Landscaping & hardscape
in Pleasanton
Pleasanton runs from century-old downtown lots to subdivisions built last decade, and the two need almost opposite things. We price what is actually in front of us rather than a template.

“Would highly recommend. We went from tired looking and outdated to a very professional looking landscape at the front of our home.”

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Pleasanton 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.

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.

in Pleasanton

Contact UsYes — Pleasanton and Dublin are at the southern end of our range.
Usually yes. Access is tighter, what is underground is less predictable, and the finish needs to suit the house. We dig test holes before pricing.
Yes, and it is one of the more common jobs. Regrading, surface drains, hardscape built to shed.
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 era, access and scope — which is why we walk it first. Written schedule with the written price.
Serving Pleasanton
Thirty-five minutes down the 680
We work out of Concord. Pleasanton is in Alameda County, at the southern edge of our range — close enough for a site visit the same week, far enough that we plan full site 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
Pleasanton lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Two housing eras, two problems
A downtown lot usually needs original concrete, drainage and sometimes utilities dealt with. A newer one usually needs builder grading corrected. The quote should look different, and ours does.
Older lots hide their history
On a property that has been there a century, irrigation, drainage and old footings are rarely where you would guess. We locate before we dig.
Summer heat, inland valley
The Tri-Valley gets hot. Shade, plant selection and irrigation efficiency decide whether a yard is usable in August.

Also Serving
We reach south into
the Tri-Valley
Pleasanton 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.
