Landscaping & hardscape
in Dublin
Dublin is mostly new, mostly compact and mostly governed by an association. That makes the job a design problem more than an earthwork one — every square foot has to earn its place, and the plans have to pass review.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Dublin 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.

What our clients say
We let the work — and the people who live with it — speak for themselves.
What We Do in Walnut Creek
Every service, one crew,
no handoffs
Design, earthwork, hardscape and planting are all ours. That is why the drainage gets solved before the patio goes down, instead of becoming someone else’s problem after it.

Questions about working
in Dublin
Have a question we haven’t answered? Call or send a message — we respond within 24 hours.
Contact UsYes. Dublin and Pleasanton are at the southern end of our range and we work in both.
Yes, and mention it at the first meeting so we prepare the submission in the form your association expects.
With what you want to do in it, not with materials. On a compact lot the layout decides everything.
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.
Less than a big one, but we still walk it before quoting a schedule.
Serving Dublin
Thirty-five minutes down the 680
We work out of Concord. Dublin is in Alameda County rather than Contra Costa, at the southern end of where we work — close enough for a site visit the same week, far enough that we plan full days.
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
Dublin lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Compact lots punish bad layout
On a small newer yard there is no slack. Circulation, proportion and deciding what the space is actually for come before any material gets chosen.
Associations review exteriors
Most Dublin neighbourhoods review exterior work before it starts. Submissions without dimensioned plans and material specifications come back. We prepare them properly.
New build, builder grading
A ten-year-old house still sits on soil that moves, and production grading is done to pass inspection rather than to serve you for decades. Correcting it is usually simple.

Also Serving
We reach south into
the Tri-Valley
Dublin is in Alameda County, at the southern end of where we work. We are straight about the distance: it means full site days rather than quick visits, and it is reflected in the written price rather than discovered later.
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.
