What Pacific Outdoor Living does

Pacific Outdoor Living is a California-based landscape design-build firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Sun Valley (Los Angeles County). The company delivers end-to-end outdoor construction services, including custom landscape design, swimming pools and spas (shotcrete/gunite and fiberglass), hardscapes (patios, driveways, walkways), outdoor kitchens, fire and water features, pergolas, gazebos, masonry, carpentry, and outdoor lighting, executed through a standardized 5-step process (site analysis, consultation, conceptual design, final design, construction). A distinguishing operational feature is the use of in-house specialty trade crews across demolition, landscape, pavers, masonry, carpentry, and pools, supported by an in-house permitting department, CAD-based site plans, and 3D renderings for client presentations. The firm operates three physical showrooms in Sun Valley, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Maria, and has completed more than 20,000 projects since inception.

The business model is predominantly project-based professional services with a $7,500 project minimum and individual projects ranging from small hardscape work to custom outdoor kitchens priced at $15,000-$60,000+. Design fees of $300-$1,850 are charged upfront, and a 4-week post-installation plant monitoring period is included. Go-to-market is direct field sales driven by inbound phone/web inquiries, in-home site analyses, and showroom consultations; there are no reseller or self-serve construction channels. Recurring revenue is a small but growing layer, including a boutique estate maintenance service and standardized product packages via a Mont Alpi dealership (pergola + BBQ installed from $9,950). The primary customer segment is residential homeowners across Greater Los Angeles and the Central Coast, with a secondary commercial property owner segment. The company also operates YardMap, a separate online design service that extends design delivery to U.S. customers outside its California service area.

Pacific Outdoor Living is a privately held firm with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership, and 101-250 employees. It has been recognized on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies in America, holds the Angie's List Super Service Award, has been featured on HGTV and in House Beautiful, and has participated in the Pasadena Showcase House of Design for over 20 consecutive years. The company is a certified dealer for Mont Alpi outdoor products and an installer for San Juan fiberglass pools, providing product breadth without manufacturing capacity.

Broad incumbents

• Ruppert Landscape: Privately held regional commercial landscape services firm with design-build and maintenance operations across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Comparable as a multi-branch, integrated landscape services operator with similar crew structure.
• LandCare: Multi-branch commercial landscape maintenance and design-build firm operating across many U.S. markets. Comparable to Pacific Outdoor Living through its integrated design-build offering and multi-location operating model, although its customer base skews more commercial.
• TruGreen: National lawn and landscape care provider with a strong residential brand and recurring service model. Comparable through its consumer-facing brand strength and recurring revenue design, although its core offering is lawn care rather than full design-build.
• BrightView Holdings: Largest U.S. commercial landscape services company (NYSE: BV), serving clients nationwide. While primarily commercial, its scale, capital base, and design-build capabilities make it a broad comparable for Pacific Outdoor Living's integrated services model and brand-led go-to-market.
• Yellowstone Landscape: Large commercial landscape maintenance and installation company serving the southern and eastern U.S. Comparable through its full-service design-build model, multiple branch locations, and emphasis on integrated crews.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Large, established North American provider of tree care, landscape architecture, and environmental services. Comparable as a vertically integrated outdoor services firm with design, installation, and recurring care capabilities at scale.

Direct peers

• AMS Landscape: California-based landscape design and construction firm serving residential clients in Southern California with similar integrated design-build services (landscape, hardscape, pools). Closest direct competitor in the same geography and customer segment.

Emerging players

• The Grounds Guys: Franchise-based residential and commercial landscape services brand with growing national footprint. Comparable as a brand-led, multi-location outdoor services operator, though its franchise model differs from Pacific Outdoor Living's company-owned crews.
• LawnStarter: Tech-enabled marketplace connecting homeowners to local lawn care and landscaping service providers. Comparable through its focus on the residential outdoor services customer, although its asset-light marketplace model contrasts with Pacific Outdoor Living's in-house crew approach.

Others

• SiteOne Landscape Supply: Largest U.S. distributor of landscape supplies (NYSE: SITE), serving landscape professionals. Comparable as an ecosystem participant — Pacific Outdoor Living is a downstream customer of similar supply categories (pavers, lighting, hardscape materials).
