Cowan & Thompson Construction - Martinez's Local Landscaping Services

In Martinez, compacted soil from foot traffic, poor drainage on sloped lots, and inconsistent irrigation often lead to bare spots where weeds take over. As licensed general engineering contractors with extensive landscaping experience, we address the root cause. This can involve grading for proper drainage, amending soil, and installing efficient irrigation systems as part of a new landscape construction or repair project. A properly built and maintained landscape is your first defense against persistent weed issues.

Given our hillside location, proper retaining wall construction is crucial for safety and erosion control. Since 1987, we've specialized in this exact work. Our process begins with a site evaluation to understand soil composition and drainage needs specific to your property. We then engineer and construct the wall using quality masonry or concrete techniques, ensuring it not only looks great but also manages water runoff effectively to protect your landscape and home's foundation, a key consideration in our area.

Yes, as a full-service general contractor, we manage the entire process from concept to completion. For a patio or porch installation, this includes initial design consultation, securing any necessary permits from the City of Martinez, all masonry and construction work, and final cleanup. Our role is to coordinate every step, using our longstanding relationships with local suppliers and our expertise in exterior construction to deliver a seamless project for you.
