Moda Outdoor Living is a licensed Los Angeles design-build contractor (CA Lic #1102152) that remodels entire backyards — pool, hardscape, landscape, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fencing, drainage and lighting — under a single contract and a single crew sequence. Full backyard remodels typically run from the mid-five figures for hardscape-and-landscape scopes to $200,000+ when a new pool and structures are included.

Why remodel the whole yard at once?
Because the expensive parts are underground and in the sequence — drainage, conduit, irrigation sleeves and footings all have to go in before hardscape, and doing them twice costs more than doing them once.
The common failure we get called in to fix is a yard built in pieces: a pool from a pool company, a deck from a concrete crew two years later, then a kitchen that needs gas and power run back under the deck that was just poured. Every re-mobilization costs money and every seam between trades is where the finish quality breaks down.
What a full backyard remodel includes
Design and renderings, engineering and permits, demolition, grading and drainage, pool, hardscape, structures, planting and irrigation, lighting, fencing and final commissioning.
Outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands — concrete structure and countertop
Pergolas, patio covers and cabanas
Decks and railings, fences and gates
Fire features and low-voltage lighting
How much does backyard remodeling cost in Los Angeles?
Landscape refreshes start around $8,000, full landscape installs around $25,000, patios around $12,000, outdoor kitchens around $18,000, pergolas around $9,500 and new pools around $70,000 — a combined remodel is the sum of the scopes you choose.
The most useful thing you can do before talking to any contractor is get an itemized range. Our free estimate builder lets you select the actual materials, sizes and features and returns a line-item number — and it will render the result from a photo of your own backyard.
