A freestanding backyard unit,
built to fit your Orangevale lot.

The thing that makes detached the most flexible build we do is the same thing that makes it the heaviest lift: it doesn't touch your house anywhere. Separate slab. Separate walls. Its own roof carrying its own loads. Because it stands free, we can spin the whole unit to point the front door at the back of the lot, away from a fence line, toward the trees instead of through them. Orangevale lots give us room to actually do that — these are big parcels, not zero-lot-line tracts. The cost is honest and real: you're paying for a second foundation, a separate roof system, and a longer haul of materials from the street to the back forty. We map every foot of it before you sign anything.

Every truss, every yard of concrete, every pallet of siding has to physically reach the backyard. On a flat acre off Pershing with a wide gravel side yard, that's nothing. Toward the eastern edge by Sacramento Bar, where the path back runs between mature trees and the ground turns to decomposed granite, it's the whole puzzle. So on the first walk we measure gate width, side-yard clearance, slope, and the drip line of anything we have to thread past. Power out here is SMUD, not PG&E — different service application, different meter rules, different timeline. Since detached gets its own everything, we run a separate water line, a separate sewer or septic tie-in, and a dedicated SMUD service so the unit truly stands alone from day one.
