Fremont incorporated in 1956 from five distinct towns, and each one presents different pool-building conditions. Mid-century tracts in Centerville and 28 Palms sit on generous flat lots that suit straightforward excavation and larger pool footprints. Mission San Jose’s hillside properties often call for engineered retaining and soil reports before the city issues a permit. Niles and Irvington mix older housing stock with infill, where utility locating matters more than usual, and the newer Warm Springs and Ardenwood developments typically have tighter setbacks that reward space-efficient designs like plunge pools and pool-spa combos. Every Fremont project we take on is designed around the lot it lives on, permitted under Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 15.40, and inspected through the city’s Citizen Access portal.

Royal Pools by Adams is part of the Adams Pool Group, a family-run organization that has been building and finishing pools since 1953. Every 28 Palms project is backed by the same leadership team that oversees every Royal pool in the Bay Area.

We design and build pools in every Fremont district:
Mid-century flat lots ideal for full-size pools. See our dedicated 28 Palms page.
Historic district homes where utility locating and access planning lead the design phase.
Hillside estates, often with engineered retaining and view-oriented infinity designs.
Established tracts with mature landscaping to design around, not through.
Newer developments with tighter setbacks; plunge pools and pool-spa combos shine here.
Family neighborhoods where play pools with tanning ledges are the most requested build.
Yes. Any pool or spa deeper than 18 inches requires a Building Permit from the City of Fremont’s Community Development Department (Planning, Building and Permit Services). Fremont regulates pools under its own Swimming Pool and Spa Code, Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 15.40, with valuation-based fees under the city’s Master Fee Schedule. Our team handles the entire permit process in Step 3 of our build program.
All of them. Fremont was formed in 1956 from five historic towns, and we build across every district: Niles, Mission San Jose, Irvington, Warm Springs, Centerville, plus Ardenwood, 28 Palms, and the newer developments near Pacific Commons. Lot sizes and soil conditions vary widely between these areas, which is exactly why the design phase starts with a site visit.
It can. Flatland neighborhoods like 28 Palms and Centerville are straightforward excavations, while hillside lots in Mission San Jose and the Vineyards-Avalon area may need engineered retaining or soil reports before the city issues permits. We scope this in the design and engineering phase so there are no surprises mid-dig.
California’s SB 442 requires new and remodeled pools to include at least two of seven approved drowning-prevention safety measures, such as an enclosure fence, self-closing gates, or an approved safety cover. We build the required features into every Fremont project and document them for the city’s final inspection.
Most custom pools run several months from first design meeting to first swim, with Fremont’s permit review adding time up front. Our five-step program keeps the schedule visible: design, engineering and planning, permits, construction, and completion. You can track your inspections through Fremont’s online Citizen Access portal.
Yes. We work with pool financing partners so Fremont homeowners can spread the investment over time. See our pool financing page for current options, or ask during your free design consultation.
