We could not recommend Malrie and Carlos enough. They took a blank slate and turned it into the backyard resort of our dreams. Malrie is a phenomenal designer (and person) --she guided us through every aesthetic and functional choice from layout to landscaping, and became a true friend throughout the process. She gave us peace of mind with transparent pricing and a clear payment schedule, taking all the financial stress out of the equation.Carlos and his crew showed up every single day and delivered flawless execution throughout. Arreola handled everything seamlessly, even coordinating with Anderson Arbors for our pavilion. Now, we are out in our yard every single day swimming in our new salt water pool, relaxing in the in-ground spa, or cooking in our outdoor pavilion (complete with a built-in kitchen and fireplace too). This was a massive project that turned out beautifully. We could not be happier. If you want a team that will guide you through an overwhelming process, make you feel 100% confident, and deliver exceptional craftsmanship, you want Malrie and Carlos. They are amazing people who go above and beyond. We are absolutely in love with our new yard! Happy to be a resource to anyone considering. read more

They came recommended from a trusted friend, but we knew we were ready to book Arreola when they suggested some instrumental design updates that would make our yard SO much more functional and it was nothing we could have come up with on our own. Once we started working with them, they were everything you'd want in an engagement and more. Extremely reliable, responsible, dependable, and definitely went above and beyond in so many ways. They walk you through every step of the process but also let you be involved with as little or as much as possible. So attentive and available whenever we had questions about anything. All of their crew onsite were friendly and respectful. We added on things along the way but they still met the original timeline discussed. We could not be happier with the turnout and spend so much more time in our yard now! Would recommend and happily be a resource for anyone considering. read more

Phenomenal job from design to finished work. We renovated our front yard, back yard and pool. This involved retaining walls, concrete, pavers, gas lines, irrigation, electrical, lights, fencing etc.. Lots of moving parts. Malrie is the design guru while Carlos and his crew execute the design with painstaking detail. Malrie brought to life a dull design we received from another outfit. Communication and expectations were clearly outlined. This is not the norm in my experience when dealing with contractors but critical when tackling a project as complex and expensive as ours. The value for the design/work was incredible compared to other companies we spoke with. Do yourself a favor and call Arreola Landscape. You'll be glad you did. read more

Carlos and Malrie are fantastic-probably the most professional landscaper I have worked with on explaining the contracting process to insight on getting my landscaping done for my best interest. My yard is small but they made it so functional, inviting and looks modern. Making a decision was not challenging at all as they told me what would work best and brought up good points for my space. I have 2 great walkways that not only look good but I won't have a falling hazard. I didn't know whether to do pavers or stamped concrete. The stamped concrete came out great and their design maximized my space which I didn't know on what to do as they did from their experience. They guided me on the best choice for my area for my dog which I really like versus a prior choice I had made with another landscaper which in the end was wrong. Very efficient, communicative and their workers were all considerate. They worked hard and were on task. The best experience with pro's! read more

We are very pleased with our French Grey Pebble. The service was very good and the crew was legit. I appreciate they came back to check on the process after it was completed. Everything looks great. read more

Arreola Landscape and Pool Design - Landscaping Near Me

We contacted Arreola Landscape to do a large water feature in our front yard. Our house is situated at the bottom of a slope, so we wanted to take advantage of the change in the grade and create a stream and waterfalls. Malrie and Carlos came up with a great design and made full use of the slope to create a 70' stream with multiple waterfalls, all blended in with large boulders and landscape, ending in a large pond at the bottom. The water is pumped back up to the upper waterfall and makes it way downstream to the pond. They took a lot of time on the design and added some nice touches with extra plants and ground cover so it fills in a large portion of the hill. The stream makes a pleasant noise, and seeing the water cascading down the stream and bubbling over the rocks and gravel is a very relaxing sound. About 3 months ago Arreola Landscape did a series of steps and pathways on the same hill, and they came out spectacular, so by adding in the water feature they ran the stream adjacent to the steps so it all blends in seamlessly. They do the job, they do it way above and beyond your expectations, very nice crew and very tidy, all debris is removed, they clean up and leave the yard looking better than before they got there. read more

We loved working with Carlos and Malrie! The combination of landscape architect and contractor made the job experienced and efficient. We love how they helped transform our backyard into the space of our dreams. read more

We can't thank Malrie and Carlos enough for the wonderful work they did with our backyard renovation. The project was the biggest renovation that my husband and I have done together and Malrie and Carlos really made it come together with ease. We did a complete renovation of our pool, including switching it to salt water. We built a gas fire pit, pergola and outdoor kitchen with gas BBQ and replaced a wooden patio and aggregate stone around the pool with beautiful new coping and stamped concrete. We had a large side yard with grass that really had trouble growing due to shade. We moved the gas for our pool and hot tub over to the side of the house where we couldn't grow any grass and also removed a large additional piece of lawn and replaced it with stamped concrete and created our new outdoor living space. All of our plants were 30 to 40 years old and really needed to be replaced. Malrie helped me pick out all new plants for the entire backyard including lovely olive trees and tiny tower cypress trees. It's a true oasis with hummingbirds visiting already! Because we took the entire backyard down to dirt, there was a lot of design work that needed to happen and Mallory was a true artist. She helped pick all of the colors for the pool tile and plaster, stamped concrete, coping, stucco, concrete for the fire pit and outdoor kitchen and guided us through the full design with wonderful suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own. Malrie, Carlos and team worked very quickly over approximately three months (mid Sept to early Dec 2021) and we couldn't be happier with the end product. Due to all the rain recently, we still need to have our stamped concrete and the top of the fire pit and outdoor kitchen sealed, but we will do that in the spring when things dry up and warm up. I would highly recommend Arreola Landscaping and Pool Design for your next backyard or front yard renovation project. It was a real pleasure to work with Malrie and Carlos. Both were very responsive, thoughtful, and patient with us. Their team always took care to leave our front and backyard clean and tidy each day. I know our neighbors appreciate their care, too! Posting some pics of our wonderful outdoor living space!! read more

We highly recommend Arreola Landscape and Pool Design to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space. Carlos and Malrie bring years of experience to each project and are exceptional at designing and building beautiful landscaping and pool transformations. We have used them at two different residences, and both times they created the perfect design for each space. They are very detailed, explain the process and what to expect very well, are competitively priced and deliver what they promise on time and on budget. read more

Malrie and Carlos were great to work with. They listen, really truly listen. Then, they follow through. My wife and I knew what we wanted and met with several contractors. Most pretended to listen, others attempted to push their ideas. Malrie is a great designer, she understood and fine tuned our design ideas and vision beyond our ability. Carlos was a master at turning our vision into a reality. Punctual, efficient and very professional. He runs a crew of good men. Their work speaks for itself. This was a large 1/3 acre backyard project. Arreola built or installed everything you see in the pictures (garage built by someone else). We would work with Malrie and Carlos in a heartbeat. read more

Malrie and Carlos have remodeled two pools for me. Their work is superb. They provide realistic estimates and timelines and manage their team to meet expectations on beauty, quality, safety, and durability . I have also always appreciated the care and respect with which they treat our property during a pool build, which requires moving heavy equipment. There has never been an issue with damage to the surrounding property, which is not always the case with contractors. Malrie and Carlos are also highly accountable. They genuinely want to delight their customers and go above and beyond to make sure you are completely satisfied with the outcome. Malrie's background in design is also a huge value-add. I recommend them highly. read more

Juan was very punctual in coming out to give us an estimate for re-plastering our spa, and replacing a couple of broken coping stones around our pool. His estimate seemed reasonable, but we figured we should try to get a second quote for comparison. That was rather painful as the other companies we contacted were either completely unresponsive, or spent all their time trying to 'upsell' us on remodeling our entire pool instead of just replastering the spa. Just to emphasize again, the above issues were with OTHER companies we spoke to, not Arreola, and only served to make us more appreciative of how Juan was such a straight-shooter who was willing to do the job we actually needed. We accepted Juan's bid, and the work proceeded incredibly quickly and smoothly. 3 separate crews came out in rapid succession to each do their phase - plaster demo, replaster, then coping stone replacement. We are extremely happy with the quality of Arreola's work and would happily use them in future if we need further work done. Our pool maintenance guy was also so impressed with their work that he's taken their details to pass on to some of his other clients - he says their work is amongst the best he's seen. Thank you Juan and crew. read more

Like a lot of people during Covid we decided we wanted to completely redo our backyard and put in a swimming pool. The process was difficult as there were so many companies in the Bay Area to choose from. I reached out to about seven different companies and right away it was obvious that Arreola would be the right company for us. They were very good at getting back to me, answering any questions, and the communication was excellent. I like the way that the contract was laid out. It was easy to see every detail of work that was going to be completed. They started the work in November and was completed under three months. Their workmanship was excellent, and the cost was reasonable as well. If I had any questions or concerns, they addressed it immediately and we were able to move forward. I am so pleased with all the work that was done. They put in a brand new pool with a hot tub with an automatic cover, all new concrete hardscape, new fence with a beautiful gate, retaining wall, lights, trees and grass. Backyard looks unbelievable now. It's exactly what I dreamed I would have. I highly recommend this landscape\pool company! We spend so much more time now in the yard swimming, barbecuing and just enjoying our friends and family. Thank you Malrie and Carlos for making the process pleasing and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! read more

We worked with Malrie and Carlos for a complete renovation of our back and front yard, which included hardscape (concrete patio, pergola with a fan, DG, lighting / electrical, irrigation) and a lot of planting. It was truly a pleasure to work with them. From the beginning Malrie was very receptive to our vision, creating a design that incorporated what we wanted while also being realistic with us about what was feasible from a cost perspective, and worked closely with us to make sure everything came out the way we wanted. I also liked that, in the design phase, she provided options for us at different price ranges for various aspects of the project. She and Carlos were also really patient with us as we kept adding things to the project (including the front yard, which was not in the original plan!). Carlos and his construction team were also amazing. They showed up early every day and really went above and beyond. In fact, the project finished ahead of schedule. They felt like true partners and advisors for this project, which made the whole experience a delight (how many people can say that about a renovation??). In fact, my husband and I often say how we miss getting to see them so often now that the project is over :-) Both our front and back yard have gone from being a weed jungle to a joyful space and our house isn't the eyesore of our court anymore! Needless to say, 10/10 highly recommend. read more

We had an area that had not been taken care of for years. Ivy and juniper and a whole bunch of other stuff were there. Arreola made it beautiful. It's now open and matches the rest of our landscape. Malrie was an amazing lead on ​the project. It was easy to communicate to her and she kept me in the loop on what was going on. If any other landscape projects come up I will be contacting them again!! read more

We used Malerie and Carlos to do a full yard renovation including a pool, infinity edge spa, fire pit, trellis, hardscaping, front and all the landscaping.

Our dream came true. We always wanted a backyard oasis with a pool. We were recommended to Carlos and Malrie - and boy did we choose the right team. They compliment each other - Carlos is an outstanding builder and Malrie is an outstanding designer. We knew what we wanted, but had no idea how to visualize it. She made the process easy and fun. What we ended up with was far better than anything we could have ever imagined. It is STUNNING. We have not left our oasis in over a month - it really is a dream come true. We looked into other companies - but they do not compare to this team. Choose them and you cannot go wrong! And, we now have two more fabulous friends! read more

This is an artisanal pool and landscaping company, that turned an unused small side yard into a gorgeous pool and deck area. Malrie, the landscape designer, integrated my large rock collection (petrified wood, etc) into the planted areas, so it's not only gorgeous but also personal. The pool itself is a delight. The best thing about Malrie and Carlos is that they communicated with us frequently and were easy to reach. Even after all of the work was completed they called to see how everything was. I highly recommend them. read more

Arreola Landscape and Pool Design - a pool surrounded by trees - Landscaping Near Me

For 20 years, we dreamed about it. 9 years, we saved for it and this year, Malrie & Carlos made our dream yard & pool a reality for our family. And honestly, they took our initial ideas & made it even better than we ever could have envisioned! Having been homeowners of four different homes and worked with multiple contractors, this was truly the smoothest sailing we've ever had on a big house project! We hired Arreola to completely make-over both our front & back yards and put in a brand new pool! The result is fantastic! Malrie truly listened to our needs & honored our budget, asked great questions to understand our lifestyle, priorities & aesthetic. All the special features she incorporated into her plans truly illustrated that she really "got us!" And, while some creative thinkers have trouble with organization and follow through, Malrie is equally gifted in both areas of landscape design & project management. Her communication is second-to-none. She checked in frequently, making sure we were all aligned, as my husband & I sometimes had differing opinions! She somehow found a way to understand & respect both our wants & needs, always coming up with an elegant compromise! She was always one step ahead, scheduling our next phase & bringing samples by to keep us moving forward. And each time, her choices surpassed expectation! We looked forward to each and every encounter as she is so warm & wonderful. An absolute pleasure to work with. Carlos was equally amazing to work with. He led his crew with the utmost professionalism... He has an incredible work ethic. We could always rely on him to be on time & to keep things on track. Even though we had stops & starts out of our control due to the timing during Shelter In Place, he had great ideas to reprioritize, maximizing the most important elements. We're amazed at how little our delay was despite the unprecedented quarantine! Carlos is a proactive problem solver & extremely calm under pressure. He has very high standards for quality & an unbelievable attention to detail! He never once compromised quality on this project even though we challenged him with a few tricky & extremely time-consuming elements in our design. He is kind, compassionate & caring and it was a joy having he & his team work in our space. We would work with Malrie & Carlos all over again. We are beyond thrilled with our gorgeous new outdoor paradise. We are overjoyed we chose them & would chose them all over again! We highly recommend Arreola! read more

It has been a little over two years since Arreola put in our font and back yard landscaping, and we continue to get compliments about our yard. People ask me all the time, "Who did you're your front yard? Did they do all the work? Who did the design? Were they expensive? Each and every time I say Arreola, except about the expensive part; for that I say they were competitive. Now I can add helpful and thankful. Recently, I discovered a persistent water leak in the sprinkler valve area. Unfortunately, water was leaking even when the system was not running. It was near the house, and I had nightmares of water pooling under our home. I texted Carlos looking for recommendations regarding investigation and repairs. To my astonishment, Carlos had his team come out and fix the issue themselves. As it turns out, it was a faulty valve (Hardware failure), and the Arreola team fixed it that day. This was not at all what I expected, especially since Arreola did the work over two years ago. I cannot thank Carlos and Malrie enough. They knew when they first did our yards that I have a phobia to water leaks, so their prompt action will be forever appreciated. Mike Call read more

Well this is a start to a long road, we are pursuing in court. Having to try and recoupe a mess at my home. A fire started in my barbaque by a pinched gas line installed by Carlos. We tried to negotiate a fix but we were blamed for taking advantage of the situation. Just wanted my barbaque to work . That's the truth. We also had to replace the putting green that was installed by there team which the contractor who fixed it said one of the worst seams he has seen. Other issues that were half measures too but I don't have the space here to share to lengthy . Be careful with this company. I did not want to write this but have to warn other potential victims. read more

We worked with Malrie and Carlos on a full backyard makeover, including new pool, kids play area, concrete patio, and full landscaping in front and back. This was the biggest renovation project we have ever done and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience working with them. The quality of work and attention to detail by Carlos and his team is amazing. Malrie and Carlos compliment each other perfectly with her eye for design and his ability to make the design into a reality. The entire process was so smooth. They communicated with us throughout the project so we always knew what was going on. Our pool and backyard turned out way better than we could have imagined. We still can't believe it's ours! Malrie and Carlos are responsive, reliable and professional and we would highly recommend them over and over! read more

Thanks to Carlos and Malrie we now have a backyard to be proud of. An entertainer's dream! We come home every night to a little oasis that was made especially for us. Working with the Arreola team was easy, they listen to what you want and stay within budget. We went from dirt and grass to a pool, entertainment patio, and built-in kitchen/BBQ. All with lush foliage that will grow in to complement the surrounding areas. Any and all concerns were handled quickly and with mutual respect for one another. I've already given their names to several close friends and recommended the company on a group Facebook page for the Tri-Valley. read more

We like to entertain, but we have a two-level backyard. Malrie came up with a beautiful design to tie our levels together perfectly! The end product far exceeded our expectations!! The first notion was to move the hot tub so we could make the BBQ the focal point for entertaining. She nailed the perception of the redesign and relocation. We plan to add an outdoor sofa along the lower wall with a fire pit and chairs. We also plan to add dining down below plus a bistro set and bar stools up above and perhaps another table and chairs. We have a beautiful high-end ping pong table we plan to use on the east side of the house and/or corn hole, so that is how we plan to use our space given we have children. Once our furniture is in, I will add more photos. For now, Malrie designed and Carlos executed seamlessly. They were on time and on budget with a pleasant and polite work crew too. All contractors should be like them. I found them through friends of friends and I would highly, highly recommend. OUR BACKYARD IS BEAUTIFUL and we are ready for summer! I can't wait to pull it all together now with furniture and details. Thank you Arreola, we sincerely love it! read more

A truly excellent experience with Malrie and Carlos and their crew. After too many years of dreading looking out at our backyard wilderness and seeing our front yard looking increasingly worn out, we finally decided to do a complete renovation of both yards. Malrie met with us first to help us visualize and design the back yard. She listened closely to what we wanted and after a few very fun as well as thoughtful conversations she designed a beautiful backyard with drought tolerant plants, stamped concrete patio and pergola. Then we decided the front yard really needed a complete makeover as well, so back to the drawing board. Malrie produced another exquisite design. We were given a full estimate of cost prior to signing a contract, so no surprise fees and excellent work. Carlos and his crew started working within two days of when they said they would and finished our project right on time. Even after completion, Malrie and Carlos were responsive to any questions we had. The designs were brought to life with precision and efficiency and our yards are now the picture of perfection. We love being in our backyard now and look forward to spending more hours outside than inside. This was one of the best experiences we have had with a contractor in 30 years. read more

Not only do we have our dream backyard, we also had the best experience ever with a contractor. Malrie and Carlos are complete professionals. Malrie has an excellent design aesthetic. She listened to our wish list and expanded it beyond our expectations. Carlos and his team executed the design with as little disruption as possible. He explained the process so that we knew what to expect. All that is left to do is to enjoy this beautiful oasis complete with a built-in barbecue, water feature, firepit, and arbor. And the landscaping is gorgeous! read more

Arreola Landscaping did a complete backyard and pool renovation for us this year, replacing an old broken concrete patio, renovating a 50-year-old pool and updating a previously dilapidated yard that we almost never used for fear of injury. Two things I will say about Malrie, who is the point person we communicated most with. First, she is a design genius. She has an art background that she uses to come up with beautiful landscape plans. For us, she came up with a beautiful backyard, understanding that we wanted something family-friendly, with modern features that would work with an old, unmodern house, and that would fall within our budget. (Other contractors we interviewed poo-pooed our budget immediately, while she was completely open to the idea of splitting the project into stages to accommodate our level of comfort.) We have been thoroughly enjoying the new backyard, eating fresh veggies from our garden, and have received many compliments from everyone who's seen it. Secondly, I think you will be hardpressed to find any other contractor who is as honest, genuine, and direct as Malrie. She has a way of making her clients feel at ease, such that it is easy to ask questions, make requests, and voice concerns. By getting to know her clients well, she is able to get a sense of your style and interests, and she integrates those into her design. She is extremely responsive, warm and funny. In terms of implementing the design, Carlos and his team paid incredible attention to detail, going above and beyond what we expected. Carlos was very hands-on, doing much of the work alongside his crew, rather than just being a manager. He is quieter than Malrie, but always very responsive when we had questions. Despite their many years of concrete experience, we had one issue with having the concrete poured right before several torrential rainstorms, which resulted in some blotchy curing of concrete. Malrie showed her resourcefulness, speaking with other experienced concrete workers to find a solution, which they then used to fix the problem. It has been about two months since they completed the project, and most of the residual splotchiness has faded, as she assured us it would. In short, we really loved the work done by Arreola Landscaping and would use them again in a heartbeat. My advice to anyone who hires them is to always keep the lines of communication open and to trust that they truly seek to make their clients happy. read more

Carlos and Malrie recently helped us plan and install a new outdoor kitchen and redo the landscaping for a large property that hadn't been taken care of in several years.  We purchased the property as a short sale in 2015 and the entire 1/3rd of acre was covered in weeds and overgrown trees. Planning: Malrie was incredibly helpful in the design phase of the project.  From drawing up initial sketches of the outdoor kitchen, to preparing a book with pictures of plants, flowers, and trees that would go into each section of the property.  She took a task that had overwhelmed us for 2 years and made it straight forward and simple.  We had very little comments on her initial design, but she was very easy to work with on the few comments we had. Landscaping: Carlos and his team did an unbelievable job converting piles of dirt and weed into a beautiful yard.  His team ran new drip irrigation to all plants, including our existing trees.  2 months later everything is thriving and looking better than we could have hoped for.  In addition to planting several hundred plants, Carlos also installed landscape lighting which has added a new element to our yard and makes sitting in the backyard at night that much more amazing. Outdoor kitchen: My man cave...A reason to BBQ every night... What else can I say.  I had been dreaming of redoing the poorly designed outdoor kitchen since the day we moved into the house.  Carlos built everything to perfection and my words can not do it justice.  Our friends and family are equally impressed and this has become a staple of the backyard.  Hopefully the pictures do it justice, because I can't say enough good things about it. Overall - We highly recommend working with Malrie and Carlos.  They are very friendly and outgoing, and easy to have a glass of wine with after a long week of work for us and them.  Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.  If you chose Arreola landscaping, you will not be disappointed. read more

Malrie and Carlos recently completed a landscape update on my outdoor space. They have a great design sense that fit well with our Eichler house. We are now set with drought resistent, low maintenance plants trees and bushes. They are very professional in that we thoroughly talked through plans, and they handled challenges well. As we added scope they were fair and integrated it into the schedule. They have a fantastic team that do quality work. There were no shortcuts, and we worked through the details until we were all happy. They are the type to enjoy a good finished product as much as the client. It has been 6 weeks since completion, all the hard scape work looks and functions beatifully and all the plantings are already filling in. I highly recommend Arreola. We are going to enjoy our outdoor space for years thanks to them. read more

The best decision we made in renovating our backyard was working with Malrie and Carlos. We did a full backyard project including a pool, grass area, and multiple concrete patios. From the very beginning Malrie understood my vision and worked to make it come to fruition. She provided me guidance and was completely transparent in helping us decide on what to spend extra money on and when not to. She knew all the ins and outs of the paperwork/business side and managed anything that came up to make sure the project ran smoothly. She had great communication with me on a regular basis and prepared me for every next step. The same crew was here every day (unless they had a subcontractor specialist), and Carlos managed the building portion from start to finish. Carlos or Malrie were here anytime there was a subcontractor to oversee the work and manage communication. We absolutely love the space that was created for us, and every person that comes over to enjoy the backyard says it feels like they are at a high-end resort. The team was so great that we are having them come back to do more landscaping work. I really appreciate working with people I trust and know they will treat my project like it was their own backyard. read more

First let me start off by saying my review is based on services that were not received. I reached out to Arreola for a quote on a pool installation. One of the owners (the wife) came out to take pictures and advised me of the services that could be provided. After spending about an hour with her she informed me that she would get an image of my house on google satellite and will perform measurements and provide me with a quote. After waiting about two weeks and not hearing anything I followed up to see when I could expect to receive a quote. I sent a text message followed up with a voicemail. Another few weeks go by and no response. I call one more time and reach the owner who visited my property and informed her I was still interested and was following up because I never received the quote. She advised me she had been sick with pneumonia and was attempting to get better but would certainly follow up with me. I wished her well, and waited about 3-4 weeks and didn't hear anything. I followed up one more time leaving a voicemail and sending a text message. The voicemail indicated she was out of town and would respond upon her return. Well one month later and I have yet to receive a response. I really wanted to work with them and my wife really liked the owner who came out but I just can't recommend this type of customer service. Not only did I make time to be available when she came to view the property but I also delayed moving forward with other contractors waiting on a quote. I just think if your too busy or don't want the project you should communicate this to the customer. I was really hesitant against leaving this review however I felt it was best to share my experience in hopes this will help out the next customer or even the business in regards to customer service expectations. read more

Carlos and Malrie and their exemplary crew just finished a renovation of my backyard and pool. My backyard had a lot of wasted space that I wanted to use, and the pool was old and dated. Malrie listened to me and worked with me to come up with the design. She has a great eye and suggested many ideas that I would not have thought of. I signed a contract with them in December, and my start date was May 20. They started on time and finished early. They were here nearly every day during the project, unlike many contractors who go back and forth between several projects at one time. They were really nice people to work with. Everyone was pleasant and professional. Now my backyard and pool are a beautiful oasis that will be great for entertaining friends and family, and enjoying myself. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

The design was developed together was put to life and we now have an inviting front yard. read more

We couldn't be more pleased with the work Malrie and Carlos did for us!!! We have a completely new front yard.

We have no hesitation to recommend them, and hope that they will be able to transform our back yard in the spring. Ron and Pat G. San Ramon read more

I can't rave about Malrie and Carlos enough! After 4 years of our backyard being overrun by our dogs, we decided to do a remodel to get ready for Summer. We wanted to change our horrid lawn to beautiful stamped/stained concrete, create a dog run, plant some trees along our fence, add some outdoor lighting, rebuild our patio cover, and install an outdoor electrical outlet. Their pricing was actually on the lower end of the bids we received, but the quality of their work was as if we paid the big bucks! They responded quickly to all of my questions and clearly communicated the process with me. I've never done a remodel project with a contractor before, and feared that I would be taken advantage of (which nearly happened with the contractor that contacted me before Malrie and Carlos), but Malrie explained the contract to me clearly and even taught me things to equip me in dealing with contractors for future projects. I truly appreciated this. I worried that they wouldn't be able to start the project until we were well into Summer, but they figured out a way to schedule us in between two other major projects and got everything done faster than we expected! Carlos managed the entire project onsite and his team was made up of the nicest guys! As the project went along, there were things that I decided to add, and they were awesome at accommodating those additions. Also, with all design choices, Malrie and Carlos were great at suggesting cost-effective options. They definitely went the extra mile for us, and we highly recommend them! read more
