What changes here
The same trades, built for Valley Glen.
Fences & gates
Where a rear unit exists, the fence stops being one line and becomes a plan: a private line for the main house, a defined path and gate for the rear tenant, and hardware rated for daily use rather than occasional. Getting that layout right up front avoids rebuilding it later.

Deep rear yards leave room for a full-size deck or cover without crowding the house. The layout keeps daylight in the rooms behind it and the path to a rear unit or garage clear, and full valley sun makes surface temperature and finish a real choice.
Decks and patio covers in Valley GlenBlock walls & pillars
Straightforward flat-lot wall work, where the value is in the invisible parts: footing depth, reinforcement, and a cap that sheds water instead of holding it.
More on block walls & pillarsNew construction
Valley Glen lots are wide and deep but rarely deeper than the program an owner wants on them — house, driveway, pool, deck, and often a rear unit.

Who issues permits for work in Valley Glen?
The City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Whether a fence or wall needs a permit depends on its material and height, how tall it may be depends on where it sits on the lot, and a patio cover has its own rules, so the rule for your property is checked before the plan is final.
What does the ground in Valley Glen mean for a build?
