Landscaping & hardscape
in Pittsburg
Pittsburg runs from century-old neighbourhoods to subdivisions finished last decade, and the two need different things. What they share is heat, wind off the delta and soil that moves.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Pittsburg 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 UsPlenty, if it is chosen for it. We plant for the climate you actually have rather than the one in the catalogue, and design irrigation to match.
Yes, and it is one of the more common jobs on newer lots. Regrading so water leaves the foundation, surface drains where it collects, hardscape built to shed.
Usually replace. Lifting concrete means the base has moved, and resurfacing hides that for about a season.
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.
Depends on scope and access. Written schedule with the written price, both before we start.
Serving Pittsburg
Twenty minutes east
We work out of Concord, a short run along the 4. Close enough for a site visit the same week and for the crew to be on site early rather than mid-morning.
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
Pittsburg lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Summer heat is a design input
East county summers are hard on planting and harder on anything unshaded. Plant selection, irrigation design and where you put shade decide whether a yard is usable in August or just visible from indoors.
Wind off the water
Delta wind dries soil faster, stresses young plants and makes exposed seating areas unpleasant. Screening and planting choices should account for it at the design stage.
Two eras of housing, two jobs
An older Pittsburg property usually needs the original concrete and drainage dealt with. A newer one usually needs the builder’s grading corrected. We price what is actually there.

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.
