Royal Pools by Adams designs and builds custom inground swimming pools across the 95120 zip code, Almaden Valley’s home zip. We are a Diamond Certified pool construction company based about 15 minutes down the expressway on Camden Avenue in San Jose, and we have been building Bay Area pools since 1969. Our five-step program takes your project from first sketch to first swim.
95120 is Almaden Valley: about 37,000 residents across 12,700 households, with a median home dating to 1976 per Census estimates, on some of the largest residential lots in San Jose. The zip runs from level valley-floor streets around the country club up into foothill edges backed by the Almaden Quicksilver parkland, the old mercury-mining hills that now frame half the backyards here. That range is exactly our specialty. Flat lots take full-size family pools with conventional digs, while sloped parcels get our engineering-first treatment: per-lot soils review, retaining design, and drainage planned before the first rendering. Permits are City of San Jose standard, through SJPermits.org for anything holding water over 18 inches deep, and 1970s-era homes often come with 1970s-era pools, which keeps replastering and full replacements busy alongside new construction. One per-address note: nearly every 95120 home is served by San Jose Water Company, but the zip technically touches other providers at its rural fringes, so we confirm your water provider during design rather than assume it.

We build across the whole Almaden zip:
Established streets around Almaden Country Club, built for estate-scale outdoor living.
Family streets beneath the eastern foothills.
The classic 1970s core of the valley floor.
Our citywide page for the whole valley.
95120 is Almaden Valley: the country club area, Graystone, Almaden Meadows, and the foothill streets around them. The historic New Almaden village carries its own 95042 zip and is not part of this page’s territory.
Yes. 95120 is City of San Jose, so anything holding water over 18 inches deep needs a building permit through SJPermits.org, reviewed by the PBCE Building Division at 200 E. Santa Clara St (408-535-3555). Sloped foothill parcels can carry additional geotechnical review, and we manage all of it.
Yes, and it is some of our best work. The zip’s eastern and southern edges climb toward the Almaden Quicksilver parkland, so sloped lots get per-lot soils review, retaining design, and engineered drainage before we commit to a layout. The views are worth the engineering.
San Jose Water Company for essentially every home in the zip, with Valley Water managing the wholesale supply. Because the zip’s rural fringes technically touch other providers, we confirm your specific address’s provider during design.
Often, yes. The median 95120 home dates to 1976, and original pools from that era are usually past their design life in plaster, plumbing, and equipment. We assess what is worth keeping and quote a remodel or full replacement accordingly.
The full composition: pool, raised spa, outdoor kitchen, fire features, and hardscape designed as one piece. Almaden’s larger parcels are among the few in San Jose where the complete resort-style backyard fits without compromise.
