So a backyard project moves through two separate desks. We sequence it that way from the start (City design review first, then County plan check through EPIC-LA) and keep any HOA architectural review running alongside. Mostly planned-development parcels: modest, well-defined rear yards in the older neighborhoods, waterfront lots with dock frontage on the island, and larger slope-backed lots along the hillside edges. 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 Westlake Village: The City contracts with Los Angeles County for building and safety, so plan check, permit issuance and inspections are handled by the County Department of Public Works Building and Safety Division through its Calabasas office and the EPIC-LA online system, while planning and design review stay with the City's Planning Department at City Hall. Any permit or zoning clearance for new construction or exterior changes must meet the City's design standards (WVMC 9.15), and uses in the RPD zone need a planned development permit, although alterations to an existing single-family home are exempt (WVMC 9.6.070). Parcels inside the Hillside Management Area must meet the City's hillside development standards, which call for preserving prominent ridgelines and minimizing grading. We also check any HOA CC&Rs for a separate architectural approval. Permit details checked September 2026 against [City of Westlake Village](https://www.wlv.org/163/Building-Safety) and [Westlake Village Municipal Code](https://library.municode.com/ca/westlake_village/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=ART9ZORE_CH9.17HIDEST_9.17.020AP) . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel. What We Build - City design review plus County plan check sequencing - HOA architectural submittals - Lakefront and hillside retaining design - New gunite pool and spa construction - Full pool remodels and replastering - Pebble, quartz and plaster interior finishes - Waterline tile and coping replacement - Raised and attached spas with spillways - Baja shelves, benches and sun ledges - Water features, fire bowls and sheer descents - Equipment upgrades, heaters and automation - Pool decking in pavers, concrete or travertine - LED lighting and salt-water conversions Local Conditions #### What to Know in Westlake Village These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget. 01 Lakefront parcels need a site-specific soils investigation before pool shell and retaining design. 02 Hillside Management Area parcels must preserve prominent ridgelines and minimize grading, which pushes outdoor living into stepped terraces rather than a single pad. 03 Island and cul-de-sac lots have tight street frontage, so excavation spoil, gunite and equipment access frequently require conveyor or crane staging. 04 Wildland-adjacent slopes on the southern and western edges bring defensible-space obligations directly into the landscape and hardscape plan.

In Westlake Village that submittal goes to Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division (under contract to the City of Westlake Village). 04 ##### Excavation & Shell Dig, steel, plumbing and gunite. This is where site access and grading matter most. 05 ##### Finishes Tile, coping, decking and your chosen interior finish go in. 06 ##### Startup & Handover We fill, balance the water, commission the equipment and walk you through every control. Questions #### What Westlake Village Homeowners Ask Who issues the permits for this work in Westlake Village? Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division (under contract to the City of Westlake Village). The City contracts with Los Angeles County for building and safety, so plan check, permit issuance and inspections are handled by the County Department of Public Works Building and Safety Division through its Calabasas office and the EPIC-LA online system, while planning and design review stay with the City's Planning Department at City Hall.

Parcels inside the Hillside Management Area must meet the City's hillside development standards, which call for preserving prominent ridgelines and minimizing grading. We also check any HOA CC&Rs for a separate architectural approval. 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 Westlake Village different? Mostly planned-development parcels: modest, well-defined rear yards in the older neighborhoods, waterfront lots with dock frontage on the island, and larger slope-backed lots along the hillside edges. One local condition that shapes the work: Lakefront parcels need a site-specific soils investigation before pool shell and retaining design. Which parts of Westlake Village do you work in? All of it, including Westlake Island, First Neighborhood, Three Springs and Watergate. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site. What does a pool or spa project cost in Westlake Village? New pool construction: generally $70,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is size and shape, spa, water and fire features, decking material, automation, and how much access and grading the site needs. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone. How long does a pool remodel take? A straightforward replaster with new tile and coping usually runs three to five weeks. A full remodel that includes new decking, equipment and features typically runs eight to twelve weeks. Site access and permit timing are the two things that move that most. How long does a new pool take to build? Most new pool builds run about three to five months from permit to first swim. Hillside sites that need engineered retaining or difficult access sit at the longer end of that range. Should I replaster or fully remodel? If the shell and plumbing are sound and you only dislike the surface, replastering with new tile and coping is the efficient choice. If the equipment is aging, the deck is cracked or the shape no longer suits how you use the yard, a full remodel costs less than doing it in two separate phases. Do you self-perform the work? Yes. Our own crews handle the build rather than passing it to a rotating set of subs, which is why the schedule and the finish standard stay consistent. #### More Services in Westlake Village [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Westlake Village](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/westlake-village) [ADUs & Additions in Westlake Village](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/adus-additions/westlake-village) [Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling in Westlake Village](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/interior-remodeling/westlake-village) [Plans, Permits & Design in Westlake Village](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/plans-permits/westlake-village) [Everything we build in Westlake Village](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/service-areas/westlake-village) #### Pool & Spa Remodeling Nearby [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Thousand Oaks](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/thousand-oaks) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Agoura Hills](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/agoura-hills) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Calabasas](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/calabasas) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Hidden Hills](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/hidden-hills) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Oak Park](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/oak-park) Planning Guides #### Before You Build in Westlake Village Costs, materials and process notes from our own projects.
