Pacific Palisades
In Pacific Palisades, your outdoor space is another living room. In fact, we enjoy outdoor weather most of the year, and even a small deck or terrace can become the best square footage in your home. That is why Pacific Palisades outdoor living pays off every single day. Our women led design build studio treats every outdoor space with care, from ranch era backyards to modern hillside terraces.
We build across Pacific Palisades, from The Village to the Alphabet Streets and up into the Highlands. First, we design your outdoor space with you. Then, our licensed team handles permits, building approvals and construction. Finally, we hand over a space built for gathering, grilling and relaxing. Above all, pricing stays clear at every step, and our Pacific Palisades outdoor living covers design, permits and build under one roof.
We tailor every Pacific Palisades outdoor living project to your space and your plans. Moreover, we bring every trade under one roof. So your project runs with one team and one clear plan, from a simple deck to a complete outdoor retreat.
New builds, rebuilds and expert waterproofing. Strong, beautiful decks made for California living.
Pavers, concrete and stone patios with seating walls and walkways that tie your yard together.
Shade structures that extend your season. Built to match your home and engineered to last.
BBQ islands, counters and bars for true outdoor entertaining. Plumbed, wired and finished right.
Fire pits, fireplaces and layered landscape lighting that keep the evening going.
Smart layouts, proper drainage and city permits handled for you. The unglamorous work that makes it all last.
Pacific Palisades outdoor living faces conditions a suburban backyard never will. Consequently, material choices that look identical in a showroom perform very differently on a Palisades deck or terrace after a few seasons of salt air and sun.
Building rules, permit requirements and city processes vary by property and are updated periodically. We confirm the current requirements for your specific property during your free consultation.
Most contractors will not discuss numbers until they have walked your property. We think that wastes your time. Below are the ranges we typically see for Pacific Palisades outdoor living, with realistic timelines from demolition to final walkthrough.
| Project Type | Typical Investment | Typical Timeline | What Drives The Range |

| New Deck, 200 to 400 sq ft | $25,000 to $65,000 | 3 to 5 weeks | Height off grade, footing depth, decking material and railing |
| Paver Or Concrete Patio | $18,000 to $55,000 | 2 to 5 weeks | Square footage, grading, drainage work and material selection |
| Pergola Or Patio Cover | $15,000 to $50,000 | 2 to 5 weeks | Span, engineering, footings and whether lighting or fans are included |
| Outdoor Kitchen Or BBQ Island | $20,000 to $75,000 | 3 to 6 weeks | Gas and water runs, appliance package, counter material and shade structure |
| Full Outdoor Transformation | $80,000 to $250,000+ | 8 to 16 weeks | Combining hardscape, structures, kitchen, fire feature, lighting and planting |
These ranges reflect typical Pacific Palisades outdoor spaces and exclude pools and spas. They are a planning guide, not a quote. After we walk your property, you receive a written, itemized price with no hidden allowances.
Our Pacific Palisades outdoor living process stays simple, transparent and collaborative. First, we listen. Then, we plan every detail with you. Because of this, you feel confident from the first call to the final reveal.
First, we walk your Pacific Palisades property with you. We learn how your family wants to live outside.
Next, we design the space and secure any permits. You get realistic timelines and clear pricing in writing.
Then our crew builds with precision. Meanwhile, you receive regular updates and a clean, safe site.
Finally, we complete a careful walkthrough together. Your outdoor space is ready for its first gathering.
Almost every outdoor space we are called to repair failed for the same two reasons. Water went where it should not have gone, or the structure was never built to carry what was put on it. Neither failure shows up in year one, and good Pacific Palisades outdoor living fixes water and structure before it beautifies the surface.
So we build from the substrate up. Decks and balconies get a proper membrane, correct slope and sealed penetrations before any decking goes down. Patios get grading and drainage that carries winter runoff away from your foundation rather than toward it. Doing it in that order is why our outdoor spaces stay trouble free a decade later.
Send us a photo and tell us how you wish you could use it. Because we know Palisades homes and coastal conditions, we will tell you what is realistic for your space and your budget before you commit to anything.
Book A Free ConsultationWe bring Pacific Palisades outdoor living to every neighborhood, from The Village to the Alphabet Streets and up into the Highlands. Also, as a boutique studio that works in Palisades homes regularly, we know the ranch era layouts, the hillside lots, the City of Los Angeles permit office and the coastal material demands well. As a result, your project keeps moving without delays.
Photos say more than any promise. Here is a look at recent deck, patio and exterior work from our team across Pacific Palisades and greater Los Angeles.
An outdoor project opens up endless possibilities. For example, you can dine outside most of the year, host friends around a real outdoor kitchen, or unwind by a fire pit under string lights. Either way, thoughtful Pacific Palisades outdoor living turns the square footage you already own into the space where you actually want to spend your evenings.
Plenty of companies will lay pavers. Here is what makes Pacific Palisades outdoor living from a licensed, women led design build studio different from hiring a handyman with a wheelbarrow.
Clients name our deck and balcony waterproofing in their reviews. That is the part nobody sees, which is exactly why it is the part worth getting right.
Plumbing, electrical and structural changes need permits and inspections. As a licensed general contractor, we handle that rather than working around it.
Salt air, canyon wind, hillside access and city design review are second nature to us because Palisades homes are our regular work.
Detailed scopes and realistic schedules before demolition day. As a result, you always know where the project stands and what comes next.
We handle the paperwork, inspections and city requirements for you, including Pacific Palisades permit and code processes.
Vetted trades, premium materials and a punch list obsession on every project. In addition, license #1034501 with full insurance on every job.
Our reputation rests on trust and care. Above all, we deliver on our promises. So read what homeowners across Los Angeles say about their outdoor and remodeling projects with our team.
Outdoor projects go wrong when they are designed around photos rather than around how you actually live. These six questions keep your Pacific Palisades outdoor living project honest. We work through all of them with you at no cost.
Decks handle sloped or elevated spots and add outdoor rooms. Patios sit at grade and cost less per square foot. Many Palisades properties need a blend of both to use every inch.
Design review, height limits, materials and neighbor notifications all shape what you can build. Knowing the rules before design starts keeps your schedule and budget intact.
A deck without proper slope and membrane leaks into the room below. A patio without drainage sends winter rain toward your foundation. Water planning comes first, always.
An outdoor kitchen needs gas and water runs, and lighting needs circuits. We map your utilities early so the island ends up where you actually want it.
West exposure bakes a patio by four in the afternoon. We plan pergolas, covers and plantings around how you use the space and when you actually sit in it.
Tell us the budget you actually have, not the one you think we want to hear. Then we phase it sensibly if needed, instead of overreaching and stopping halfway.
