Retaining Walls in Orinda
In Orinda, the retaining wall and the drainage plan are the same project. Hillside pads shed water downhill, and a wall that ignores it is a wall that moves. We build walls and terraces with interceptor drains, discharge outlets and clean-outs as part of the scope.
What matters on Orinda lots
- Walls and drainage designed as one system, not two jobs.
- Terracing turns steep, wooded slopes into usable level areas.
- Narrow access sets equipment size, planned at the estimate.
- Canopy leaf load means grates and clean-outs on every drain line.
Retaining Walls questions from Orinda
- Can a steep slope become usable yard?
- Often, with terracing and steps. We walk it with you and say what is realistic before you spend anything.
- How do you handle hillside water?
- Interception uphill, a defined path through the property and a legal outlet at the end.
- Do walls need maintenance?
- The drains need to keep working, so clean-outs and grates are placed where they can be serviced.

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.”
