Beyond the Pool

Outdoor Living Spaces in Orange County

The pool is the centerpiece; outdoor living is everything around it. We design and build outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and shade structures, retaining walls, and hardscape decking as one coordinated package — so your entire backyard finishes on one timeline with one crew, not a parade of subcontractors.

Design the Whole Yard, Not Just the Pool

The most common outdoor living mistake is building the pool first and fitting everything else around the leftovers. We design pool, spa, kitchen, fire, shade, and hardscape as one plan — so the BBQ isn't stuck on the wrong side of the yard and the fire pit isn't fighting the prevailing breeze for seating.

Fire, Kitchen & Shade Elements

Outdoor kitchens & built-in BBQs — counters, refrigeration, and seating backed by real utility planning
Fire pits, bowls & fireplaces — gas-fed, permit-integrated, and placed for actual seating
Pergolas & shade structures — engineered posts, not store-bought kits
Retaining & site walls — built to grade the yard and double as seating

Why One Crew Beats a Parade of Subcontractors

When three contractors build one backyard, the hardscape doesn't meet the pool coping, the kitchen's gas line shows up late, and nobody owns the timeline. Coastline builds the whole package under one permit sequence and one schedule — so pool, spa, fire feature, and kitchen finish on one timeline with no finger-pointing.

On scheduling: outdoor living built alongside a new pool finishes inside the pool's 8–12 week arc — kitchen and fire elements set while the shell cures, so the whole yard completes together. A backyard transformation around an existing pool typically runs 4–8 weeks depending on hardscape and utility work.

“We sold our home and moved to a new house with no pool. I called Ryan out to get a quote for a full backyard renovation. Ryan was really good with designing us something within our budget. Their crews are very professional and do such great work! It was a no brainer we had to hire Coastline again!”

Typically $25,000–$60,000 depending on appliances, counter length, refrigeration and the utilities that have to be run to it.
