Contra Costa County
Hardscape Contractor in Diablo
Diablo is older, wooded and steeper than the subdivisions around it. Lots are irregular, driveways wind, access is tight and the tree canopy drops a lot of material into anything that drains. Projects here are about fitting the work to the property rather than imposing a standard layout on it.
What we see on local properties
- Narrow, winding access limits equipment size and changes how material reaches the back of the property.
- Heavy canopy means drains get grates and clean-out access so they keep working through winter.
- Older walkways and steps have often settled and need rebuilding to a safe, consistent rise.
- Slope and mature trees push layouts toward natural stone and terraced planting areas.
- Uphill runoff is intercepted before it reaches the house or the driveway.

Customer feedback
“My wife and I recently hired Golden Hills Landscaping for a fence and retaining wall repair project that ultimately evolved into a complete backyard makeover. 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 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.”
“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.”

Diablo questions
- Can you work on a steep lot with tight access?
- Yes. We plan equipment and material staging during the estimate so the crew is not improvising on day one.
- Can you rebuild settled stone steps?
- Yes, to a consistent riser height on a base built to stay put on the slope.
- Do you handle drainage under heavy tree cover?
- Yes, with grated inlets and clean-out access so leaf load does not block the line.
- Do tall retaining walls need engineering?
- Above the local height threshold, or with a load above them, yes. We tell you before work starts.
