Backyard Improvements in Bel Air

A full backyard build is a coordination project. Multiple elements, multiple trades, multiple inspections, all sequenced to avoid demoralizing the family living through it. We do every wood element ourselves with one crew, coordinate the rest with your pool / hardscape / landscape contractors, and run a single written schedule that updates every Friday. In Bel Air specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Established gated estate market: lower Bel Air for restored traditionals, upper Bel Air for the largest lot sizes in LA City limits, East Gate for newer compound builds. That changes what a backyard improvements project looks like — both in spec and in process.

Architecture in Bel Air runs restored mediterranean by wallace neff and paul williams, contemporary architectural compounds (saladino, steven ehrlich), and the occasional lautner survivor. — and the backyard improvements we deliver is calibrated to read with the architecture, not against it.
