Residential Landscape Terracing
Turn your sloped backyard into a series of step-like sections with landscape terracing, transforming each level into a multi-use entertainment zone with the addition of:
- Patios and decking
- Pergolas
- Fire and water features
- Plunge pool or spa
- Outdoor kitchen and dining
- Garden beds
- And other custom features
Retaining Wall Installation for Bay Area Homes
Transform a steep hillside into a valuable home feature with a retaining wall. Unlike the step-like construction of terraces, retaining walls utilize a single, structural vertical wall to hold back soil. We offer many custom retaining wall design options, including natural stone, brick, and decorative concrete, and more, to ensure beauty and function.
Outdoor Stone Stairways
Turn your Bay Area backyard into a single, cohesive, functional outdoor living space, uniting upper and lower levels, with a series of low stone steps or pathways and integrated landscape lighting. Our experienced residential landscape design contractors have the skills to improve accessibility and make navigation easier, eliminating slips and falls on steep, uneven terrain. We offer a variety of beautiful hardscaping options to enhance your property, including flagstone, bluestone, basalt, fieldstone, sandstone, sealed slate, limestone, and granite.
Layered Planting
Layered planting, or arranging plants in tiers, offers an ideal solution for terraced or hillside properties. Our experienced horticulturists start with the tallest plants on the upper slope, including trees and shrubs for aesthetics, shade, and wind protection. Medium height flowering and textured bushes and ornamental grasses adorn the mid-slope, adding visual interest and seasonal color. At the base of the slope, groundcover, small shrubs, and perennials provide a natural transition. We provide personalized design, including sustainable, drought-tolerant, and pollinator-friendly options that reflect your style and complement your home.
