Terrain
Steep slopes requiring caissons, retaining, and careful drainage.

Landscape design & build · Hills & Canyons
Steep sites, tight access, and a view that runs the entire design.
In the Hollywood Hills the view is the client. Every terrace level, pool edge, planter height, and railing detail is measured against what it does to the outlook from inside the house.
These are the most structurally demanding projects we take on: steep grades, limited street access, and retaining work that has to be engineered before anything decorative is even discussed.
Lighting is the second discipline. With the city glittering below, garden lighting has to be low, warm, and restrained — enough to shape the space, never enough to compete.

Narrow hillside streets that dictate equipment and build sequencing.
Low, warm layers that shape the terrace without washing out the view.

Common questions
Yes. Hollywood Hills is one of our regular service areas, and one team handles design, engineering, permitting, and construction — pools and spas, hardscape, water and fire features, pergolas, and planting.
The Hollywood Hills sit within the City of Los Angeles, where hillside grading limits, structural engineering, haul route approval, and fire severity zone requirements apply to most properties.
More than most people expect. Cantilevered decks, vanishing-edge pools, and stepped terraces turn a difficult slope into the reason the property is remarkable — provided the engineering is resolved first.
Design and engineering usually take a few months, and construction depends on scope — a terrace and planting is a different project from a pool, retaining structure, and pavilion. We give you a milestone schedule before work begins and keep it current as approvals clear.
