South of the pier, the Hollywood Riviera and the Avenues slope hard toward the water. For parcels inside the Coastal Zone, the City issues its own coastal permits under a certified Local Coastal Program. North Redondo is flatter, denser and largely built out with townhomes and small-lot single family. We scope a backyard here based on which side of that line the property sits. Compact by regional standards: narrow, deep lots on the older south-side streets, sloped view parcels in the Riviera, and small flat lots with detached-garage rear yards in the north end. We are a design-build team, which means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. Design, engineering, permits and construction run through one project manager and our own crews, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a salesperson and a subcontractor. We are licensed, bonded and insured, [CSLB license #1119054](https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1119054) . Permits in Redondo Beach: The Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department issues residential permits, and all applications, plans and documents are submitted electronically through the City's online permit portal. Redondo Beach has a certified Local Coastal Program, so Coastal Development Permits for property inside the Coastal Zone are processed by the City under Article 10, Chapter 5, Title 10 of the municipal code rather than by the Coastal Commission, with some decisions appealable to the Commission. A waste management plan is now required with building permits. How long review takes depends on scope and whether coastal review applies. Permit details checked September 2026 against [City of Redondo Beach](https://www.redondo.org/departments/community_development/building_and_safety/index.php) , [Redondo Beach Municipal Code](https://ecode360.com/42657614) and [California Coastal Commission](https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/rflg/LCPStatusSummaryChart.pdf) . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Questions #### What Redondo Beach Homeowners Ask Who issues the permits for this work in Redondo Beach? City of Redondo Beach Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. The Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department issues residential permits, and all applications, plans and documents are submitted electronically through the City's online permit portal. Redondo Beach has a certified Local Coastal Program, so Coastal Development Permits for property inside the Coastal Zone are processed by the City under Article 10, Chapter 5, Title 10 of the municipal code rather than by the Coastal Commission, with some decisions appealable to the Commission. A waste management plan is now required with building permits. How long review takes depends on scope and whether coastal review applies. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check. What makes building in Redondo Beach different? Compact by regional standards: narrow, deep lots on the older south-side streets, sloped view parcels in the Riviera, and small flat lots with detached-garage rear yards in the north end. One local condition that shapes the work: Riviera and Avenues parcels drop steeply from the street, so pools frequently become elevated or partially raised structures with substantial retaining. Which parts of Redondo Beach do you work in? All of it, including Hollywood Riviera, Riviera Village, The Avenues and North Redondo. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site. What does a backyard or outdoor living project cost in Redondo Beach? Full backyard transformation: generally $50,000 to $250,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is how much hardscape is involved, whether a pool or outdoor kitchen is included, grading and retaining, and the level of lighting and planting. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone. How long does a backyard remodel take? A patio and turf refresh often finishes in three to five weeks. A full transformation with hardscape, an outdoor kitchen, structures and lighting typically runs ten to sixteen weeks, and longer if a pool is part of the same phase. Pavers or poured concrete? Pavers cost more up front but flex with ground movement instead of cracking, and individual units can be lifted and replaced. Poured concrete is cheaper initially, but a crack means cutting out and repouring a section that rarely matches. On most Southern California soil we recommend pavers for anything you will look at every day. Can you fix drainage at the same time? Yes, and on most projects we insist on it. Correcting grade and adding proper drainage while the yard is already open is far cheaper than retrofitting it after new hardscape is down. Do you handle the whole yard in one project? Yes. Design, permits, hardscape, structures, kitchen, lighting and planting run through one team and one project manager, so nothing gets lost between trades. #### More Services in Redondo Beach [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Redondo Beach](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/redondo-beach) [ADUs & Additions in Redondo Beach](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/adus-additions/redondo-beach) [Everything we build in Redondo Beach](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/service-areas/redondo-beach) #### Backyard & Outdoor Living Nearby [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Hermosa Beach](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/hermosa-beach) [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Manhattan Beach](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/manhattan-beach) [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Torrance](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/torrance) [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Palos Verdes Estates](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/palos-verdes-estates) [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Rancho Palos Verdes](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/rancho-palos-verdes) Planning Guides #### Before You Build in Redondo Beach Costs, materials and process notes from our own projects.
