What neighbors say
“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. The team worked tirelessly from morning until night and never skipped a day, staying on schedule and completing the job within the proposed time period. The quality of the work was outstanding--my driveway looks beautiful now, and the entire process was seamless.”

Lafayette questions
- Who fixes hillside drainage in Lafayette?
- Golden Hills Landscape, Inc., a licensed and insured hardscape contractor (CA License #1118886). Owner Alfonso has completed retaining wall and stairway restoration in Lafayette and assesses hillside drainage in person.
- Why do retaining walls fail on Lafayette hillsides?
- Usually water. Pressure builds behind a wall with no drainage path and pushes it forward. Drain rock, pipe and a legal outlet are part of every wall we build or rebuild.
- Can an old stone wall be restored instead of replaced?
- Sometimes. On Georgeta's Lafayette project the vintage wall was restored. Whether that works depends on how far it has moved; Alfonso tells you after the site visit.
- How much does it cost?
- It depends on the cause, slope, access and materials. We do not quote from a price list; you get a free written estimate after the site visit.
