Stout Design Build has designed and built custom pools and spas across El Segundo since 1994. We work with this city’s flatter lots and mid-century homes to create pools that fit the space you already have. From Main Street to the residential grid west of Sepulveda, we build pools suited to how El Segundo families actually live.
What Makes El Segundo Pool Projects Different
El Segundo does not have the hillside terrain you find in nearby coastal cities. Most lots here sit flat, on a clean grid layout, often behind mid-century homes built decades ago. That changes what a pool project actually needs.Instead of slope engineering, the real work is fitting a pool into an established yard without crowding it. Older homes often have mature trees, existing patios, or aging concrete that need to be worked around, not just removed.
Designing Pools For El Segundo's Mid-Century Homes
Many homes here were built with smaller backyards than newer construction. We design pools that respect the existing home’s footprint and layout instead of forcing a design that does not fit.Older homes may also have existing block walls, mature landscaping, or concrete patios worth preserving. We work these into the plan where it makes sense.
Our Pool And Spa Services
Custom Pool Design And Construction
We design pools sized for your actual yard, not a standard shape pulled from a catalog. Flat lots give us more flexibility on shape and placement.
Spa And Hot Tub Integration
A built in spa adds year round use to your pool. We integrate heating and controls so both spaces operate as one system.
Pool Remodels And Replastering
Many El Segundo homes have pools installed decades ago. We update these with replastering, resurfacing, and modern equipment.
Water Features And Fire Features
Water walls, bubblers, and fire bowls add character without adding complexity. We plan these into the design from the start.
Decking And Coping
El Segundo sits close to the coast, so decking and coping still need materials that resist salt air and daily sun exposure.
How Do You Handle Salt Air This Close To The Coast?
El Segundo sits near enough to the ocean that salt air still affects pool equipment and finishes. We use corrosion resistant hardware, sealed decking, and UV stable finishes on every build here
Our Pool Construction Process
Planning And Design
We start with a site visit and design the pool around your actual yard, home, and lifestyle.
Permitting
We submit for permits with the City of El Segundo and manage any required corrections.
Excavation And Shell Construction
We excavate and form the pool shell using steel reinforcement and gunite built for long term durability.
Plumbing, Electrical, And Equipment
Circulation, heating, lighting, and automation are installed and tested to California code.
Decking And Finishing
Surfaces, tile, and coping complete the space and tie into your existing yard.
