OUTDOOR LIVING
Create an outdoor living space designed with intention, built for connection, relaxation, and the way you want to enjoy your home year-round.
OUTDOOR LIVING IN LOS ANGELES
A space built with intention. A process built around you.
Outdoor spaces are where life slows down where mornings begin in quiet light, where evenings stretch out around a fire, and where friends and family gather naturally. At Heart Construction, outdoor living is personal. It starts with understanding how you relax, how you host, and how you experience your home every day. Our goal is to create an outdoor space that feels effortless, functional, and deeply connected to the way you live.
For over 25 years, we’ve been building outdoor spaces throughout Los Angeles including Hollywood Hills, Hancock Park, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Venice, Woodland Hills, Westlake Village, Culver City, and surrounding areas. We listen first, plan clearly, communicate openly, and build with intention so your outdoor environment becomes a natural extension of your home.
THE HEART CONSTRUCTION OUTDOOR LIVING PROCESS
A detailed, transparent roadmap from dream to reality.
Below is our full process, broken down clearly so you always know what happens long before it happens.
1
We begin by understanding your lifestyle whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a space to entertain, an outdoor kitchen for everyday use, or a full resort-style experience. Your needs guide the entire design.
Understanding How You Live
We outline the layout, materials, engineering requirements, drainage, utilities, lighting, and long-term functionality. This clarity ensures a smooth and predictable construction phase.

Just like in our custom home projects, ADUs,
full home remodels,
kitchen remodels and
bathroom remodels,
payments follow clear milestones so you pay only as work is completed.
If you request any changes during construction, we review their impact immediately so you stay fully in control.

Permits (If Required)
Pools, structures, gas lines, electrical work, and major hardscaping often require permits. We handle all drawings, approvals, and submittals for you.

We manage every phase of the build, including:
• grading and excavation
• pool construction
• masonry and concrete
• patio and deck installation
• outdoor kitchen construction
• plumbing and electrical
• lighting and finishing details
You’ll always know the project phase, what’s coming next, and how it affects daily use of your home. For larger transformations, we help plan how you’ll live around the construction with minimal disruption.
