Built for San Rafael Homes and Hillsides
San Rafael has a little of everything: hillside lots in neighborhoods like Sun Valley and Dominican, flatter mid-century homes in Terra Linda, and older homes with tight side yards near downtown. That means very different hardscape needs from street to street. On sloped lots we build engineered retaining walls and steps that hold soil in place through the rainy season. On flat lots we focus on paver driveways, patios and pool decks that drain properly and look great for decades.

Permits and Planning
Taller retaining walls, and walls that hold up a driveway or slope, generally need a building permit from the City of San Rafael. We'll tell you up front whether your project is likely to need one and help you through the process.
