Patios & Walkways in Lake Merritt, Oakland
Around Lake Merritt the lots are narrow and the homes are older, so a patio or walkway has to earn its footprint. We rebuild settled entry walks to an even, safe rise, lay compact backyard patios that leave room to actually use the yard, and match the stonework to the age of the house. On streets with no driveway, staging and haul-off are planned into the schedule from day one.
What matters on Lake Merritt, Oakland lots
- Settled walkways and steps are rebuilt on a proper base, not resurfaced over movement.
- Compact backyards are laid out on site so the patio leaves circulation space.
- Materials are chosen to suit older homes — stone looks, careful cuts at the edges.
- Tight street access is scheduled for: delivery windows, contained work area, clean haul-off.
Patios & Walkways questions from Lake Merritt, Oakland
- Can you fix a walkway that has sunk toward the house?
- Yes. We remove the settled section, correct the subgrade and rebuild it with fall away from the foundation.
- How big can a patio be in a small backyard?
- Usually smaller than people expect, laid out so there is still room to walk around the furniture. Alonso sketches the layout on site with you.
- Do you work without a driveway for staging?
- Yes. We plan deliveries and debris removal around street access and keep the sidewalk and neighbours' frontage clear.

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.”
