Pool Construction Contractor Serving El Dorado Hills & El Dorado County
If you're searching for pool construction 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.
Building a custom swimming pool is one of the biggest upgrades you can make to your home — and one of the most rewarding. As an experienced in-ground pool builder, we take responsibility for your project from first design through startup — one contract, one schedule, one company accountable for the result. Because one licensed contractor owns the whole process, nothing gets lost between stages and your timeline stays predictable.
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.

Hillside & Sloped Lots

How much does it cost to build an in-ground pool?
Most of our custom in-ground pool projects fall between $60,000 and $150,000+ depending on size, finishes, and features like spas, water features, and decking. After a free design consultation and 3D model, you'll get a fixed, itemized proposal — and financing options are available.
How long does pool construction take?
A typical custom pool takes 8–12 weeks from excavation to swim-ready, plus permitting time before we break ground. Weather, inspections, and design complexity can affect the schedule; we give you a realistic timeline before work starts and keep you updated at every phase.
Do I need a permit to build a pool?
Yes — in-ground pools require building permits and inspections in every city we serve. We prepare the engineered plans, submit the permit application, and schedule all inspections as part of every pool construction contract, so you never have to deal with the counter at the building department.
What is a gunite pool and why do you build with it?
Gunite is concrete pneumatically applied over a steel-reinforced frame. It produces a monolithic, highly durable pool shell that can be formed into any shape — which is why it's the standard for custom pools. Unlike prefab fiberglass shells, a gunite pool is designed specifically for your yard and can include tanning ledges, custom steps, and attached spas.
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.
