Serving Los Angeles

Outdoor Living Company Serving the City of Los Angeles

From the San Fernando Valley to the hills above Hollywood and the neighborhoods east of downtown, GaziBoys designs and builds pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens and backyard spaces for homeowners across the City of Los Angeles.

Living in Los Angeles

One city, many kinds of backyards.

The City of Los Angeles stretches across flat Valley neighborhoods, steep hillside streets, historic districts and dense urban lots. A backyard in Sherman Oaks, a hillside home in Silver Lake and a bungalow in Highland Park each present different possibilities and constraints.

That variety is why we start every project with the site: slope, access, sun, neighbors, existing structures and how you want to live outside. From there we recommend the structure, materials and layout that make sense, whether that’s a custom pergola, a patio cover or a full backyard renovation.

Local considerations

Planning an outdoor project in Los Angeles.

01

Hillside rules

Hillside areas of the city are subject to additional zoning rules that can affect structures and grading.

02

Historic overlays

Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZs) may require review of exterior changes.

03

Compact lots

Smaller urban lots benefit from multi-purpose designs and careful setbacks.

04

ADUs and shared yards

Many properties now include ADUs, so outdoor space must work for more than one household.

Permits & jurisdiction

Addresses within the City of Los Angeles are served by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), with zoning, hillside and historic overlay rules set by the City of Los Angeles. Some communities with Los Angeles mailing addresses are actually separate cities or unincorporated county areas, so we’ll confirm the jurisdiction for your property.

Requirements change and depend on your specific project. Always confirm with the building department before construction.
