What customers ask before signing the contract.
Pavers, concrete, or natural stone?
Pavers cost more up front, are infinitely patchable. Stamped concrete reads premium and is faster to install. Natural stone (travertine, flagstone) is the long-game choice. We will tell you which fits your lot, climate, and budget.
Will the new deck work with the existing pool?
Yes. We pull the deck levels, drainage, and finishes off the existing pool tile and coping line so everything reads as one project.
Do you do the planters and walls too?
Yes. Built-in planters, low retaining walls, and structural seating are routine. Engineered retaining walls over 4 feet require a separate permit, which we pull.
How much does a hardscape project typically run?
Small deck extensions and paver work start around $22,000. Larger projects involving retaining walls, multi-level decks, or extensive drainage work commonly land in the $22,000 to $55,000 range depending on square footage and grading.
Can you fix a deck that has settled or cracked near the pool?
Yes. Settling near a pool shell is usually a drainage or sub-base issue rather than a pool structural problem. We diagnose the cause first, since re-pouring over a bad sub-base just delays the same crack from coming back.
How do you keep water off the pool deck during rain?
Proper slope, channel drains at low points, and permeable joints where pavers are used. We grade every hardscape project to move water away from the pool shell and the house foundation, not just off the visible surface.
Will hardscape work require draining the pool?
No, typically not. Deck and hardscape work happens around the pool shell without touching the water, unless the project specifically involves demolishing coping or decking that sits at the waterline.
Can you build multi-level decking on a sloped backyard?
Yes, this is common on hillside lots in Studio City and Sherman Oaks. Multi-level decks use retaining structure and stairs to turn unusable slope into functional outdoor space, tied visually into the pool deck.
Do you offer fire pits or seating walls as part of hardscape?
Yes, built-in seating walls, fire pits, and low planters are routine additions to a hardscape project. Larger fire features with gas lines are scoped and quoted alongside our fire and water features service.
