Built for Tarzana Homes
Tarzana's hillside lots south of Ventura Boulevard tend to be wide and private, which is a genuine advantage: you can put a pool, a covered kitchen and a lawn on the same property without any of them feeling crowded against a fence. The most common thing we correct here is electrical service that was sized for a 1950s or 1960s house and is now being asked to run pool equipment, landscape lighting and an outdoor kitchen.
Standard-size flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard, and larger, private hillside lots to the south (typically about 15,000 to 21,000 square feet) with room for real outdoor rooms rather than a pool squeezed against a fence.
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 .
Permits in Tarzana: Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a Combined Building-Mechanical permit, while pools serving more than two dwelling units need separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits. Using a City of Los Angeles standard plan on file with LADBS reduces plan check time.
Hillside parcels south of Ventura Boulevard trigger Baseline Hillside Ordinance grading review.
Permit details checked September 2026 against LADBS . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Tarzana
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Flat lots north of the boulevard are mostly standard valley size, so pool and outdoor-kitchen layouts need careful planning; the wider lots are mainly on the hillside south of Ventura Boulevard
02
Hillside lots to the south need slope analysis before pool siting is finalized
03
Older properties often carry undersized electrical service that needs upgrading for pool equipment and outdoor lighting

The Process
How We Work in Tarzana
01
Site Review
We walk the property, check access, soil and slope, and confirm what the yard can actually take.
02
Design & 3D
You see the pool in 3D before anything is dug, with finishes, tile and decking chosen.
03
Plans & Permits
We draw the plans, handle engineering where the site needs it, and pull the permits. In Tarzana that submittal goes to Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
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 Tarzana Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Tarzana?
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a Combined Building-Mechanical permit, while pools serving more than two dwelling units need separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits.
Using a City of Los Angeles standard plan on file with LADBS reduces plan check time. Hillside parcels south of Ventura Boulevard trigger Baseline Hillside Ordinance grading review. 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 Tarzana different?
Standard-size flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard, and larger, private hillside lots to the south (typically about 15,000 to 21,000 square feet) with room for real outdoor rooms rather than a pool squeezed against a fence. One local condition that shapes the work: Flat lots north of the boulevard are mostly standard valley size, so pool and outdoor-kitchen layouts need careful planning; the wider lots are mainly on the hillside south of Ventura Boulevard.
Which parts of Tarzana do you work in?
All of it, including Braemar. 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 Tarzana?
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.

Planning Guides
Before You Build in Tarzana
Costs, materials and process notes from our own projects.
Tarzana Outdoor Living: Costs by Lot Type Tarzana backyards run hot and deep. A working outdoor living build here (shade, hardscape, kitchen, lighting) typically lands between $85,000 and $220,000, and the ground drives most of the number. Read guide Building a Pool in Northridge: Costs and Permits A new pool in Northridge typically runs $85,000 to $165,000 all-in with decking and equipment. The tract lots are generous, the soil is workable, and the real variables are access, spa and deck square footage. Read guide Van Nuys Pool and Backyard Costs A new pool in Van Nuys runs $75,000 to $145,000, and a pool-plus-backyard package $110,000 to $220,000. Flat lots keep excavation honest; older service panels and gas meters are where budgets slip. Read guide Travertine vs Porcelain Pavers for SoCal Yards Travertine installs at roughly $22 to $30 per square foot, porcelain at $24 to $34. The real difference is heat, staining and how each one handles a chlorinated pool deck over ten years. Read guide
