What Does a Pool or Outdoor Kitchen Permit Need?
Pools and spas usually need a site plan with setbacks, barrier fencing and drainage, plus structural design for the shell or for nearby retaining walls. Outdoor kitchens with gas or power often need their own plans.
Send us your yard photos and survey. We tell you what your city and HOA will ask for and design it all together.
