What a pool and backyard cost
A pool with its equipment, decking and fencing runs $95,000 to $250,000 in Los Angeles, and the landscape around it another $40,000 to $150,000 depending on retaining, planting and hardscape area. Excavation access decides a surprising share of that: a yard a machine can reach from the street is a different job from one that has to be dug by hand through a side gate. We price the pool, the deck and the planting separately so scope is easy to trim.
Drainage, permits and inspections
A pool needs a permit, and so does the fence around it: California requires an isolation barrier with a self-closing, self-latching gate and no climbable objects beside it. Deck drainage has to move water away from the house and away from the pool shell, which on a sloping lot means retaining walls designed by an engineer. We sequence excavation, shell, plumbing, electrical bonding, inspection, deck, then planting, so nothing gets buried before it has been signed off.
A yard that works in August
Shade matters more than any other line item. A pergola, mature trees placed for afternoon sun and a covered sitting area are what make the yard usable through the hot months, and they cost less than a larger pool. We plan planting by water use and by how much leaf litter it drops into the water. Every project is photographed before and after from the same spot so you can see what actually changed.
