I can't even begin to say how happy my wife and I are with Cesar and the crew from C&R Pavers. They knocked it out of the park! This company was highly recommended to me and I can see why. They came in and demoed my old driveway, actually the entire front of my house as well on a Monday morning! Pavers came next day. All work was completed including a wall by Thursday and sealed Friday morning. Was able to enjoy it all that weekend. Amazing work. And the price was better than I could ever have hoped. I had a concrete quote that was over 5k more for the same area and would have been just boring concrete. The work was so reasonable I had them back the following week to do another 1100 feet on the property to match. These are beautiful stones and a wall as mentioned. Thank you so much C&R Pavers! Cesar, you and the crew did such a great job. I will definitely schedule as soon as I can for the back yard we discussed. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm the talk of the neighborhood. Even from the other houses here you've done. now I have to paint the house. read more

We Hired C&R pavers to do Pavers, built in grill, and Built in firepit. They worked with us on our budget and completely knocked it out of the park with what we hoped the jobs completion would do. Cesar was attentive in our requests and went above and beyond to ensure that we were not only going to get the job done in a timely manner but also get the job done exactly the way we wanted it to be. Regina also was very helpful communicating all job updates and addressing all small concerns we had along the way. The Crew were lighting fast and efficient and did a fabulous job cleaning up after themselves each day they were present. I would hire/recommend C&R pavers for anyone looking to do a similar project. read more

After interviewing over 12 different local contractors, I selected C&R Pavers for all my pavers (over 4000 SF), drainage, putting green (over 1300 SF), basketball court (over 1150 SF), retaining walls, BBQ island, and Firepit. I selected C&R because I believed they were a local, family owned company who would stand by their word and stand behind their work. The did not disappoint! Cesar is a consummate professional, well versed in all aspects of outdoor landscaping. His wife, Regina, basically runs all the planning and administrative activities and was excellent to deal with throughout the engagement. The coordination on my job was especially difficult because I was acting as the GC coordinating with the pool company, the patio cover contractor, the softscape / planting and irrigation contractor, and the lighting contractor. C&R's piece was a critical 3 week engagement which they started on time, managed well, and finished on time, as promised. This enabled me to keep the project seamless and enabled me to complete well ahead of many of my neighbors who used other contractors. THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE DEDICATION, COMMITMENT, AND EXPERTISE OF CESAR AND REGINA! I would not hesitate to recommend C&R for any similar job, and welcome anyone to contact me for additional feedback as needed. read more

These guys have done it again. We hired C and R pavers 3 years ago for our pool project and back yard. We hired them again to do our whole front yard and we are truly impressed. Cesar and Regina were ultra responsive on the phone and came to the job site to make sure we were happy. Pedro, the project supervisor was again spot on and his attention to detail was impressive. Tons of curves and custom steps and borders were made by the repetitive cutting of each and every paver joint on each curve. We highly recommend them. They were here everyday for 3 weeks and worked hard each and every day, even in 107 degree heat. On the 1 month mark, they came back and sealed our concrete driveway and made sure each paver was right and corrected (added sand) each joint to make sure it was done right. We highly recommend them due to their attention to detail, punctuality, work ethic, professionalism, price, and quality of work. Pedro is an artist when it comes to following your exact design specs. Thanks again C and R for your hard work and it looks awesome. I'll post a ton of pics following this review. read more

A Contractor You Can Trust In my last review, I mentioned that the Plumbing Company had to dig a trench in the courtyard. Now I will tell you about who reconstructed the courtyard. After the big mess in the courtyard, I had to find a company to reconstruct the courtyard, who better than the company which originally built the courtyard? Cesar Jimenez is not only one of the contractors which I work with, but he is one of the best contractors in San Diego County. Cesar is the contractor who originally built the courtyard (read my past review about C&R Pavers). To the detail, Cesar built this work of art, exactly according to my specifications & design. I don't post photos because I don't want people to copy my designs. I am an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist & Cesar passed my test; therefore, once more I hired him to fix his own work of art! I called Regina (The Better Half & the R of C&R Pavers) to send Cesar (The Worst Half & the C of C&R Pavers) to my estate to fix this mess. Even though they are busy with big jobs, but she made room to take care of me, after all, no job is too small for them. Big job, small job, they will make you happy. Fastest Contractor this Side of Rio Grande As I stated in my previous review of C&R, Cesar is the "Fastest Contractor this Side of Rio Grande" (literally). I granted him that title & I even refer to him as "Speedy Gonzales"! He is my only contractor who actually finished the job ahead of the schedule! This time, he could not break his record, but it is not his fault. It is the rainy season & the rain delayed his work. They had to stop work when the rain started. So, Cesar came over with 2 of his best workers & started on the job. For big jobs, Cesar drops 10 workers to finish the job fast (like originally building my courtyard) but for this job, he only needed 2 workers. Cesar ordered the Angelus Pavers from Rialto, California. In one & half days (before rain started) the workers finished the paving. After the rainy days, on the third day of work, to make it up to me (due to the delays), Cesar came over himself & he re-sanded, pact, swept, cleaned & sealed the pavers himself. I could not ask for a better worker. The boss himself had done the finishing touches. In my previous review of C&R, I vastly explained about their quality & system of work. Over here, I only state that C&R Pavers works speedy, hard, clean & hands you a detailed finished job. I hire a lot of contractors, but until this day, Cesar is one of my best contractors. As usual, he stood up to his reputation & fine work. It was good to see Cesar again & it was the correct choice to hire C&R. For outdoor construction from patios, driveways, grill islands, full kitchens, pool deck pavers, fireplaces, fire pits, pillars, columns, walkways, all the way to building complete front courtyard (as he built for me), C&R Pavers is the best construction company to work with. Why you ask? Fast work, clean work, detailed work & reasonable prices. You can't beat that. I know I can always count on Cesar to do a perfect job for me, you can do too. read more

BEWARE!!!!! Use at your own risk. C&R Pavers does poor quality work, will not respect your property and are not accountable for their workmanship. They damaged my property and will not even come back out to see the damage and discuss resolving. I engaged C&R Pavers to build a walkway on the side of my house and had several issues with the job. First C&R dumped excess sand not used in job (a lot) into my dry river bed which was easily visible and would have blocked up the drainage of my yard. Upon complaining they removed sand, but in the process killed the Armeria plants that sat in the dry river and left the riverbed stones in disarray causing me hours of work to reset. Secondly, they did not do the work as we had discussed and cut corners in constructing the walkway. Instead of using polymeric sand as discussed (and as is the standard with pavers) , they laid normal sand under the walkway and in the joints. They attempted to use a sealing agent over top to keep water from penetrating, but it did not work causing the walkway to be permeable. The sand has not held up, eroding in many places upon normal exposure to rain and water application to nearby planters. Worse the water getting through the walkway is sitting up against my foundation and has damaged the stucco on my house causing it to peel off. I am left with significant damage to my house. Cesar has not been willing to make appointment to look at this or seek to resolve despite 2+ months of my attempting to contact him. Needless to say working with C&R is not worth the risk....use someone else. read more

Originally we started on paving our backyard with another contractor. After numerous problems with the project and the contractor walking off the job I went to yelp and found Cesar with C and R Pavers. I contacted him because of all the positive reviews on yelp. Those reviews were absolutely correct. I called Cesar and he came out the same day.He pointed out all the problems with the workmanship of the former contractor which were more than we thought. He basically had to tear out all the existing work and start over. He finished the backyard ahead of schedule with fantastic workmanship. We thought his prices were fair and that he was very easy to work with. I'm in a business where reliability, integrity and honesty is a requirement. Cesar has all of these qualities. He committed to doing several things that were not even in the original contract and he did them. The guys who work for him work very hard and their workmanship is of a high quality. After he completed the backyard we decided to do the front yard and driveway because we were very happy with the job he did. I know five stars is the highest rating you can give on yelp but if I could I would have given him 6. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so take a look at these pictures and decide for yourself. read more

C&R Pavers did a great job to repave our small back/side yard. I worked with David Torres on getting the quote and all the preliminary steps, and he was always responsive and diligent in helping to answer questions and concerns, without putting pressure on his client. He is friendly and knowledgable about the many aspects and details of the project, material selection, impact on cost, comparison with similar projects, etc. His crew were also dependable and hard-working; we had to adjust a couple of things early on, for which they cooperated easily, and after that they progressed quickly, and also helped out with flipping the back yard gate so that it opens toward the outside back alley. I would highly recommend C & R Pavers for your hardscaping needs. Attached are before & after photos of our back/side yard. read more

To start, my husband and I had gotten multiple bids from different companies. Every Saturday one was scheduled to come over, check out our yard and quote us. Not a single company did we feel comfortable with nor gave us the "right" quote until we met with C & R Pavers. From the moment I called and talked to Cesar, I knew that he was going to be our guy. We had looked at different brochures and catalogs from paver companies and there was this one hardscape design that looked just absolutely beautiful. We called the company and asked about that type of paver, and the rep from that company told me to call Cesar because he was the guy that did the job that was in that catalog. I thought, he must be expensive if his work is in catalogs and brochures, but I called him anyway and am so glad that I did! He was the one that was the MOST reasonable and the one that was the nicest! Cesar and his wife Regina came over and were such a pleasure to work with. I felt as if we were dealing with family. They are honest, sincere and very humble people. We felt very comfortable with them and decided to seal the deal! Our backyard now looks like it came straight out of a magazine! Beautiful work! Everyone that comes over compliments our yard and asks "Who did this?" Not only do they do beautiful work, but they finished it in a very reasonable time. Every day, there was tremendous progress. They are a very hard working team. I'm also happy to say that C & R Pavers also redid my cousin's backyard! So happy that I can refer C & R to family and friends. I wholeheartedly recommend C & R Pavers to anyone that is looking to redo their backyard! You will not regret it. Best investment we ever made...by far! read more

Go with this company - you will love them, your backyard will look spectacular and you will be very happy with them. Very responsive, detail orientated, take pride in their work, timely and finished the job early. We had an outstanding experience with C&R Pavers. Caesar (company owner) was wonderful to work with. We are very grateful for the beautiful work they did in our backyard and will work with them again in the future. read more

C&R Pavers is amazing! We had Cesar come visit us 3 times because we were being indecisive about what we wanted for our hardscaping, but we got more ideas from Cesar and started adding some things. Cesar was patient and helped us til the end. Even during the installation he helped with minor changes to make the project even better. He ordered extra material to make sure everything was complete and we ended up with a little bit extra for stairs/wall area. His staff is just as amazing. They greeted us every morning and we were able to talk to them. His team made us feel welcome to the project and make sure we knew how the progress was doing and what the schedule was. We highly recommend Cesar and the C&R Pavers team. Their craftsmanship is awesome and price is fair. They even completed a 3 week job a half week early! Cesar provided diagram for us to submit to HOA approval. He replied to calls/messages promptly before and during the installation. One of the best parts of C&R is that the team is part of C&R not subcontracted. Great experience and highly recommend. read more

We received quotes from 5 different paving companies before deciding to work with C&R Pavers for a complete demolition of our backyard and replacing the grass strips in our driveway with pavers. While most of the companies came in with similar pricing to C&R we immediately felt at ease with the C&R team and knew that they would be easy to work with. Our project was finished in a timely manner and turned out as perfectly as we expected. All of the C&R employees that worked at our house were pleasant, friendly & professional. The head of our job came by on multiple occasions and kept us updated on the progress and what to expect next. We love our new driveway and backyard (which looks 5x bigger now that the grass & patio were replaced with pavers and a fire pit), and we would recommend C&R to anyone. read more

Cesar and his team completed a top notch makeover of our backyard. Cesar, the owner went above and beyond to ensure 100% satisfaction with design, implementation and follow up. He was responsive to questions, concerns and met with us at times convenient to our difficult work schedules. He was always on time and kept his word on work timeframes and expectations. The C & R work crew, led by Pedro were hard working and efficient. They tackled all we requested of them and more. We appreciate their efforts and are really pleased with the outcome of our new yard. Thanks to C & R we spend much more time outside our house than before. Do yourself a favor, seek out Cesar at C & R pavers. You will appreciate their work. read more

C & R Pavers just remodeled my backyard. My husband and I are thrilled with the results! We started out obtaining three quotes for the work we wanted. This included: demolition of concrete slab backyard flooring, tumbled pavers put down for patio flooring with in floor electrical lighting, an outdoor gas fireplace, stone veneer applied along the back retaining wall and around our BBQ island, a pad made of pavers for a new spa, artificial turf, and a new gate installation with stone veneer columns. After meeting with David at C & R Pavers I knew this was the company I would hire! As it turns out, they were also the better priced quote! These guys are meticulous with their work. They are proud of what they do and it shows everyday while they work. Take a look at our before and after pictures! We highly recommend C & R Pavers! read more

David, Cesar, and Pedro family owners of the C&R Pavers did a fantastic job remodeling my backyard. It went from dirt to a tropical paradise. I actually did the design and they executed the transformation better than I expected. They had expert workmen who's workmanship was totally incomparable to other companies I've have in the past with our other homes. I will definitely call them again and sincerely recommend them to all. I've attached some photos. read more

Do not get DG done by them I had a large job done back in September. I got a paver patio and a large area of dg with a paver border. It did look really nice and everyone at the company was really nice to work with. Unfortunately the dg is full of weeds and grass even though it has only been three months and I've cared for it the way I was told. The project manager assured me that weeds are not a big problem, especially because they dig so far down and use commercial grade weed fabric. I called him to discuss the issue because he said to call him any time, and we had actually discussed doing work in the future. He never returned by calls. I called the office and the office manger never returned my calls either. I just called again and a tech happened to pick up. He said "what do you want me to do about it, stop it from raining? Everybody's got problems". He went on to suggest keeping it sprayed down with Round-Up. I try really hard not to use toxic chemicals and actually hoped adding more hardscape to my yard would help keep things under control and make weed management easier. This really didn't pan out as well as I had hoped. read more

I cannot Thank Cesar and Regina enough and the team at C&R Pavers for their work ,follow-through and commitment to excellence. We had a little over 2000 sq ft of driveway and walkway completed as well as a small wall on 1 side of our property. The crew headed by Pedro (Cesar's brother )was on site and ready to go each day at 7:30 am and worked to 4pm + each and every day including Saturdays. They completed the project in 11 days and all my neighbors were astonished and the speed ,coordination and skill they displayed. It looked like a Symphony as they move from process to process wasting no time but never cutting a corner. I received 9 bids before starting the process with Cesar's company.. A neighbor highly recommended C&R to me. They were not the least expensive but they did offer the most value including drainage ,electrical, fencing . They checked in with me constantly during the process to explain what they we doing as well as the next step in the process. They will keep you informed as little or as much as you would to know . On a scale of 1-10 I would rate C&R pavers a 12!!! read more

C&R Pavers did our front walkway and large backyard patio. I called them many times about uneven pavers that did not drain and gapped pavers. They never responded to my calls. They also cheaped out by not laying the required depth of base layer sand (so the pavers were uneven). They also did property damage to existing masonry and plants by dumping caustic chemicals on them. I cannot recommend them. Once you pay them, they are unresponsive. read more

Great work by the crew of C&R Pavers! They built a beautiful front yard block stucco wall and installed pavers in the patio. Cesar had some great ideas and was always available to answer my questions. They were very efficient in getting the job done and I would certainly use them again! read more

We looked at 5 paving contractors and selected C&R after comparing quotes and after going to look at the references of completed jobs they had done. After meeting Cesar and discussing our plans we negotiated a price. Cesar was very professional in the negotiation process. We liked his personality and friendly style. We had to choose a start date 3 weeks ahead as we needed to get HOA approval. C&R is run by the owners, Cesar and Regina. Both very pleasant. We never met Regina, she is C&R's point of contact person, but was always pleasant and returned my calls relatively quickly. Once approved, the product was ordered and they came on the date they promised. Our project was 700 sf walkway/patio job. Not too complicated, but did require some detailed cutting of the pavers. We had old footings for our pergola that required some finessing of paver cutting and they did a great job working around the posts. Before they started work on the demolition of the old walkway and patio, they covered all our artificial turf in the backyard with plastic, covered all the windows and sliding glass doors with plastic to prevent damage. The job was expected to take 5 days. It took 5 days. The three workers who were on site were friendly. Julio, who was the in-charge person on site could not have been nicer and answered all my questions as they came up. Pedro and Daniel were also there but I did not communicate with them. Any water pipes from our irrigation that were broken because they were under the patio were replaced with new piping at no cost. They came every day at 7:30 am and worked till 3:00 or so. They cleaned up the job site everyday before they left. I would highly recommend C&R for paving work. Ps I had Cesar give me a quote for turf replacement also. read more

We chose C&R Pavers to do our backyard remodel. We are so very pleased with the work they completed. David met with us and walked us through the construction plan. He was extremely helpful, personable, and friendly. We were impressed with the hard-working, punctual, and courteous work that was performed. From demo-day, to finished product, the work was done on-time! No excuses! Communication was clear and the workmanship was perfect! Each paver that was laid-down was done with careful precision and the results were beautiful. The price was just right for our budget and came lower than a few other quotes. We highly recommend C&R Pavers for your next project. Our backyard photos are on this site. Please contact me if you need more detail. We love our backyard pavers, fire pit, and patio cover. Top-notch work! read more

On budget and on schedule! C&R demoed our old cracked concrete driveway and replaced it with quality Belgard Dublin Cobble pavers--all in just three days!

Okay... they are amazing!!!! Regina is very pleasant and coordinated everything very promptly. And, Cesar was a boss!!! He was very punctual and oversaw the entire project that his team did.

His workers are phenomenal! Very thankful we got the best as home projects can be very overwhelming. read more

C&R installed a concrete driveway and pavers in our front yard. Cesar visited the job every day. His guys were great and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy.

We've moved recently, and the backyard of this property was not taken care of for many years and had major problems. Several different companies inspected our backyard, but Cesar was the only one who pointed out to the multiple leaks of the existing irrigation system. His quote and his terms were very competitive, so we have chosen C&R Pavers for the backyard overhaul. Our experience with the company is very positive. They became available a day earlier than expected. The crew always came in on time, worked hard the entire time, cleaned after themselves every day, were very professional, polite, accommodating. David, Pedro, Peter and the entire crew were awesome. We have a new, functioning drain, and a new drip irrigation system. The pavers look very good, the color that Cesar recommended matches the house and the retaining wall very good. The whole experience was very smooth. They finished the whole project very quickly. The quality of their work is excellent. The backyard looks very nice now! I highly recommend C&R pavers! read more

Cesar and his team did the most amazing job. They worked with care, precision and great detail to produce a 2,800 square foot patio around our pool.I could find nothing to complain about and I would recommend C and R Pavers to everyone. You cannot go wrong with these guys. read more

From the start, Steve at C&R was very easy to work with. He offered design assistance (which others would charge for), and worked with us to get the most for our budget. In addition to the pavers, they were able to include lighting and turf for a complete package. Once the work started, Caesar and his employees were extremely clean and professional, and VERY fast. Our project was done in just about 4-5 days. They were very accommodating to tweaks/changes in the design, and even helped connect our irrigation system. Steve stayed involved during the whole process to make sure everything was done as promised. My wife and I are very happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend C&R! read more

C AND R completed my yard last week. They removed all my old railroad tie retaining walls and replaced them with wall material. they also replaced my pool deck,put in pathways,a sitting area with fire pit,helped create a garden area. The workers were all professional and polite. The work was all professionally done. It was a very large job and we are very pleased. I also highly recommend them.They saved us quite a bit of money over the big box paver companies! read more

I can't say enough good things about C and R pavers! They installed a new patio in my backyard and even though it was a smaller job, they treated it with as much attention as all of their others, they were very fast, and did it at a very good price. Their quality is top-notch, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are a relatively new company but Cesar and his crew have over 15 years of experience. They were making other contractors rich in those 15 years and recently decided to go into business for themselves. If you need paver/landscaping work you should definitely give them a call. read more

THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!!! They have just finished my driveway backyard pool deck fire pit and retaining wall. The guys show up everyday on time and it is amazing how fast and how much they get done in a day this is my second large paver job here in san diego and the first one was a mess and nothing but trouble so I went into this job interviewing as many pavers as I could and C&R surly delivered I could not be happier I wish all contractors could be on the same level as these guys So please take my word I have shopped around you can't go wrong with C&R Thanks read more

Caesar and Regina are amazing! They are the most honest and professional contractors I have ever worked with. They replaced the stamped concrete patio, walkways, stairs and supporting walls around my house. They were so fast, every day I came home from work shocked to see the progress. The workers were all excellent and Caesar always made sure to to be in constant contact with them to make sure everything was going according to plan. When I made changes to our plans, they never nickle-and-dimed me on anything. Caesar was extremely flexible and helpful and ask for the final payment until everything was done to my satisfaction. I would recommend them highly! read more

We just had a new patio installed by C&R Pavers and we couldn't be happier with the results! We received a few quotes from different companies before choosing our contractor. C&R Pavers was referred to us by a friend's contactor that wouldn't travel "so far south." We were impressed with C&R Pavers from the get-go. They are a "full service" company that came in far under what others were charging just for the pavers. Not only did C&R do a beautiful job with the pavers, but they also re-worked our irrigation system, built a retaining wall, and repaired the flaking stucco on our house that was hidden by the old wooden deck. They were very responsive to our needs/requests, were creative in problem-solving those inevitable "hiccups" that come with home renovation projects, and they didn't stop working until we were completely happy with every detail of the project. Cesar and his crew are top notch and we would highly recommend them to anybody looking to have pavers installed. read more
