Pool Contractor Built for Glendale

A Glendale pool almost never goes onto flat ground. Retaining, grading, and equipment access have to be worked out first on the sloped lots common in Rossmoyne, Verdugo Woodlands, Adams Hill, and the surrounding canyons, before the pool itself gets designed.

We design and build the pool alongside the hardscape, planting, and lighting around it as one project, with our own in-house crews handling excavation through final plaster, so the retaining, drainage, and finish grade all get resolved together instead of handed off between separate contractors.

What Your Glendale Pools & Spas Project Includes

A rectangular pool beside a lawn with stepping stones and mature shade trees

A family-friendly backyard

Room to swim and room around the water: a shallow entry, shade to sit in, and turf that stands up to being used every day.

A freeform lagoon pool with a natural rock waterfall lit at dusk

A resort-style retreat

A raised spa, moving water and planting layered in close, so the pool is the centerpiece and the yard is built to match it.

A remodeled pool at sunset with new decking, lounge seating and a fire feature

A pool remodel

New tile, coping and plaster change the pool. Rebuilding the deck, planting and lighting around it changes the whole yard.

Designing for Glendale

Glendale sits on the alluvial fan below the Verdugo Mountains, so a pool project here has to answer slope, storm runoff and fire hazard zone requirements before the pool itself gets designed.

Siting a Pool on the Slope

Most Glendale backyards are not flat. Retaining, grading and equipment access have to be worked out before excavation starts, on lots in Rossmoyne, Verdugo Woodlands, Adams Hill and the surrounding canyons especially.

Proper drainage and storm water management system

Storm Water From Above

Glendale sits on the alluvial fan below the Verdugo Mountains, so a hillside yard collects runoff from everything above it, not just its own roof. We plan area drains and finish grading around the new pool deck before it goes in.

Fire-Wise Planting at the Pool’s Edge

A large share of Glendale sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone with annual brush clearance inspections. We keep low, irrigated planting in the near zone around the pool and patio, and reserve taller mass for the outer edges of the property.

“The yard had flooding, an aging pool finish, old irrigation, and an unusable layout-a list of problems we felt overwhelmed by. Pacific Outdoor Living helped turn those problems into a complete new design that transformed our space. The new layout is beautiful, functional, and finally usable year-round.”

Pool Contractor in Glendale, Answered

Design generally runs two to five weeks depending on the project and how many revisions it goes through. Construction varies with scope: small jobs can be a week, and large projects can run three to six months.

Yes. We have our own in-house permitting department and typically pull all permits needed for the job, so you don't have to work out the requirements yourself.

Yes. Several of the projects in our portfolio kept the existing pool shell and rebuilt it with new tile, coping and plaster, along with the deck and planting around it.

Yes, and most Glendale lots are sloped to some degree. Retaining, grading and equipment access get worked out during the Site Analysis, before excavation begins, so the pool sits correctly on the finished grade rather than fighting it.

Start With Your Glendale Site Analysis

A pools & spas project in Glendale starts with real measurements: the grading, the drainage, the sun, and anything already on the property worth keeping. That is what the Site Analysis is for, before anything is designed. Designed Right, Built Right, on time and on budget.

No pressure. Just expert guidance from a local design-build team.
