Hillside Retaining & Grading
Engineered retaining, terraced rear yards, pad cuts and the drainage designed alongside them. Concrete and drainage →
Tad's Construction Inc. is a licensed California contractor working throughout Diamond Bar — hillside retaining walls, room additions, concrete and foundations, grading and drainage, patio covers and swimming pool construction. Diamond Bar is built across the Puente Hills, and the slope governs nearly every scope. Site visits and written estimates are free.
Three CSLB classifications under one roof — general building, landscape and site work, and swimming pools. On a Diamond Bar view lot the retaining, the drainage and the pool deck are a single design problem.

Bedroom and family-room additions, ADUs and garage conversions, under the city's hillside management standards where grade requires it. General building and framing →
Elevated and terraced gunite pools, replaster and tile, deck replacement and equipment upgrades on sloped lots. Pool construction and remodel →
View decks, shade structures, outdoor kitchens and hardscape engineered for the slope they sit on.
Expansive clay through much of the city moves with moisture, and parts of the hills carry a documented landslide history. Footing and wall design follows a soils report rather than an assumption.
Above certain slopes the city governs grading quantity, pad design and wall height. That decides what is approvable, so it is settled at design rather than at plan check.
Equipment access is frequently the binding constraint. Pump trucks, haul routes and staging get planned before a schedule is promised, because here they are the schedule.
On a view lot, wall heights, deck elevations and structure placement are worth as much as the square footage. We design around the view rather than into it.
Large gated hillside parcels with real grade. Substantial retaining, terraced yards and elevated pool builds.
Established tract housing on moderate slope. Rear-yard build-out, retaining and drainage correction.
Flatter ground near the 57 and 60. Additions, garage conversions and standard rear-yard work.
We work the whole hillside corridor. See our Chino Hills and Pomona pages.
