Looking for outdoor living in Los Altos? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Los Altos and the surrounding Silicon Valley — from Old Los Altos, North Los Altos, South Los Altos and beyond. Decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas that extend your living space outside.
The Bay Area's climate is made for outdoor living, and a well-built outdoor space is one of the highest-enjoyment, strong-return investments a homeowner can make. Done right, it becomes a true extension of the house rather than a neglected backyard.
For Los Altos specifically, it comes down to local realities: Los Altos's large lots and high resale ceiling make whole-home remodels and rebuilds common — the budget supports doing it right, and design review expects exactly that. Los Altos applies design review and floor-area and setback standards on larger projects; the city expects polished, complete submittals. We design and permit your outdoor living around exactly those conditions.
