Drainage & Grading in Lafayette
Golden Hills Landscape, Inc. assesses and fixes drainage on Lafayette hillside homes before the heavy rains. Owner Alfonso walks the property with you: the uphill side of the house, where surface water flows, the condition of existing drains, and any signs of water intrusion or erosion. You get a clear recommendation for preventive work and a free written estimate. We hold California contractor license #1118886.
What matters on Lafayette lots
- The uphill side of the house is checked first, because that is where runoff collects against walls and foundations.
- Existing drains, grates and outlets are inspected for clogs from the oak and leaf load common in Lafayette.
- Erosion on slopes and at the base of retaining walls is noted, with options to slow and redirect the water.
- Water is routed to a proper outlet on your property, never toward a neighbor.
Drainage & Grading questions from Lafayette
- Do you do hillside drainage assessments in Lafayette?
- Yes. Alfonso visits in person, looks at the uphill side, surface-water flow, existing drains and erosion, and recommends what to do before the rains.
- When is the best time for an assessment?
- Before the heavy rains if possible, but any time works. Seeing the yard during or right after rain can actually help show where water goes.
- Can you stop runoff coming from uphill?
- Usually, with an interceptor drain along the upslope side routed to a legal outlet on your property.
- Can you repair or clear existing drains?
- We check what is there first. Some lines can be cleared or reconnected; others need replacing. You get the options in the estimate.
- Who does the estimate?
- Alfonso, the owner, in person, in English or Spanish.
- How much does drainage work cost?
- It depends on the problem, the length of drain lines, slope and access. You get a free written estimate after the site visit.

What neighbors say
“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. Alfonso, 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. Alfonso and his team were consistently prompt and professional. Whenever unexpected issues arose, Alfonso 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.”
