As a general contractor in Venice, CA, we completed a full-scale backyard transformation that blended structural upgrades, utility modernization, and custom outdoor living design. The project began with the demolition of an aging retaining wall, followed by precision excavation and grading to prepare for a new, reinforced retaining wall built for lasting strength. Throughout the process, our team coordinated with city inspectors and deputy inspections to ensure every phase met Los Angeles building codes and industry standards.

​

In addition to the structural work, we upgraded essential utilities to bring the property in line with modern performance and safety requirements. This included installing a new power service, rerunning plumbing lines, upgrading the gas line, and adding a high-efficiency tankless water heater. These improvements not only enhanced functionality but also increased the long-term value of the property.

​

One of the most striking transformations was the garage conversion. After a full structural retrofit, the existing garage was reimagined as a welcoming patio sitting area—seamlessly connecting the home to the upgraded backyard. This new outdoor living space was designed for comfort, durability, and year-round use.

​

We added a composite deck for low-maintenance durability, finished with fresh stucco, paint, and epoxy flooring for a clean, modern look. Security and privacy were improved with a custom 19-foot metal gate and new wall construction, while a new fence framed the property beautifully.

​

Landscaping played a key role in the final design. The backyard now features lush turf with a mature palm centerpiece, creating a vibrant, low-maintenance green space. Combined with sleek hardscaping, the area is perfect for relaxing with family or entertaining guests.

​

From the first day of demolition to the final inspection, every step was handled with precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. As a Los Angeles general contractor with expertise in retaining wall construction, garage conversions, and outdoor living renovations, we ensured this project not only met but exceeded the homeowner’s expectations.

The result is a Venice backyard that’s as functional as it is beautiful—featuring modernized utilities, enhanced structural integrity, and a thoughtfully designed outdoor space. Whether it’s hosting a gathering, enjoying a quiet evening, or simply appreciating the view, this backyard is built to be enjoyed for decades.
