Sio was responsive and flexible from the get go. Price was very competitive and one of the lowest I can find. He had great/quick communication which for jobs like these is like 25% of the battle. There is nothing worse than dealing with contractors that randomly ghosts you! You won't have to worry about that with Sio and his team. They were early every day of the job, and they were patient and always explained things to me thoroughly. I was really happy with the job and my neighbors all had good things to say about their work! I would call them up again if I ever need help again!

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

I immediately got a good vibe from Dago when he came to give an estimate for our project. Working…read morewith Maria to get everything scheduled was also a very pleasant experience.

I found Ecopacha Landscaping on Instagram and was instantly drawn to their beautiful work. After…read morechecking out their reviews (which were overwhelmingly positive), I decided to reach out--and I'm so glad I did. This was the first big project we tackled after buying our new home, and we were honestly so overwhelmed and nervous. But from the very beginning, Ecopacha made the entire process feel streamlined, manageable, and even enjoyable. Our front landscaping hadn't been touched since the house was built in the 60s--it was completely outdated and in desperate need of love. Manuel came out to meet us and immediately understood our vision. He helped us design a front yard that's not only beautiful but feels like us. And Humberto--he's truly one of the kindest and most patient people I've ever worked with. I had a ton of questions throughout the process, and he took the time to walk me through everything with so much care and detail. Their entire crew was amazing--showing up every single day on time, ready to work, and incredibly efficient and meticulous. Even my neighbors commented on how rare it is to see that kind of consistency and dedication. Every step was smooth, thoughtful, and well-executed. I was so impressed by their dedication and commitment that I decided to add a second project: redoing a part of our backyard fence and garden area to create a play space for our daughter. Humberto took care of seamlessly folding this extra work into our overall project timeline, and the team approached it with the same level of thoughtfulness and care as they did our front yard. It was such a joy to watch it all come together. One of the biggest bonuses? Humberto went above and beyond with our irrigation system--he discovered we had two separate sprinkler systems watering the lawn and fixed it so that only one runs now. That alone is saving us so much on our water bill every month. Any concern or question I had--no matter how small--was addressed right away and with genuine care. It was clear throughout the entire process that they deeply care about the quality of their work and about making their clients happy. Now, our front yard looks modern, fresh, and completely transformed--and I honestly can't believe it's mine. Every time I step out my front door, I'm in awe that this dream yard is ours. My neighbors have all been stopping by to compliment it and ask who we worked with. I'm actually a little sad the project is over because working with Humberto, Manuel, and their team was such a joy. They are truly some of the nicest, most dedicated people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. If you're dreaming of a beautiful outdoor space, I can't recommend Ecopacha enough. They'll make your vision a reality--and you'll enjoy every step of the way.

We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

The finished backyard looks excellent and the quality of the construction appears high. Vanessa specifically provided excellent, white-glove service throughout the entirety of the project and was super responsive to all of our communication. We did have a number of issues arise with the crew (mainly excessive dust seeping into our house and trash being left behind on the neighbor's property line), as well as the accounting department (an accidental attempt at overcharging us), but Vanessa always did an excellent job of troubleshooting these issues and helping to guide everybody towards a resolution. She also worked diligently on our backyard design and expertly guided us through several iterations and unexpected construction issues. I highly recommend working with Vanessa and Black Diamond Pavers.

Great design and installation of tasteful spotlights, mushroom lights, and some custom lights in the paver patterns. The Black Diamond team workers were fast, clean, organized, courteous, and their craftsmanship was excellent and the finished front of the house was a very custom and professional job. They were also flexible, which is probably most important. It now has a very modern, Tuscan look. What a transformation from cracked concrete! The neighbor dropped by, was amazed, and said: sign me up too! Definitely would recommend. It turned out better than we had imagined.
