Backyard Remodels in Palo Alto — What We Do
We design and build complete backyards as integrated outdoor living rooms — combining hardscape, pool, structures, kitchens, fire features, and planting into a single coordinated build.
Palo Alto homeowners have hired us for backyard remodels projects across the city. As a fully licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1008964) with 11 years of Bay Area experience, we know exactly what Palo Alto permitting, construction conditions, and homeowner expectations look like.
Palo Alto Permits & Process
Palo Alto's planning department has detailed local standards on top of state-mandated ADU rules — including heritage tree protection, stormwater detention thresholds, and fire-department review when the new structure is beyond a certain distance from the main house. Plan check typically runs 4–8 weeks for a complete submittal.
