Outdoor Living, Pools & ADUs Built Across 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.

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.

Our new fire pit completely changed how we use our backyard. It’s become THE spot where everyone gathers at night.

John T

Loomis, CA

Golden Valley Development turned my empty backyard into a paradise with a pool, grotto, spa, slide, and entertaining area. They kept me updated every step of the way and exceeded all expectations. Now our home is the go-to spot for family and friends — highly recommend!

Natalie H. 

El Dorado Hills, CA

Our backyard had a steep slope and we had no clue what to do with it. Golden Valley transformed it into three beautifully lit terraces with integrated planters, stone steps, and views we didn’t even realize we had. It’s now our favorite place to relax at sunset.

Brian and Jenna T. 

Loomis, CA

We interviewed several contractors, but Golden Valley stood out immediately. The quality of craftsmanship and the thoughtful layout blew us away. Our outdoor kitchen feels like a natural extension of our home, and the kids love running around on the turf. Worth every penny.

Melissa R

Granite Bay, CA

From the first walkthrough to the final plant in the ground, the team at Golden Valley Development nailed every detail. We were going for a clean, modern California feel — and now our front yard turns heads every time someone walks by. Couldn’t be happier.

Doug and Camille C.

Roseville, CA

Our new custom backyard pavilion is absolutely beautiful, just as we imagined. We love sitting out there, listening to the soft sound of the waterfall and entertaining friends.
