Diagnose first
Access, drainage, disposal, grades, utilities, and use are resolved before material is ordered.
About
Bay Yard Co was built around a simple standard: diagnose water, access, disposal, and structure before a single stone is ordered.
We are a residential design-build crew serving Oakland, the East Bay, Tri-Valley, Diablo Valley, and East Contra Costa. Our work begins with the parts owners never see: access routes, grade, downspouts, low spots, buried debris, edge lines, and the path water will take during a winter storm. Then we build the visible room—stone, steel, planting transitions, lighting, shade, dining, lounges, and fire.
Every project receives a written scope with quantities, material specification, barrier overlaps, compaction notes, drainage strategy, staging plan, and schedule. During construction, critical layers are photographed before they are covered. When the project is complete, owners know exactly what is beneath the surface and who is responsible for it.
We do not spread decorative rock over a failed grade or leave a weed barrier seam where roots will find it. Furnishings are placed with real clearances, service access, pet routes, and fire safety—not staged only for a photograph. The result is an outdoor room that still works after the season changes.
Access, drainage, disposal, grades, utilities, and use are resolved before material is ordered.
Subgrade, barrier, edge, stone, lighting, and furniture are inspected in sequence.
Photos and written quantities make the quality visible long after the crew leaves.
