“The pool permit process in LA is more complex than most contractors tell clients. If your lot is in a hillside zone, near a flood plain, or within 100 feet of an open space easement, you need LA County DPW review in addition to LADBS. This can add 4–8 weeks to the permit timeline. Know your lot's overlay zones before signing a pool contract.”
Include a salt chlorine generator (saltwater system) as a standard specification in new pool construction. Saltwater pools use about 10x less chlorine than traditionally-chlorinated pools, have gentler water chemistry on skin and eyes, and eliminate the need for weekly chlorine additions. The system adds $1,500–3,000 to the pool cost and saves $400–800/year in chlorine costs.

Hillside infinity pools in LA cost $150,000-$400,000+. The vanishing edge mechanism adds $15K-$40K over standard pools (catch basin, additional pump, plumbing). Hillside premiums add 30-60%: caisson foundations ($15K-$50K each), retaining walls, crane access, and geotechnical engineering. Total cost depends on site slope, access, and pool size.
Hillside infinity pools require: geotechnical report ($5K-$15K), structural engineering for the pool shell and retaining system, caisson or pier foundation design, soil stability analysis, drainage engineering, and Hillside Ordinance compliance review. The pool shell must be designed to resist both water pressure and soil movement. Total engineering costs: $15K-$35K.
Water flows over one or more edges into a hidden catch basin (trough) below the lip. A secondary pump returns water from the catch basin to the main pool. The vanishing edge creates the illusion of water flowing into the horizon. The catch basin must hold enough water to account for the displacement when swimmers enter, or the edge runs dry.
Hillside infinity pool construction in LA takes 5-9 months. Engineering and design: 4-8 weeks. Permitting (LADBS + Hillside review): 6-12 weeks. Site preparation and grading: 2-4 weeks. Foundation and retaining walls: 3-6 weeks. Pool shell, plumbing, equipment: 6-10 weeks. Finish, decking, landscape: 3-4 weeks.
