Thinking of a custom swimming pool for your Sabre Springs home? Hillside Pool Builders specializes in luxury pool construction and building custom inground pools, pool design and integrated outdoor living spaces, in selected communities of Southern California, including Sabre Springs.
Contemporary swimming pool designs need to incorporate the existing conditions of the site. This includes the natural features of the site such as topography, as well as the needs of the client on a daily basis.
Hillside Pool Builders is located at 5000 Van Nuys Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. Sabre Springs is within our service areas and we can be reached to determine our project availability. We do not have a Sabre Springs office.

Sabre Springs is a rolling hill neighborhood in northeastern San Diego, located between Scripps Ranch and Carmel Mountain Ranch.
Since much of the neighborhood is made up of residential areas, pool design can vary greatly depending on the nature of the backyard. Some backyards have relatively flat spaces, while others include grade changes and construction restrictions. Some even have existing retaining walls.
It is important to remember that not everyone can have the largest pool in their backyard. The goal is to create an outdoor space that is integrated into the home and provides adequate space for everyday use.
Decisions made early on in the process regarding the location of the pool can influence other design decisions, including circulation, use of space, privacy, and adjacent landscaping. This is especially true for those homeowners in Sabre Springs that are considering constructing a new swimming pool.
Our luxury pool construction services focus on creating swimming pools that complement the home’s architecture and surrounding outdoor environment.
Design options may consist of geometric layouts, sophisticated finishes, integrated spas, and water features.
Other design elements may include materials used poolside.
A good luxury design balances appearance and utility. Excessive elements are avoided.
Through custom pool construction, homeowners can explore pool shapes, dimensions, depths, and layouts based on their property.
A rectangular pool is the most practical shape for providing swimming space, while a compact or custom shaped pool may allow more space for seating or outdoor dining, including landscaping.
Our inground pool construction services also consider entry steps, equipment placement, and surrounding deck space.
Sloped properties or changes in backyard elevation may require a special construction plan.
Our hillside pool construction services consider site access, excavation, drainage, and potential structural requirements.
Depending on a Sabre Springs property’s views, elevations and engineering conditions, an infinity edge design can be explored.
Not all Sabre Springs properties require hillside construction and not all benefit from an infinity edge.
Before construction begins, we assess the property’s access, soil conditions, existing structures, drainage, and grading requirements.
For sloped or restricted-access properties, additional engineering or structural planning may be necessary. Our pool excavation team reviews these conditions during project planning to help determine an appropriate construction approach.
An attached or raised spa can be incorporated into the pool design when it suits the backyard layout.
Our custom spa construction services help homeowners consider spa placement, access, and integration with the pool.
Related outdoor living services include planning for patios, pool decking, landscaping, and gathering areas.
The City of San Diego calls Sabre Springs a community of rolling hills situated near Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve.
Site characteristics, such as the topography of the land, becomes increasingly important with properties that have sloping conditions or high elevation changes.
Homeowners should investigate the locations of existing walls and drainage ways prior to pool placement, as well as consider where access for construction and pool equipment may be placed.
The need for grading or structural engineering for a given property will depend on the particular conditions of the property and pool design.
A swimming pool should look nice when looked at from within the home and from various places in the backyard.
Take into account main living area views, windows, fences, and the pool and seating areas relative to the house.
If the backyard has a good view, you can design the pool to help preserve that. Elsewhere, working shrubs and other landscaping to improve privacy can help.
As with many other inland San Diego communities, Sabre Springs experiences warm, dry summer conditions.
Pool plans must consider afternoons, both sun and shade, the comfort of deck surfaces, planting choices, and landscaping.
Homeowners are also encouraged to explore planting choices as well as equipment options (covers, filters, heaters) to make the pool more efficient.
These choices improve the everyday usability of the pool and enable homeowners to plan for the future of their pool ownership.
As Sabre Springs is within the city limits of San Diego, construction approvals are processed through the City’s Development Services Department.
New swimming pools require a building permit and inspections. Other approvals and plan checks may be required based on the site and nature of the project.
Projects in areas designated as steep slopes and/or environmentally sensitive may have additional development restrictions.
Not all swimming pool excavations require a separate grading permit. Whether a permit is required is determined by the approved construction scope and existing site conditions.
Homeowners are encouraged to determine the applicable development standards and restrictions before initiating construction to help avoid costly surprises.

Sabre Springs address and ZIP code? Approximate dimensions of your backyard? Photos? Are there access challenges? Slope concerns?
Thinking about the placement of your pool, the features you want, the materials you’re considering, and construction challenges?
This could include design work, engineering, permitting, excavation, construction of the pool, equipment installation and finishing work.
Any approvals and inspections must happen prior to the use of the completed pool.
The final scope and schedule depend on the property, approvals, and agreed project requirements.
The cost for luxury pool construction is determined by the design and site conditions for each individual project.
Dimensions, excavation, access, structural requirements, equipment, finishes, spas, water features, and outdoor improvements impact the budget.
For example, a basic inground pool on a level, easily accessible lot, requires less construction considerations than a custom pool on a steep site with remote equipment access.
A site specific proposal is more helpful than a general price estimate.
We also cover Sabre Springs just like other areas of Southern California.
The community is surrounded by Scripps Ranch, Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, and Carmel Mountain Ranch.
Although our business is in Sherman Oaks, we can assist you as our coverage area does include Sabre Springs.
