We went with a stunning blue and gray combination, and the final outcome is absolutely beautiful.

We enjoy our tropical-themed backyard so much now :). Thanks to G (the owner, the foreman, and the hard worker) and his crew. We moved to Brentwood 18months ago. We needed a makeover of our backyard which was flooded during rainy season and poor arrangement of plantation, as well as front yard upgrade. I RFQ'd 5 contractors, and got 4 back ontime. The owner of Pacific Landscape Services (= PLS) is Gatzemani (shortname G). His quote was right in line with another 2, but we were attracted by his overall solution of our troubled yards, and he seemed to be a smart guy. So we did our leap of faith by hiring him to finish in 8wks. Based on our past experience of contracting, ontime seems to be a dream.... but G and his crew made it. 1. Quote is reasonable, G doesn't nickel/dime with small adjustments. I do suggest to communicate clearly upfront to avoid adjustment/rework. 2. G is the worker bee himself and the most skillful one. 3. G always said "have to do it right" vs shortcutting/ easy work, and he did. 4. G is easy to work with, and manages his crew effectively 5. We were impressed by the clean-up on daily base and final closure which really stands out his services. We no longer needed to hire trash dumping guys like our prev projects. 6. If you are uncertain about something, you can ask G who gives his honest opinion but respects the owner's final decision and executes it. 7. G has a broad knowledge of sub-supplier bases+ plantation. We took his recommendation for pavers, pebbles.. 8. They specialize in hardscape/ pavers/ drainage/ irrigation. We have a sloped driveway and connection to backyard through sideyard. The leveling/grading was a big challenge for everyone, but G did it. 9. Restored our deserted pond in the back and transformed it into a beautiful creekbed with moss rocks. The sound of creek river is so soothing and enjoyable (see pictures) 10. The only thing is the SOD which is not doing well. [6wks later after completion] The lawn is 95% good, there are still 2 brown spots at front lawn Few recommendations: a). Any material on color/texture, it's better go to stores (if avail), and/or check samples vs online/brochure. It is very different, esp with big areas and how they age overtime. b). Consult G and make your own final call. The creekbed was a recommendaiton from G, a master piece vs a pond with mosquitoes. We went with our desire of light pebbles vs dark lava stones (an idea from G), and we love our decision. c). Get involved and check the job periodically. We did/do find small flaws (not major) due to inconsistent labor quality during the job, eg. trash was not removed before installing gopher wire, irrigation lines popped after 4wks... G re-did the gopher wire the next day after being made aware, and we fixed the dripper line ourselves. Overall, a very postitive experience!! I highly recommend Pacific Landscape Services.

One star is too much for this Mickey Mouse outfit ! Please contact me RE: how Donaldson concrete took me for 30,000.00 ,shoddy work ,they did everything 2 ,3, and 4 times and still did not do it right ,blueprints were not even looked at apparently as base rock was too thick , forms were in the wrong place ,footings were too ,hold downs were put in wrong locations or not at all . some days only one guy was there and then from noon til one or so. Steve Donaldson lied to me about what he would do and even assaulted me,on my own property which was witnessed by several people and a neighbor walking her dog. Everything they did had to be taken apart and redone , I will be suing him for the money he stole from me. They built forms and then dumped tons of dirt against them bending them for 3 weeks , they took my topsoil away without my permission . they broke property. They did not call 811 ,the city inspector failed their work and exasperated , wrote " too much to list " in failing their work . do not do business with these crooks , the laborers told me they hadn't been paid in 3 weeks . The blueprints called for the steel to be 18" on center and they put it down 12" on center and then let it touch the ground because they did not dig the 18" deep perimeter footing , they left garbage laying around ,let my blueprints get blown around by the wind and lay on the ground over night several times Go look at the Ca state license site ,he claims no employees and no workers comp insurance yet he told me he had workers comp , another lie Steve, one guy just stood around for the first few days doing absolutey nothing , when I asked what that's all about Steve said ,oh that's my brother . They stole my bag of crushed aluminum cans and when I asked for them back I was told they are gone , they broke art work my daughter made for us. They broke my flagpole mount and refused to fix it. They refused to remove tree stumps that were removed for the project telling me , it's my problem. He wanted payments to be made in increments less than 10,000.00 to avoid the IRS from being notified. They put too much base rock down compacted it and were so dumb they didn't even check it so they laid the steel down ,days later their foreman noticed It and they had to use pic axes to dig it down between the grids of steel and wheel barrow it out, several of his laborers told me they hate him . Piers or foundations were as much as 5 feet from their locations indicated on the blueprints and not dug correctly in depth and shape .The main one was to be 24" deep, they went 36" he spilled gallons of diesel in the street in front of my house staining the street and did not even try to absorb it ,telling me accidents happen. They did not call 811 and broke the protective PVC on a Comcast cable. the city came out and said they are going to persue this against him as it is the law. He told me he would be done by September 7th after a starting date of August 4th ,that never happened ,they were there until last week , another lie Steve. Nothing they did was square or to the distances on the prints and had to be torn out , as they did not dig the18" deep perimeter foundation ( which totals 400 feet ! ) Steel had to be cut back several feet so a small backhoe could be brought in to dig It, imagine that on a 6,000 sq foot slab they did not dig the perimeter footing first, instead they put down base rock, built forms ( then ruined them by dumping tons of excavated dirt against them with a rented bobcat ) laid steel down ( again 12" on center rather than what the blueprints dictated at 18" on center ) he refused to put in the drainage pipes he promised and just went ahead and put rock down ,steel down , and made the work of putting a drain line in ridiculously hard. The city inspector shook his head and said he'd never seem anything like it .Check the Ca state web site , you'll see he has stated no employees , no workers comp. contact me if you like I can show you pictures , his guys pissed all over my property because he did not bring the outhouse he is required to. The monetary damage Donaldson concrete caused is in the tens of thousands of dollars. When we get to court he will lose immediately as the pictures show the incompetence ,the substandard work ,the blueprints show what was supposed to be built ,oh he decided to redesign the driveway and spent a day forming it with bender board in a way that no way resembled what was shown so he had to spend many hours changing it to what is shown on the prints. and there is more I will keep to myself as I'll need it in court , but here is the kicker , I offered to settle it with him , call it even , walk away for 15,000.00 and he refused , well Steve Donaldson you will spend a lot more than that on a lawyer and then what THE COURT will,order you to pay once they see the evidence and read staememts from City inspectors and the new contractor that had to tear all your work out and start over , You have been warned . read more

Brought Steve and his crew back for a second time to demo a wood overhang that had to go as well as some lawn and pavers. Gave me a nice addition to my original patio and recommended a raised step for table and chairs with a broom finished banding, really nice touch! Like the first time, excellent service.... Getting to know him and the crew I brought up a negative review to him just out of curiosity and hearing Steve's side made me laugh. Owned up to breaking a couple things, as expected in construction but filled with many lies.

Donaldson's concrete did a phenomenal job with my stamped color concrete and extending my driveway. The quality of work was excellent as they were very detailed with the industry standards. Further, the 20 + years of experience really showed making the process of completing everything done exactly as we wanted. There are few companies that actually do an awesome job without cutting corners these days from my experience and having a trustworthy person completing your job is important. The attention to detail really impressed me. These traits that the company possesses allowed me to use them twice one for backyard and once for driveway. I will use them again for any future projects. read more

If we needed any changes, Gerardo and his team would show up next morning to get things done. I highly recommend this company!

Carrillo's Concrete was the first Yelp-guaranteed contractor who responded to my request, and quoted a flat price which was under what other non-guaranteed contractors quoted. They maintained communication with me throughout the process, even when we had a rain delay, and came out to do the work on the next clear day. Four and a half hours later, we had a nicely repaired walkway with aggregate that was almost a perfect match for our existing walkway. We'll always be able to tell that there's been a repair, but people who hadn't seen it before probably won't notice that it's been repaired. Carrillo's Concrete did a great job with this repair. We cannot recommend them more highly.
