Do you build retaining walls for steep El Cerrito properties?

Yes, structural retaining walls and hillside terracing are among our core specialties, turning unusable slopes into functional garden spaces.

What plants do you recommend for windy, exposed hillsides?

We select tough, wind-tolerant coastal varieties and native plants that can handle the exposure while anchoring the soil.

Do you handle the engineering permits for tall retaining walls?

For walls that exceed height limits and require engineering, we build strictly to code and can guide you through the El Cerrito permitting process.
