A Westlake Village hardscape contractor, not a franchise call center
Genesis has built driveways, patios, pool decks, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens across Westlake Village, from First Neighborhood and Three Springs to the lakefront homes of The Shores and the gated streets of Westlake Island. Our yard is in Moorpark, a short drive up the 23, so we are on Conejo Valley job sites constantly and the owner runs your estimate in person.
Westlake Village is a master-planned community built around a private lake, where lakefront patios, pool decks, and hillside view lots all ask different things of a builder. We know how these yards are built, how the ground moves, and what the local homeowner associations expect before a shovel goes in the ground.

Most Westlake Village projects combine several of these. Genesis designs and installs all of them with a single dedicated crew, on one schedule.
Why a Westlake Village yard needs a different approach
Westlake Village mixes lakefront lots, hillside view properties, and Conejo Valley soil, with real wildfire exposure. Each of those changes how hardscape should be built here.
Conejo Valley soil that moves with the seasons
Westlake Village sits in the northwestern Santa Monica Mountains and Conejo Valley, where the hillside portions carry expansive, clay-bearing soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons. That movement cracks rigid poured concrete over time. Interlocking pavers sit on a compacted, engineered base and flex with the ground, so the surface stays intact, and any settling is corrected by lifting and resetting pavers rather than tearing out a slab. The base preparation is the whole job, and it is the step budget contractors cut. A soils report governs any specific lot.
Lakefront and hillside lots: grading and drainage
From the lakefront homes of Westlake Island and The Shores to the hillside lots of Westlake Trails, the real work is managing grade and water. Lakefront and sloped properties demand drainage that is built into the hardscape and retaining and seating walls engineered for the load, so a patio or pool deck holds its line and sheds water the right direction. This is where local experience near the lake pays off.
Fire country and defensible space
Westlake Village contains state-mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and the Woolsey Fire in 2018 moved through this area. Non-combustible hardscape, paver patios, walkways, stone, and gravel, is one of the cleanest ways to create defensible space around the home while making the yard more usable. We plan Westlake Village projects with defensible space in mind rather than as an afterthought.
Interlocking pavers versus poured concrete in the Conejo Valley
| What matters | Interlocking pavers | Poured concrete |
|---|---|---|
| Movement on Conejo Valley soil | Flex on an engineered base without cracking | Cracks as the ground moves |
| Repairs | Lift and reset individual pavers, no patch line | Cut and pour a mismatched patch |
| Access to buried lines | Pull up, reach the line, relay the same pavers | Break the slab and re-pour |
| Drainage options | Permeable options let water pass through | Sheds water, needs separate drainage |
| Resale and curb appeal | High-end finish, strong return at resale | Utility finish |
The integrated design-build most paver companies in Westlake Village can’t match
Most paver contractors near you are franchises that install pavers and hand off everything else. Genesis designs and builds the entire outdoor space with one accountable crew. Owner Roger runs the estimate in person, designer Daniel Gradin draws the plan, and the same team installs the pavers, the stone veneer, the BBQ island, and the lighting on one schedule. It is the reason a Westlake Village project stays coordinated instead of turning into three subcontractors pointing at each other.

Book Your Free ConsultationWe handle Westlake Village homeowner association approvals
Many Westlake Village neighborhoods, especially the gated and lakefront communities like Westlake Island and The Shores, involve homeowner association oversight and architectural guidelines before hardscape work begins. Genesis provides the drawings, material selections, and paver and stone samples your association needs to approve the project, so you are not stuck translating between a contractor and a review board.
Building for Westlake Village since 1993
Westlake Village is a master-planned community on the Los Angeles and Ventura county line, developed from the 1960s around a private lake as one of Southern California’s original planned suburbs. It is affluent and design-conscious, with lakefront homes, gated enclaves, and hillside view lots, all bordering Thousand Oaks and North Ranch.
That planned, lake-centered setting is exactly what makes quality hardscape matter here. Lakefront drainage, hillside grade, expansive soil, and wildfire exposure each ask something specific of a builder, and Genesis, based minutes away in Moorpark, builds for the way Westlake Village yards actually sit on the land.
What Genesis customers say
Reviews from across our Southern California service area. Customers name the crew and the honesty, in their own words.
“Roger showed up for the estimate in the rain and gave us a quote that was very reasonable. He helped us choose the stone and color. We had the driveway and front walkway done too.”
“Fernando explained the entire process and the sales tactics that others like System Pavers use to upsell. If you want honest advice and good work, go with Genesis.”
“Daniel led us from design through execution, and the BBQ island he designed is money. All my friends love it.”
“Fernando and his crew did an outstanding job creating beautiful tier planters with veneer and white capstones. We received many compliments from our neighbors.”
“I had some sunken areas in the pavers. Genesis kindly sent their crew and fixed it. Happy with their service and ethics.”
