The Pleasant Hill Vineyard Garden
Full Backyard Project in Pleasant Hill
WDC coordinates landscape and hardscape as part of whole-home renovation projects in Pleasant Hill — retaining walls, driveways, pools, outdoor living structures, and fire-resilient defensible space — managed under a single project scope with City of Pleasant Hill permit coordination. The Conejo Valley’s foothill terrain and fire history make exterior renovation more complex than a standard landscape job. WDC manages it all.



Exterior Scope in Pleasant Hill
- Fire-resilient defensible space — Woolsey-affected and VHFHSZ-designated properties require 100-foot defensible space compliance; plant selection, spacing, and hardscape design are regulatory requirements; many TO homeowners are now designing fully non-combustible exterior zones
- Retaining walls and grading — foothill and hillside properties require City of Pleasant Hill grading permits and engineer-stamped drawings for structural retaining walls
- Pool and spa — City of Pleasant Hill pool permits; barrier compliance; WDC manages pool contractor under the overall project structure
- Driveways and gates — motorized gate systems and driveway reconstruction require permits; WDC coordinates
- Water-efficient landscaping — Contra Costa County Water Agency and City requirements for drought-tolerant planting and irrigation efficiency apply to new and renovated exterior landscaping
Exterior as Part of a Full Home Project
Interior and exterior renovation coordinated together is more efficient in Pleasant Hill — particularly when defensible space upgrades and interior work can be managed under one construction schedule and one site mobilization.
Exterior Renovation in Pleasant Hill
Fire zone exterior work and standard landscaping require very different approaches. WDC maps what your specific property requires before design begins.
