Building in Santa Ynez Valley
Before excavation in Santa Ynez Valley we call in dig alert two weeks ahead and hold a pre-site inspection, booked a week ahead and held at least a week before we dig.
County timelines.
Approximately three months, and longer on a complex parcel. Ranch properties with septic, wells or agricultural overlays carry additional review layers we prepare for in advance.
Acreage changes the design.
Without a neighbor twelve feet away, the pool can be placed for view and sun rather than squeezed against a setback.
Wells and water.
Water source and fill logistics are worth confirming early on a rural parcel.
