What we build
The structural part of the yard: the work that has to be right the first time.
See it in 3D before we dig.
On full backyard projects, we design your yard in 3D first. Move the kitchen, resize the patio and compare pavers on screen, then build from the plan you approved.
- Designed from your yard's real measurements
- Changes happen on screen, not in concrete
- Your price is built from the approved design
I had received multiple quotes for different companies, but Elevation Landscaping communication and pricing is what stood out the most. I'm glad we did because everything was professional, on time and affordable! So happy with finished product.
From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, the communication was excellent. Every question was answered clearly and the finished patio exceeded our expectations.
These guys are amazing. They re-did my whole driveway. I'm in love. Great landscaping company in Sacramento.
They did an amazing job with the landscaping. They gave me an amazing price and would 100% call them again.
Why Sacramento yards need a deeper base
Much of the county sits on expansive clay. It swells when winter rain soaks in, then shrinks and cracks through the dry summer. Put pavers or a slab on a thin layer of sand over that clay and the movement comes straight through as dips, cracks and rocking stones.
The fix is not complicated, just easy to skip: dig out enough soil, compact the subgrade, bring in base rock and compact it in lifts, then slope the finished surface away from the house. That is what we check on every job.
Typical base depth
Clay, slope and drainage can push these deeper. We set the depth at the estimate.
How it works

Guides for homeowners
How much does a new patio or wall cost?
It depends on size, materials, demolition and access. Most patios and walkways start near $10K, and complete backyard builds usually fall in the $20K to $60K range. After a free visit you get a written price, so there are no surprises.
How long does a project take?
Most patios and walkways take a few working days once materials arrive. Retaining walls and full backyard projects usually take one to three weeks. We give you a schedule with your written scope.
Who actually does the work?
Every project is built by a crew licensed by the California Contractors State License Board, matched to the type of work. You deal with one point of contact from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
Ground-level patios and walkways usually do not need a permit. Walls over 4 feet, covered patios and anything with new gas or electrical usually do. If your HOA needs drawings and product specs, we put them together.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The site visit and the written scope are free, and you are under no obligation to move forward.
Do you take small jobs?
We focus on hardscape projects rather than weekly maintenance or small repairs. Patios and walkways start around $10,000.
