Retaining Walls in Martinez
Martinez has a lot of hillside homes and older yards where the slope comes right down to the house. Golden Hills Landscape, Inc. builds retaining walls here to hold that ground back and create level, usable space. We're a short drive away in Bay Point, and owner Alonso does every estimate himself. The closest finished wall on our site is our Walnut Creek hillside job, shown on our projects page.
What matters on Martinez lots
- Walls get a compacted base and drainage behind them, because trapped water in clay is what pushes walls over.
- Terraced walls can turn one steep slope into two or three usable levels.
- Walls and steps are planned together so the yard is safe to walk.
- Taller walls can need city review. We tell you at the estimate if yours may, and the City of Martinez can confirm.

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.”
