Why Pacific Outdoor Living
Northridge landscapes deserve more than generic improvement. They need a plan that respects the site, mature nature, biodiversity, and the practical realities of construction.
Northridge projects run through City of Los Angeles Building and Safety. Many properties here updated foundations, walls, or hardscape after the 1994 earthquake, and older repairs sometimes show their age in a cracked slab or drainage that no longer works the way it was designed to. We evaluate what is already there before building on top of it, and our permitting department handles the rest.
We source through long-standing supplier relationships and pass our wholesale material discounts through to you instead of treating them as an upsell. You can visit our showroom to compare pavers, stone, and tile in person before final selections are made.
Northridge sits just a short drive from our Sun Valley office and yard, which means crews, equipment, and materials reach your job site quickly, and a project manager can be on-site the same day if something needs a look.
Bring your outdoor vision to life sooner with flexible monthly payment options designed around your budget. We partner with Wells Fargo Bank and Lyon Financial so quality design and build does not have to arrive with financial stress.
Designing for Northridge
Northridge is one of the largest established single-family markets in the San Fernando Valley, built out primarily in the postwar decades and anchored by Cal State Northridge. The lots are flatter and more uniform than the hillside communities nearby, which makes them some of the more straightforward properties in the Valley to plan a full backyard remodel around.
It also happens to sit a few minutes from our Sun Valley yard and showroom, which is a real advantage on a Northridge job: shorter drive times for crews and equipment, and a project manager who can be on-site the same day if something comes up.
A lot of the housing stock here dates to the 1950s through 1970s, so aging concrete, settled patios, and drainage that no longer performs the way it did when it was poured are common starting points rather than exceptions.
Designing for Northridge
Most Northridge properties are flatter, established, postwar-era lots, which makes the real design questions about what is already in the ground rather than terrain or hillside access.
Aging concrete, settled slabs, and drainage that no longer performs are common on properties this age, and some repairs date back to work done after the 1994 earthquake. We evaluate the existing hardscape and grading before deciding what gets reused and what gets rebuilt.
Without the grading and hillside review that shape projects in nearby communities, a flatter Northridge lot gives a design more room to work with. The tradeoff is intention: level changes, planting masses, and distinct zones still need to be designed in, or a flat yard reads as one undifferentiated space.
Many Northridge yards carry a large shade tree and established hedges that have been there for decades. We design the new hardscape and planting around what is already healthy and worth keeping, rather than clearing the lot to start over.
Northridge sees the same summer heat as the rest of the San Fernando Valley floor. Drought-tolerant planting on drip irrigation holds up through it while still reading as a designed, full garden rather than a gravel yard.

Local FAQs
Yes, and Northridge is one of the closest communities to our Sun Valley yard and showroom, which usually means faster scheduling and quicker response during construction. Use the address checker on this page to confirm coverage for your exact property.
Yes, and we usually recommend it. On properties this age we evaluate the existing slab, grading, and drainage before designing on top of it, since a new patio built over an unresolved drainage problem just inherits the same issue.
Possibly. Coast live oak and several other native species are protected citywide in Los Angeles, so if a mature oak is on the property we map its root zone during design and plan hardscape and pool placement around it.
Cost depends on scope: a pool and patio project is a different investment than a full remodel with a kitchen, structures, lighting, and planting. A consultation and Site Analysis are the fastest way to get numbers specific to your property. Learn About Financing Options
