AUGUST 2026
For Jason Sauve, owner of Golden Valley Development, what was once a side hustle during college has evolved into a lifetime passion project. With more than 25 years of experience in the landscaping industry guiding his way, he’s set to continue serving the people in his community and working hard to cement a legacy that he began building decades ago.
Jason’s journey began when he was in college, where he stayed busy taking classes while doing landscape work on the side to make extra money. As time went on, he became more and more immersed with the landscaping industry. In the early 2000s, Jason and his dad started a landscaping business that slowly evolved into Golden Valley Development, a company dedicated to crafting custom outdoor living spaces. “I’ve always been inspired by the attention to detail and immersive experience of places like Disneyland—the idea that a space can leave a lasting impression on someone,” Jason explains. “That inspiration is what drove me to stop doing odd jobs and start building something real. Today, Golden Valley Development is the culmination of everything I’ve learned along the way.” Fueling his fire to succeed and providing inspiration for him to be a good leader are Jason’s wife and their six children.
Golden Valley Development specializes in high-end residential landscape development, which ranges from custom pools and pergolas to ADUs. Whatever the scale or scope of the project, the team’s focus remains the same: create lasting outdoor spaces where their customers can make memories with friends and family for years to come. For Jason and his team, figuring out a way to make their clients’ dreams come to life comes down to focus and attention to detail. “The difference is in the details, and we handle all of them from design to completion: You tell us what you want, and we handle the rest,” Jason explains. “We don’t just build exceptional outdoor spaces; we walk our clients through every step of the process with confidence and transparency. Whether it’s the big picture vision or the smallest finishing touch, we make sure every desire is met with flying colors.” Rather than be tied down by “the way it’s always been done” mentality, the pros at Golden Valley Development seek out modern techniques and innovative practices to deliver truly unique spaces.
While growth is always the goal for a business, Jason emphasizes his team’s dedication to quality work and top-notch customer service above everything else. “Our mission is simple. Deliver exactly what our clients want, no questions asked, and do it in a timely manner. Every time,” he says. As each project they take on pushes the Golden Valley Development team to do more and build bigger, they’re consistently focused on better serving the people of Placer County and the surrounding areas.

We interviewed several contractors, but Golden Valley stood out immediately. The quality of craftsmanship and the thoughtful layout blew us away. Our outdoor kitchen feels like a natural extension of our home, and the kids love running around on the turf. Worth every penny.
