Southern California · Premium Design-Build · CSLB #1129007
We design and build high-end outdoor living environments for homeowners who value quality over shortcuts. No generic layouts. No compromises. Just intentional work, built to reflect how you actually live.
The Arrieta Standard
Most contractors show up with a price. We show up with a plan. Every project begins with a full site consultation and ends with a 3D rendering of your finished space — so you see exactly what you're getting before a single shovel hits the ground.
We take on a limited number of projects each season. That's not a sales tactic — it's how we protect the quality of every build. When you work with Arrieta, you get our full attention.
Our clients don't shop on price. They shop on trust, track record, and the belief that their investment will be executed at the highest level.

What We Build
Every project is custom. There are no packages, no templates, no shortcuts. If we're building it, it's being built the right way.
Every project starts with a full consultation and ends with a 3D rendering. You see the finished space before we break ground.
Custom gunite pools, raised spas, baja shelves, premium Pentair automation. Designed for performance and built to last.
Custom island builds, patio covers, built-in BBQ, gas and electrical connections. Your kitchen, taken outside.
Driveways, patios, decorative finishes, pavers, and engineered retaining walls. Structural and beautiful.
Modern fire pits, gas features, seating walls. Spaces designed for gathering, built to be the centerpiece of your yard.
Premium artificial turf, low-voltage lighting systems, and drainage solutions that protect the entire investment.
Engineered retaining walls built for grade changes, erosion control, and structural integrity.
Photo-realistic 3D visualizations of your project before construction begins. No surprises. Just clarity.
How It Works
In-person site walkthrough. We listen, assess, and ask the right questions before any design begins.
Full 3D rendering of your project. You approve the vision before a single shovel hits the ground.
City permits, HOA approvals, and engineering when required. We handle it, you don't chase it.
Execution at the highest level. Every phase managed with precision, every detail accounted for.
We walk the finished project with you personally. Nothing is complete until you're fully satisfied.
Client Experiences
“The work was exceptional and every detail was handled with care and precision. The team was responsive, professional, and kind throughout the entire process. You can tell they take real pride in what they do.”

Schedule a ConsultationThe Standard Behind the Work
We’re Arrieta Outdoor Living — a family-owned design-build company based in Southern California. And we’ll tell you upfront: we’re not the right fit for everyone — and that’s intentional.
We started in this industry doing small jobs — sod installs, basic concrete, residential maintenance. Over time, we built something different. A design-build company that treats every project as an architectural challenge, not a contract to close.
Every client we work with gets a 3D rendering before construction begins. Every estimate we send is structured, detailed, and written to educate — not to overwhelm. Every project is managed with our full team on-site from day one to final walkthrough.
Our clients range from homeowners ready to invest $150,000 in a complete backyard transformation to those looking to add a focused element. The budget varies. The standard doesn’t.
We hold a CSLB contractor’s license (#1129007). We carry full insurance. We pull permits. We do things the right way, even when it’s harder — because it protects you and the integrity of the work.
If you want the cheapest bid, we’re not your contractor. If you want a space that reflects the way you live, built by a team that takes that seriously — let’s talk.
We give you a number and we stand behind it. Our estimates are detailed by design — no surprises, no excuses.
Every surface, every joint, every finish reflects a standard we’ve built our reputation on. Our foreman is on-site every day.
The 3D design is the promise. The build is the proof. Our job isn’t done until the space matches the rendering you approved.
Work With Us
We take a limited number of projects each season so every client gets our full focus.
Start Your ProjectHow a Project Gets Built
Most contractors skip the process and go straight to a number. We do the opposite. Every project follows a structured five-step process — because the quality of the build starts long before construction begins.
Where It Begins
Every project begins with an in-person walkthrough of your property. We want to understand the space — the grade, the exposure, the existing structures — and we want to understand how you live.
We’re not rushing to close a deal. We’re gathering everything we need to design something that actually works for you. This visit is complimentary.
Seeing the Vision
Before a single shovel hits the ground, we build your project in 3D. You see the pool. You see the outdoor kitchen. You see the materials, the layout, the lighting.
The 3D design phase is a retainer service that credits toward your build. It eliminates surprises and ensures that what we build is exactly what you envisioned.
Doing It Right
If your project requires a city permit, HOA approval, or structural engineering — we handle it. We pull permits on every project that needs them. Some contractors skip this. We don’t.
Permit timelines vary by city and project scope. We communicate clearly about what to expect and manage the process so you don’t have to.
Where the Work Happens
This is where the 3D rendering becomes reality. Our foreman manages the job site every day — the same standard, the same attention to detail, from groundbreak to completion.
Every phase of the build is sequenced correctly. We don’t rush phases to hit a deadline at the cost of quality. You receive regular updates throughout construction.
The Final Standard
When the build is complete, we walk every inch of the project with you personally. We review everything against the original 3D design.
Nothing is signed off until you’re fully satisfied. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project we put our name on. After the walkthrough, we remain available.

Start the ConversationWhat We Offer
We don’t offer packages. Every project is scoped individually. The work always begins with a consultation, and it’s always guided by the same principle: do it right or don’t do it.
The foundation of everything we do. We design your space in 3D before construction begins — a detailed, accurate representation of materials, layout, and scale. The design retainer credits toward your build.
Custom gunite pools designed around your yard and lifestyle. Raised spas, baja shelves, entry steps, waterline tile, coping, premium Pentair automation, saltwater systems, and energy-compliant heating.
Custom island builds with stone veneer, countertop selections, built-in BBQ, gas appliances, water lines, and electrical. Paired with patio cover structures that create shelter and define the space.
Driveways, front entries, pool decks, and patio slabs. Broom finish, exposed aggregate, Top Cast, stamped concrete. Reinforced with rebar, properly formed, and poured with control joints.
Grade changes, slope stabilization, and decorative retaining structures. Engineered when required by code. Structural integrity first, aesthetic second.
Modern gas fire pits, square or linear designs, seating walls with stone or stucco finish. Gas line installation included. Designed to be the centerpiece of evening use.
Premium artificial turf and sod installation with full Rain Bird irrigation systems. Drainage solutions that protect the entire project investment long after the build is complete.
Low voltage lighting systems designed to highlight your investment after dark. Path lights, accent lights, focal lighting on architectural elements. Concealed wiring, designed for balance and visual depth.
