Paver Driveways in Orinda
Orinda driveways are hillside driveways: long, steep and often tight to turn around in. Building one that lasts is about base depth, the transitions at the street and the garage, and making sure water crossing the surface has somewhere to go.
What matters on Orinda lots
- Steep grades need planned slope transitions so vehicles do not scrape at either end.
- Base depth sized for the slope and the clay underneath it.
- Access and staging planned at the estimate — equipment size is decided before day one.
- Surface water routed to drains that handle leaf load from the canopy.
Paver Driveways questions from Orinda
- Can you work on a steep driveway?
- Yes. Slope transitions and base depth are the whole job on lots like these, and both are planned before work starts.
- Is access a problem?
- We plan it at the estimate so the crew is not improvising with equipment on a narrow drive.
- Can you add drainage at the same time?
- Yes, and on a hillside driveway it usually should be — the water under and across the surface is what shortens its life.

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.”
