Services
Landscape Construction
Our landscape construction service transforms outdoor environments with durable, functional designs. We execute complete site builds including grading, drainage systems, and multi-material installations. Clients receive customized solutions integrating native plants with structural elements like wooden decks and concrete pathways. Every project undergoes rigorous quality checks during the 6-12 month average construction cycle.
Concrete Construction
Specialized concrete work includes decorative retaining walls, driveways, and architectural features. We employ board-formed techniques and colored concrete for both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Projects incorporate thermal expansion joints and waterproofing membranes to ensure longevity in the Bay Area's varied climate conditions.
Retaining Walls
Engineered retaining walls combine functionality with visual appeal using segmental blocks or poured concrete. Our team designs multi-tiered systems with built-in drainage channels to stabilize slopes while complementing surrounding architecture. Each structure undergoes soil analysis and load calculations before construction begins.
Custom Benches
We create durable seating solutions from reclaimed redwood and Thermory hardwood. Concrete bench integration with planters or fire features is available. All wood undergoes weatherproof treatment while stainless steel hardware prevents corrosion, ensuring maintenance-free enjoyment through California's climate extremes.
Fire Features
Custom fire features combine concrete and natural stone with gas or wood-burning systems. Our designs incorporate safety-rated fireproof materials and proper ventilation. Each installation includes CSA certified components with options for built-in seating or removable safety screens.
