Featured Reviews for Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward

Ferdinand Castillo Landscape Architect
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2015
“Ferdi Castillo is an amazing talent with landscape design, who also happens to be kind, warm and funny too. A delight to work with and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. Our home has a very difficult site, a huge elevation gain/drop, limited space, just a weird, bizarre site. What he created surpassed anything I could ever come up with and he was very flexible with our limited budget. We now are using our space so much more efficiently than ever before. He is so easy to talk to and work with, we were sad when our project ended with him. I would absolutely recommend him. Friends of ours, neighbors, etc. come over and notice our big changes and ask who the genius is behind it: Ferdi Castillo. Hire him, your yard (and family) will thank you!”
Bonnie Brock Landscape Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 9, 2014
“Bonnie designed my backyard landscaping and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She designed a beautiful paver patio surrounded with a lush garden of plants. She is committed to low water, low maintenance, and organic gardening.”
Monica Perrone Landscape Architecture
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 17, 2014
“Monica Perrone was wonderful to work with. She helped our group from start to finish in achieving our landscape goals. Monica drew out samples and explained in detail what our thoughts would look like in reality. She made knowledgeable suggestions of what types of plants would work best for our project and the reasons for these ideas. The plan even detailed the projection of long term water use needed for the area and the plants. Our project looks beautiful and we are very happy with the end result, all thanks to Monica Perrone's expertise.”
Kristen Rudger Landscape Design
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 12, 2013
“Kristen designed a beautiful makeover for our yard - front, back and sides. She asked lots of questions before designing anything - what we wanted (pavers, pretty flowers), what we didn't want (water feature, yellow flowers) and in general, how we wanted to use our yard. She came up with lovely, detailed plans for a traditional looking garden (with our traditional looking house) - that were revised slightly with discussion, then found a couple of contractors to bid on the work. She supervised the work of the one we chose, making sure they followed the plans. She recommended a new gardner - good choice. About a year later she replaced the few plants that hadn't made it (for no charge), and now almost two years later the place is absolutely beautiful! I can't tell you how many complements we have received ever since the job was originally completed - and they continue to this day!”

“David was amazing to work with! He was easy going and very open to our ideas for our small yard. He never made us feel like our wants were too much and worked with us to include all of our wishlist. He was able to design the whole property, and was very knowledgeable with the plants he recommended. We got the final copies of the plans in a timely manner and he was overall a pleasure to work with. He really made us feel like our small space was important to him!”
Alderland - SF Bay Area Pool & Landscape Co.
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 29, 2011
“I just completed a remodel of my pool and landscaping with the Alder Group, and simply stated I could not be happier. From the first meeting until the project was completed, Don always looked for ways to improve the project and at the same time ways to minimize the cost of the project. His keen eye for design saw needed simple improvements that were relatively inexpensive but had a massive effect on the overall beauty of the project. Perhaps most importantly when the manufacturer delivered the wrong custom coping, and I worried that we would not be able to meet the deadline of a large party that was planned for my backyard; Don found a way to resolve the issue and keep the job on schedule. Don is truly one of the good guys.”
Past the Gate
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2013
“Past the Gate did a beautiful job with a new patio I purchased as a gift for my daughter at her home. Greg and his staff were friendly and very professional and I would use them again in an instant (in fact, I have now used them two years in a row for improvements to my daughter's property in Berkeley!)”
Jeff Wortham & Associates
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 17, 2014
“My husband and I wanted to redo our back yard and decided to look for a landscape architect. Jeff Wortham & Associates was the first website I found. While navigating his website I found picture after picture of how I invisioned my soon to be yard. After viewing one of Jeff's many videos on his website I felt he was the arcitect for us. When we met with Jeff my husband and I were impressed with his experience, knowledge of design, as well as, tree's and plants. He is easy to talk to and takes the time to fully explain your project from start to finish. It has been our pleasure working with Jeff.”
Miller Landscape Architecture
Hardscaping Contractors in Hayward
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 24, 2014
“Sue Miller of Miller Landscape Architecture took our weedy, uneven, unusable backyard and transformed it into a beautiful terraced garden perfect for relaxing and entertaining. She patiently listened to our thoughts and concerns, and designed and developed a plan that reflects our lifestyle. We now have expansive outdoor living space that fully suits our needs, including native plant gardens, lawn, horseshoe pit play area, deck/pergola, multiple flights of custom cut flagstone stairs, and a flagstone patio. We benefitted from Sue's design talent and construction experience, as well as her ease in working with contractors. She kept us updated throughout a multi-phased construction process, while providing suggestions and soliciting our input. We highly recommend working with Miller Landscape Architecture.”

“David did an exquisite job with my yard: it's an oasis and I spend as much time as I can outside taking it in. it's easy-maintenance, beautiful all seasons, and simply peaceful. The process was painless, and David listened carefully to what I wanted and "got" who I am. Moreover, he was mindful of my budget, and I never felt like I had to give up anything. Over the years I have contacted him with questions, and he has always been generous with his time and ideas. He is knowledgeable, talented, and creative. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his work!”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration of a hardscaping project can vary widely depending on the projectʼs complexity, size, material availability, and weather conditions. Smaller projects like a simple patio can take a few days to a week, while larger projects like a complete outdoor kitchen or extensive retaining walls can take several weeks to months. An experienced contractor will provide a realistic timeline upfront, factoring in planning, design approvals, and potential unforeseen delays.
Your hardscaping contractor is a valuable resource in selecting materials that are durable, suitable for your climate, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that the design complements your homeʼs exterior and landscape. They can inform you about the latest trends, such as sustainable and eco-friendly materials, or timeless designs that maintain their appeal. However, trends should be balanced with personal preference and long-term practicality.
Homeowners should clarify their budget, design preferences, and functionality needs. Researching and having inspirational images or a vision board can help communicate your ideas to the contractor effectively. Itʼs also crucial to clear the project area of personal items and, if necessary, secure permits or ensure the contractor handles permit acquisition. Discussing logistics like project access, noise, and dust management upfront can prevent misunderstandings.
Effective communication between homeowners and contractors is key to addressing challenges. Setting clear expectations, having a detailed contract, and establishing regular updates can mitigate issues. Challenges such as weather delays, unexpected ground conditions, or material shortages require flexibility and understanding from both parties. An experienced contractor will manage these challenges professionally, keeping the project on track as much as possible.
When meeting with a potential contractor, inquire about their experience with projects similar to yours, their process from design to completion, timeline and budget estimation, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Itʼs also important to ask for references, certification, insurance details, and how communication will be handled throughout the project. This ensures transparency and sets the foundation for a successful partnership.
Yes, many contractors now offer eco-friendly hardscaping options, such as permeable paving, recycled materials, and locally sourced stones, which reduce environmental impact and can improve your homeʼs sustainability. Discussing these options with your contractor can reveal opportunities to incorporate green practices into your project, from reducing runoff with permeable surfaces to selecting materials that require less energy to produce and transport.
