Landscaping & hardscape
in Brentwood
Brentwood yards are big, flat and hot, and most of them started as farmland. That means space to work with, soil worth testing, and a climate that decides the plant list for you.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Brentwood homeowners
hire DMG
Hiring a contractor is mostly a question of whether the person quoting is the person who turns up. Here is what you get with us.
One in-house crew
The same faces from the first walkthrough to the final clean-up. No subcontractors, ever — so nobody shows up not knowing what was agreed.
The price in writing first
A detailed written proposal before anyone breaks ground, and a fixed price we hold to. No surprise change orders halfway through.
Built for Contra Costa clay
Deeper excavation, a compacted base that absorbs seasonal movement, and joints placed where the slab wants to crack. The reason our work is still flat years later.
Design and build together
One company draws it and one company builds it. Nothing gets lost in the handoff between a designer and whoever ends up holding the shovel.
A reply within 24 hours
Every enquiry answered within one business day, and a direct line to the person actually running your project once it starts.
Licensed and insured
Fully licensed and insured, with references a few streets away. Ask and we will point you at work you can go and look at.

Contact UsSometimes. Compaction layers and old irrigation lines are common, and both are easier to deal with before the design is set. We dig test holes rather than assume.
Plenty, chosen properly. We plant for Brentwood rather than for a catalogue photo, and design irrigation to water deeply and less often.
Yes. The work is giving a big space structure and planning drainage and irrigation end to end.
Generally depends on height. California’s building code exempts walls up to four feet from the bottom of the footing to the top; above that a permit is normally required. We confirm with the city before designing.
It is a real distance and we would rather say so. We plan longer site days, and the written price is the price.
Serving Brentwood
Forty minutes east
We run out of Concord, so Brentwood is at the edge of our range. We plan full site days rather than short visits, and we are upfront about that at the quote.
We are a design-and-build outfit, so one company handles the drawing, the earthwork, the hardscape and the planting. Every service below is ours — none of it is handed to a subcontractor once you have signed.
What We Run Into Here
What we run into
on these properties
Brentwood lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Farmland soil is its own thing
Ground that grew orchards for decades has a history — compaction layers, old irrigation, sometimes hardpan. Finding that before the design is finished is much cheaper than finding it with a machine.
Heat decides the planting
Brentwood summers are among the hottest in the Bay Area. A plant list that ignores that is a replanting bill in two years. We choose for the actual climate.
Big lots, long water runs
On a large parcel, irrigation design and drainage routing matter as much as the planting. Getting water efficiently to where it is needed and away from where it is not is most of the engineering.

We run out of Concord, which puts nearly every town on this map inside a half-hour drive. That is the difference between a contractor who can walk your property this week and one who fits you in next month.
Not sure whether you are in range? Call and ask — and if we are not the right fit, we will usually know someone who is.
