About CM Hardscape

A San José hardscape company building yards that are built to last and designed for outdoor living.

Who We Are

Built on work that holds up

CMHARDSCAPE LLC is a San José hardscape company led by owner Fabio Andres Contreras Montero. The idea behind it is simple: show up when we say we will, build it properly underneath as well as on top, and leave every property cleaner than we found it.

Working in the South Bay teaches you what a yard is up against. Clay soil that swells in the winter and shrinks in the summer. Afternoon sun that makes an unshaded patio unusable for half the day. Water bills that make a thirsty lawn hard to justify. Everything we build is planned around those realities — which is why the base, the drainage, and the details get as much attention as the finish.

Today we build paver patios and driveways, artificial turf, stacked-stone and block retaining walls, concrete, redwood and cedar fencing, pergolas, gazebos, and planter boxes — often all in one project, under one crew. We're open Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM, and every estimate is free.

What We Stand For

Reliability

We show up on the day we said, at the time we said, and tell you right away if weather moves the schedule.

Respect

It's your home. We protect what's staying, keep the street clean, and clean the site before we leave each day.

Doing It Right

Compacted bases, drainage behind walls, posts set in concrete, joints cut where they belong. No shortcuts that show up in two years.

Community

We live and work in the South Bay. Our best advertising is a neighbor pointing at our work and giving out our number.

Our Mission

Give South Bay homeowners an outdoor space they actually use — built to last, designed for the way they live. Treat every customer like a neighbor, because most of them are, and earn the next referral with the work itself.

Our Promise

If something isn't right, tell us and we'll come back and make it right. And because we value repeat and referred customers, they get $500 off any project of $20,000 or more — our way of saying thanks.
