Retaining Walls in San Ramon
Many San Ramon backyards back onto slopes, and clay soil holds water that pushes on any wall built against it. We build retaining walls with a compacted footing, drain rock and a drain line behind the wall so water has somewhere to go.
What matters on San Ramon lots
- Drainage behind the wall is built in, not added later.
- Walls can create level space for a patio, lawn or garden on a sloped lot.
- Block, stone and wall styles are shown on site so they match the home.
- Larger walls that may need city review are flagged at the estimate.
Retaining Walls questions from San Ramon
- Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in San Ramon?
- It depends on height, load and location. Alonso flags walls that may need review, and the City of San Ramon has the final word.
- Why do retaining walls fail?
- Most often because water builds up behind them. That is why drainage is part of every wall we build.
- 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.”
“Viktor listened to my concerns about my cracked driveway and came up with a creative, cost-effective solution that worked perfectly.
