Modern California backyard with resort-style pool and outdoor living room

Southern California's year-round outdoor weather makes our backyards true extensions of our homes. Here's what we're seeing in the most exciting projects this year.

Resort-Style Pools

Baja shelves, sun ledges, and integrated spas create the resort experience at home. We're seeing more requests for beach entries and vanishing edges than ever before.

True Outdoor Rooms

Covered patios with full amenities - outdoor kitchens, TVs, fireplaces, and comfortable seating - are replacing simple patio furniture setups.
