Landscaping in Belmont, CA

Belmont is a city of hills, and that terrain defines the work. From Belmont Heights to the slopes above Water Dog Lake, many properties need retaining walls, terracing, and drainage before a beautiful landscape is even possible — and that structural work is a core strength of ours.

What landscaping in Belmont takes

Steep, sloped lots make retaining walls, terracing, and hillside drainage the foundation of most Belmont projects — turning unusable grade into level, planted space.

Local know-how: Retaining walls over three to four feet typically need a permit in Belmont, and hillside drainage is critical to keep walls and slopes stable through wet winters. We engineer and permit the structural work properly.
