Retaining Walls in Lafayette
Lafayette lots are cut into hillsides, and the walls that hold them are only as good as the drainage behind them. We build retaining walls and terraces with the water management built in — interceptor drains uphill, discharge to a legal outlet, clean-outs the canopy's leaf load demands.
What matters on Lafayette lots
- Cut-and-fill pads mean the wall and the drainage are designed together.
- Runoff from uphill neighbours is intercepted before it loads the wall.
- Terracing recovers level yard on steep wooded lots.
- Walls above the local height threshold get engineering, flagged at the estimate.
Retaining Walls questions from Lafayette
- Do you build tall hillside walls?
- Yes, and where engineering is required we tell you before work starts rather than after.
- Can you stop water coming from the uphill property?
- Usually, with an interceptor drain along the upslope side routed to a legal outlet on your property.
- What material holds up best?
- We walk the slope with you and recommend based on the soil, the load above and the look you want.

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.”

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.”
