Hardscaping & Masonry
Hardscaping and masonry give a landscape its structure: the patios you gather on, the walls that shape the space, the steps and paths that tie it together. Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction builds high-end hardscape and stone masonry for homes throughout San Mateo County and the Peninsula.

Craftsmanship you can see
Stone masonry rewards skill. Joint lines, cuts, patterns and transitions are what separate a refined patio or wall from an ordinary one. Our in-house masons take the time to get these details right so the finished work complements the architecture of the home.
Built on a proper foundation
Every patio, wall and step is only as good as what is underneath it. We excavate, grade, compact and install drainage as needed before any stone is set, so the hardscape stays level and intact through Peninsula winters.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
- Consultation: we walk the property with you, listen to your goals and assess slopes, drainage, sun and existing trees.
- Design: our designer develops a plan for layout, hardscape, planting, irrigation, drainage and lighting.
- Construction: our in-house crew builds the project, and your designer stays involved through completion.
- Ongoing care: our residential maintenance program keeps the landscape performing, with irrigation and lighting audits three times a year.
Because we handle design and construction in-house, hardscaping & masonry can be planned together with the rest of your landscape, including grading, drainage, irrigation and lighting, so everything is installed once and installed correctly. Since 1972, Del Conte’s M&H has focused on high-end residential work, and our long-time managers bring decades of experience to every project.

Hardscaping & Masonry: Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you work with?
We work with natural stone, brick, concrete, pavers and other hardscape materials, selected to suit the home and the design.
Can you match existing stonework?
In many cases, yes. We will look at the existing work and source materials to match as closely as possible.
Do you build steps and stairs on slopes?
Yes. Steps and stairs are common on hillside properties and are often built together with retaining walls.
