Hardscape and landscape construction services

We build the hard parts of a yard — the surfaces you drive on, walk on and sit on — plus the drainage and irrigation that keep them working. Every job starts with preparation and grading, not with the finish material.

Serving Contra Costa County and Alameda County, plus selected San Francisco Bay Area communities. See service areas

Driveway replaced by Golden Hills in Milpitas

Paver Driveways

A driveway that handles daily vehicle weight and still looks sharp in ten years.

A paver driveway gives you a surface that carries vehicle loads, resists cracking and can be repaired one paver at a time. Most of the work that decides how it holds up happens before the first paver goes down: excavation depth, base material and compaction, and how water leaves the surface.

New concrete sidewalk poured by Golden Hills in Pittsburg

Concrete Driveways & Flatwork

Clean, correctly jointed concrete poured on a base that was prepared properly.

Concrete is still the most practical surface for a lot of driveways, patios, side yards and slabs, and stamped concrete gives the look of stone or pavers in one continuous pour. The difference between concrete that lasts and concrete that cracks apart is base preparation, reinforcement, joint spacing and finishing in the right conditions.

Paver patio with block wall edge opening onto artificial turf, built by Golden Hills

Patios & Walkways

Outdoor space you actually use, laid flat, drained and finished with clean edges.

Golden Hills Landscape, Inc. installs and replaces paver patios in San Ramon and across Contra Costa and Alameda counties from our Bay Point base. Alfonso reviews your existing surface, access, drainage and seating layout before recommending materials and a written scope. We plan the patio around how you use the yard, with a compacted base and a path for rainwater.

Retaining Walls

Hold back a slope, gain usable yard, and keep water moving where it should.

Plenty of East Bay and wider Bay Area lots are built into a hillside. A well-built wall turns a slope into flat, usable space, but what keeps it standing is the drainage and backfill behind it, not the block you see from the patio.

Drainage & Grading

Move water away from the house before it turns into a bigger problem.

Golden Hills Landscape, Inc. provides yard drainage repair in Bay Point and throughout Contra Costa and Alameda counties. Water collecting near the house, muddy side yards, patio puddles and downspouts emptying into low spots need a site-specific assessment. Alfonso checks the grade, existing drains and possible discharge points, then recommends drain-line repair or replacement, downspout routing, surface drains or grading as the property requires.

Pittsburg side yard with new lawn strips, flagstone path and river rock by Golden Hills

Irrigation Systems

Water the plants, not the sidewalk — with zones that match how your yard is planted.

East Bay summers are long and dry. A system laid out in proper zones puts water where the roots are, keeps new planting alive through the first seasons, and stops you from paying to irrigate the driveway.

Steps & Stairs on Slopes

Safe, solid ways up a slope — built into the hill, not sitting on it.

Most East Bay lots are not flat, and the quickest place to see workmanship fail is a set of stairs built on loose fill. We cut steps into the slope, build side walls or terraces where the grade demands it, and set each tread on compacted base so the run stays put for decades.

Full Yard Renovations

One crew, one plan — hardscape, planting, lighting and irrigation rebuilt together.

The jobs homeowners tell us they are happiest with are the ones where everything is rebuilt together: the patio, the walls, the steps, the planting, the lighting and the irrigation. Doing it as one plan costs less than piecing it together over years, and the details — sleeves, drains, edges — are handled the right way the first time.
