Hillside estate specialists
Sloped lots aren't a problem. They're the point.
El Dorado Hills backyards rarely come flat — and that's exactly what makes them worth building on. A raised bond beam that catches the Sierra sunset, an elevated spa looking back over the valley, terraced hardscape that turns a slope into three usable levels. This is the terrain we love to design for.
Estate lots in Serrano, Blackstone, Highland View and Governor's Village call for engineering as much as artistry: soils reports, retaining structures and drainage done right, so the pool looks effortless for the next thirty years.
Every project is designed in full 3D first, permitted through El Dorado County or the city as required, and built by our own licensed crew — CSLB #1129581.

El Dorado Hills pool questions
Can you build a pool on a steep El Dorado Hills lot?
Almost always, yes. Slopes typically mean engineered retaining walls or a raised pool wall, which adds cost but also creates the elevated, view-oriented designs El Dorado Hills is known for. We'll assess your lot free of charge.
What does a custom pool cost in El Dorado Hills?
Hillside estate projects here typically start around $100,000 and range to $250,000+ with spas, retaining, decking and outdoor living. Flat-lot builds start lower. Every quote is itemized.
Do you handle county permits and HOA approvals?
Yes — we prepare plans and engineering for El Dorado County permitting and provide the drawings most HOAs, including Serrano's design review, require.
Can you match my pool to the house's stone and finishes?
That's the goal of the 3D design phase — coping, tile, decking and wall veneers are chosen to extend the architecture of the house, not fight it.
