Ground-level finished patio steps + walkway to entrance, retaining planter, redwood fence, terracotta bench — Hillside Outdoor Living Transformation, Oakland, CA
Overview

What started as raw hillside terrain is now a clean, modern, and functional outdoor layout. New Edge Concrete built new concrete walkways, custom stairs, a tiered retaining-wall system, and proper grading and drainage for this Oakland home — every surface hand-troweled to a smooth steel-trowel finish, designed for durability, safety, and long-term performance and built to match the home and the landscape. Completed in 2026 in partnership with landscape company Buckeye Garden.
