From Canyons to Coasts: Navigating Complicated Laguna Beach Terrain

Laguna Beach is famous for two things: breathtaking views and incredibly difficult building sites. Whether it’s a steep hillside in North Laguna or a narrow lot on the sand, these projects require a specialist, not a generalist.

​Many contractors shy away from complicated hillside projects because of the soil stability and shoring requirements. My team and I thrive here. We specialize in:

  • Caisson and Grade Beam Systems: Ensuring your home is anchored deep into the bedrock.
  • Coastal Commission Expertise: Navigating the strict environmental regulations unique to Laguna and Newport.
  • SBD Waterproof Foundations: Implementing the foundation technology I pioneered to ensure that even homes built “in the sand” stay dry and structurally sound for a lifetime.

When the terrain is difficult, you need more than a builder; you need a visionary who understands the science of the shoreline.
