Milo Landscaping Inc builds paver driveways, concrete patios and pool decks, and wood fences for homes in Alamo, CA 94507. Because Alamo is unincorporated, permits and fence rules come from Contra Costa County, not a city hall, and we plan every project around that.

Alamo has no city government, so building questions go to the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development in Martinez. Under the county's permit-exemption list, fences up to 7 feet do not need a building permit, but concrete and masonry walls do.
Neighborhoods like Round Hill and Stone Valley Oaks have wide frontages and long driveways. That makes material choice and drainage planning more important, because runoff from a large hardscape area has to go somewhere.
Many Alamo yards are shaded by old oaks. We plan paver and concrete edges around root zones instead of cutting large roots, and we suggest pavers where roots may move the surface over time.
Private driveways and walkways close to grade are exempt from a building permit in the county, but repairing a public sidewalk or driveway curb cut needs Public Works review. We tell you before the project starts if your job touches the street.

Yes. We lay out edges to avoid cutting large roots and often recommend pavers near trees, because single pavers can be lifted and reset if roots move the surface.
Yes. We build exposed-aggregate and stamped concrete pool decks as well as paver pool decks, graded so water drains away from the pool and the house.
