Hillside Development
Hillside development can seem like a daunting task, but we can make it easier for you. We specialize in hillside construction projects and can ensure with careful planning, communication, and execution that your hillside dream home can indeed become a reality.
If truth be told, hillside construction in Los Angeles can be very difficult to start, let alone finish. Even a task as simple as a retaining wall involves quite a bit of engineering and skilled logistics when done on a hillside. Repairing and working on a hillside does have its own set of problems. Mistakes on a hillside construction project can cost tens of thousands of dollars in delays or damages. With the proper research and insight, you can avoid all that by hiring Los Angeles’ best hillside contractor.
In Los Angeles and the surrounding community, hills are a part of the construction landscape. Building on a hill requires a unique understanding of the proper construction techniques and methods to create a beautiful and solid structure that works with the hill, not against it. While Los Angeles has many residential contractors, few of those work for legitimate hillside building companies. If you are planning a job that requires hillside construction, you need to know that your team is skilled in hillside building techniques.
Here are some tips for building your dream hillside home:
Learn your site!
It helps if you go to the site where you want to build your dream home. Examine the surroundings and sketch (or find a friend/someone who is a great sketcher!) your environment
Know the Cut and Fill
Once you have an idea of where you would like to place your home, it’s time to survey the land. With the survey, you will get to know what amount of earth you need to cut and how much earth you need to add (which is fill).
Consider the Equipment Needed
Due to the fact that hillside development is indeed a slippery slope, you’re going to need special equipment to handle the job. You might need to research how and which equipment you need. Also, the work on the hillside site may take longer than flat surface sites.
Decide on Landscaping
Another special job that can be added to building your hillside home is to decide on landscaping. Some prefer to have a specific environmental design to surround their home, or some let nature take its course and leave it be. Whatever you decide, be sure that your vision comes to life.
