Landscapers Pleasant Hill CA | Call Rohlicek Landscape Company

Retaining walls are excellent for managing slope and drainage in Pleasant Hill's varied terrain. We design and install retaining walls that redirect water flow away from your home's foundation, prevent soil erosion on sloped properties, and create terraced areas that improve water absorption. Properly constructed retaining walls with adequate drainage behind them can solve common local pooling problems and protect your landscape investment.

In Pleasant Hill's climate, proper slope and material selection are crucial. We install patios and walkways with a slight grade (typically 1-2%) away from your home to ensure water runoff. We recommend permeable materials like gravel or certain pavers that allow water drainage, and we always include proper base preparation with compacted gravel to prevent settling and water pooling. This approach helps avoid the irrigation timer failures that often occur when water accumulates around hardscape features.

We take a holistic approach by integrating drainage solutions with your irrigation system during landscape construction. This includes installing French drains or dry wells in problem areas, grading the landscape to direct water away from structures, and positioning irrigation zones to avoid oversaturation. By addressing both elements simultaneously, we create landscapes that are both beautiful and functional, preventing the common local issues of standing water and irrigation system malfunctions.
