Pool Construction Contractor Serving Elk Grove & Sacramento County
If you're searching for pool construction in Elk Grove, 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 Elk Grove and Sacramento County, from Laguna Ridge, Madeira, Whitelock Ranch and beyond.

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.
Do you charge a travel fee for Elk Grove projects?
No — Elk Grove is our home city. You get the fastest response times, free on-site consultations, and daily supervision from a local crew.
