A detached ADU gives homeowners a flexible, independent living space right in their backyard—ideal for multigenerational living, rental income, or long-term guest housing. A well-designed ADU should feel private, efficient, and thoughtfully connected to the property. D. Loesch Construction is a trusted custom ADU builder in Sacramento, handling the full design-build process from concept through permitting and construction.
This 1,200 sq ft custom ADU new build in rural Elk Grove was designed to give one family the space and comfort of a full-sized home—without leaving their property. Built as a multigenerational living solution, this detached accessory dwelling allows the homeowners to stay close to their children and grandkids while still enjoying privacy, independence, and long-term flexibility. As an experienced custom ADU builder serving the Sacramento and Elk Grove area, D. Loesch Construction planned this project from the ground up to feel expansive, functional, and truly livable.
The layout includes a covered patio entry, guest bedroom and bath, a large open-concept kitchen and living space with custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, and a spacious primary suite with a tiled walk-in shower and private backyard access. With features like a tandem garage, dedicated laundry area, future-ready electrical upgrades, and durable exterior finishes like Hardie siding, this ADU was engineered to perform like a modern home while blending seamlessly into the existing property. From design and permitting through construction, our design-build team managed every step—creating a high-value space that feels like it was always meant to be there.









This custom backyard ADU build in Land Park, Sacramento was designed as the ultimate family entertainment space—part pool house, part guest retreat, and a long-term investment in usable backyard living. The homeowners wanted a dedicated “party house” for their growing family, complete with a covered patio for barbecues, birthday gatherings, and summer pool days. As a trusted Sacramento ADU builder, D. Loesch Construction managed the full design-build process from planning and permits through construction, creating a fully integrated space built around how the family will actually live in it.
This project also came with unique site challenges, including tight backyard access for staging large structural materials and the need for precise drainage planning across multiple slab elevations. Every detail—from laser-leveled patio post placement to future concrete flatwork tie-ins—was engineered to ensure the ADU performs beautifully long-term while blending seamlessly into the existing Land Park property. The final result is a high-functioning backyard addition that feels like it was always meant to be part of the home’s layout.









This 801 sq. ft. custom ADU new build in Elk Grove, California was designed as a full two-bedroom, two-bath standalone living space built entirely from the ground up. Unlike a typical garage conversion, this project required complete new construction with no existing structure to reuse—making it a larger-scale investment and a more complex build from both a planning and cost standpoint. As an experienced ADU builder serving Elk Grove and the greater Sacramento area, D. Loesch Construction managed the full design-build process, including permitting, utility coordination, and high-end interior execution.
Because this was a detached new build, the project required several major infrastructure upgrades, including solar panel compliance under California regulations, extensive trenching and horizontal boring for plumbing and electrical tie-ins, and the installation of a sewer injection pump due to insufficient grade for standard gravity drainage. Combined with upgraded custom cabinetry and premium finish selections, this ADU is a great example of how larger, high-end backyard homes can carry significantly higher costs—especially when built from scratch rather than converted from an existing garage.
