Hardscape in El Dorado Hills.

El Dorado Hills homes sit on slopes, often with a view worth building around. That makes terraced patios, retaining walls, steps and outdoor living areas the core of most projects here, usually with a fire feature or kitchen as the centerpiece.

Slope changes everything about drainage. Water coming downhill has to be collected and routed around a patio and behind every wall, or it will undermine both. We plan drainage first on hillside lots.

El Dorado Hills is unincorporated, so permits go through El Dorado County rather than a city, and communities like Serrano have their own architectural review. We put together the drawings and specs those reviews ask for.
