Burbank Pool Builders designs and builds custom gunite pools in Sherman Oaks, CA, from the flat valley-floor lots south of the boulevard to the homes that climb into the hills above it. Sherman Oaks gives us both ends of our work in one neighborhood, and on the hillside lots in particular the engineering has to lead. One crew owns the project from the soils read to the final inspection.
Building a pool in Sherman Oaks means matching the approach to the lot. A flat valley parcel and a steep hillside lot are very different structural problems, and we read each one on its own terms, plan the access and the retaining accordingly, and shape a gunite shell to fit. The result is a pool that suits the home, the grade, and the way you live outdoors.
Pools matched to the Sherman Oaks lot
Homes in Sherman Oaks range from flat valley-floor yards to steep hillside lots, and the best pool is the one engineered for the specific ground it sits on. We start with a real read of the grade, the soil, the access for excavation and the gunite rig, the setbacks, and any view worth framing. On the hillside lots that read drives nearly every decision that follows.
We design for how you will actually use the pool, whether that means a family layout with a shallow shelf, a lap-friendly shape on a flat lot, or a spa and pool terraced down a grade above the boulevard. The depth, the steps, the benches, and the features all get planned with you before we break ground.
Because we engineer and build what we draw, the plan we hand you is one we know we can build on your Sherman Oaks lot, flat or sloped, without expensive surprises midway through.
How a Sherman Oaks build goes
A pool build in Sherman Oaks follows the sequence the lot calls for. It opens with a design consult, a walk of the yard, and a soils read where the grade warrants one, then a structural plan and a written price. Once you approve the design, we pull the permits, finalize the engineering, and stage the access for the dig.
From there the build moves through excavation, any retaining the grade needs, steel, plumbing, and the gunite shell, then the tile, coping, plaster, and deck. One crew owning the whole sequence keeps the project moving steadily rather than stalling between separate trades, which matters most on the hillside lots.
We finish with the equipment startup, a water balance, the final inspection, and a walk-through that shows you how to run and care for your new pool. Throughout, we keep you posted on progress.
A nearby crew you can count on
Burbank Pool Builders is a licensed, bonded, and insured design-build pool company, and Sherman Oaks is part of our regular east-valley work. You deal with the crew that actually engineers and builds the pool, not a broker passing your job along. We are still here for the warranty, the service, and the next project.
We put the plan and the price in writing up front, handle the soils work, engineering, and permits, and build every phase to last. Most of our work comes from neighbors who recommend us to neighbors, which is exactly the business we set out to build.
