Los Angeles, CA Inground Pool Builders & Renovation

Burbank Pool Builders engineers and builds custom gunite inground pools for homes across the east San Fernando Valley and the hillside-adjacent neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We specialize in the lots other builders shy away from: sloped backyards, split-grade yards, and tight valley parcels where the engineering has to come first.

Half the pools we build start on ground that is not flat. The east valley and the hills that frame it are full of yards that drop away at the back, step down in tiers, or sit on fill that has to be understood before a shovel touches it. On a lot like that, the difference between a pool that holds for thirty years and one that telegraphs cracks in its first decade is decided on paper, in the structural plan, long before anyone mixes a batch of gunite. That is the work we built this company around.

Burbank Pool Builders is an engineering-led design and construction outfit. We start by reading the site: how the grade falls, where the soil is competent and where it is suspect, how an excavator and a gunite rig can even reach the back of the property, and how a retaining strategy ties the pool into the slope instead of fighting it. Only once the structure is solved do we move on to the look of the pool, because a beautiful rendering means nothing if the shell underneath it is not engineered for the ground it sits in.

We work in gunite for a reason: it lets us shape a shell to the exact contour of a difficult lot, cantilever a deck over a drop, or tuck a vanishing edge against a downslope view. We put the structural plan, the retaining approach, and a firm written price in front of you before any commitment, and most of the homes we build come from a neighbor down the street who watched us do it right next door.

Why It Pays to Call Us in Los Angeles

The Details Done Right

We do not cut the corners that lead to cracks and re-plasters down the road. The tile, coping, and decking are chosen to look right and last.

One Point Of Contact

You make one call and the entire build is our responsibility. From the first sketch to the first swim, it is one accountable crew.

A Pool That Suits You

You get 3D renderings and a real plan before a shovel hits the ground. No two yards are alike, so no two of our pools are either.

The Steps We Follow on a Los Angeles Pool Project

1

We Begin With A Look

Nothing gets designed until we have walked the yard ourselves. The consult is where the whole project starts, at your home, not on the phone.

2

The Figure, Spelled Out

We put the whole design and price in writing up front, no games. We turn the plan into 3D renderings and a written scope, every phase and the cost spelled out.

3

Approvals, Then We Dig

We manage every approval with the city, then dig and shape the pool. We coordinate the soils report, the structural engineering, and the city sign-offs.

4

Done By The Book

The parts you cannot see, the shell and the plumbing, get as much care as the tile. Our crew builds each phase to standard so the pool holds up for decades.

About Burbank Pool Builders

Burbank Pool Builders is a Los Angeles design and construction company focused on custom gunite pools in the east San Fernando Valley and the hillside-adjacent neighborhoods around it. We design, engineer, permit, and build new inground pools, and we handle renovations, remodels, resurfacing, decking, and equipment with the same crew that pours the shell. One team owns the project from the first soil read to the final inspection.

Our specialty is the structurally demanding lot. Sloped yards, split-level backyards, downhill drops, and tight valley access all change what a pool can be, and they all have to be solved in steel and concrete, not papered over with optimism. We engineer the shell, the retaining, and the deck as one structural system so the finished pool sits in the slope securely and stays that way through years of seasonal soil movement.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured. We pull the permits, coordinate the soils work and structural engineering, and put the plan and the price in writing before we start. When you call 424-421-3775, you reach the people who will actually engineer and build your pool, not a call center routing your address to whoever bids it cheapest.

Why the slope has to be solved first

A flat backyard forgives a lot of shortcuts. A sloped one forgives none. When a pool sits on or against a grade, the shell is no longer just holding water; it is interacting with the soil pressure pushing on it from the high side and the lack of support on the low side. Get that relationship wrong and the pool moves, and a pool that moves cracks. So on every hillside-adjacent project we start with the structural question and let the design follow from the answer.

That means a real soils read, a structural engineer sizing the shell and any retaining for the actual loads, and a build sequence that respects the order the slope demands. Sometimes the right answer is a raised bond beam and a cantilevered deck; sometimes it is a retaining wall tied into the pool structure; sometimes it is repositioning the pool entirely to sit on more competent ground. We figure that out before we quote, not halfway through the dig.

Builders who treat every yard like a flat lot are the reason hillside pools get a bad reputation. Designed and engineered correctly for the grade, a pool on a slope is no riskier than one on flat ground, and the view you get from a pool perched on a downhill lot is something a flat backyard can never offer.

Gunite, because the lot demands it

We build in gunite and shotcrete because nothing else gives us the freedom to match a shell to a difficult site. A sprayed concrete shell can take any shape, any depth profile, and any edge condition we need to work with a slope, a tight side yard, or a view we want to capture. A pre-molded shell cannot bend to those constraints, and on the lots we specialize in, the constraints win.

Gunite also lets the pool become part of the structural solution. A raised wall on the downhill side, a beam that doubles as retaining, a spa cantilevered off the main shell: these are things you build, not things you drop in. We shape the steel and shoot the shell to the engineered plan so the pool and the slope work together as one system.

The finishes you live with, the plaster or pebble interior, the tile, the coping, all come after the structure is sound. We choose them with you to suit the design and the way the valley sun hits the yard, but never before the shell that carries them is engineered and built to hold.

Our Los Angeles crew designs and builds the whole pool: building a new pool for a brand-new custom inground pool, pool renovation to bring an aging pool back to life, pool remodels to reshape and modernize what you have, pool resurfacing for a fresh plaster or pebble finish, building the deck for the decking and hardscape around it, and heater and salt systems for energy-efficient pumps, heaters, and automation.

Beyond Los Angeles itself, we cover the surrounding area, including Studio City, CA, pool construction in Sherman Oaks, pool construction in North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, CA. If you searched for a local pool crew near you, you are in the right place, a local crew who answers.

Why We Build Gunite Pools for Difficult Valley Lots

Gunite is more expensive and slower than a pre-molded shell, so why do we use it almost exclusively? Because on a sloped, tight, or unusually shaped valley lot, it is the only material that can build the pool the site needs.

Key Pool Build Questions

How do you build a pool deck?

The honest answer is that most of a pool deck is professional work involving permits, engineering, and heavy equipment. Getting the plumbing, the steel, or the finish wrong is exactly where do-it-yourself pools fail. If you want it done once and done right, a pool is worth a builder who does it every day. Reach 424-421-3775 for a Los Angeles consultation.

How much does it cost to remodel a pool?

Pricing a pool remodel honestly means pricing it from the real design and site, not a flat menu. The bigger cost drivers are the size, the pool type, the finishes, the decking, and the site access. We design and assess the site first, then put an itemized written proposal in front of you before anything starts. Phone 424-421-3775 and a real person will set up a consultation.

Can you put a pool on a deck?

This is a fair question, and the real answer is a plain "it depends," for good reasons. We would rather tell you what is genuinely true for your pool than push you toward the bigger job. We will give you the honest recommendation, whatever it is, and if a smaller job will do we will say so. Call 424-421-3775 and a real person will help.

How much does fiberglass pool cost?

What a fiberglass pool costs comes down to your specific project and site, not a one-size rate. Features like heating, lighting, water features, and premium decking add up quickly. We design and assess the site first, then put an itemized written proposal in front of you before anything starts. Phone 424-421-3775 and a real person will set up a consultation.
