The details homeowners ask first.
What does a backyard rock conversion cost in the Bay Area?
Most residential projects range from $5,000 to $40,000 depending on access, disposal volume, drainage correction, square footage, rock type, edges, and furnishing packages. We give a written scope and quantities before work begins.
Do you handle drainage before installing rock?
Yes. We diagnose low spots, downspouts, slope, and discharge points, then regrade and correct drainage before fabric or stone goes down. Covering a drainage problem with rock is the most expensive way to fail.
What weed barrier do you use?
We use commercial-grade fabric with engineered overlaps, pinned edges, and hard borders. Decorative cloth with loose seams is a seasonal shortcut, not a long-term barrier system.
Can you include furniture, fire features, and lighting?
Yes. We design and build complete outdoor rooms with weather-rated dining, lounges, shade, gas fire features, low-glare lighting, and circulation—not just groundcover.
How long does a typical project take?
Many residential conversions take two to seven working days after material delivery. Large, difficult-access, or hillside projects take longer, and the schedule is stated in the written build plan.
