Custom Luxury Pool Construction for Mission Hills Homes

Mission Hills is a neighborhood in the northeastern part of the San Fernando Valley. Home and property sizes and layouts vary.

Decisions about a new swimming pool often hinge on how the pool relates to the home, patio, garden, and walkways.

A swimming pool placed thoughtfully and strategically can connect the home and backyard and serve to redefine and re-purpose the backyard.

Integrating a swimming pool with other backyard improvements can create a backyard that is on a whole new level. Careful integration can help avoid a hodge-podge of disconnected materials and improvements.

Luxury Pool Design and Construction

Our luxury pool construction services focus on creating a coordinated outdoor environment.

Adding features because they look luxurious is not our philosophy. We consider the pool placement, architectural lines and finishes, spa design, landscaping, and outdoor living areas.

A well-thought-out design and placement of a luxury pool creates a focal point and a visual impact without looking out of place and overwhelming the property.

Custom Swimming Pool Construction

Through custom pool construction, homeowners can consider several things when designing a backyard pool.

From shape to size to the specific features a pool can have, there are a variety of options to choose from.

For example, you may want a pool that has a special area designed for seated lounging. Or perhaps a geometric shape is more your style.

New Inground Pool Construction

Our inground pool construction services help homeowners plan the placement of their permanent swimming pool.

Factors that impact the design of the pool, placement of the pool equipment, pool entry steps, pool deck, and usable yard space, must be taken into account before the final design is approved.

Gunite and Custom Pool Shell Options

Gunite is a construction method used to create reinforced-concrete swimming pool shells. It allows flexibility in pool shapes and designs, making it suitable for many custom pool projects.

The appropriate construction method depends on your property’s soil conditions, structural requirements, design preferences, and engineering specifications. Our team can discuss suitable options during the project planning process.

Individuals planning to construct a gunite pool in Mission Hills should discuss the design and type of finish to be used for the pool shell, as well as the required structural and construction details.

Custom Pool and Spa Construction

An added spa, attached or raised, can be a great addition to a swimming pool if it is planned for at the outset.

our custom spa construction services, you can envision and create integrated spa layouts, as well as allow for convenient access from your pool and patio.

Hillside Pool Construction

Hillside construction requires attention to excavation and structural requirements.

Not every Mission Hills property requires hillside construction. The appropriate approach depends on the actual site.

Outdoor Living Design and Backyard Improvements

The luxury backyard isn’t just the pool.

You can consider our outdoor living services along with pool decking, patios, landscaping, outdoor kitchens, gathering areas, etc.

When used together, these elements help create a backyard that functions for comfortable everyday use.

What Makes Pool Planning Different in Mission Hills?

Existing Homes and Backyard Conditions

Homes near the historic Mission San Fernando Rey de España and in Brand Park comprise the established neighborhoods of Mission Hills.

Improving the backyard of an existing home may begin with an old patio, overgrown landscaping, a partial barrier, or limited space between buildings.

These are unique to a property and not conditions that apply to every home.

When considering design options prior to constructing a new pool, think about what existing features should be maintained and how the pool deck will connect to the house.

Designing with Limited Backyard Space

A large pool does not always equal the best design.

Look at your backyard and determine where you need to incorporate dining and lounging areas. A swimming pool that integrates thoughtful design with site landscaping may best achieve the balance needed for the outdoor environment.

Consider how people will travel from the house to the pool, and where furniture will be placed, and what will make the pool area comfortable for use by guests.

Construction and Site Preparation

Existing homes and fences on a site may control the construction access on all sides of the home.

Think about where equipment and materials will access the construction site, and where the pool equipment will be located.

Pool excavation requirements depend on access, soil conditions, existing structures, and the planned design.

San Fernando Valley Heat and Outdoor Comfort

Mission Hills benefits from the San Fernando Valley’s dry, warm climate in the summer.

Elements such as providing shade, selecting poolside materials, landscape plantings, and seating placement need to be designed at the start of the project.

A coordinated pool landscape design can help homeowners plan privacy, comfortable gathering areas, and the overall appearance of the backyard.

City of Los Angeles Permits and Safety

Mission Hills is within the City of Los Angeles.

New swimming pool construction generally requires appropriate permits, plans and inspections in accordance with the City and County building and safety requirements. Design standards may require setbacks, electrical and plumbing systems and pool barrier and other safety measures. Projects involving grading and/or other site conditions may require additional review.

The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety should be consulted for the specific requirements of the property.
