Where Design Meets Durability — and Style Meets Function
A stunning exterior isn’t just about looks. It’s about weather resistance, material longevity, usability, and smart design. Your siding, hardscape, landscape, and lighting all work together to create a home that feels complete — and performs well through every Bay Area season.
At Arla Builders Inc., we design and build outdoor spaces that balance practical function with visual charm. From driveways and walkways to retaining walls, fencing, and planting, we handle everything with expert craftsmanship and long-term value in mind.
Why Bay Area Homeowners
Choose Arla Builders Inc.
We Understand Local Architecture and Terrain
Whether you live in a hillside home in Oakland, a Victorian in San Francisco, or a modern build in San Mateo, we understand how to complement your home’s style while maximizing the potential of your outdoor space. We also take local factors like soil conditions, drainage, and microclimates into account.
End-to-End Project Management
You don’t need to hire multiple contractors for your landscaping, fencing, or exterior upgrades. We handle everything — from design to demo, construction to cleanup — with a single point of contact and a dedicated project manager.
Functional and Beautiful Outdoor Living Spaces
Whether it’s a front yard refresh or a full backyard transformation, we make your outdoor space more livable, more enjoyable, and more aligned with how you want to spend your time.
Attention to Craftsmanship and Curb Appeal
We believe that details matter. Clean lines, cohesive finishes, and thoughtful layouts are what turn ordinary spaces into beautiful, lasting outdoor environments. Our crew takes pride in every stone laid and every plant placed.
Transforming Your Outdoor Space — One Project at a Time
Make a Lasting First Impression
The front of your home sets the tone for everything that follows. Whether you’re boosting resale value or simply want to take pride in your property every time you pull into the driveway, we help you create a polished, professional look that stands out.
From updated entryways and modern walkways to flowerbeds and landscape lighting, we turn plain front yards into beautiful, functional spaces that welcome visitors — and impress buyers.
Backyards That Feel Like Getaways
Your backyard has endless potential — and we’re here to help you unlock it. Whether you want a private retreat, a place to entertain guests, or a space where kids and pets can play safely, we work with you to design a backyard that suits your lifestyle and maximizes your space.
We can incorporate built-in seating areas, fire pits, pathways, retaining walls, privacy screens, and low-maintenance landscaping options that reduce watering needs while still looking lush.
Low-Maintenance Landscaping that Thrives in the Bay Area
Many homes in the Bay Area face unique environmental challenges — drought, sun exposure, sloped lots, and varying soil conditions. Our landscape designs are not only beautiful, but also practical.
We use climate-appropriate plants, drip irrigation systems, and smart drainage planning to create outdoor spaces that are both sustainable and easy to maintain.
You get the beauty of a professional landscape — without the weekly headaches of high maintenance.
Hardscaping That Adds Structure and Value
Outdoor spaces need more than grass and flowers to function well. Hardscaping — like retaining walls, paver patios, stone steps, or concrete walkways — provides structure, flow, and longevity.
Our team designs and installs custom hardscaping elements that enhance your property’s usability and visual appeal. Whether you need erosion control for a sloped lot or a level space for a firepit, we’ve got the experience to bring your vision to life.
Smart Drainage and Grading Solutions
Bay Area homes, especially those built on inclines or near water tables, often face runoff and pooling challenges. Our exterior specialists analyze your yard’s natural water movement and create drainage systems that prevent erosion and water damage. We also ensure your grading supports both landscaping and structural health — because water should always flow away from your home, not toward it.
Exterior Upgrades for Long-Term Protection and Beauty
Start with Your Vision, End with Your Dream Kitchen
While landscaping enhances outdoor enjoyment, your home’s exterior also needs attention to maintain its structural integrity. Our team is experienced in providing:
Siding replacements and repairs
Trim work and exterior painting
Facade enhancements (stone veneers, accent woodwork)
Fence installation and staining
Gate and entryway construction
Lighting installation for aesthetics and security
We use weather-resistant, durable materials that are both stylish and strong enough to stand up to Bay Area winds, moisture, and sun exposure.
