Polk CountyCustom home builder in Pleasant Hill, Iowa
Pleasant Hill gives you wooded east-side lots and quick access to the interstate and downtown.
Building in Pleasant Hill
Pleasant Hill has some of the better tree cover on the east side of the metro, and lots with genuine slope. Both are assets for a custom home and both need a site plan that respects them.
We plan tree protection, erosion control and retaining early on these lots. Sloped sites here regularly support walkout lower levels, which is the cheapest way to add finished square footage to any house we build.
Southeast Polk and Des Moines district boundaries run through this area, so verify the school assignment for a specific parcel rather than assuming from the address.
What we handle for Pleasant Hill builds
- Lot review before you buy — grade, soils, drainage, setbacks and covenants
- Plans drawn to your site and any architectural review requirements
- A line-item budget with named allowances, not a per-square-foot guess
- Permits, inspections and the full Polk County process
- Construction, finish work and a one-year workmanship warranty
Thinking about a lot in Pleasant Hill?
Send us the address or the plat before you sign. A twenty-minute review of grade, drainage and covenants routinely saves five figures in site work — and tells you whether the walkout you want is even possible.
