Complete Backyard Renovation Services for Los Angeles Homeowners
Every LevelWorks backyard renovation is designed around your lifestyle and the specific conditions of your Los Angeles property: sun exposure, soil type, HOA guidelines, and LA DWP water-wise requirements. Here is what we offer:
Custom Hardscaping and Patio Design in Los Angeles
We design and install custom patios, stone pathways, raised planters, fire pit areas, and outdoor dining spaces using concrete pavers, travertine, flagstone, and porcelain tile. Our hardscaping is built to last in the Los Angeles climate: heat-resistant, durable, and designed to complement your home's architecture.
Artificial Turf Installation and Drought-Tolerant Landscaping
With Los Angeles water restrictions and a warm climate year-round, artificial turf installation is one of our most popular backyard upgrades. We use premium, pet-safe turf products that look and feel natural without any watering, mowing, or maintenance. We also design drought-tolerant planting beds that meet LA DWP water-wise guidelines.
Custom Pergolas, Shade Structures, and Outdoor Lighting
We build freestanding and attached pergolas, lattice shade structures, and solid patio covers that make your backyard usable year-round. Every backyard renovation includes integrated LED lighting design with string lights, step lights, uplighting, and pathway lighting so your outdoor space looks and functions beautifully day and night.
