I'm the Managing Director of Stonepine Estate -- a 100-year-old private estate and event venue in…read moreCarmel Valley. We recently engaged PM Landscaping for a significant paver and hardscape project, and I wanted to share our experience. We collected detailed estimates from four companies. Paolo's bid came in on the higher end, but we selected PM Landscaping for reasons that proved exactly right. From the first conversation, Paolo and his team were unusually responsive -- to our questions, our ideas, and the nuances of a historic property like ours. Finding a contractor whose design sensibility actually fits a century-old estate isn't easy. Paolo understood that immediately. We also had a tight window -- work had to be completed between event seasons -- and Paolo gave us the highest degree of confidence he could deliver on time. He also offered the best integrated approach to tying the new hardscape into parallel garden improvements, which mattered a lot to us. The result: on time, on budget, and beautifully executed. The finished work looks like it's been part of the property for decades -- exactly what you want on a historic estate. Every member of his crew -- including Roselyn and Julio -- was professional and considerate throughout. That matters on a property like ours. I would not hesitate to work with Paolo again, and I recommend PM Landscaping without reservation to anyone seeking resort-grade hardscape and landscaping work.

The entire team was extremely professional--polite, friendly, and efficient from start to finish.

I will definitely be reaching out again when I'm ready for Phase 2!

Due to COVID, it did take longer than expected, but fortunately it was able to get done and the outcome is wonderful!

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.

They offered to come by right away to take a look, then scheduled me first thing the next morning. The following morning they showed up on time 5.5 hours later, they let me know the work was finished. When I got back, everything looked exactly the way I hoped it would. The yard was cleaned up, the weeds were handled, and the whole space looked refreshed. Their communication was excellent, the price was competitive, and the crew was friendly and professional. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. They went above and beyond, and I'm already considering having them handle my monthly yard maintenance. Highly recommend.

Ambiguous rates fluctuate but the job never is factually stated & what one gets is less the worth paid out....Times of work seems not to be implemented for actual times worked.

Another way of saying this is their worth is equal to how much they're getting paid & not the pride or heart of this work. Alx Krys

Just moved into the area and wanted to get the side yard developed. It's a small space but we…read morewanted something besides dirt. Went to Yelp and found system pavers. I set up an appointment and our design consultant was Maria Emmet. She provided a ton of information regarding the company, the type of stones she recommended, information on their artificial turf, and advice on the design. Because of the mild slope, she also mentioned I would need a retaining wall. I was hesitant against this since I thought I'd be losing space (on an already small space). Maria said that I would gain so much additional seating since they would make it a sitting retaining wall. She even provided a drawing of the design she had in mind. After that initial meet, we decided to move forward with them. Dan Burnham was our next contact. Dan came out and provided a quick draw up of the yard in person. He spray painted the dirt and let my wife and I see the design. After waking us through the process, his team came out and got to work. It was only a few days of work but the end result is exactly what we were expecting. Now I have a small side yard to let my dog roll on, a bbq area, and a place to just relax. These guys are top notch. I would definitely recommend these guys.

We would like to give our review for the exceptional service we received from Dan Burnham with…read moreSystem Pavers. They installed a fantastic putting green in our yard a few years ago. We noticed a water leak under the green and contacted the company to see if they would honor their work where apparently a sprinkler head was left uncapped. Dan reached out and sent his team to repair and the putting green looks as good as new and the leak is repaired. After the work was completed Dan reached out to make sure we were happy with the work. System Pavers, represented by Dan is a great and reliable company that stands by their work (even a couple years after installation). I would highly recommend Dan Burnham and System Pavers to anyone looking for a beautiful and challenging putting green or landscaping with an excellent experience. This added a lot of fun to have in our yard for friends and family-time fun.
