My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Dry Well Contractors in San Francisco

SouthBay Design and Landscaping
Dry Well Contractors in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 11, 2026
“Southbay Design and Landscaping was recommended by my landscape designer to implement her plans for replacing the old falling-apart deck in our backyard and to do some landscaping and hardscaping, including lighting, a fountain, pavers, garden beds, irrigation, and a fire pit. My husband and I could not be happier with their high-quality and detailed work. The new deck was not only laid out beautifully, but extremely well constructed. We were particularly impressed by the sub-structure of the deck, where no corners were cut. It is heavy-duty, with meticulous care taken to the waterproofing and drainage underneath. Matt’s crew consisted of hard working and skilled professionals, all of whom were delightful to work with. I am sure that we will enjoy our lovely backyard for many years to come, and I could not thank Southbay more or recommend them more highly.”
Lifescape Custom Landscaping, Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 8, 2024
“Lifescape did a great job of helping us completely redo our backyard. They began the work almost before we were done designing it so there was a lot of back and forth help which was most appreciated. The workers were great - friendly, respectful, and did a great job even as sometimes parameters changed. The foreman managed the project well and was responsive to questions and changes. We now have a lovely backyard - new grass, plantings, new patio pavers and we love it! They do a great job of maintaining our yard weekly as well. They'll do a great job for you, too!”
Mariposa Gardening & Design Cooperative, Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 17, 2022
“Mariposa Gardening & Design did a fantastic job on my large and hilly backyard. Stayed on schedule, within the quoted budget, responsive to emails. Great communication. I was very impressed with the work ethic of the crew that did the work. I never saw anyone taking time to check their phones. They came here to work and that’s what they did. The follow-up garden care, included with the service came when they said they would, checked the plants, fertilized, moved a few that needed moving and replaced a couple that were not doing well. Very responsive to questions - and the workers are all kind and good natured people. Working with them was very pleasant. Would highly recommend them!”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the complexity of the project, ranging from a couple of days to several weeks. Preliminary assessment, design phase, obtaining permits, excavation, installation, and landscaping restoration are the main phases. A straightforward project might take a few days, whereas a more complex system involving multiple dry wells or challenging site conditions might take longer.
Materials selection is guided by local soil conditions, the volume of water to be managed, and environmental regulations. Common materials include gravel, perforated pipes, and precast concrete well structures. Design trends lean towards eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solutions, incorporating rain gardens or landscaping features that complement the dry well system while enhancing the propertyʼs appearance.
Homeowners should clear the project area of personal belongings and provide contractors with access. Itʼs beneficial to discuss with your contractor any concerns about landscaping or features you wish to preserve. Ensure you understand the scope of work and have agreed on a project timeline. Also, verifying that the contractor has obtained the necessary permits is crucial.
Experienced contractors anticipate challenges such as unforeseen underground utilities, poor soil conditions, or water table issues. They often perform thorough site assessments and may adjust the design, involve additional expertise, or utilize specific construction techniques to overcome these challenges. Effective communication throughout the project ensures homeowners are kept informed of any adjustments.
Ideally, look for contractors who have specific experience with dry well systems, hold certifications from reputable organizations in the field of stormwater management, and possess a solid understanding of local environmental regulations. References from past projects similar to yours and a history of compliance with building codes are also key indicators of a reliable contractor.
A reputable contractor should offer guarantees for their work and be willing to address any post-installation issues. Ensure thereʼs a clear contract in place that outlines the scope of work, warranty terms, and dispute resolution procedures. Regular maintenance checks and open lines of communication can help mitigate potential issues before they become significant problems.
