Los Angeles backyard landscape and hardscape remodel by Line of Art Construction

The backyards that work best were designed as one space, not accumulated one project at a time. A backyard remodel with us starts with how you actually want to live outside, dinner for eight, kids in the pool, quiet coffee at sunrise, and works backward to a master plan. Then our own crews build all of it: grading, hardscape, structures, planting, and lighting, sequenced correctly and finished as one coherent space.

We remodel backyards throughout Los Angeles, from flat Valley lots in Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Encino, and North Hollywood to Studio City, Burbank, Glendale, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, and Calabasas. Our office is in Van Nuys, so most of LA is a short drive for our crews.

Why Los Angeles homeowners remodel with us.

01Master plan first

Every element, pool, patio, kitchen, fire, planting, lighting, designed together on one scaled plan. Build it all at once or phase it over two years; the pieces always fit.

02One licensed contractor

CSLB Class A license covering pools, structures, grading, and hardscape. No coordinating four contractors who don’t talk to each other.

03Drainage & grading done right

The unglamorous work that makes everything else last. Positive drainage across the whole yard before a single finish goes down.

04Itemized, phased bids

You see the real cost of each element and can phase intelligently, infrastructure first, finishes later, without paying twice for mobilization.

Our Approach

Piecemeal backyards fail at the seams, the patio poured before the pool plumbing, the kitchen island blocking the view line, planting that hides the fire pit by year three. We design the whole yard first, phase it if budget requires, and self-perform the trades so grades, drainage, and finishes meet correctly at every transition.

Los Angeles backyards also come with their own conditions: Valley summers that push past 95 degrees, clay-heavy soil that shifts and cracks under poorly built concrete, and aging lawns that cost more to water every year. We design for all of it, with shade where you’ll actually sit, hardscape set on properly compacted base, and drought-tolerant planting on drip irrigation. We also handle permits with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, so the paperwork doesn’t stall your build.

How a Los Angeles backyard remodel gets done.

01Design & Master Plan

Site survey, wish list, and budget conversation become a scaled master plan covering hardscape, structures, pool, planting, drainage, and lighting, with an itemized cost per element.

02Permits & Demo

We pull all required permits, then demo and haul off existing concrete, failing structures, and lawn. Rough grading establishes drainage patterns.

03Build in Sequence

Pool shell and utilities first, then hardscape, structures, and kitchen, each trade finishing before the next needs its space. Our crews, our schedule.

04Planting, Lighting & Finish

Planting, irrigation, low-voltage lighting, and final detailing go in last, so nothing gets trampled by construction. Final walkthrough with a complete punch list.

One plan.
One contractor.

What a backyard remodel can include.

The elements we design and build, together or in phases.
Pools, spas & water features

Custom gunite pools and spas, baja shelves, water features, and equipment, designed into the master plan so decking, drainage, and utilities are right the first time.

Patios, decks & hardscape

Pavers, natural stone, concrete, and wood or composite decking, sloped to drain, set on compacted base, and detailed to meet pool coping and planting beds cleanly.

Outdoor kitchens & dining

Built-in grills, counters, refrigeration, and bar seating, positioned for the cook to face the party, with gas, water, and power run during infrastructure phase.

Fire features & shade structures

Fire pits, fireplaces, patio covers, and pergolas, permitted, engineered, and placed where they extend the evening instead of blocking the view.

Planting, turf & lighting

Drought-tolerant planting, artificial or natural turf, drip irrigation, and low-voltage landscape lighting that makes the yard work after dark.
