Outdoor Luxury Starts Here

Getting started is simple. Contact us to schedule a free on-site consultation. We'll walk your property, discuss your vision and priorities, review any HOA or permit considerations, and give you a realistic budget range. From there, we develop a full design proposal with material selections, a project timeline, and a detailed scope of work.

We install concrete pavers, natural travertine, porcelain tile, and tumbled stone — all sourced from premium suppliers. For Southern California's climate, concrete pavers and travertine are our most popular choices. They handle the heat, require minimal maintenance, and complement the architectural styles common in Calabasas and Hidden Hills. We also specialize in open-grade base systems for superior drainage on hillside and slope applications.

Yes. Retaining walls over 3 feet in LA and Ventura County typically require permits and engineered drawings. Marbia coordinates with licensed structural engineers and handles the permitting process on your behalf. We've built retaining wall systems on some of the most challenging lots in the Santa Monica Mountains foothills — from decorative block walls to reinforced concrete structures.

Artificial turf is one of the smartest investments for SoCal homeowners — it eliminates water bills, stays green year-round, and holds up to the heat. We install premium turf products with organic infill options (like cork or coconut fiber) that keep surface temps lower and avoid the microplastic concerns of crumb rubber. We'll help you select the right pile height and density based on how you use the space — pets, kids, or pure aesthetics.

Our outdoor kitchen projects include a full structural base (poured concrete or steel stud framing), stucco or stone veneer finish, built-in grill, side burners, refrigerator, sink, and countertop — typically quartzite or porcelain. Custom BBQ islands in the Calabasas area typically range from $25,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, materials, and appliance selections. We design every kitchen to integrate seamlessly with your patio and landscaping.

Yes — and this is where we add the most value. When the pool shell, pool deck, hardscape, landscape, lighting, and irrigation are all designed together from day one, the results are dramatically better than piecing it together with multiple contractors. We coordinate with our licensed pool contractor partners and serve as your single point of contact throughout the entire project.

All of our irrigation installs use smart controllers — Hunter, Rachio, or Rain Bird — that automatically adjust to local weather data and LA's watering schedule restrictions. We design each zone for water efficiency, targeting the minimum output needed to establish and maintain healthy plants. Proper irrigation design also protects your hardscape investment by keeping water away from pavers and foundations.

Timeline depends on scope. A patio and irrigation project typically runs 3–6 weeks. Full backyard transformations with hardscape, turf, outdoor kitchen, and planting range from 8–16 weeks. Projects requiring permits (retaining walls, pools, gas lines) add lead time for approvals — usually 4–8 weeks before construction begins. We give you a detailed timeline in your proposal and keep you updated throughout.

Yes on all counts. Marbia Landscape Design is fully licensed in California and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We pull all required permits for hardscape, retaining walls, irrigation, gas, and electrical — and we don't cut corners. Your project is done right, documented, and ready to pass inspection.
