When the Outdoor Space Needs to Do Several Things Well at Once
Westwood properties often need the outdoor space to do several jobs well at once. Privacy, flow, dining, shade, and how the home opens outside all influence what a stronger plan should look like.
Design Scapes brings design and construction together so those priorities are resolved in the plan — not discovered one by one as the project moves forward.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westwood
Across Westwood's Residential Pockets
Westwood covers a varied mix of residential character — from the quieter streets of Little Holmby to the established pockets north and south of Wilshire — each with its own outdoor living priorities.
Little Holmby
Established residential streets where privacy, multi-zone outdoor flow, and cohesion with the home’s architecture lead the brief.
Westwood Village-Adjacent
Residential areas close to the village core where practical outdoor improvements and clean indoor-outdoor connection matter most.
South of Wilshire
Residential pockets where lot efficiency, shade planning, and a more cohesive outdoor living environment shape the project brief.
North Westwood
Quieter residential neighborhoods where calm, functional outdoor living and better daily usability drive the outdoor conversation.
What We Plan For in Westwood
Planned Around Privacy, Flow, and the Way the Home Lives
Westwood outdoor projects work best when privacy and flow are planned from the first layout decision — not added on after the hardscape is already set. Patios, pergolas, and kitchens should feel like one connected outdoor plan, not a sequence of separate contractor jobs.
The finished space should feel cohesive with the home and functional for daily life — premium in feel without needing to announce it.
Privacy & Screening
Privacy planned from the first layout decision — not added as an afterthought once the patio and planting choices are already locked.
Outdoor Flow
How people move through the yard, from indoor spaces to dining to lounging, planned as a single connected experience rather than separate zones.
Cohesion With the Home
Material, transition, and layout decisions made to feel like a natural extension of the home — not a landscaping package placed adjacent to it.
Practical Daily Use
The space should work well for everyday life — shade where it matters, circulation that feels easy, and comfort that holds up season to season.
The Westwood Context
A Neighborhood Where the Outdoor Plan Should Match the Home
Westwood sits at the intersection of established residential character and active West LA energy. The outdoor space should feel considered and settled — not like a surface-level update placed on a property that deserved more thought.
UCLA area — active academic and residential environment where everyday outdoor usability and privacy are real priorities
Westwood Village — walkable village character that sets the tone for how nearby residential outdoor spaces should feel and function
Holmby Park-adjacent — established park surroundings where calm, considered outdoor living matches the residential character of the street
Wilshire corridor — mixed residential pockets where indoor-outdoor connection and privacy planning lead the outdoor living conversation
