What we build
Patios, driveways, walkways, slabs, fences and gates. Pick a category, then tap a panel to see what each service covers.
01
Paver patios
A paver patio gives you a flat, tough spot for dining, grilling and hanging out. We lay out the shape, build a compacted base, set the pavers and lock them in.
Layout · Compacted base · Paver install · Joint sand
02
Paver driveways
A paver driveway adds curb appeal and handles daily traffic. The base does the heavy lifting, so we build it deep and set the pavers tight.
Excavation · Compacted base · Pavers and borders · Edge restraints
03
Paver walkways and steps
Walkways and steps that feel good underfoot and stay easy to keep clean. Straight, curved or stepped to follow the lay of your yard.
Walkways · Steps · Borders · Curves and patterns
04
Fire pits and outdoor living
Add a fire pit, seating area or a bigger patio footprint, so the yard works after dark too.
Fire pit pads · Seating areas · Patio extensions · Borders
05
Concrete driveways
A poured concrete driveway is a clean, long-lasting surface. We prep the base, set the forms, pour and finish it.
Removal and haul-off · Forms and base · Pour and finish · Control joints
06
Concrete patios and walkways
Flat, smooth and built to last. Concrete patios, walkways, pads and slabs poured and finished to the shape you need.
Patios · Walkways · Pads and slabs · Finishes
07
Wood fences
A wood fence brings privacy and gives your yard a clear edge. We set the posts, hang the rails and boards, and keep the lines straight.
Posts and rails · Boards · Privacy and picket styles · Clean-up
08
Fence gates and repairs
A leaning fence or a sagging gate doesn't always mean a whole new fence. We fix what can be fixed and build gates that swing right.
New gates · Post repair · Board replacement · Leaning fences
Plus ways we make it easier

Why Marin Landscaping
Anyone can promise good work. Here's what you can count on when you call us.
Wet winters and clay-heavy soil are hard on hardscape. We build the base and the drainage for it, so your pavers and slabs stay put.
Eight services under one name, so you don't have to hunt for a different contractor every time the yard plan changes.
We look at the yard, talk through your options and give you the numbers. You don't pay to find out.
Based in Menlo Park and working across the Bay Area, so we're never far from your yard.
Tell us what you're picturing and we'll take it from there.
Free & local
A new patio, driveway or fence is a big decision. We make the first step easy: tell us what you're thinking, we come take a look, and you get the numbers without paying for the privilege.

How it works
No mystery, no runaround. Tap a step to see what working with Marin Landscaping looks like.
Step 1 of 5
Tell us what you have in mind: a new patio, a driveway redo, a fence that's seen better days. A photo of the yard helps.
Step 2 of 5
We walk the space with you, measure it and look at drainage, access and what's there now, so the advice fits your yard.
Step 3 of 5
You see the scope, the materials and the cost before anything starts, with options if there's more than one good way to do it.
Step 4 of 5
Base first, then the surface: pavers set and locked in, concrete formed and poured, or a fence set post by post. We keep you posted.
Step 5 of 5
We go over the finished work with you, answer your questions and tell you how to look after it. Then we clean up.
Plan around the weather
Dry ground makes for cleaner pavers, concrete and fence work. Tap a trade to see which months suit it, and where we can still work around the rain.
Free estimate
Every yard is different, so we price after we've seen yours. Here's how it works, and a quick tool to size up your project in the meantime.
Tell us what you want to build and we'll come look at the yard. You get the numbers and your options without paying a thing.
Most paver and concrete jobs are priced by the square foot, and fences by the linear foot. Your estimate adds in prep, materials and access, so it reflects your yard and not an average.
Pick what you're building and enter the size. You'll get rough planning numbers. They aren't a quote, but they help you picture the job.
Not sure which one fits? Tell us what's going on in your yard, call or text us a photo and we'll point you the right way.
Compare
Both can be the right call for a driveway, patio or walkway. Flip the switch to see how they stack up, then we'll go over both at your free estimate.
Quick check
Pick the closest match and we'll point you to the right service. It's a starting point, so we still need to see it in person to be sure.

A paver patio or driveway can last for decades when the base is built right. The compacted rock under the pavers matters even more than the pavers themselves, which is why we spend our time on it.
Neither is best for everyone. Pavers cost more up front, come in many styles and can be repaired one section at a time. Concrete usually costs less up front and takes little upkeep, but it can crack as the ground moves. We'll go over both with you at the free estimate.
It depends on your city and how tall the fence is. Many cities limit fence height, especially in front yards, and some require a permit above a certain height. We'll point out what to check for your address, and it's always worth confirming with your city's planning office.
Most concrete can take foot traffic after a day or two and vehicles after about seven days, and it keeps getting stronger for weeks. Weather changes the timeline, so we'll tell you what to expect for your pour.
Usually, yes. We lift the pavers, rebuild or add to the base, and set them again. Often only the sunken section needs work, not the whole patio or driveway.
Size, materials, how much prep your yard needs (digging, removal, drainage), access for equipment and your city's requirements. That's why we price after we've seen the yard, and why the estimate is free.
