Expert Landscape Architect & Deck Builder in Los Altos Hills | Grimes Natural Landscape
Los Altos Hills, CA 94022
Question Answers
What types of deck materials do you recommend for Los Altos Hills homes?
We typically suggest durable hardwoods like ipe or composite decking for low maintenance. For hillside properties, we design decks with proper drainage and structural support to prevent erosion.
How do you handle soil erosion around fence posts on steep slopes?
We use deep-set posts with concrete footings and install French drains or gravel beds to redirect water, preventing washout. This is common in Los Altos Hills, and we tailor solutions to each site.
Can you fix chain-link fence corrosion without replacing the entire fence?
Yes, we can treat rusted areas, apply galvanized coating, and replace damaged sections. For long-term results, we recommend upgrading to aluminum or vinyl-coated mesh.
