Alliance Interlocking Pavers - See the paved floor in this backyard, this was done by Allianz pavers - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

If you're looking for pavers for your driveway, backyard or walkways, Alliance Interlocking Pavers is great. They just finished a job my kids residence and they did an amazing job. Carlos, the owner, is wonderful to work with and his crew are very skilled and courteous. They are neat and really take pride in their work and were meticulous to detail. Shout out to Jose who did the cutting of the pavers!! Of all the contractors we have used this year, they were certainly the best. They also install lawns, and did a great job installing that as well. Highly recommend working with this company. read more

I worked with Alliance Interlocking Pavers across two projects in 2024 and 2025, spending over $30,000. While the owner, Carlos, is a genuinely friendly and charming person, the overall experience left me with mixed feelings. The first job (pavers) looked nice at first glance, but the quality wasn't 100%. I had to point out several issues, and while they were addressed later, it became clear that the crew didn't always follow high standards unless you brought things directly to Carlos's attention. Unfortunately, the second job (landscaping) was even more disappointing. The quality dropped further, and despite reaching out multiple times over four months to have issues corrected, no one ever followed through. I was promised several dates for a return visit, but after five attempts, no one showed up. It's frustrating because the team has potential, and Carlos is great to talk to -- but the lack of consistency and follow-up really took away from the overall experience. read more

Carlos was great to work with and his team especially Romulu did a very good job. I am picky with work quality and esthetics so it is unusual for me to be happy with work done without supervision. Also was happy to see Carlos Jr. keeping it up. Heartily recommended. read more

Carlos and Alliance Interlocking Pavers did an exceptional job on our new paver driveway! Carlos was very helpful explaining and answering questions of the process and by providing samples and photos to help us decide which patterns we would like best. The crews were all top notch! Very skilled and performed meticulous work. Our job was completed on-time in the timeframe promised. I would highly recommend Alliance Interlocking Pavers for your next paving job! read more

Fantastic work on a complex, steep driveway with various bends and slopes all around. Carlos started with various detailed mockups for us to review to envision the end state. Visualizing the scope and design was extremely valuable since we had no idea what to expect. The upfront time devoted to design and various options was extremely valuable. The excellent service continued with the very detail oriented crew that did an outstanding job throughout the entire end to end process. The team was very efficient as they were in and out within about a week. The rest of the time was devoted to cleaning up and closing some open items. Carlos even took care of extending some brick borders for us with no additional charge. Where do you see this kind of diligence and service in today's world? Highly recommended you give Carlos a call. read more

Carlos did a fantastic job with our large paver job on our steep driveway. He made recommendations amongst our options, his workers were professional and did high quality work, and it was a very solid quote value given the amount of work we were asking for. read more

This is a 5 Star positive review for Alliance Interlocking Pavers. We got multiple bids for our Custom Backyard Concrete Installation (over 900 sq ft). However, we decided to use this Company because Carlos (Company Owner) was very friendly, professional and gave us a competitive price. We made a design on the spot that met all our expectations with 4" of 6 sack concrete and trace control joints, removal of an old plum tree and 3 big stumps, as well as trimming all existing trees on the property. The team created cutouts for all trees and roses filled with River rocks including weed protectors as well as creating drain trench filled with beautiful rocks. They were always available to answer all questions & scheduled our project in a timely manner that was very appreciated. Carlos made this huge process so easy. We could not be happier with Melvin and his team (Carlos Jr, Rudy and oth.) for a GREAT job! Our Project was done in 8 DAYS with outstanding results. This team arrived every day early in the morning, got to work right away and always cleaned all the areas after completing the daily project every evening. They worked tirelessly throughout this project. Our backyard looks so beautiful that several people stop and praise it. The team cleaned all areas after the project was completed, loaded old staff on Company trucks. Hands down a TOTAL AMAZING Experience with this Company!!! I would highly recommend Alliance Interlocking Pavers to anyone who needs a professional, kind and skilled team for any home improvement project!!! Thank you very much!!!!! Company Management you can be very proud of your Team!! read more

I highly recommend AIP. My new pavers are so beautiful. I I did receive three different bids and AIP was the least expensive. I also hired Carlos because he is very nice. His crew also did a great job cleaning up and getting the work done in a week. Carlos took photos from the house where I found pavers I liked and created a mock up photo of my driveway. That was a game changer for me. He also dropped off some samples of the product a week before so I could see how the product looked in the sunlight and in the evening. I would for sure hire AIP again! read more

Carlos and the team did a great job. We had a small job - to fill out a few areas where the foundation workers had pulled up the pavers. So we had a pile of pavers that needed to be put back in place. Carlos prepared an official estimate. The team did a great job. In terms of cost, we spoke with one other company that did not want to do a small job and wanted to re-do our entire back patio which was not what we wanted to do, so umm, no! Plus the team cleaned everything afterwards, I think they hosed it all down, so even though the pavers were old, they looked new! Thank you! read more

We looked for a long time for an honest, reliable, reasonable contractor who would do an excellent job of installing pavers with beautifully finished borders, could make helpful suggestions to our design, was pleasant to work with, who listened well and translated our vision into reality. We finally found Carlos and his team who just finished replacing our driveway and front walkway, and installing a patio in our back yard. Carlos and his crew did an awesome job every step of the way! Here is why Carlos and Alliance Pavers receive an unqualified 5-star rating. CARLOS Carlos was very patient with all our questions before the project started. This investment of time upfront made the project run smoothly, and allowed Carlos to quote us a price that was fair to him and to us. Carlos either came by, texted or called almost every day to check on progress and make sure everything was done to his and our satisfaction. He responded very quickly to all texts. Soon after he visited our house, Carlos gave us a detailed estimate and a firm and fair price. He worked closely with us to find the best price on the materials we selected and extended his contractor's discount to us. He always told me in advance when there would be expenses for additional material, such as polymeric sand or decorative gravel. He was cost conscious on our behalf and made sure we had enough material, but not too much left over. I felt completely confident that Carlos would take care of every detail, would clearly communicate all our requests to the crew, and that our project would turn out as beautifully as the driveways and patios Carlos had previously completed. Three of the 10 pallets that were delivered were the wrong color. It took a few days and a lot of legwork, but Carlos tracked down 3 pallets in the right color. It took extra hours to work out the exchange with the manufacturer, but Carlos totally took care of it, and communicated to us regularly throughout. THE TEAM Carlos' team did every job - large and small - excellently, including installing irrigation controls, moving sprinkler heads, digging out tree roots, sinking a clean out drain, neatly stacking old pavers on pallets to be recycled, running conduits for electrical and irrigation under driveway and patio, scrubbing the new driveway and patio, re-sodding the lawn where pavers had been removed, and rinsing the walls that were dusty. The demolition and prep crew (Melvin, Yciro, Rudy, Cary, and Dave) worked very hard and very efficiently. They worked well as a team. Uvelio and Daniel, the paver laying team, were amazing. They laid both small pavers (3"x9") and large (19"x32"), heavy pavers (120 lb each). In both cases, they were nothing short of perfectionists. They solved a number of tricky angles beautifully, cut pavers exactly, and consulted with us whenever there were decisions to be made about the pattern. They are true artists. And nice, to boot! Every team member was respectful of our property at all times, and respectful of our neighbors. Arrived on time and left everything neat and orderly at the end of every day so the area was clean and safe. At the end of the project we were astonished at the attention to restoring our yard to its original condition. THE WORK The team quickly and efficiently demolished and hauled away concrete driveway in just a few hours with minimum disturbance to our neighbors. Two large areas were excavated to the proper depth, and at the proper slope to drain water away from the house. It took just 2 days. You can tell how skilled someone is at laying pavers by how they prepare the bed and how they finish the edges at the borders. Uvelio and Daniel were able to execute our non-standard design very well. They communicated at every stage so we could together figure out how to handle smooth transitions at some of the weird angles. Uvelio and Daniel are master craftsman who take pride in their work. On the last day, Uvelio and Daniel arrived at 8 AM and did not leave until well after 6.30 PM, working later than usual so they could finish the job on time. As they were leaving, Uvelio saw a paver he didn't like. He took the time to remove and replace it. You can tell the character of the man when you see what he does when he thinks no one is looking. Carlos and Alliance Pavers have earned our unqualified recommendation. They exceeded our expectations. read more

I interviewed 7 companies before choosing Alliance Interlocking Pavers to make my patio look beautiful. As soon as I met Carlos, I knew his company was the one to choose. The team, with Marvin in charge, was great in that they were organized, professional, efficient and finished the job in the timeframe Carlos told me they would. Carlos' follow up and customer service is terrific. I am very particular and had asked for someone to come back to make some adjustments to the pavers. Carlos was so kind, responsive, and cooperative. Within 24 hours of my request(s) he had his team return to fulfill my requests. The pavers look beautiful! I had some doubts about doing an overlay but Carlos assured me that the result would be beautiful. He was right. I highly recommend Alliance Interlocking Pavers for their great work and terrific customer care. read more

Top notch service on our driveway! My wife and I had consulted several construction places and none of the others gave us too good of an impression. I found Alliance here on Yelp and we immediately felt comfortable using them. We are quite picky and particular, but Carlos and Melvin made it worked! Look no further, don't waste your time on other companies, this is is it! read more

If you are looking for a paving company- LOOK NO MORE. Absolutely the best around here. My small sidewalk job was completed in no time with highest workmanship and reasonable cost with all concerns addressed. Thank you Carlos!!! read more

I'm very happy with my interaction with Carlos and his workers. The recent storms took down an oak tree which destroyed a segment of fence and driveway. I called Carlos and he picked up the phone. I sent him some photos of the damage. The next day he came over with some workers to give me a quote. I had the quote two days later. He gave me a competitive price that I was happy with. I accepted and the following Monday his crew was working. They did a great job. The worksite was clean at the end of every day. His workers showed up at 8 each morning and worked hard. It was done in 4 days. Throughout Carlos was prompt and responsive through calls and text messages. I encourage you to give him a try! Honest, responsive, good work, competitive price. What else do you want?! read more

Carlos was willing to quote our small paver repair job at a reasonable price, unlike some others. His team did a great job re-paving a section around newly-placed fence posts, plus removing and replacing sections of existing pavers that had collapsed. Carlos came out personally to the job site at my request, listened to my input, and worked with his team to provide the best-possible transition between the old and new pavers. I highly recommend Alliance and Carlos for easy customer interaction, quality work, and reasonable pricing. read more

We hired Alliance to modify an existing installation with the expansion of the permeable paver area by a little over 300 sq ft. Alliance also power-washed our existing 8-year-old pavers and you can barely tell the old from the new. We bought our house as a down-to-studs fixer-upper 16 years ago and have had many contractors, from excellent to hellish, and Alliance is definitely among those we'd welcome back. Carlos communicated clearly and promptly. His team worked diligently, was responsive to feedback, and proposed good ideas for small tweaks to my project design. In as much as I can tell from watching Alliance and the previous installer, and reading ICPI specs for permeable pavers, the work was done correctly. I requested 6 quotes including from the original installer, received 3 quotes, and believe that Carlos's bid was fair. read more

Carlos and his team did a wonderful job installing new pavers. They even helped fixed a horrible job done by my previous paver installers, after 5 years, all the pavers became very uneven. I really appreciate their attention to detail. Their workmanship speaks for itself. Even before the job was completed, I already received a lot of compliments from my neighbors. I've worked with a lot of subcontractors, and working with Carlos has got to be one of the best experience. He's very responsive and actually picks up the phone and promptly communicates with his team so everything gets done the proper way. I highly recommend Carlos team to anyone looking to get paver work done. read more

I highly recommend this company for installing pavers. Their workmanship exceeded my expectations. Their price is fair and reasonable compared to many companys I have interviewed. The owner, Carlos, is very responsive with any concerns I have during the installation process. read more

Carlos and his team did exemplary work. The workmanship was phenomenal, they completed the work on schedule and were responsive to feedback and questions throughout. The job was to expand and regrade our driveway, pave it, and install new stone retaining walls along the front yard ( + a french drain along the side of the house). the home looks fantastic (and I'm confident the work has increased our resale value). French drain was effective: it poured a couple of days after the install and we had 0 water leakage in our basement. I couldn't be happier - definitely once of the best contractors I've ever worked with. read more

I'm too embarrassed to show the "before" picture - half a dozen 8-12in sinkholes in my backyard pavers, courtesy of a hundred generations of gophers - that made it more like the Sierras than the burbs. Carlos's guys arrived first thing Monday morning. By Tuesday lunch, they had removed about a thousand old paver stones, leveled and deweeded the underlay, laid a new drainage pipe, then meticulously cut, relaid, powerwashed, and polymeric sanded the entire thing. It was incredible to watch, and they have my sincere thanks. Carlos and his crew was great to work with, the price was very reasonable, and the quality was superb. Highly recommended! read more

Alliance Interlocking Pavers - After! (Note the dark spots are just water from the kids...) - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

Carlos and his team did a great job for my backyard. Previous owners of my house did not maintain it well so I asked Carlos to install 24 x 24 pavers. His estimate was fair and his team did a very good job and finished within 2 weeks as promised. I'm very happy with the result and would recommend them to anyone who's looking for paver installation. read more

Alliance Interlocking Pavers - After the installation - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

I had my backyard redone by having Alliance Interlocking Paver perform the job of removal of cracking cement, packing dirt and laying pavers. Incidentally, I had a 10-foot long French drain placed 8 inches below the cement level. I made sure that we covered the drain being connected to the PVC pipe which ended at the front sidewalk. Trusting they are replacing the drain, I did not inspect that the drain is actually connected to the PVC tubing. Incidentally, after a good storm we had on 2021, I had flooding in the garage! I consulted a contractor who pointed out that the French Drain was not connected to the PVC. I called Alliance regarding the drain and that response I got was that it has been 4 years since the project was completed... I am Not going to trust Alliance Pavers and hire this team at you own RISK!! Very unprofessional......... read more

Carlos gave us bad advise to reuse the old pavers. They look faded and awful. Polymeric Sand from the joints keep coming out. His contractor tried to fix it but still sand comes out and the joints have gaps and many cracks. He never showed up once the work was started. He is not responsive once the work was completed. Awful customer service. read more

Carlos and his team are amazing! What really stands out for me is the customer service they provide, as well as the attention to detail throughout the project. They worked hard to meet a deadline I set to finish my paver repair and maintenance job before a large event I was hosting at my house...and they did! Even if I saw some minor areas I wanted addressed, they did it with no hesitation and an excellent, can-do attitude. Young Carlos Palacios managed my paver restoration job, and he was respectful, kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. If he was running late, which happens all the time in the Bay Area due to unexpected traffic issues, etc., he made sure to communicate that. I have not always had that experience with other contractors I've hired for jobs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for paver work on their property. read more

Carlos was great to work with. The work was done on time with high quality at a reasonable price. Carlos and Melvin made it happen!

I would highly recommend Alliance if you are looking for a paver driveway. Carlos made himself extremely available from start through finish, addressed all questions and concerns throughout the process, and stuck to what he said would happen at the start. There were no surprises and a high amount of flexibility as my desires changed. The end result is as promised and looks great! read more

Carlos' team did a great job installing concrete pavers for my house. I could not be happier with the workmanship and customer service. It was a relatively small job and it is surprisingly difficult to find a licensed company willing to provide a quote. Carlos was very attentive and responsive from beginning to end. The work proceeded entirely as-planned and the final cost was per the original estimate. The crew left the site meticulously clean. Carlos did a final walk through with me and was genuinely focused on making sure I was 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend Alliance Interlocking Pavers. read more

Carlos was very easy to work with - polite, punctual, and reliable. His team did a very good job of replacing my old asphalt driveway with pavers. Before hiring Carlos, I did extensive reference check - he gave me a list or probably 30 names - and every single person with whom I spoke was very complimentary about Carlos and hist team. I now understand why and add my comments to other excellent reviews. It took longer than they promised to schedule the job after we signed the contract, but once they started, they stayed on schedule and completed everything on time. read more

Carlos and his team did a fantastic job on both installing pavers in my driveway and concrete patios in the backyard. Their workmanship is above any expectation that I might have had - they go an extra mile! Carlos excels at communicating too: he responded to all the questions and requests that came up before and during the project. His team finished the pavers install ahead of schedule. I highly recommend this professional team. I interviewed several other contractors and Carlos stood out from the start. Very pleased with the outcome! read more

I didn't use these because they were 15% more expensive then another quote I had. Carlos came over to give an estimate but he was highly professional and very courteous. Sorry I didn't use them in the end. read more

I was recommended Alliance Interlocking Pavers by a friend who just had a retaining wall installed. Carlos and Melvin are skilled craftsman and professionals in pavers / concrete installation. Their crew was professional, hardworking and efficient. Job site was meticulously maintained and cleaned during and after installation. Several reasons why I would chose Alliance: 1) They are licensed contractors - this is important if anything happens; 2) Fair and reasonable - Carlos came for a site analysis, came up with several options, and quote was very reasonable even after change order! 3) His crew was efficient and professional; 4) Both Carlos and Melvin are true professionals, experts and honest/trustworthy people - they both have been in business for decades. I am looking forward to using them again! read more

I needed to have our side yard paved, it was a mixture of broken concrete, dirt, gravel and not at all level. Carlos came out for a quote and was able to help me select exactly the pavers I was looking for. He is very responsive and I am incredibly happy with the customer service throughout the whole project, clear communication from Carlos and Melvin throughout the project. His team were professional and did an amazing job and it has transformed the yard. The extra steps they took with small touches such as installing a small concrete threshold with a hole for the cane bolt for my gate showed how they went the extra mile to make the job perfect. The final cost was as the original estimate and Carlos came at the end to go over the site and make sure I was satisfied with the completed work. I highly recommend Alliance Interlocking Pavers, I look forward to working with them again in the future. read more
