Our Story
Built on craft,
driven by accountability
DMG Landscape & Earthwork is a family-owned Bay Area contractor with a zero-tolerance policy for the excuses that plague our industry.
The Founder
Built from the ground up — literally
Dylan started DMG with a truck, a skid steer, and a conviction that Bay Area homeowners deserved better than the revolving-door contractors they kept dealing with — companies that would win the bid, subcontract the work, and disappear when something went wrong.
The model was simple from day one: hire only in-house crew, train them to one standard, and never hand off a project to someone outside the team. Fifteen years later, DMG has completed over 500 projects across Contra Costa, Alameda, and Marin counties with that same model, and the same owner on site for every significant build.
Today the company employs a full in-house team covering earthwork, hardscape, planting, irrigation, concrete, fencing, and commercial maintenance — all under one roof, all accountable to the same standard.
The Team
The same faces, start to finish
When you hire DMG, you meet the crew before work begins — and they stay on your project until it’s done.
Dylan oversees every design-build project personally and is your direct point of contact from estimate to handoff.
Expert in paver installation, retaining walls, and outdoor living structures. Over a decade on the DMG crew with zero call-backs on finished work.
Specializes in site grading, drainage, and excavation. Jorge has operated heavy equipment on Bay Area sites for over 12 years.
Certified horticulturist with expertise in Bay Area-native planting, irrigation design, and seasonal color planning for residential properties.
What We Stand For
The principles behind every project
Full Accountability
We own the result. No subcontractors to blame, no handoffs to shrug at. If something isn’t right, we fix it — no debate.
Honesty About Time & Cost
We tell you what something actually costs upfront — not what it takes to win the bid. We’d rather lose a job than make a promise we can’t keep.
Built to Last
California weather is hard on outdoor work. We spec materials and methods for durability, not for passing inspection and moving on.
Respect for Your Home
We treat your property the way we’d treat our own — clean site every evening, gates closed, no trash left behind, no crew you haven’t met.
Bay Area Knowledge
We know this region’s soils, drainage patterns, microclimates, and permit processes. That local expertise saves clients money and prevents expensive mistakes.
Community Roots
DMG is family-owned and based in the Bay Area. We live here, our clients are neighbors, and our reputation in this community is what we’ve built the business on.
