California is the far east end of the city along the river, with larger lots and more open ground than the neighbourhoods closer in.
It offers the space of a suburban site with the river conditions of the East End, and a good design uses the first while respecting the second.
With more ground than Hyde Park or Mt. Adams, there is space to put a deck at door level and a patio with a fire pit further out, rather than making one structure do everything. That is usually both better to use and cheaper per usable square foot.
The same ground and drainage questions as the East End apply on the lower parts of this stretch, including floodplain requirements on some addresses. Larger lot does not mean the water goes away, and it is checked before design.
Every photograph is a Prime Home Improvements project, taken after the work was finished.
Flexible financing options available through Hearth. Spread the cost of your deck or outdoor space over monthly payments instead of paying for the whole project up front.
On a lot this size, both, at different levels. A deck for cooking and eating by the door, a patio further out for a fire pit. Splitting it gives more usable space than one very large deck and costs less per square foot.
On some addresses along this stretch, yes. It depends on the specific property, and we establish it before the design is settled rather than discovering it at permit stage.
