San Jose has varying topography; it is bordered by the hill side residential areas of Almaden Valley and Evergreen and the flat residential areas of Willow Glen, Cambrian and Blossom Valley. Since most houses are located on uneven grounds or transitional terrains, retaining walls are significant in soil stabilization, erosion control, and the outdoor landscaping that is safe and can be utilized all through the year.
In the hilly region around the communications hill or foothills around the Silver Creek and Alum Rock we provide solutions that are designed to last and look good and perform over the long term. You may want to paint a new wall or strengthen a fading one, so we are the people to make your landscape firm and stable.
We are in the business of constructing and repairing the retaining walls that have been specifically designed to suit the terrain of Alamo. We know the effects of soil movement, drainage, and pressure on hillside on outdoor structures and we are providing solutions to help secure your home and increase the functionality and beauty of your landscape.

We use a pragmatic, aesthetic-driven process in order to provide you with a retaining wall that performs and makes your outside space look good. The difference in our work is as follows:
The outcome is a retaining that enhances your landscape besides providing aesthetic value and permanence.
A retaining wall is not just a wall, it is an investment that should be reliable, constructed with caution, attention and material that can ensure longevity of your yard.
The slope height, soil type and drainage patterns are the factors we use to design the walls to ensure the structure is supporting your landscape.
Each wall has a meticulous design, strengthened foundations, and the foundation is well compacted in such a manner that it can resist the shifting soil and seasonal change in moisture of San Jose.
We have stone, block, and reinforced that we have chosen because they are durable and attractive and provide you with a wall that works and beautifies the appearance of the outside.

The soil conditions in the area are such that in San Jose there are foothills with clay and higher grounds with decomposed granite where retaining walls that can adjust to the pressure changes with time are needed. We consider your property and suggest the appropriate design to you. This assists us to provide solutions that are not only cost-effective, but also long-lasting and without corner cutting or compromising the quality.
We are of the view that all house owners should have access to robust, reliable retaining walls. That is why we can provide options that can accommodate a variety of budgets and be able to meet the requirements in terms of engineering and safety. You have a functional garden wall or a massive structural system that is required to support a hillside, we make sure that your investment provides a long-lasting protection and stability to your landscape.
Once the walls start to move, crack, or lean then it is usually an indication that the soil behind the wall is putting undue pressure on it- or that the current structure was not designed to withstand the topography of San Jose. Our team is able to diagnose the underlying cause and give specific solutions, which makes the team strong and avoids future problems. Whether it is restoration of damaged parts of a building or strengthening of the weaker parts, we provide repairs that withstand.
All projects are attended to with professionalism, a sense of privacy and respect of your property. Regardless of whether we are building a wall that is new or a wall that is old, we consider safety, structural integrity and clean finish. Your house should be given reliable security and we would do it.
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
