"Dee is fantastic! We loved the design Mike came up with for our backyard makeover. Then once construction started we realized we had made choices that needed to be changed. In every case Dee's suggestions (stucco the walls instead of paint, don't use DG next to the pool, run wood fence topper horizontally) turned out to the best. We are so glad we listened to him. Our finished backyard looks like an art installation but one where you can feel comfortable and at home. Now a year later we had them come back for a few tweaks and again Dee's suggestions were the right ones. We are happy we choose G & L and plan to use them again next year when we tackle our front yard."

"We had a great experience working with Eran. He is a professional and is an expert in his field for our specific project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when my architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and we spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by getting the building permits and worked with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work."

"I cannot say enough great things about Encore Builders and the exceptional work they did on our property in Granada Hills. Brandon and Ozzy are truly THE BEST IN THE BIZ!!! From the very beginning, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Brandon and Ozzy are easy to communicate with, always available and their whole team is always punctual. The artificial grass they installed is so realistic and looks absolutely stunning. We needed them to come back for a small touch up and the crew was extremely sweet and always did everything with a smile. You can tell they care about their employees. The new planter area they created is perfection!!!! The placement looks amazing and really enhances the overall feel of our frontyard. What truly sets Encore Builders apart is their dedication to customer satisfaction. Brandon and Ozzy were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. They ensured that the project was completed on time and within budget. I met with other companies but Encore Builders quoted me 30% less than anyone else. The other companies felt like a rip off. If you are looking for a company that not only specializes in landscaping but also brings creativity, professionalism, and a personal touch to the table, Encore Builders is the one. We could not be happier with the outcome, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their home!!!!"

"We couldn't be happier with our backyard project. Motti and Kimberly were just wonderful to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive all throughout the process. They listened to our thoughts and educated us as to all our possibilities. Motti has a wonderful design eye and is so passionate about his work. We were very happy when we used them for the front of our house 4 years ago, this time around for the back, and we would use them again in the future. We recommend them highly."

Architects questions, answered by experts

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

The best height for a pizza oven is one that allows the user to easily see what’s going on inside and comfortably place pies without having to crouch over. In general, that means the opening should be between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. By contrast, the height of the dome is totally up to your preference, because different heights create different results. Shorter domes are better for creating Neapolitan-style pies, whereas taller domes are ideal for NY-style recipes.
