About Us
Before becoming Pacific Outdoor Living, we started as Pacific Pavingstone, and only doing one trade: paving stone driveways and patios. Over the years, we were asked to do more and more things—from fireplaces to swimming pools.
In 2010, we took the plunge and made every mistake in the book trying to become a full landscape design-build company. We have learned that in order to be completely successful at anything, you need to have within it people who are truly professionals at what they do. A professional is one that knows everything about his subject, is consistently learning how to get better, and is so good that he has judgment on what and how to do things because he understands the basic principles behind them.
There is no trade school where one can get the information to be a pro, so we had to assemble the materials and put them together in a course format for the crews, the designers, the site analyzers, the estimators and the supervisors.
To answer the question “about us” or who we are, we are a company intent on creating professional products in each aspect of the landscape design process, from measuring your property, into the design and through to final construction.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
ExcellentBased on 173 reviewsG S2024-06-19I am very tough to satisfy, very detail-oriented, and ask a ton of questions. Yet Pacific Outdoor impressed me at every stage of the project. It’s a company with a culture that listens and wants to please. It has the knowledge and the talent to do so. There are precious few companies with Pacific's breath and depths of capabilities. They have specialized teams for each function, and a supervisor over each team, as well as an overall project supervisor. The set up is perfect since the result is high-quality, competent work, efficiently provided. Pacific’s teams couldn't have been better. Julian was the lead designer and coordinated the preparation of the plans. He listened and created, and it was a collaborative effort. Juan was the overall manager, and was terrific. He was the glue that held the project together, and I couldn't have had a better person in this role. All of the team supervisors and their teams also were exceptional. Luis for demolition had a large team and was incredibly organized and efficient. Another Luis for landscaping was extraordinarily knowledgeable, helpful, creative and accommodating. His team did incredible work with a large variety of beautiful plants, irrigation, grass, a dry river bed, and amazing lighting. Enrique is a master mason, building beautiful flagstone decks and an amazing firepit. Martin did a terrific job creating a beautiful large paver pool deck and gorgeous coping around the pool. The pool and spa alone had multiple teams for tiling and pebble resurfacing. And then the pergola/balcony team did wonders. Lots of people, each group skilled in their trade. The result: I now have a dreamworld outside to live in, day and night. I couldn't be happier, and Pacific could not have provided more value than they did. They exceeded my expectations. This hard-to-satisfy, demanding person is beyond satisfied. I highly recommend them.Matthew Plunkett2024-06-18I had the pleasure of working with Pacific Outdoor Living for a complete landscaping overhaul of my backyard, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The design team at Pacific Outdoor Living truly listened to my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. They crafted a beautiful and functional outdoor space that blends seamlessly with my home’s architecture and natural surroundings. Their creativity and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the design. The service provided by Pacific Outdoor Living was top-notch. The team was punctual, courteous, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always available to answer any questions or address any concerns I had. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them. The crew that worked on my project was highly skilled and dedicated. They worked efficiently and maintained a clean and organized worksite, which I greatly appreciated. Their craftsmanship and commitment to quality were apparent in the final product, and I am thrilled with the transformation of my outdoor space. Overall, I highly recommend Pacific Outdoor Living to anyone in need of landscaping services. Their combination of excellent design, outstanding service, and professional execution makes them a standout choice. I am delighted with my new backyard and look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Thank you, Pacific Outdoor Living, for creating a beautiful outdoor oasis!Mark Lewin2024-06-18We hired Pacific Outdoor Living in October 2020, after living in the house for about 30 years. The did a complete backyard renovation converting a relatively unusable sloped backyard with a very small patio into a 2 tiered outdoor entertaining showpiece with room to host and entertain 20+ people. We couldn't be happier with their ideas and design for the space. The design also made the relatively small backyard feel much bigger. Their designers had great ideas to make the space more functional and beautiful. They graded a much bigger patio (removing 3 dump truck loads of dirt), put in a short retaining/seat wall, paving stones, outdoor kitchen, firepit, pad for an above ground jacuzzi, drainage, irrigation, landscaping, and lighting. It was completed in about 6 weeks start to finish, on schedule, working 6 days a week. They cleaned up at the end of each day and hauled away the debris as it was created. The project manager kept us informed all along the way, and had some great "tweaks" to the plans that they did on the fly with our approval. Three years later everything still looks great, the drainage works perfectly, and the plants are thriving. They also stand behind their work. We had one light in a step fail about 2 years after completion. They sent a guy out to replace it promptly under warranty. One thing that separates POL from others is that they have all their own crews and equipment. There are no subcontractors or related delays. On my project their Bobcat broke down one Saturday morning. They sent their in-house mechanic out to fix it and had it up and running again in a few hours, allowing them to continue the grading without any delays. It is a joy to be able to entertain in the backyard, or just enjoy it ourselves. My only regret is that I didn't do the project sooner!!!!Kristen Weber2024-06-11I actually used Pacific Outdoor Living for two different backyards. They first upgraded my backyard in Studio City. They gave me a beautiful new driveway, revamped a pond I had in the yard, and generally made it feel like a backyard oasis. We sold that home quickly mostly due to the beautiful yard. When we moved into a new home in Burbank which had a backyard made mostly of damaged and dangerous concrete, I called Pacific Outdoor Living immediately. They turned that into a beautiful oasis as well with fruit trees and so much beautiful grass and flowers and plants - it was unrecognizable! Highly recommend them to anyone whose backyard needs help.Deepa Sandal2024-06-11We had our pool and BBQ station built backyard landscaped in 2022 by Pacific Outdoor living. They came highly recommended by friends of ours. We were very impressed with their attention to detail their thoroughness and professionalism. They certainly did not disappoint and therefore we are pleased to recommend them for a similar project you may be interested in for your home.Makhan Sandal2024-06-11We had our pool built in 2022, the whole process from design to build was a pleasurable experience. All the different staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend the company without any hesitation, for your dream pool.Jim Lewis2024-06-01A great job from start to finish. The design team was helpful in defining what best met our needs within the budget we had set, and the construction team was meticulous, on-time, on schedule and communicated with us at every step of the project. If I had more backyard to do, I’d call them again.Mala Kostbar2024-05-09I was the property manager and the owners couldn't be happier with the results! Pacific Outdoor started the project on our backyard and front yard upgrade in early 2022, and by August of the same year, we had a whole new outdoor space to enjoy. The transformation is seriously impressive — we've got a bigger pool, a chill hot tub, a cozy fire pit, a large bar, a cool BBQ setup, a beautiful deck, a lush of lovely flowers all around, and more! Throughout the project, Trent and his crew kept us informed every step of the way. I can't recommend them enough! See attached photos. The first two are from before and the last three are after.Janet Lazier2024-05-04We chose Pacific Outdoor Living for an extensive and multi-faceted backyard and front yard renovation. In the backyard the large pergola over the patio was removed, and a new patio cover was constructed. The cement was demolished and new pavers installed. We added lighting and ceiling fans. The pool plaster was cracking and POL arranged for the pool to be resurfaced and then recommended a pool man who could handle the acid wash and start up procedure. The putting green was in need of repair, and POL put in a new one, and recommended a contractor to replace our sport court surface. In the front yard, our brick walkway was cracked and in need of replacement. POL took care of that. The irrigation system in the back and front yards needed to be overhauled, and POL installed drip lines where needed, and replaced all sprinklers as well as the automatic timer. Additional landscape lighting was added in front and back which enhanced the property because our town has no streetlights and is very dark. We changed and added plants and trees throughout our landscape in front and back. POL helped us achieve our dream landscape, including new sod for the lawns, and then made sure we knew what to do to maintain it. POL planned the phases in our project with excellent crews specializing in each area of work, and made sure that each phase followed the one before with a minimum of delay. We are so pleased with the results - we have a backyard perfect for entertaining and family enjoyment and a front yard that is beautiful. I have the rose and flower garden that I always wanted as well as fruit trees that produce all year long. We would recommend POL for anyone needing to accomplish any or all of these phases. The planning process was helpful and thorough, and the execution was very professionally done - with a minimum of disruption and no damage to our property. The contractors were careful and skillful and extremely respectful. Start to finish, the project took about 6 months during 2020-2021 including the planning.
