Landscaping in Belmont, CA
Belmont’s hills give many homes beautiful views, and they also create some of the most demanding landscape conditions on the Peninsula. Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction specializes in landscaping in Belmont, CA, turning steep, sloped and terraced lots into safe, usable outdoor living spaces.
High-End Landscaping in Belmont, CA
Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction was founded in 1972 and specializes in high-end residential landscape design and construction. We are not a mow-and-blow service. Our team plans and builds complete outdoor environments for Belmont homeowners: landscape design, construction, outdoor living, hardscape, irrigation, drainage and lighting, all coordinated by one team.
Designing Landscapes for Belmont Homes
On a Belmont hillside, the landscape starts below the surface. Retaining walls, grading and drainage determine whether a patio stays level, whether a planting bed washes out in the first big storm and whether water ends up against the foundation. We build engineered retaining walls, subsurface drainage and properly compacted bases so the finished landscape holds up year after year.
Once the structure is in place, the design can focus on the view. Terraced patios, decks and seating areas oriented toward the Bay or the hills, lighting that makes evenings usable, and planting that stabilizes slopes while softening walls are all common elements of our Belmont projects, including homes in the Carlmont area and along the ridgelines.

Landscaping in Belmont: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a steep Belmont backyard usable?
Yes. With engineered retaining walls, terracing, stairs and drainage we regularly turn steep slopes into level patios, planting beds and lawn or turf areas.
Why does drainage matter so much on hillside lots?
Hillside lots move a lot of water during storms. Without proper drainage, water can undermine walls, erode planting and collect near the house. We design drainage as part of every hillside project.
Do you build decks and stairs as part of the landscape?
Yes. Our outdoor carpentry work includes decks, stairs, trellises, arbors and fences built to fit the landscape design.
