Finally, Outdoor Living That Works
You’re not just getting pavers and stones. You’re getting a space where your family actually wants to spend time. In a community of just 192 neighbors, your outdoor space becomes an extension of your home’s character. Our hardscaping creates the foundation for real outdoor living. Morning coffee on a custom patio that doesn’t shift or crack. Evening gatherings around a fire pit that’s built to last decades. Walkways that guide guests seamlessly from your driveway to your front door. The difference isn’t just in the materials we use—though we source the best. It’s in understanding that your outdoor space needs to work as hard as you do, year after year, through Bay Area weather and daily use.

Patio Installation Port Costa
Complete Hardscaping for Bay Area Living
Our hardscaping services cover everything your outdoor space needs. Patio installation using pavers, natural stone, or permeable materials that handle Bay Area drainage requirements. Retaining walls that solve slope challenges while adding visual appeal to your landscape. Outdoor kitchens designed for year-round entertaining, complete with proper gas lines and electrical work. Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that create gathering spaces for cool Port Costa evenings. Driveway pavers that enhance curb appeal while providing superior durability over traditional concrete. Contra Costa County’s varied terrain—from abundant water in the west to drier, sloped areas inland—requires contractors who understand local conditions. We design drainage solutions, select appropriate materials, and ensure every installation meets both your aesthetic goals and the practical demands of your specific location.
How long does a typical hardscaping project take in Port Costa?
Project timelines depend on scope and complexity, but most residential hardscaping projects take 1-3 weeks from start to finish. A simple patio installation typically takes 3-5 days, while comprehensive projects involving retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and multiple hardscape elements may take 2-3 weeks. Weather plays a role in scheduling, especially during Bay Area’s rainy season. We plan accordingly and communicate any adjustments to your timeline immediately. Your dedicated project manager provides weekly updates, so you always know where things stand. Our “Never Get Burnt Guarantee” means we don’t rush to collect payment—we focus on completing your project to your satisfaction, which often means we finish faster than contractors who cut corners.
What permits are required for hardscaping projects in Port Costa?
Permit requirements vary based on project scope, but we handle all permitting as part of our service. Simple patio installations typically don’t require permits, while retaining walls over certain heights, outdoor kitchens with gas lines, and projects affecting drainage do require county approval. As licensed contractors in Contra Costa County, we understand local building codes and have the specialized engineering knowledge required for challenging projects. We submit all applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure your project meets all requirements. This is one advantage of working with a properly licensed contractor rather than a handyman or unlicensed installer. You get peace of mind knowing everything is done legally and safely, protecting both your investment and your property value.
How do you handle drainage issues with hardscaping installations?
Proper drainage is critical for hardscaping longevity, especially in Contra Costa County’s varied terrain. We start every project with a thorough site assessment, identifying existing drainage patterns and potential problem areas. For standard installations, we create proper base preparation with graded gravel and sand layers that direct water away from your home’s foundation. For more complex situations, we install French drains, channel drains, or recommend permeable pavers that allow water to filter through naturally. The county’s abundant water in western areas and drier conditions inland create unique challenges as soil shifts and voids can form. Our experience with local conditions means we anticipate these issues and design solutions that prevent future problems rather than just addressing immediate concerns.
What's included in your "Never Get Burnt Guarantee"?
Our “Never Get Burnt Guarantee” means exactly what it says—you never pay upfront, and you don’t pay final payment until you’re completely satisfied with the completed work. This policy protects you from the horror stories you hear about contractors who take money and disappear. We provide flexible financing options, including programs for energy-efficient upgrades, so you can invest in your outdoor space without financial stress. Payment schedules are tied to project milestones, and the final payment isn’t due until you’ve had time to inspect everything thoroughly. This guarantee is backed by our BBB accreditation and four decades of combined experience. We’ve built our reputation on completing projects properly, on time, and to our clients’ satisfaction. When you’re confident in your work, guaranteeing customer satisfaction isn’t risky—it’s just good business.
Do you provide maintenance services for hardscaping after installation?
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance services including paver sealing, joint sand replacement, pressure washing, and repair services. Proper maintenance extends the life of your hardscaping investment and keeps it looking like new for decades. Paver sealing should be done every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. We use commercial-grade sealers that protect against stains, UV damage, and weed growth while enhancing the natural colors of your materials. Our maintenance programs are designed around Bay Area conditions. We understand which materials perform best in our climate and can spot potential issues before they become expensive problems. Many of our clients schedule annual maintenance visits to keep their outdoor spaces in perfect condition year-round.
How do you protect existing landscaping during hardscaping installation?
Site protection is a standard part of every DoPro Construction project. We use protective barriers around existing plants, trees, and lawn areas, and lay protective materials over driveways and walkways to prevent damage from equipment and materials. Before starting any excavation, we hand-mark utilities and irrigation lines to avoid costly damages. Our crews are trained to work carefully around mature landscaping—we understand that replacing established plants can be expensive and time-consuming. We also coordinate with your existing landscape maintenance team if you have one, ensuring that ongoing care continues smoothly during construction. Our optional cleaning service at project completion includes removing any construction dust from surrounding plants and restoring affected lawn areas to their original condition.
