It took me years to find the right person to take on a paver job. My house is quite unique in that it's almost 100 years old and has a basement, therefore sits on quite a steep slope. Although work was previously completed to help with grading, there was still a lot of Intricate planning and consideration for drainage and further leveling. The basement was flooding, and I had a pool built 2 years ago that was raised more than it should've been, so I had to account for that as well. I was referred to Eddie by my realtor turned friend. She knew of two separate jobs that he completed, and those clients were very happy with the end results. I texted Eddie October 30th, and he responded right away. Within the hour, he was at my house to discuss my goals for my backyard. I got a very good feeling about him and how he approached his projects. Mind you, I had already spoken to 4+ contractors and It just didn't click. Eddie was up for the challenge as excited about my project as if it was his own home. He made recommendations on pavers that may fit the aesthetic and even suggested I go look at the product in person to make sure I liked it (catalogue photos can look different). He was spot on and I chose 24X24 Porcelain pavers. Before moving forward, I asked Eddie if he would walk me through solutions for known problem areas - again, he was at my house within the hour. All my concerns were addressed, and I signed the contract. The quote was very reasonable for the work that needed to be done so I paid my 50% deposit, and scheduled Nov 6th as the start date. I won't bore you will all the boring details, but prep started right on time. My backyard was a mess (see before and after photos for proof) so it took a few days to get everything ready for drainage and pavers. Aside from some rainy days, everything went smoothly. Eddie's crew is amazing. The paver master Jairo was ridiculously meticulous. At one point, I communicated that the standard pitch of pavers looked too obvious, so we talked through it and decided to reduce pitch by a smidge (which made a huge difference). That meant they had to undo the work and redo it. I felt awful, but they had no complaints. I personally miscalculated the square footage, so I had to purchase a few more pavers, but nothing major. They had the job done within the timeframe discussed and the result is beautiful. See for yourself! For this project, my biggest concern was drainage. The pool is next to the house/basement so making sure water moved away from the house as well as away from the pool was top of mind. Being November, I assumed that I'd have to wait for the next downpour to see if everything worked as intended BUT lucky me, it poured on the 26th and boy was I happy. The drainage worked beautifully!! The channel drains did their job, and the gutters/downspouts were routed away from the property and pool. I will recommend Eddie and his team to anyone looking for a reliable contractor. I am very pleased. When I decide to do the side yard, I will be hiring him again for the work. Thanks for everything, Eddie!

We intended to use Elite Designer Landscaping to do the pavers and landscaping for our lanai and…read moreback and side yards. We ended up contracting with them additionally to install synthetic turf and an eight-hole putting green, as well as drainage for our side yard gutters. The drainage was sufficient. The pavers turned out great. However, I am disappointed in the turf and green. The seam in the two-piece green is clearly visible. The cups are not seated properly. The top of the cups should be about 1/8 inch below the lip of the hole but most of them stick up an 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the hole. The green itself appears to only be attached to the underlying surface where they drove in staples. And the staple depressions are visible. As a result, a putted ball will skip and bounce along the surface instead of rolling end over end. I give the paver work five stars, the drainage four, and the turf and putting green three, for an overall grade of four stars. Highly recommend for paver and landscaping work but would not recommend for turf and or putting green installation.

When we raised our concerns, management's response was to either pay the additional charges or halt work, leaving the job unfinished.

Additionally, they refused to provide the "complimentary" maintenance package as promised. Like most companies, they should have a clear policy regarding change orders or additional charges. Also for clarity we were told this would be a 1 day installation. The actual time was 4 days.
