What Homeowners Say
Real feedback from real projects across Elk Grove and greater Sacramento.
“My backyard looks amazing even better than I imagined it would look. Terry proved to be the best contractor I have worked with. He explained his ideas and listened to mine. It turned out just like I wanted. Terry kept in touch with me before and during the job. One of the most important thing to me is he and his crew were on time. I would recommend Pinnacle Landscape Development for you jobs. Terry is great and I'm one happy lady.”
“Terry at Pinnacle was great to work with. He promptly returned phone calls, showed up when he said he would, did what he said he would do and then some to make the driveway look great, and was very pleasant through the whole process. This is one of my favorite companies that has done work on my home. I would highly recommend them.”
“Working with Terry was great from the bid process through the implementation!! Very punctual, explained everything he was going to do, and executed on time within the original budget!! Would definitely use Pinnacle Landscape Development again!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom pool cost in the Sacramento area?
Most of our custom in-ground pools land between $60,000 and $150,000 depending on size, features, decking, and site conditions. Complete backyard projects that include landscape and outdoor living run higher. Our instant estimate tool gives you a realistic range in about 90 seconds, and our written proposals are fixed and itemized.
How long does it take to build a pool?
Plan on roughly four to seven months end to end. Design and proposal take two to three weeks, engineering and permitting run three to eight weeks depending on your city, and construction itself is typically eight to twelve weeks. Starting in the fall is the best way to be swimming by summer.
Do you really include a free 3D design?
Yes. Every custom pool project includes a photorealistic 3D model rendered on your actual lot, at no cost and with no obligation. You can move the spa, widen the tanning ledge, or change the finish while revisions are still free — which is exactly the point.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Through our financing partner, pool loans go up to $100,000 with terms up to 20 years, no prepayment penalties, and no equity or appraisal required for signature loans. Approvals often come back within one business day.
Which cities do you serve?
We build across the greater Sacramento region, including Elk Grove, Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Granite Bay, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, and Wilton. Elk Grove is our home base.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — California license #892669, fully insured, and family owned and operated. You can verify our license on the Contractors State License Board website, and we'd encourage you to check every builder you talk to.
