Drainage & Grading in Walnut Creek
Golden Hills Landscape, Inc. fixes drainage and grading problems in Walnut Creek yards: water pooling on patios, runoff toward garages and foundations, and soggy clay after the rains. Owner Alonso does every estimate himself, and we hold California contractor license #1118886.
What matters on Walnut Creek lots
- Clay soil drains slowly, so water needs a planned path rather than soaking in.
- Driveways and yards that slope toward the garage are regraded so water moves away from the house.
- Hillside lots often need drainage behind retaining walls and at the base of slopes.
- Water is sent to a proper outlet on your property, never toward a neighbor.
Drainage & Grading questions from Walnut Creek
- Why does water pool in my Walnut Creek yard?
- Usually a mix of slow-draining clay and ground that slopes the wrong way. Alonso finds where the water starts and where it can go.
- Can you fix water running toward my garage?
- Yes. Regrading, surface drains or re-pitching the driveway or patio can send water away from the house.
- Do you add drainage behind retaining walls?
- Yes, it's part of every wall we build.
- Can drainage be done with a new patio?
- Yes, and that's the best time. We plan grading and drainage with the patio.
- Who does the estimate?
- Alonso, the owner, in person, in English or Spanish.
- How much does drainage work cost?
- It depends on the problem, the length of drain lines 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. 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.”
