Hardscape Contractor in Martinez

5.0 on Google · 4 reviews

Martinez is a short drive from our Bay Point base. Many homes here sit on hillside lots or older streets where the yard slopes toward the house, the soil is heavy clay, and original concrete steps and walls have shifted over the years. Most of the work is about controlling slope and water first, then building the patio, steps or walkway on solid ground.

What we see on local properties

  • Hillside lots often need retaining walls or terraces to turn a slope into usable, level ground.
  • Clay soil holds water, so walls get drainage behind them and yards get a defined path for runoff.
  • Older homes often have sunken or cracked concrete steps and walks that are better replaced than patched.
  • Steps on slopes are laid out with even rises so they are comfortable and safe to walk.

Reputation

“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.”

“Alonso and his team did an excellent job repairing and repaving my driveway. Along the way, he also identified some potential irrigation problems and shared recommendations to prevent future problems. I appreciated his professionalism and communication throughout the project -- always on time and transparent. Alonso's estimate wasn't the lowest cost out of 6 bids but it was competitive. He clearly cares about quality and stands behind his work. He was the only one willing to provide a warranty, and advised the scope required to meet city code, avoid cracking, etc. I look forward to working with Alonso again on other projects.”

“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.”

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.”

Martinez questions

Do you work in Martinez?
Yes. Martinez is a short drive from our Bay Point base in Contra Costa County.
Can you build a retaining wall on a steep Martinez lot?
Yes. Alonso looks at the slope, soil and access in person and explains what kind of wall fits. Taller walls can need city review, and we tell you at the estimate if yours may.
My yard drains toward the house. Can you fix that?
Yes. We regrade the yard and, where needed, add French drains or other drainage so water has a defined path away from the house.
How do I get an estimate in Martinez?
Call or text (925) 437-4446 or send the estimate form. Alonso comes out himself and the written estimate is free.
