Being a first time homeowner is not easy. From landing the house and finding things to improve over…read moretime, my wife and I knew the backyard would be a very important space for our family, especially our younger kids. When we first moved in, the backyard was all cement, the grass was dead, it had mulch/tanbark everywhere, and the pavers were mismatched. While we had a temporary "fix" by removing the grass and installing turf, we knew we needed to go big. I went through countless hours of research, hesitation, and uncertainty for whatever reason, but I finally settled on a name that, after extensive research, felt like they would be the right fit for us. Enter Black Diamond! Stephanie Driscoll was our project manager and designer and Raul was the head of the crew that took on the job of totally revamping the entire backyard and the side yards. Stephanie was very easy to work with and loved the design that was initially proposed. Instead of trying to essentially price the job with higher quality materials or trying to add more where it wasn't needed, we were able to balance paver amount/variation for the pathways and borders so that it made sense both in design and budget. Needless to say, 4 months on, we are still very happy with how it turned out and how everything was done. We started the consultation/design process and contracting in December 2025 and broke ground in March 2026. Stephanie was patient in waiting for other projects to be completed since I also had to replace a roof, install new gutters, and repaint the whole house. By April 2026, the entire backyard looked as designed and blew my family away! Our friend and family complimented on how well everything was done and what a transformation it was. We actually enjoy the backyard a lot more now and so do our children. The pavers have held up very well thus far and most of all, it's safe for anyone to walk on. No sharp edges on the step-down that was installed, no tripping hazards, and no danger of water sitting and pooling in any one area. The rocks along the pathways complement the pavers and do well to keep costs low in the side yard as no one really hangs out on the sides anyway. Extremely happy with Black Diamond, Stephanie, and Raul! Thank you so much; looking forward to getting the front yard and driveway tackled soon!

Five stars for Black Diamond. We were looking for a special design to transform our sand dune…read morebackyard into our dream backyard. Of three designs we received, Frances Krebs was the most professional, creative and detail oriented. Her design fulfilled our vision and the execution by her crew led by Ismael and Raul, made our dream come true. Frances (Black Diamond) was the only one of the three companies from which we received designs who was able to build 25 paver stairs and a walkway up the sand dune and create a platform for our view of the golf course and Monterey Bay. Frances and her crew were always punctual, responsible, skillful, considerate and professional. They were able to accomplish all we asked for. Black Diamond, with Frances as the designer and project manager, was definitely the right choice.

Cantera was the most down-to-earth and realistic in terms of discussing what the job would entail AND the most reasonably priced. Others were mostly slick sales people who were big on presentation but light on actual knowledge. And they came with huge price tags. We chose to work with Isac from Cantera and are so happy we did. He was honest, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the end result was what we expected. He didn't cut corners, and his entire crew was competent, hard-working and friendly. Isac was very responsive, always showed up as promised, and completed the job in a timely manner. Also a good problem solver! Couldn't be more satisfied!! Would recommend Cantera Masonry without reservation!

We were in need of a mason to get a cement roofed carport repaired. The ceiling was spalling and…read morepieces had fallen on the car. Rusted re-bar was exposed. We needed it repaired quickly. This was on behalf of our son's home in Hawaii. Mike responded to our inquiry with a return phone call within the hour. He came the next day to assess what we needed and explained a few options. We opted for the quickest fix that would enable us to safely use the carport right away for another 7 to 10 years before the day comes when a new one needs to be built. The house was built in 1945, and the carport may be that old. His bid was a very fair price. He was available to come the very next day and finished the project in one day. He repaired the ceiling and repaired the top of the roof/patio area with a new sealed top coat so it wouldn't leak through the cement any longer. Mike is a consummate professional. He telephoned us when he was on his way. He listened to our needs and advised accordingly with his expertise of the different options. He is personable, kind, and wow, what a hard worker! It was a long day in the heat. He worked in over 90 degree weather and never complained once, he was actually joyful doing the work he does. He is an expert mason and it shows. He knew exactly the materials needed and the best way to do the job. The job turned out great, it looks great on the patio and the patches on the underside of the ceiling are now safe and stronger than before. No more water slowly leaking through the old cement roof. Mike has great integrity, very professional and super nice, too! Don't hesitate to give him a call.
