Custom Pools, Patios & Decks Built for the Way You Live

In Southern California, outdoor space isn’t just a perk — it’s part of the lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to build a multi-level deck, install a poolside patio, or transform a blank yard into a place to relax and entertain, Nicodemus Construction delivers tailored solutions built for everyday use and long-term enjoyment.

Our outdoor living services are more than surface-level. We consider sun exposure, drainage, flow, and how the space interacts with the rest of your home. The result? Outdoor areas that aren’t just pretty — they’re practical, durable, and truly livable.

Design That Works With the Land

Not all yards are flat, and not every home has a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space — yet. That’s where our team comes in. We help homeowners take underutilized exteriors and turn them into purposeful extensions of the home. Whether we’re working with a tight side yard or a hillside property, we approach each project with the same care and creativity.

For clients investing in custom outdoor living environments in Malibu, we’ve designed and built decks with ocean views, elevated pool lounges, and patio systems that handle salt air, coastal wind, and full-sun exposure. These builds are engineered for both climate and use — because beachfront beauty still needs structural strength.

What We Build — and Why It Lasts

We don’t do prefabricated kits or fragile solutions. Our outdoor construction is fully customized and built on-site with materials selected for longevity. That means framing that resists warping, finishes that don’t fade in the sun, and layouts that actually suit how your household uses the space.

• Multi-zone decks with integrated lighting and power
• Concrete, paver, or stone patios for dining and lounging
• Built-in seating, planters, or firepit foundations
• Pool-adjacent surfaces that stay cool and slip-resistant
• Shade structures and pergolas to make outdoor time comfortable

We work with your existing structures, grade, and elevation — or we design from a blank slate. Either way, we make it feel like it always belonged.

Outdoor Spaces That Add Value

Today’s homeowners want more than just curb appeal. They want spaces they can use — every day, not just for special occasions. Our clients often tell us their new outdoor areas become the most-used “rooms” in the house. Whether it’s morning coffee on a deck, casual dinners outdoors, or weekend gatherings that never move inside, we build for exactly that kind of lifestyle.

In high-performance deck and patio projects in Westlake Village, we’ve helped homeowners maximize backyard potential while keeping local design guidelines and drainage needs in mind. Each project is planned to look great — and to actually last.

How Our Process Works

Like all our services, outdoor construction with Nicodemus is organized, transparent, and grounded in communication. Here’s what the journey looks like:

• Site walk-through: We evaluate grade, soil, access, and use patterns
• Design development: We plan layouts around how you live and entertain
• Material planning: We recommend options that suit your climate and style
• Construction & finishing: Our teams build cleanly, communicate clearly, and finish strong

Why Homeowners Choose Us for Outdoor Projects

Outdoor work often gets treated as an afterthought. At Nicodemus Construction, we take it seriously. The same standards we use for kitchens, bathrooms, and full home builds apply here — because your deck or patio should feel like part of the home, not just an accessory to it.

Clients choose us because:

• We offer cohesive design and execution — no handoffs
• We understand regional building codes and climate challenges
• We communicate clearly and show up on time
• We prioritize long-term performance just as much as aesthetics

We also help you phase out future improvements — so if your outdoor dream involves both a deck and a pool down the line, we’ll plan for that. Our work is about more than this season — it’s about setting up your property to grow with you.

Whether you’re looking to create shade, install a custom patio, or finally build that deck you’ve imagined, we’re ready to bring it to life. With a thoughtful process, durable materials, and designs that feel like home, we build outdoor spaces where life happens — easily and beautifully.
