Stout Design Build has planned and built backyards across Hermosa Beach since 1994. We handle small lots, hillside grading, and coastal weather every day. From The Strand to the Hill Section, we design and build backyards that fit how you actually live.
Built For Hermosa Beach's Slopes, Salt Air, And Small Lots
A pool near the coast faces different problems than one inland. Salt air corrodes equipment faster. Narrow lots limit shape and placement. Hillside terrain adds real engineering weight. We plan for all three from day one. Your pool should fit your property, not fight it.
Our Pool Construction Process
Planning, Design, And Permitting
We start with a site visit and a design built around your lot and lifestyle. Then we submit for permits and manage any city corrections.
Site Prep And Engineering
Grading, soil evaluation, and structural engineering come next, especially on sloped lots. This step protects everything built after it.
Pool Shell Construction
We form and pour the shell using steel reinforcement and gunite built for long term durability.
Plumbing, Electrical, And Equipment Installation
Circulation, heating, lighting, and automation get installed and tested to California code.
Decking, Coping, And Finishing
Surfaces, tile, and surrounding hardscape complete the space and tie it into your existing yard.
Final Inspection And Walkthrough
We test every system before we walk the finished pool with you.
Real Pools Built In Hermosa Beach
We have built pools on sloped Hill Section lots, spas integrated into small Sand Section backyards, and full outdoor retreats near Hermosa Valley. Every project reflects an actual Hermosa Beach home.
Our Pool And Spa Services
Custom Pool Design And Construction
Every pool starts with your lot, not a catalog shape. We design pools sized and placed for how you actually use your backyard.
Spa And Hot Tub Integration
A spa built into your pool design adds year round use. We integrate heating, jets, and controls so both spaces work together.
Pool Remodels And Replastering
An older pool can still perform like new. We handle replastering, resurfacing, and equipment upgrades on existing pools.
Water Features And Fire Features
Water walls, deck jets, and fire bowls add atmosphere without adding complexity. We build these into the design from the start, not as an afterthought.
Decking And Coping
The surface around your pool takes constant sun and salt exposure. We choose decking and coping materials built to handle both.
