Landscaping Contractor Serving El Dorado Hills & El Dorado County
If you're searching for landscaping in El Dorado Hills, CA, you want a contractor who actually knows the area — not a crew driving in blind from across the region. Pinnacle Pools and Landscape is a family-owned, licensed contractor (CA Lic. #892669) working throughout El Dorado Hills and El Dorado County, from Serrano, Blackstone, Promontory and beyond. We build custom pools and landscapes suited to El Dorado Hills' larger lots and hillside grading.
Great landscaping is a system, not a shopping list of plants. Our landscape design and installation service plans your entire yard as one project — planting, irrigation, lighting, drainage, lawn, and hardscape — so everything works together and thrives in the Sacramento Valley climate.
Every El Dorado Hills project starts the same way: a free on-site consultation and a fixed, itemized estimate. Slopes call for engineered retaining walls, terracing, and careful pool placement. We design with the grade rather than fighting it — often turning the slope into the yard's best feature.

How Your El Dorado Hills Project Works
Design Consultation
We walk the property, discuss how you use the yard, and develop a landscape plan with plant palette, irrigation zones, and lighting.
Site Prep & Grading
Demo, soil preparation, grading, and drainage installation set the foundation for everything visible later.
Hardscape & Irrigation
Edging, pathways, and the irrigation mainline and valves go in before a single plant, so nothing gets dug up twice.
Planting, Lawn & Lighting
Trees, shrubs, sod or turf, mulch, and low-voltage lighting complete the landscape, followed by a controller walkthrough.
Working in El Dorado Hills: Local Knowledge That Matters
Hillside & Sloped Lots
Slopes call for engineered retaining walls, terracing, and careful pool placement. We design with the grade rather than fighting it — often turning the slope into the yard's best feature.
Rocky Ground & Excavation
Parts of El Dorado Hills sit on rock that slows excavation. We assess dig conditions up front so your quote and schedule reflect reality, not surprises.
El Dorado County Permits & Fire Standards
Projects here run through El Dorado County (or the EDH Fire Department for some features). We manage the process, including defensible-space-conscious planting design.

What plants work best in the Sacramento area?
The Sacramento Valley's hot-summer Mediterranean climate favors lavender, salvia, rosemary, ornamental grasses, crape myrtle, olive, and California natives like ceanothus and manzanita. We design plant palettes that handle 100° summers and occasional winter frost while staying attractive year-round.
Do you install irrigation and sprinkler systems?
Yes — high-efficiency drip irrigation for beds, rotary or spray zones for lawn, and smart weather-based controllers are part of nearly every landscape we build. We also retrofit and repair existing systems as part of larger projects.
Can you fix drainage problems in my yard?
Yes. Standing water and soggy lawns usually trace to grading or compacted soil. We solve drainage with proper grading, french drains, catch basins, and dry wells — and we address it before installing any landscape on top.
Can you build a pool on my sloped El Dorado Hills lot?
Almost certainly — sloped lots are our specialty here. Solutions range from engineered retaining walls and raised pool walls to stunning infinity-edge designs that use the drop-off as a feature. The 3D design will show exactly how it works on your grade.
