West Dublin · Dublin Ranch · Positano · Jordan Ranch · Wallis Ranch · Tassajara Hills
Schedule a Discovery ConsultationDublin has grown faster than almost anywhere in California. The city had about 13,500 residents in 1980 and more than 72,000 by 2020. That means thousands of newer homes in Dublin Ranch, Positano, Jordan Ranch and Wallis Ranch, many with backyards still waiting for a real plan.
We design and build outdoor living spaces for homeowners in Dublin, and we know how to make a compact yard work hard.

Every March the city goes green for its St. Patrick's Day festival and parade, a nod to the Irish settlers who gave Dublin its name. The rest of the year, families fill Emerald Glen Park, the city's largest, with The Wave aquatic center, and the fields at Fallon Sports Park in East Dublin. Dublin Heritage Park and Museums, on 10 acres at Donlon Way and Dublin Boulevard, keeps the town's pioneer story close to downtown.
In 1835, José María Amador received a 16,517 acre land grant, and the Amador Valley still carries his name. Irish settlers bought land from him around 1850 and built a town at the crossroads of two stagecoach routes, one running to Stockton and the other between Martinez and San Jose.
The Murray Schoolhouse opened in 1856. Old St. Raymond's Church followed in 1859, on land donated by the Murray and Fallon families. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Dublin incorporated on February 1, 1982.
Answer five quick questions and see the features and projects built for the way you live.
Clay soils common around Dublin, including the Diablo and Pescadero series, have high shrink-swell potential. We plan base prep and drainage to handle it. Much of the city's water is delivered by the Dublin San Ramon Services District, with supply from Zone 7. Permits come through the City of Dublin, and most newer neighborhoods have HOA review. Hillside homes on the west side may fall in mapped fire hazard zones, which we check during planning.
Many Dublin homes sit on lots where every square foot counts. When the yard is compact, nothing can be an afterthought. Placement of the grill, the seating, the shade and the walkway to the side gate has to be worked out together.
That is why we design first. A scaled plan shows how a dining area, a lounge corner and a strip of planting can share one yard without feeling crowded. It also catches the details that new yards often hide, such as drainage paths, utility boxes and HOA setbacks.
Every project begins with a discovery consultation. We learn about your home, your goals and how you want to live outside, then recommend the right next step.

Yes. Tight access is common on newer lots. We plan equipment and material delivery around it during design.
More than most people expect. A patio, a compact kitchen or fire pit, shade and planting can all fit with a good plan. Try our style quiz for ideas.
