Retaining Walls in Alamo
Sloped Alamo yards often need retaining walls to create level, usable space. We build them with a compacted footing and drainage behind the wall, so clay soil and winter rain don't push them over time.
What matters on Alamo lots
- Drain rock and drain line behind every wall.
- Walls sized to create level space for patios, lawn or planting.
- Block and stone options shown on site.
- Walls that may need city or county review are flagged at the estimate.
Retaining Walls questions from Alamo
- Do I need a permit?
- It depends on height, load and location. Alonso flags walls that may need review; Contra Costa County has the final word for unincorporated Alamo.
- Why is drainage so important?
- Water trapped behind a wall is the most common reason walls lean or fail.
- Who does the estimate?
- Alonso, the owner, in person.

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.”
