Pools built around El Dorado Hills yards

Many El Dorado Hills homes sit on ridges and slopes. The yard falls away, the view opens up, and flat ground is scarce. That changes how a pool is planned.

We design each pool around the grade instead of fighting it. On a ridge lot, that can mean an infinity edge toward the valley. On a hillside, it can mean a spillover edge and terraced decking that step down the slope.

As a custom pool builder in El Dorado Hills, we start on site and walk the slope with you. A 3D model of the pool follows within two weeks.

A catch basin below the edge returns the water, and Folsom Lake shows past the oaks.See the build →Retaining wallsOn Candlewood Dr, a blank retaining wall became the focal point. Water now sheets down stacked stone between two pilasters with fire bowls.See the build →Long, narrow lotsOn Grand Teton Dr, the lot is long, narrow and raised above the street.

Questions about pools in El Dorado Hills

Do you build pools on sloped El Dorado Hills lots?

Yes. We plan the pool around the grade. On Da Vinci Dr we set the pool on the upper terrace and let a spillover edge handle the drop.

Is an infinity edge a good fit for a view lot?

It can be. An infinity edge works where one side faces open ground or a view. On Plio Ct it faces the valley, with a catch basin below.

Can you add an outdoor kitchen with the pool?

Yes. On Grand Teton Dr and Ottawa St, we built covered outdoor kitchens beside the pool. Each yard was planned as one space.

How long does a pool take to build in El Dorado Hills?

Construction usually runs six to eight weeks once permits are in. Hillside work, retaining walls and the weather can add time.

Are you licensed to build pools in California?

Yes. Wells Pools holds CSLB license 890910 in the C-53 swimming pool class. You can look us up before you hire anyone.
