Big Ideas, Real Impact
At Alderland, design and construction begin with intention. Our philosophy is simple: create outdoor living spaces that are highly functional while remaining visually striking. We thoughtfully balance usability, craftsmanship, and aesthetics to deliver environments that feel effortless to use and compelling to experience—spaces that elevate everyday outdoor living.
Our pools and landscapes are designed as complete environments, not stand alone features. Each project blends form, function, and setting to create spaces that inspire relaxation, connection, and lasting beauty.

Outdoor Rooms
Having optional locations or rooms from which to experience your backyard definitely raises the enjoyment level when friends stop by…or when its just you and the family.
Outdoor kitchens are no longer just about grilling! They now incorporate various cooking elements such as pizza ovens, smokers, griddles, and side burners, as well as fridges, ice makers and sinks.
Including a bar area as part of the outdoor kitchen is a trend that continues to grow. The added countertop is a place to serve drinks and appetizer platters for parties.
Fire pits, fire tables, and outdoor fireplaces are also being incorporated into backyards to create a relaxing place to extend the evening.

Create a Theme
Every successful backyard begins with a clear design direction. Through thoughtful coordination of colors and materials with your home, we craft outdoor spaces that feel balanced, intentional, and beautifully connected.

It’s been about 30 years since rising home values began influencing the design and construction of landscapes and swimming pools. As a result, many older homes that haven’t been updated still have featureless yards. Backyards have become much more important to homeowners and their families, and in the San Francisco Bay Area this trend shows no sign of slowing.

Shade structures are often the primary backyard destination during hot Bay Area summers. Add a couch, a table, a BBQ, or a fire pit — get creative. Modern pavilions provide both rain and sun protection and can include heaters, fans, lights, speakers, and many other accessories. Pergolas can offer many of the same features and relief from the sun at a lower price point.
Shade Structures
In recent years, different types of shade coverings have been created using modern technology and materials:
-Wooden Pergolas have been around for decades, but are now better constructed, with more options for sun and rain protection, as well as other options.
-Aluminum Shade Structures are now available with louvers that open and close to allow you to customize your outdoor experience.
-Pavilion Solid Roof Structures give you the most shade and rain protection and can be overflowing with features, but are also the most expensive to build.

“Don and his team did a phenomenal job. Don really has an artistic design eye for projects and designed our project after coming to visit once. We had our existing pool and spa redone, added a 34' water slide and large waterfall. He also has a talented team working by with him.”
