Contra Costa County
Hardscape Contractor in Lafayette, Orinda & Moraga
Lamorinda properties are the hillside end of our work. Steep driveways, wooded lots, limited access and winter runoff all shape what a project looks like here, and drainage is almost always part of the scope.
What we see on local properties
- Slopes and cut-and-fill pads mean retaining walls and drainage are usually designed together.
- Narrow, winding access limits equipment size and affects how material gets to the back of the property.
- Heavy tree canopy adds leaf load, so drains get grates and clean-out access.
- Winter runoff from uphill neighbors often needs to be intercepted before it reaches the house.

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.”

Lafayette, Orinda & Moraga 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.
- Do tall retaining walls need engineering?
- Above the local height threshold, or with a load above them, yes. We tell you before work starts.
- Can you intercept runoff coming from the uphill property?
- Usually, with a drain line placed along the upslope side and routed to a legal outlet.
- Do you replace steep, cracked driveways?
- Yes, with attention to slope transitions so vehicles do not scrape at the street or garage.
