Building an inground pool takes good planning and skilled work. RGD Concrete Services INC has over 40 years of experience building concrete pools in Los Angeles. Our crew handles the whole job, from site prep and permits to concrete work and the final pool finish.
Before we dig, we check the soil and slope. Rain and heat can cause the ground to shift. Hillside homes may also need strong walls to hold the soil in place and keep the pool stable.
Our crew builds pools in Malibu, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Sherman Oaks, and nearby areas. We are among the inground pool contractors serving Los Angeles homeowners, with a team that handles each stage of the build.
Every yard gets 40 years of pool building skill. Builders here know local soil, hillside slopes, and city codes.
Soil & Slope Tests
Ground and slope get tested before the dig. That keeps your pool flat, safe, and solid over time.

Real Project Case Study
Case Study: Sherman Oaks Hillside Pool
The Problem: A Sherman Oaks homeowner wanted an inground pool on a steep slope. Their yard dropped eight feet from the patio. Loose dirt made normal pool digging unsafe.
What Was Built: Soil tests came first. Next came a strong concrete wall with steel rebar. Next, the team sprayed a thick shotcrete shell. They also poured a flat concrete deck.
The Real Outcome: Every city safety check passed on time. The homeowner gained a safe, flat deck. It stayed firm through wet winter storms with no soil movement.
Client Problem: 8-foot slope drop with loose hillside soil.
What Was Built: Concrete retaining wall and strong pool shell.
Real Outcome: Level pool area that passed city codes and stayed stable in wet storms.

Helpful Answers
What Do Los Angeles Homeowners Asking
Have a question about pool cost, permits, or hillsides? Here are short answers for Los Angeles homeowners.
Check the state board website for their license. Ask for recent local references. Find out if they use their own crew. Get a clear written contract.
Inground concrete pools often cost $60,000 to $120,000. Size, depth, and soil type affect the price. Hillside walls affect it too. A site visit comes before a firm quote.
Yes. Many yards in Sherman Oaks and Los Feliz sit on hills. So do yards in Pacific Palisades. The crew tests the ground. Strong concrete retaining walls make a flat, safe pool area.
Yes. All cities in Los Angeles County require permits. They also require child safety fences. Plans must meet city codes, such as those from LADBS . Your crew drafts the permit plans and sends them to the city.
Most pools take three to five months to build. That spans the first dig to the plaster finish. Rain and soil can affect the time needed. City checks can too. A clear schedule is set before work starts.
