Hillside Masonry for Los Gatos Slopes
Properties in Los Gatos face unique challenges with steep hillside terrain throughout neighborhoods like Belgatos and along Highway 17. Your retaining walls need to handle significant soil pressure while complementing the natural beauty of your surroundings. We engineer walls that prevent erosion on slopes and create level outdoor spaces where your family can gather safely.
The hillside soil here shifts with seasonal rains, which means your retaining walls require proper drainage and reinforcement. We install weep holes and gravel backfill systems that channel water away from your foundation. Many Los Gatos homes sit on lots with 20 to 40-degree slopes, so we design stepped walls that follow the natural contours while providing stability. Your investment in quality masonry now prevents costly landslide repairs later.
We work throughout the Los Gatos hills, from Old Town to the estates near Lexington Reservoir. Each project gets a custom approach based on your property's specific grade, soil type, and aesthetic preferences. Whether you want natural stone that blends into the landscape or clean-lined concrete block, we make sure your walls perform their job while enhancing your property value.
Historic Downtown Los Gatos Brick Restoration
Downtown Los Gatos features charming historic buildings with brick facades that date back over 100 years. Your commercial property or historic home deserves restoration work that respects its original character while meeting modern building codes. We match mortar colors precisely to blend repairs seamlessly with existing brickwork, maintaining the authentic look that makes this downtown special.
Buildings along North Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street often need tuckpointing services to address deteriorating mortar joints. The fog and moisture from nearby Los Gatos Creek accelerate mortar breakdown, especially on north-facing walls. We remove damaged mortar to the proper depth and repoint with period-appropriate mixes that allow the brick to breathe. This prevents water intrusion that leads to interior damage and maintains your building's structural integrity.
We understand Los Gatos building regulations and work with the town's planning department to ensure historic preservation standards are met. Your masonry contractor needs to balance preservation with practical durability, which is exactly what we deliver on every downtown restoration project.

Custom Outdoor Living Spaces for Los Gatos Estates
Los Gatos homeowners love spending time outdoors year-round thanks to the mild climate. Your backyard can become an entertainment destination with a custom outdoor kitchen or stone fireplace. We design and build complete outdoor living areas that match your home's architecture and take advantage of your property's best views, whether you overlook the Santa Cruz Mountains or your private oak-studded lot.
Outdoor fireplaces and kitchens add value to your property while creating space for family gatherings. We install built-in grills, pizza ovens, countertops, and seating areas using materials that withstand weather and daily use. Natural stone works beautifully with the surrounding landscape, while manufactured stone offers consistent colors that complement modern home styles.
Properties near Vasona Lake and along Blossom Hill Road have the space for elaborate outdoor setups. We handle all aspects including gas line connections, electrical work coordination, and drainage planning. Your outdoor kitchen stays functional through every season, ready whenever you want to cook outside or warm up by the fire on cool evenings.
Driveway and Entry Pavers for Curb Appeal
Your driveway is the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your Los Gatos home. Upgrading from plain concrete to quality pavers instantly transforms your property's appearance and increases resale value. We install paver driveways that handle daily traffic while adding elegant style that matches homes throughout Belwood and Los Gatos Woods.
The base preparation matters more than the pavers themselves. We excavate to the proper depth, install compacted aggregate base material, and ensure correct slope for drainage. This prevents sinking and shifting that plague poorly installed paver driveways. Many Los Gatos properties have circular driveways or long entries that require careful planning for vehicle turning radius and pattern continuity.
We offer various paver styles from traditional brick patterns to modern large-format rectangles. Your choice of color and texture should complement your home's exterior and existing hardscape. We help you select materials that fit your budget while delivering the upscale look that reflects Los Gatos's character and your personal taste.
