Elmer PG Landscaping Construction | Expert Landscaping in Oakland, CA

The first step is a site assessment to identify the cause, which in Oakland is often related to soil compaction, drainage issues, or specific sun exposure. Our approach starts with earthmoving or regrading to correct the underlying problem, followed by soil amendment and selecting the right grass or ground cover for our local climate. Proper irrigation design is then integrated to ensure the new lawn establishes well and stays healthy long-term.

Yes, absolutely. We offer integrated design and construction services for hardscaping projects. Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your vision for the patio and the functional need for the retaining wall, especially important for many Oakland properties with slopes. We then handle all construction, from excavation and proper drainage for the wall to the precise installation of your patio materials, ensuring a cohesive and structurally sound result.

For Oakland rock gardens, shifting is often due to improper base preparation or erosion. Our construction process includes excavating and compacting a stable sub-base and installing a quality landscape fabric barrier to suppress weeds. We strategically place and secure larger rocks and use appropriate, low-maintenance drought-tolerant plants suited to the micro-climate of your yard. For existing gardens, our shrub care and disease management services can revitalize the planting scheme to maintain stability and aesthetics.
