
Yes, a permit is required for most significant outdoor structures, especially pools, decks over 30 inches high, and structures with gas or electrical lines like an outdoor kitchen. We manage this entire process.
What are the best low-maintenance materials for a patio?
High-quality pavers and natural stone like travertine or flagstone are excellent choices. They are durable, beautiful, and require less maintenance than wood decks.
What is a "drought-tolerant" landscape?
It’s a landscape design that uses native California plants and other species that require very little irrigation once established. It often incorporates hardscaping elements like decomposed granite and rocks to reduce lawn area.
How long does it take to build a custom swimming pool?
From excavation to the final plaster and filling, a custom pool build typically takes 3 to 5 months, not including the time for design and permitting.
Can you incorporate a fire pit or outdoor fireplace into the design?
Absolutely. Fire features are one of our most requested elements. We can design and build both wood-burning and gas-powered fire pits and fireplaces that serve as a stunning focal point for your outdoor space.
