We widened the driveway, added a new walkway, installed fresh landscaping, and rebuilt the planter borders at the same time. The sections work much better with the front of the home, and parking is far more convenient than before. Everything lines up cleanly, right down to the transitions between the driveway, walkway, and landscape areas. **★★★★★ — HU-291782133, Aug. 2026** > Our home sits above a valley, so we wanted an infinity pool that made the view part of the backyard. Their crew spent time working through the layout before construction began, making sure the pool lined up with the patio, the outdoor living area, and the view from inside the home. > > Building the pool required excavation, retaining walls, reinforced concrete, waterproofing, plumbing, drainage, and the overflow system before the finish materials were installed. Every stage followed the one before it, and we always knew what was scheduled next. > > Friends usually walk straight to the edge the first time they visit. The view has always been there, but the pool gives us a completely different way to enjoy it every day. **★★★★★ — HU-89510485, Aug. 2026** > We wanted to turn our backyard into a space that worked for everyday use as well as family get-togethers, so we planned everything as one project instead of tackling it in stages. The scope included a large paver patio, a patio cover attached to the home, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, landscape lighting, and new planting beds around the perimeter. > Magnolia Outdoors coordinated every part of the construction, including the permits for the patio cover, so everything stayed on schedule. The pavers extend naturally from the back of the home to the BBQ area, and every feature fits where it belongs. > Looking across the backyard, it’s obvious the entire project was designed as one complete outdoor living area. **★★★★★ — HU-930840107, July 2026** > The original pool came with the home, and honestly looked like it hadn’t been updated in decades. The tile was old, the coping was worn out, and the shallow end wasn’t very useful. We decided on a full pool remodel rather than continuing to make small repairs every year. Once demolition started, several old plumbing lines were found to be in poor condition, so those were replaced before the new finishes went in. We also expanded part of the deck and added a Baja shelf that gets used far more than we expected. One thing I appreciated was that nobody rushed decisions. We had time to compare materials and make changes before work moved forward. The backyard finally looks better without losing the character of the original pool. **★★★★★ — HU-261806325, July 2026** > We spent years staring at a huge patch of grass that nobody used. Eventually, we decided to stop talking about it and move forward with a new pool construction project. Settling on the right layout between the kids and us took longer than expected because we wanted room for both swimming and entertaining without sacrificing the entire backyard. > > Magnolia Outdoors had several design options, and we ended up with an in-ground pool, a separate spa, and enough patio space for family gatherings. Looking back, the planning stage probably mattered more than anything else. The pool's layout fits the property naturally and doesn’t look like an afterthought. **★★★★★ — HU-505890015, July 2026** > The backyard was designed around a paver patio with a dedicated fire pit area and surrounding seating. The layout keeps the fire pit as a central feature while allowing enough room for movement and additional seating. The pavers extend across the entire patio and connect to a walkway along the side of the yard. The fire pit fits comfortably within the space without overwhelming the layout. It’s a setup that works well year-round and gives the yard a clear purpose. **★★★★★ — Fletcher Boone, June 2026** > We had a clear vision for our in-ground pool from the start. We wanted a backyard that felt open and inviting, with plenty of room to relax and entertain without feeling crowded. The final design came together perfectly, with a tanning ledge, a spacious spa, and enough deck space. > > The entire project was well organized from start to finish. Scheduling stayed on track, the crews worked efficiently, and there was always visible progress. Now the pool blends beautifully with the property and has completely transformed how we spend weekends and family time outside. **★★★★★ — Alora Hastings, May 2026** > We decided on a stamped concrete patio with a built-in BBQ island to create a durable and low-maintenance outdoor space. The stamped finish gives the look of natural stone while keeping the surface smooth and practical. > The BBQ island was built as part of the main patio layout, making it easy to use without disrupting the space's flow. There’s enough room for seating nearby, so everything stays connected. > It’s a straightforward setup that covers everything we wanted in one place. **★★★★★ — Caleb Drummond, May 2026** > The view from our property was the main reason we chose an infinity pool design. The backyard sits on a hillside, so extensive grading, retaining walls, and soil stabilization had to be completed before excavation for the pool could begin. > > Watching the structural phase come together was honestly impressive. Steel reinforcement covered almost the entire excavation area before the shell was formed, and a lot of detail went into leveling the infinity edge correctly. The construction also included a raised spa, porcelain decking, custom lighting, and upgraded drainage systems throughout the property. > > One thing we appreciated throughout the process was that inspections and scheduling never became chaotic. Every stage moved in sequence without long periods where work stopped unexpectedly. The final pool completely changed the backyard's atmosphere at night once the edge lighting and water features were running. ## Selected projects - [North Hollywood Residential Pool Construction with Integrated Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-hollywood-residential-pool-construction-with-integrated-spa-pj-vj~7854796) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 12 - Description: What was once an ordinary backyard is now the centerpiece of this luxury residential pool construction in North Hollywood.
