Landscaping & hardscape
in Martinez
Martinez has some of the oldest housing in the county and some of the steepest residential streets. Both change what a project involves — access, drainage and what is already under the ground. We work that out before quoting, not after.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Martinez 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.

Questions about working
in Martinez
Have a question we haven’t answered? Call or send a message — we respond within 24 hours.
Contact UsUsually replace, and usually because the problem is underneath. Sixty- or eighty-year-old concrete that is lifting is telling you the base has moved. Resurfacing hides that for a season.
Sometimes, sometimes not — and on the hillside streets it is a real question. We check gate widths, slope and parking at the free site visit. If it has to be done by hand or with smaller machines we say so then, and the price reflects it.
Generally it depends on height. California’s building code exempts retaining walls up to four feet from the bottom of the footing to the top; above that, or where the wall supports a slope or driveway, a permit is normally required. We confirm with the city before designing.
Yes, and on the hillside lots it is often the main job. French drains, surface drains, regrading, and hardscape built to shed rather than trap.
Depends on access and earthwork, which is exactly why we walk the property first. You get a written schedule alongside the written price.
Serving Martinez
Fifteen minutes north
We run out of Concord, a short drive from Martinez. Close enough that site visits happen the same week and the crew starts the day on your property rather than on the road.
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
Martinez lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Older homes, older everything
Much of Martinez predates modern drainage and modern concrete practice. What is under an old driveway is often not what you would expect, which is why we dig a test hole before pricing rather than guessing.
Streets that climb
The hillside streets above downtown mean narrow access, tight driveways and sometimes no route for a machine to the back of the property. We check that during the walkthrough, because it changes both schedule and price.
Weather off the strait
Proximity to the water means damp winters and wind. Material choices and drainage detailing matter more here than a few miles inland.

We cover most of
Contra Costa County
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.
