Royal Pools by Adams designs and builds custom inground swimming pools across the 95125 zip code, the heart of Willow Glen and its surrounding streets. We are a Diamond Certified pool construction company based about 15 minutes away 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.
95125 is Willow Glen’s zip, and it wears more history than any other corner of San Jose: the neighborhood incorporated as its own city in 1927 and joined San Jose in 1936, and the streets still carry that era’s bungalows and Spanish Revival homes. Around 54,000 residents share the zip across roughly 20,800 households, with a median home dating to 1965 per Census estimates, which means two kinds of pool work thrive here: design-sensitive new builds behind heritage homes, and replacements for pools that have already served a generation. The ground cooperates. This is flat, former-orchard valley floor between Los Gatos Creek and the Guadalupe River, so excavation is conventional, and the real planning goes into what sits above it: mature trees, detached garages, and the narrow side yards typical of 1920s-1940s lots, which our small-equipment approach is built for. Permits run through the City of San Jose’s PBCE Building Division via SJPermits.org for anything holding water over 18 inches deep, and every 95125 address draws its water from San Jose Water Company. We handle both ends, the paperwork and the water chemistry, as part of the build.

Every corner of the zip is familiar territory:
The heritage core along Lincoln Avenue.
The early-1900s planned neighborhood beside the Willow Glen core.
The established streets on the zip’s southern side.
Our citywide page for the whole valley.
95125 covers Willow Glen and its surrounding streets, including the Lincoln Avenue core, the early-1900s Palm Haven neighborhood, and the Dry Creek area to the south.
Yes. Every 95125 address is City of San Jose, so anything holding water over 18 inches deep needs a building permit through SJPermits.org, with plan review in SJePlans and the PBCE Building Division at 200 E. Santa Clara St (408-535-3555). We manage the entire process.
The median 95125 home dates to 1965 per Census ACS estimates, and the heritage core is older still, reaching back to the neighborhood’s 1927 incorporation era. Pools installed a generation ago are common here, which makes replacement and remodel work as big a part of our 95125 portfolio as new construction.
San Jose Water Company serves the entire zip, with Valley Water managing the wholesale supply and groundwater basin. We test the fill water on fill day and balance the startup chemistry to it.
Yes, that is standard practice here. The 1920s-1940s lots pair detached garages with narrow side yards and mature street trees, so we scale excavation equipment to the access that exists and protect the landscaping that gives these streets their character.
Classic geometry, period-sympathetic coping, and hardscape matched to bungalow and Spanish Revival architecture. A heritage neighborhood deserves a pool that looks like it was always meant to be there, and that is the design brief we start from.
