Comprehensive Services from Design to Completion
Our services go beyond just building pools. We offer comprehensive solutions that cover every aspect of your project, from initial design and engineering to final installation and landscaping.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose Los Angeles Hillside Pool Builders:
Planning and Design
- Site Assessment: Evaluate the slope, soil type, and stability of the hillside. Engage a geotechnical engineer to analyze the site and provide recommendations.
- Design: Work with an architect or pool designer to create a plan that complements the landscape. Consider factors like pool shape, depth, retaining walls, drainage, and aesthetic elements.
- Permits and Approvals: Obtain necessary permits from local authorities. This may involve presenting detailed plans and engineering reports.
Custom Design
- Clearing the Site: Remove vegetation, rocks, and debris from the construction area.
- Excavation: Carefully excavate the pool area according to the design specifications. This might involve creating terraced levels if the slope is steep.
- Grading: Grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and prevent erosion. This step is crucial for directing water away from the pool.
Plumbing and Electrical
- Plumbing Installation: Install pipes for water circulation, filtration, heating, and any water features (like fountains or jets). Ensure all plumbing meets code and is pressure-tested for leaks.
- Electrical Work: Install electrical systems for pool lights, pumps, heaters, and automation systems. This work must be performed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.
Pool Shell Construction
- Formwork: Set up wooden or metal forms to shape the pool. Ensure these are securely anchored.
- Reinforcement: Place steel rebar within the forms for structural strength. The rebar must be precisely positioned according to the engineering plans.
- Concrete Pouring: Pour concrete into the forms, ensuring it is evenly distributed and free of air pockets. This may involve spraying (shotcrete or gunite) for freeform pools.
Installing Retaining Walls
- Foundation: Lay a solid foundation for the retaining walls, often using reinforced concrete.
- Wall Construction: Build retaining walls to hold back the hillside and create a level area for the pool. These walls must be engineered to withstand the pressure from the hillside.
- Drainage Systems: Install drainage systems behind the retaining walls to prevent water buildup, which could destabilize the walls.
Ongoing Maintenance
- Regular Maintenance: Implement a regular maintenance routine to keep the pool clean and the equipment functioning properly. This includes cleaning the pool, balancing chemicals, and inspecting equipment.
Final Inspections and Testing
- Inspection: Have all work inspected by local authorities to ensure it meets safety and building codes.
- Filling and Testing: Fill the pool with water and test all systems, including filtration, heating, and lighting. Check for leaks and make any necessary adjustments.
Ongoing Maintenance
- Regular Maintenance: Implement a regular maintenance routine to keep the pool clean and the equipment functioning properly. This includes cleaning the pool, balancing chemicals, and inspecting equipment.
Finishing Touches
- Surface Finishing: Apply the pool surface finish, such as plaster, tile, or aggregate. This step ensures a smooth, watertight surface.
- Coping and Decking: Install coping (the capstone on the pool edge) and construct the surrounding deck. Materials for these can include concrete, pavers, stone, or wood, depending on the design.
- Landscaping: Landscape the area around the pool to enhance aesthetics and prevent erosion. This may involve planting grass, shrubs, and installing erosion control measures.

Hillside Pool FAQ
How to build a pool on a hillside or slope?
Building a pool on a hillside or slope involves a more complex process compared to constructing a pool on level ground due to the need for ensuring stability and proper drainage.
Why build a pool on a hillside?
Building a pool on a hillside rather than on flat land is worth the extra effort. Besides having an incredible place to spend those hot Los Angeles summer days, you’ll also get to take full advantage of the real estate you’ve spent your money on. Whether you decide to build an infinity pool, a terraced pool with a grotto and waterfall or just a basic swimming pool, having it in a position where you can swim and see the city or the amazing Los Angeles landscape can be a life changing experience.
Different Types of Hillside Pools
There are a number of pool styles you can choose from. The most popular hillside or sloped hill pool type is the infinity pool, however there are a number of other choices. Click here to find a few examples (link to gallery with pool styles) and schedule a consultation so we can help you decide what best fits your needs and budget.
Why you need a specialist to build a hillside pool
Building a pool on normal, flat ground can be a project above most homeowners risk tolerance. It’s more difficult than ‘dig a hole and fill it’. In order to comply with all the city requirements and codes as well as make sure your pool won’t electrocute you, suffer from drainage issues, fall off the hill, collapse into your neighbors yard or end up a stale cesspool of mold and viruses. It’s important that you consult with an experienced team that knows how to address all these issues before they arise. You also get the benefit of our insurance and bonding being on the line rather than depending on your homeowners insurance or savings in order to cover any damages that might occur during or after construction.
Can you put a pool on a hillside
In most cases, building a pool on a hillside is certainly possible. There are always areas of Los Angeles where it’s either impossible or cost prohibitive to all but the richest Angelenos to afford. However you’d be surprised at how affordable building a hillside pool with us can be, especially when you factor in added home value and the ‘wow’ factor you get for the price. Reach out today and get a free in-home consultation and see how possible building a pool on a slope or hillside can be.
What is the best pool to build on a hillside or slope
Without question the most in-demand pool style for a slope or hillside is the infinity pool. With its endless edge and capacity to take full advantage of the space an infinity pool can get you the most bang for your buck. Another huge advantage of the infinity pool style is that it can add a lot of value to your home for a relatively inexpensive cost making it easier to sell or refinance in the future.
Is it more expensive to build a pool on a hillside or slope
When compared to building a ‘normal’ in ground pool the only added cost to building a pool on a slope or hillside is the site preparation work which includes backfilling, land removal, tree removal and other landscaping work along with retaining walls and potentially a caisson or two for foundation and leveling purposes. So while a pool on a hillside or slope can be a bit more costly you also get the amazing views and styling that is otherwise impossible on flat land.
