Outdoor Living Spaces Designed Around Your Life
Build Up Remodeling creates complete outdoor environments where pools, patios, kitchens, shade, fire, lighting, landscape, and architecture work together as one cohesive experience.
The best outdoor spaces are designed, not assembled.
A pool, patio cover, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit can each look impressive on their own. The real difference is how naturally they work together.
We begin by understanding how your family arrives, gathers, cooks, relaxes, entertains, and moves through the property. Our approach to complete backyard remodeling in Los Angeles brings these elements together, creating an outdoor space that feels intentional instead of crowded with disconnected features.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor living projects.
Your property, city requirements, access, utilities, materials, design goals, and total scope determine the final plan.
How much does a complete outdoor living project cost in Los Angeles?
Complete backyard projects commonly begin around $50,000 and can exceed $300,000 when they include pools, spas, outdoor kitchens, patio covers, extensive hardscape, utilities, drainage, lighting, walls, landscaping, and premium finishes.
What warranty does Build Up Remodeling provide on outdoor living projects?
Build Up Remodeling provides a 5-year limited workmanship warranty on qualifying contracted installation work. Depending on the project, selected turf, pavers, patio cover systems, pool equipment, appliances, composite decking, lighting components, and other products may also include separate manufacturer warranties. Exact coverage depends on the contracted scope, product, manufacturer, exclusions, and signed construction agreement.
Can Build Up Remodeling design my entire backyard?
Yes. We plan complete outdoor environments that may include pools, spas, patios, kitchens, shade structures, fire features, decks, turf, hardscape, walls, lighting, drainage, gas, electrical work, and landscape coordination.
What is the 3-Zone Systemâ„¢?
The 3-Zone Systemâ„¢ organizes a property around the Arrival Zoneâ„¢, Living Zoneâ„¢, and Activity Zoneâ„¢ so individual features support clear hierarchy, natural movement, and a cohesive experience.
Do you provide 3D backyard design renderings before construction?
Design visualization may be included depending on the project and design agreement. Renderings can help homeowners understand layout, feature relationships, material direction, and the overall design before construction.
What areas do you serve?
Build Up Remodeling serves Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California communities, including the San Fernando Valley, West Los Angeles, the Santa Clarita Valley, selected San Gabriel Valley communities, and selected Ventura County communities.
How long does a complete backyard remodel take?
Timing depends on design, permits, engineering, materials, access, weather, inspections, and scope. Smaller renovations may take several weeks, while large projects with pools and structures may require several months.
Can an outdoor living project be completed in phases?
In some cases, yes. A complete master plan should be created first so utilities, drainage, access, structural work, and future features are considered before phase one begins.
Do outdoor living projects require permits?
Many projects require permits, especially pools, spas, patio covers, structural walls, electrical upgrades, gas lines, plumbing, and certain grading or drainage work. Requirements vary by city and scope.
Can you build a pool, outdoor kitchen, and patio cover in one project?
Yes. Coordinating these features under one design-build plan can improve layout, utility planning, construction sequencing, material continuity, and the relationship between cooking, shade, seating, and recreation.
How do I begin planning my project?
Start with the Outdoor Living Plannerâ„¢ to organize priorities, then use the Backyard Budget Estimatorâ„¢ to compare features and investment ranges. A consultation can then evaluate the property, goals, timeline, and next steps.
