Hardscape Contractor in Concord & Pleasant Hill
5.0 on Google · 6 reviewsConcord and Pleasant Hill are full of ranch-era homes on flat lots with original concrete driveways and narrow walkways. Most of what we do here is concrete driveway replacement and backyard makeovers: breaking out cracked flatwork, fixing the grade underneath, installing new concrete or pavers, and converting tired lawns to sod or artificial turf.

Work near Concord & Pleasant Hill
What started as a fence and retaining wall repair turned into a full backyard rebuild: a 14' x 17' paver patio with a gazebo, a pressure-treated wood retaining wall with a built-in bench seat, replanted hillside and steps that make the steep slope safe to walk.

What we see on local properties
- Flat lots drain slowly, so surface slope and a drain outlet matter more than they look like they should.
- Original 1950s and 1960s driveways were poured thin, which is why they crack and settle.
- Narrow side yards are common candidates for combined walkway and drainage work.
- Front-yard conversions from lawn to low-water planting pair well with new walkways.

We could not be happier with the results. Alonso, the owner, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He took our general ideas and turned them into a cohesive, functional outdoor design that beautifully complements our property while staying within our budget. The scope of the project included building a 14' x 17' patio area with a gazebo, installing a pressure-treated wood retaining wall, constructing a patio bench seat, landscaping our hillside, and building steps to provide safe access up our steep hill. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were outstanding. Alonso and his team were consistently prompt and professional. Whenever unexpected issues arose, Alonso was transparent and communicated clearly about the situation, available options, and any associated costs. We greatly appreciated his honesty and commitment to delivering the highest quality work. My wife and I are thrilled with our new outdoor living space and look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Our only regret is that we didn't undertake this project 20 years ago when we first moved into our home. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Alonso and the entire Golden Hills Landscaping team and would highly recommend them to anyone considering an outdoor improvement project.”
“We recently replaced our concrete slab backyard with a stone paver patio at our home on Tanager Drive, and Alonso and his crew were fantastic. His quote was higher than others, but he earned the job by being methodical, available, and clearly capable. From the start he was thoughtful about the approach and helped us think through both design and execution. The project moved quickly and efficiently, and his crew was polite, professional, and detail-oriented. Alonso took initiative to fix small details without being asked, which really showed his pride in the work. One of the biggest value adds was his help with planning. He came with me to shop for stone, offered recommendations, and ultimately improved our original vision. The yard went from concrete to castle. The finished patio looks amazing and is one of our favorite spaces. I strongly recommend Alonso and his crew for any landscaping, yard work, or exterior renovation. Very grateful for his work and would absolutely hire him again.”
“Great work by Alfonso and his team! They did a beautiful job restoring retaining walls and walkways. I appreciated their professionalism at every step of the project: prompt response to my service request, clear plans, staying on schedule, and leaving the site clean. Thank you!”
“Had a great experience with Golden Hills Landscape. They installed pavers, irrigation, rocks, and sod in my backyard and did a fantastic job. Super professional, great prep work, and everything was done in a timely manner. Pricing was very fair. The yard looks amazing--would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”
“Viktor listened to my concerns about my cracked driveway and came up with a creative, cost-effective solution that worked perfectly. The team worked tirelessly from morning until night and never skipped a day, staying on schedule and completing the job within the proposed time period. The quality of the work was outstanding--my driveway looks beautiful now, and the entire process was seamless.”

Concord & Pleasant Hill questions
- Are you a landscaping company in Concord and Pleasant Hill?
- Yes. We are a licensed landscape construction contractor (CA #1118886) building full landscaping projects in Concord and Pleasant Hill: paver and stamped concrete patios, driveways, retaining walls, drainage, irrigation, sod and planting, handled by one owner-led crew.
- How much does a landscaping or patio project cost in Concord and Pleasant Hill?
- It depends on the size of the area, slope and access, drainage, soil, how much old concrete or lawn comes out, and the materials you pick. We do not quote from a price list; Alfonso visits, measures and gives you a free written estimate.
- Is replacing a whole driveway better than patching it?
- If the cracking is widespread or the slab has settled, replacement gives a better result and lets us correct drainage.
- Can you widen a narrow driveway?
- Often yes, subject to setback and right-of-way rules in your city.
- Do you do side-yard drainage?
- Yes, commonly combined with a new walkway so the trenching only happens once.
- How close to Concord are you based?
- Our base is Bay Point, a short drive up Highway 4.
- Can you demolish and replace an old concrete driveway?
- Yes. We break out and haul away the old slab, re-grade and compact the subgrade, then pour new concrete or install a paver driveway built for vehicle weight.
