Hidden Hills Outdoor Living — Estate-Scale Projects on One-Acre Lots
Hidden Hills estate homeowners on minimum one-acre equestrian lots build outdoor living spaces at a scale and investment level found nowhere else in Los Angeles — full outdoor kitchen pavilions, Struxure pergola systems spanning 20+ feet, and TimberTech pool decks. Caspi Construction delivers at that level.
Hidden Hills is an equestrian gated community unlike any other in Los Angeles — minimum one-acre parcels, a rural aesthetic enforced by strict community guidelines, and estate homes set well back from the road with backyards that rival small resorts in their scale and potential. The outdoor living spaces here don't follow the same design constraints as a Woodland Hills ranch home or a Calabasas gated community estate — they are genuinely large-scale projects where a Struxure pergola spanning 30 feet is a realistic specification, where the pool deck alone may cover 2,000 square feet, and where the outdoor kitchen pavilion is a dedicated architectural structure rather than a counter attached to the back of the house. Projects in Hidden Hills routinely run $150K–$400K+. Caspi Construction is a licensed Hidden Hills outdoor living contractor (CSLB #1091631) with a 4.9★ rating. Permits go through the City of Calabasas, which handles building services for Hidden Hills under a municipal services contract.
Our Hidden Hills Outdoor Living Services
Large-Span Struxure Pergola Systems
Hidden Hills properties support Struxure installations at the largest available configuration — multi-module systems that can span 30 to 40 feet continuously, covering outdoor dining, lounge, and kitchen zones under a single motorized louver system. We design multi-module Struxure configurations with the appropriate structural support, wind-load engineering for Hidden Hills's exposure conditions, and integrated LED lighting, side screen panels, and heater mounting. All structural work is permitted through the City of Calabasas.
TimberTech Pool Deck Systems at Estate Scale
Estate-scale pool deck construction in Hidden Hills involves TimberTech AZEK PVC decking across footprints that may cover 1,500 to 3,000 square feet — surrounding pool and spa areas, running along cabana structures, and connecting multiple outdoor entertainment zones. We design pool deck systems at this scale with drainage engineering, equipment access provisions, and coping interface details that ensure the deck system performs correctly over decades. AZEK's Class A fire-rated performance is an additional consideration in Hidden Hills's fire-prone environment.
Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion Construction
Hidden Hills outdoor kitchens are not kitchen stations — they are kitchen pavilions. Dedicated freestanding structures with covered rooflines, full professional grill and cooking equipment, ample counter space in concrete or stone, multiple bar seating positions, under-counter refrigeration, prep sinks with plumbing, wine storage, and comprehensive lighting represent the standard specification for an estate-level Hidden Hills outdoor kitchen. We design these structures as architectural complements to the main house and manage all City of Calabasas structural, gas, and electrical permits.
Fire Pit, Water Feature & Complete Outdoor Entertainment
Large Hidden Hills outdoor living buildouts typically include a dedicated fire pit seating area — a permanent gas fire feature in a custom stone or concrete surround with comfortable seating for eight to twelve — and may include water features such as a trough fountain or pondless waterfall as ambient elements. We design these features as integrated elements of the full outdoor living plan rather than separate additions, ensuring visual cohesion across the entire backyard.

Recent Outdoor Living Projects Near Hidden Hills
Project 1 — Hidden Hills Estate Full Outdoor Living Build-Out
A Hidden Hills homeowner had a two-acre estate with a pool, spa, and an expansive flat rear yard that had never been developed beyond the pool surround. The project scope was comprehensive: replace the existing concrete pool deck with TimberTech AZEK in Pacific Walnut across a 2,400-square-foot footprint, install a 36x22-foot multi-module Struxure motorized pergola system with integrated LED lighting and four infrared heaters over the dining and lounge zone, build a 20-foot outdoor kitchen pavilion with a Wolf grill, two side burners, concrete countertops, wine refrigerator, prep sink, and comprehensive lighting, and add a gas fire pit in a custom travertine surround in the evening seating area. City of Calabasas permits were managed for the full scope. Completed in fourteen weeks.
Project 2 — Hidden Hills Equestrian Property Pergola & Kitchen
A Hidden Hills equestrian property had a large covered barn structure adjacent to the main house that had been converted into a multipurpose entertainment space — but the outdoor transition area between the barn and the pool lacked any shade or cooking infrastructure. The homeowner wanted a large freestanding pergola and outdoor kitchen to bridge the two zones. We installed a 30x16-foot freestanding Struxure motorized pergola in a dark bronze finish spanning the transition area, built a 16-foot outdoor kitchen with a DCS grill, concrete countertop, and outdoor refrigerator positioned at the pergola perimeter facing the pool, added string lighting within the pergola frame and pathway lighting along the connecting walkway, and managed City of Calabasas permits for the full installation. The pergola builder work in Hidden Hills was completed in nine weeks.
Project 3 — Hidden Hills Hilltop Deck & Pergola with Views
A Hidden Hills homeowner on a hilltop parcel had an unobstructed 270-degree view from the rear of the property — a site condition that made outdoor living design a matter of view-optimization above all else. We built a 600-square-foot TimberTech AZEK deck on the hilltop, positioned a 20x18-foot freestanding Struxure motorized pergola to shade the afternoon sun while keeping the full view corridor open, added a compact outdoor kitchen station on the windward side of the pergola, and installed accent and step lighting around the deck perimeter. The outdoor living design build in Hidden Hills required City of Calabasas permits and hillside structural engineering for the deck footings. Completed in eight weeks.

Common Questions From Homeowners
Yes — Hidden Hills contracts with the City of Calabasas for building services, so all construction permits for Hidden Hills properties go through the City of Calabasas Building & Safety Division. This includes outdoor structures, electrical work, gas line extensions, and plumbing for outdoor kitchens. Caspi Construction manages the full City of Calabasas permit process as part of every Hidden Hills outdoor living project.
Hidden Hills estates support Struxure installations at the full range of the system's structural capability — multi-module configurations spanning 30 to 40 feet are feasible on these large properties. We design multi-module systems with wind-load engineering appropriate to Hidden Hills's hilltop and open-field exposure conditions and anchor them to proper structural footings permitted through the City of Calabasas.
Yes — TimberTech AZEK PVC is specifically well-suited to large estate pool deck applications in Hidden Hills. Its Class A fire-rated performance is valuable in Hidden Hills's fire-prone environment, its cooler underfoot temperature compared to concrete is significant on large sun- exposed pool decks, and its maintenance-free surface means a 2,000-square-foot deck requires none of the annual work that natural wood would demand.
Hidden Hills outdoor living projects at the full estate scale — large Struxure pergola system, TimberTech AZEK pool deck, outdoor kitchen pavilion, and fire feature — typically run $150K–$400K+ depending on system size, grill specification, and site complexity. Targeted additions can be completed at lower cost, though most Hidden Hills clients opt for comprehensive build-outs that address the full backyard at once.
Hidden Hills is a gated equestrian community with community design guidelines that govern exterior construction. We review the community's guidelines before design begins to ensure all structural, material, and aesthetic specifications comply with Hidden Hills requirements, and we coordinate with community management for any required approval before City of Calabasas permit submission.
