    New stamped concrete driveway

    I needed a hardscaper for a new driveway, sidewalk and back patio steps. When I met Paul from Alexander & Sons, I knew intuitively without question he is the kind of high quality vendor that I seek out. He was thorough, detailed, creative, conscientious and he truly listened - to my goals, likes/dislikes, and concerns. He provided me with recommendations across all 3 work areas that took into account the needs and special considerations for each location. He worked to ensure that we had a good strategy for redirecting water from the downspout to the patio and for redirecting water via a small 'channel' parallel to the driveway to allow for better water management. Being a highly visual person, I also found their showroom very helpful in choosing colors and patterns for the stamped concrete finish. In preparation and execution, Paul and the team took great care planning out each phase, protecting my new glass garage door and fixing a small nick on the house during the cement pour. He also personally adjusted the patio downspout, intentionally going out of his way with a plan to avoid creating unnecessary holes in the new siding. He also helped me anticipate and plan for mail and other deliveries during the time the walkway would be off-limits. He also worked well with my neighbor to plan for and to gain access to the garage each day in my absence. He regularly sent pictures and text updates. All of this because he is thorough, creative, conscientious, detailed and seems to sincerely care about his clients. The result: Exactly what I had hoped, delivered on time, with quality, care and with consideration for my schedule and the well-being of my home. Paul delivered to his word. I would hire Paul and the Alexander & Sons team again for any hardscaping in the future.

    they moved this gate, cleared out an overgrown area before laying this pet friendly turf around the concrete they also poured.

    We just finished a big project with Alexander & Sons and highly recommend them. They handled a complex demo, new fences, extensive hardscaping and landscaping, irrigation, and a dog-friendly turf area. I feel like I felt when we finally found an honest, reliable auto shop for our cars. Paul and his crew are all kind and talented, and we had no surprises or crazy change orders. A refreshing change from others we've enountered in the area. We have already recommended Alexander & Sons to friends and neighbors. Oh, and they were far less expensive than others had quoted us.

    We love our new backyard and front entry way! Paul and his team at Anderson & Sons took a blank back yard (nothing but dirt) and transformed it into a beautiful and livable space for us. They also revamped our crowded front entry way (too many bushes and a not-so-easy-to-walk-on pathway and landing to the door) into a open and airy mini garden leading to the home. We couldn't be more pleased! Throughout the process, Paul was very communicative and quickly responded to our inquiries. There was a lot of old concrete in both the front and back yard for them to demo and haul away before framing and pouring all new concrete (stamped and brushed) in both yards for the patio, walkways, and fire pit area. New tile work on the front porch, trees, bushes, lighting, and a drip system. Anderson & Sons did it all. As with any large project, there were a few minor hiccups along the way - mostly having to do with unanticipated discoveries during construction. Also, dealing with the city to coordinate the gas line for our fire pit as well as the utility companies required a bit of effort on our part, but it was a small time-price to pay for the end result. Anderson & Sons is not the least expensive of the landscaping companies out there and we did end up spending a little more than we had originally anticipated, but the cost overruns were largely due to changes and additions we made during implementation. Their GC Paul Sarkis is a great guy, ensures everyone is on the same page when it comes to implementing the plan, and keeps you informed as to the progress of the project and any adjustments that may arise along they way. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and stopped by the job site nearly every day to oversee the progress and talk to us to ensure everything was going according to our liking. All in all, their work is superb and our yards turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend Anderson & Sons.

    We are so happy with the result!! I created a design and Paul made it a reality. I got 3 quotes and chose Alexander and Sons because of the communication, transparency, and my gut told me to go with them. There were a couple added charges on top of the final quote, which was expected and budgeted for. They finished earlier than estimated, which was great!!! We now get to enjoy our outdoor space.

    Our family is very pleased with the work done by Alexander and Sons. They completed a beautiful full landscape redesign and implementation at our home. This included all steps of the project including concept, design, preparation, demolition of existing concrete (patio, driveway, etc.) and all steps of the new project. This was an extensive project. We were kept informed regularly of the status, next steps, and any decisions required. Workers arrived on time, were well-mannered, performed their work well and in the time specified. The job site was well-organized and kept clean. We enjoyed working with the team and are thrilled with the results which fully met our expectations. We now have a very pleasant garden and yard to enjoy with family and friends and are happy to recommend Alexander and Sons.

    Very pleased with stamped concrete (stone grey, Roman slate) driveway and herringbone brick path!

Unfortunately, this time the experience turned into a nightmare, what was supposed to be a 45-day project dragged on for six months with little progress. After finally deciding to move on, we hired Geovanni and his team, and it was the best decision we could have made. He promised to complete the work in three weeks, and true to his word, his crew of seven arrived the very next day (on a Saturday!) with three trucks, cleared out all the debris, and got right to work. The entire project was completed in just two and a half weeks, and the results are amazing. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations. His team was efficient, honest, and incredibly hardworking. Our backyard looks beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I highly recommend Geovanni and his team to anyone looking for quality work at reasonable rates. In fact, one of my friends recently hired him after seeing our backyard, and she was just as thrilled with the results.

From the very first phone call, we could tell he knew his craft. He spent generous time listening to our wish list and understanding our vision, explaining the design/build timeline, and answering every "what if" we threw his way. We also loved his design work in his portfolio of course. Shortly after we engaged Taylor, he was on site taking detailed measurements, photos, and even drone shots of our entire front and backyard. He flagged any potential sloping issues, suggested realistic solutions, and connected us to his trusted referral that could further help us. Any time we had follow up questions, he made himself available and responded quickly - no hard sell, just clear information. Although we weren't able to go forward with the full project due to unexpected yard and budget constraints, Taylor handled the change with total professionalism and never made us feel pressured. The insight we gained from his preliminary work was helpful and will be very useful for when we decide to continue with the project in the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy-to-work-with design partner, we'd highly recommend giving Taylor at Applewood a call.

He replied promptly. During our communication, Renzo's clarity, persistence, knowledge and patience impressed and persuaded me, not to mention his very reasonable quote. Instinctively I knew I could trust Renzo and he is the right guy for my project, even though I haven't met him.  So I waited a month and hired him. The wait was worth it. They built three walls and one patio, redesigned front left yard by grading and building a new pebble pathway with statue, installed lighting and irrigation system that had better dripping rings. They also revamped the driveway that made it look brand new and pebble-covered the right front yard.  It was truly a remarkable experience. Not only they did an excellent job with fine craftmanship, but their punctuality, hardwork, efficiency, know-how, discipline, organization, respect, kindness and neatness were a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration beyond a mere landscaping job. They take pride at what they do and the result is phenomenal! Before and during the three-week construction, Renzo was very respectful and made me feel my opinion matters. He was responsive, accommodating, flexible, easygoing and honest. He listened. He always showed how it would look. When something didn't work out, he was open to suggestions and assisted with solutions. I felt he had my best interest. The level of care to my plants led to high survival rate during transplant. I also noticed one of my trees was magically recovered from disease and the other was vigorously blossoming, which has never happened before. They brought life to my garden. Everything was done very nicely. They cleaned up the whole place and it was much better and cleaner than when they started. They also showed up for additional work as promised. Renzo and his crew transformed my old and messy space into the most beautiful and meaningful garden/haven that I could have only dreamed of. With the new lawn, now my garden has never looked better. I spend more time there and enjoy it more than ever. Renzo at Total Landscape is the best! I highly recommend them!

There are so many contractors out there, and unless you have a referral from a friend or family member, it can feel nearly impossible to know who you can trust. Home improvement projects are big decisions, and the last thing you want is to feel like someone is cutting corners or taking advantage of you. I received seven or eight estimates before choosing Antonio. His pricing was competitive, but more importantly, he came across as the most genuine and honest person I spoke with. He was also incredibly responsive from the very beginning, which I really appreciated. Throughout the entire project, Antonio communicated well, showed up when he said he would, and stayed focused on the job while he was here. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to finish each project correctly and on time. The preparation was thorough, the base was compacted very well, the rebar work was done properly, and he used very high-quality concrete. The finished concrete work turned out beautifully and felt extremely durable. We did run into a small issue after the project was completed. It was somewhat of a gray area as to whether it was actually an issue, but when I reached back out, Antonio responded immediately and came over to take a look. He was completely willing to help make things right. He didn't want to accept it, but I still compensated him for the additional time and work. The way he handled the situation earned even more of my respect. Anyone can be great when everything goes perfectly, but how someone responds when there is an issue says a lot about the kind of person and contractor they are. From his communication and workmanship to the way he handled the follow-up, Antonio has earned my complete trust. I would absolutely work with him again on future projects and recommend him without hesitation. If you have the opportunity to work with Antonio and his team, you can feel confident that your project is in the best hands.

Our new backyard is gorgeous, and the details of our experience tell the story. We worked closely with Danny, the on-site supervisor, who is a top-notch professional. He knows his plants and hardscape, pays attention to every detail, and manages his crew with great efficiency. The crew worked as hard as any I've ever seen, and they did everything--digging out enormous tree roots, setting flagstone for our patio, installing irrigation and lighting, moving boulders--you name it. They showed up every day and even worked several Saturdays to get the job finished on time and before we had to travel. These guys were terrific, and I can't thank them enough for the tremendous effort they put into both the demolition and the complete recreation of our backyard. Marcus, the office manager, was also great to work with. He took us out to select our patio stone, river rock, and boulders, and was patient and generous with his time as we made decisions throughout the project. If you need a concern or question answered quickly, call the office: they respond right away! As we watched the project progress over the weeks, my husband and I often commented to each other on the quality of the work and the care being taken with every part of the job. We are grateful to every one of the men who worked in our yard and deeply appreciate their hard work, skill, and professionalism. I recommend SouthBay Landscape and Design enthusiastically and without reservation. They do top-quality work, and they were a pleasure to have at our home. One additional note: we also used the landscape designer they recommended, Dawn, and she was excellent. We are thrilled with the beautiful backyard they all helped create.

They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing.
