From unusable slope to planted terraces

Multi-tier segmental block retaining walls with timber stairs on a steep East Bay hillside
Hillside terracing: walls, stairs & plantingA steep, unusable slope converted into planted terraces — engineered segmental block retaining walls, a timber stairway climbing the hill, fresh planting and mulch throughout.Oakland

This is East Bay hills work

Engineered block walls hold the grade, a timber stairway climbs the hill, and what was a slope you couldn't stand on is now terraced, planted ground. Walls, drainage, stairs, planting — one crew, one project.

How it works

  1. Call, text, or send photos

    Snap your yard and text it over — we can often ballpark from photos alone.

  2. Free on-site estimate

    We walk the yard with you and leave a fixed number, not an hourly guess.

  3. Design & schedule

    You approve the plan and the price. Most projects start within 2–3 weeks.

  4. Build & walkthrough

    Tidy crews, daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough covered by the WindyPeak Promise.

Reviews

What neighbors say

★★★★★

“Windy Peak completely transformed our backyard — porcelain tiles, planters, a built-in bench, stepping stones, and artificial grass. Cesar and his team were incredibly hardworking, arriving early each morning and often working late to keep the project on schedule. The craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded our expectations.”

“Cesar and crew did an excellent job replacing our sidewalk and driveway. The crew arrived as scheduled, worked steadily to finish on schedule, and cleaned up thoroughly. The city inspector went out of his way to tell me that the job had been done right.”

★★★★★

“After researching and getting quotes from around 8 companies, I selected Windypeak for a backyard French drain project. Cesar provided a comprehensive quote — not the highest or the lowest, reasonably in the middle — and the fact that he's licensed was a selling point. They really went the extra mile to make sure it was done right. Just fabulous service.”
