Why DMG?
The Bay Area landscaper
that actually shows up
One in-house team. Fixed pricing. No subcontractors. Ever. Here’s why that matters — and why hundreds of Bay Area homeowners have trusted DMG with their properties.
How Are We Different?
The way it should have always been done
We know how hard it is to find a contractor you can actually trust. That’s exactly why we built DMG differently — one team, full accountability, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
What most homeowners put up with
- Subcontractors you've never met showing up on your property
- Missed deadlines with no explanation or accountability
- Design and build handled by separate teams who don't talk
- Surprise charges after you've already signed a contract
- Calling around just to get an update on your own project
- Work that looks great at first — and falls apart after one winter
The way it should have always been done
- One dedicated in-house crew — the same faces, start to finish
- On-time, on-budget delivery with a detailed written schedule
- Design and build under one roof — zero handoff gaps
- Transparent, fixed pricing — no surprises, ever
- Direct line to your project lead — real answers, same day
- Built to last — CA-tough craftsmanship and materials behind every project
What We Stand For
The principles behind every project
Full Accountability
We own the result. No subcontractors to blame, no handoffs to shrug at. If something isn’t right, we fix it — no debate.
Honesty About Time & Cost
We tell you what something actually costs upfront — not what it takes to win the bid. We’d rather lose a job than make a promise we can’t keep.
Built to Last
California weather is hard on outdoor work. We spec materials and methods for durability, not for passing inspection and moving on.
Respect for Your Home
We treat your property the way we’d treat our own — clean site every evening, gates closed, no trash left behind, no crew you haven’t met.
Bay Area Knowledge
We know this region’s soils, drainage patterns, microclimates, and permit processes. That local expertise saves clients money and prevents expensive mistakes.
Community Roots
DMG is family-owned and based in the Bay Area. We live here, our clients are neighbors, and our reputation in this community is what we’ve built the business on.

Contact UsMost general contractors subcontract the actual work to crews they don’t directly manage. DMG performs every trade in-house — earthwork, hardscape, planting, concrete, fencing, and more — with our own trained crew. That means one point of accountability, consistent quality, and no handoff gaps.
Never. Every project is completed by our own in-house crew. This means consistent quality, clear accountability, and one point of contact from the first stake to final cleanup. We built the company this way intentionally — because we’ve seen what happens when contractors hand off work to people they can’t vouch for.
We provide a fixed quote after the initial consultation. Because many variables — site conditions, scope, materials, and access — can all affect the final cost, we need to walk the property before we can give you an accurate number. Once we do, your quote is fixed: no surprise add-ons, ever.
Fill out the contact form or give us a call. We’ll schedule a free on-site consultation, walk your property, and provide a detailed written proposal within a few days. No pressure, no commitment — most people find that one visit clarifies everything.
We primarily serve the East Bay and surrounding communities — Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Orinda, Danville, Alamo, Martinez, and Brentwood. Reach out if you’re unsure whether we cover your location.
DMG was founded in 2010. Over fifteen years we’ve completed more than 500 projects across the Bay Area — everything from small drainage fixes to full design-build outdoor living spaces. We’re still family-owned and operate the same way we always have.
Yes. DMG holds a valid California contractor’s license and carries full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We can provide certificates of insurance on request before any work begins.
We do a final walkthrough with you before any payment milestone closes. If something isn’t right, we fix it — no argument, no charge. Our reputation is built project by project, and we take every one personally.
