Project Gallery: Outdoor Living, Pools & ADUs in Placer County
Every project below was designed and built by one team — Golden Valley Development, Placer County’s design-build outdoor living contractor. From complete backyard remodels with pools, pavers, and pergolas to custom ADUs, fire features, and outdoor kitchens, these are real projects for real homeowners across Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Loomis, and Folsom. Most whole-backyard transformations begin around $50,000, and every one starts with a 3D design so you can walk through your new backyard before we break ground.

From custom pools and outdoor living spaces to interior remodels and complete property transformations, each project reflects our commitment to quality and detail. Whether large or small, every build is designed to bring lasting beauty and value.
Fire Features – Landscape & Hardscape – Outdoor Kitchens – Overhead Structures – Pools & Spas – Water Features
Fire Features
Custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that anchor the backyard year-round.
Gas and wood fire pits, outdoor fireplaces and fire-and-water features across Loomis, Rocklin and Granite Bay. Every one is engineered for clearances, gas runs and prevailing wind before a single stone is set — which is why they still look right years later.
Landscape & Hardscape
Pavers, planting, and retaining walls — the foundation of every backyard remodel.
Paver patios, retaining walls, flagstone walkways and drought-tolerant planting. On Placer County lots that often means working with granite close to the surface and grading for real winter drainage, not just appearance.
Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in BBQ islands and full outdoor kitchens made for entertaining.
Built-in grills, bar seating, pizza ovens and full cooking islands. We plan gas, water, power and drainage into the first drawing so the finished kitchen works in practice, not just on paper.
Overhead Structures
Pergolas and patio covers that turn open space into true living space.
Attached patio covers, freestanding pergolas and full pavilions, designed around your existing rooflines and built to local wind and load requirements. Lighting, fans and power run inside the structure rather than being added afterwards.
Pools & Spas
Pools designed around the landscape — the centerpiece of a complete backyard transformation.
Custom pools, spas and infinity edges designed and built by one team. Shell, decking, equipment and landscape are planned together so the finished space reads as a single project.
Water Features
Fountains and water walls that bring movement and calm to the design.
Sheer descents, spillways, bowls and pondless rock features. The sound they make matters as much as how they look, so we tune flow and drop height on site rather than to a spec sheet.
