The price was fair and he could start the following day. I had six sprinklers replaced for my lawn and then extended the PVC piping to my new section of lawy and added three more sprinklers. Mr. Tran removed the old thin wall PVC which was about 22 years old and installed new thick walled schedule 40. I also had a water valve replaced which was controlled by a timer. The dug up sod was put back in place and the lawn was looking great in a few days. No problems with any leaks, the direction of the sprinkler spray is all correct, and after several months, everything still works perfectly.

I essentially had to prepare each time.

I try to be a reasonable person and I, in my opinion gave BAYSL more than enough 2nd, 3rd and even…read more4th chances. Despite their claim of being the "#1 concrete driveway contractor in the SF Bay Area," and assurances of quality and timeliness, my experience with BAYSL was overwhelmingly negative. If you value a correctly done or on-time project, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. Communication has been a HUGE issue. Repeated calls, texts, emails, and follow-up attempts were consistently ignored. Furthermore, BAYSL failed to honor their written "1-year workmanship warranty" when problems arose, choosing instead to abandon the project and cease contact. The project involved a steep driveway requiring traction lines, which BAYSL assured me they could handle. Despite extensive discussions and detailed visual aids provided to ensure alignment, the execution was deeply flawed from the beginning. The initial wooden form was uneven and wavy, requiring my intervention to correct. The first concrete pour was equally problematic. On a day exceeding 90 degrees, the team appeared unprepared and struggled to implement the agreed-upon traction lines, resulting in a visibly messy driveway. Ultimately, they agreed to cut out and redo the entire driveway. Trusting their expertise, I allowed them a second attempt in October 2023. I was assured they had prepared and tested the necessary tools for the traction lines. However, on the day of the replacement pour, their new tool appeared unused, and my concerns were dismissed. Predictably, the second attempt to create traction lines also failed, resulting in a rough finish. While a discount was provided to placate me on now owning an ugly driveway, the issues did not end there. Within 6-8 months, cracks appeared in the concrete, and the overlays used for curb cleanup began to break. I reported these issues in June 2024. After a week's delay, they promised to follow up, but it took another two weeks and a follow-up email to receive a response. Eventually, AJ and Danny inspected the damage and agreed to address it. However, this was followed by another period of silence. After multiple follow-up emails in July and August, AJ finally outlined a plan of action in mid-August and promised a date for repairs. Despite my prompt response, there was no further communication. Subsequent follow-up emails in September and October were largely ignored, with a brief reply in late September stating repairs would occur "in the coming month." A request for a phone call was also ignored. By late 2024 and early 2025, their Yelp and Google listings indicated temporary closure, and their company email address bounced. I assumed the situation was a lost cause. However, noticing their Yelp page reactivated recently, I decided to try again. Unsurprisingly, there was no response to my outreach. As a last resort, a friend contacted them for a landscaping inquiry, and Dennis responded, expressing interest in new work. This provided me with a working alternative email address, which I used to contact Dennis and AJ again about the outstanding repairs. Dennis responded that they "never got any of the emails" and were "waiting for better weather conditions" - despite months of inaction across various weather conditions. He also stated he was no longer involved in day-to-day operations and directed me to Danny. I texted Danny, who said AJ would contact me. I have yet to hear from AJ, and Danny no longer responds to my texts. In summary, BAYSL demonstrated a pattern of poor communication, unprofessional execution, failure to honor their warranty, and ultimately, abandonment of the project. Their initial claims of being a top contractor in the Bay Area are in stark contrast to the reality of my experience.

He communicated well and explained the process and what my option's were and did everything he said he was going to do with precision and care. The amount of detail and consistency through out the project even though done at two separate times really speaks highly of his work. He was referred to me from a contractor that has been using him for years and I'm so happy with everything from start to finish. I think as a home owner we all need to understand that this is quickly becoming a lost trade on the residential side where quality and details matter and there are few out there that truly understand the old ways of laying concrete and that the people like Pedro who are still in this trade need to consider more than just a deadline of completion which seems to be the biggest concern I see on his other reviews. This is a forever upgrade to your home and weather, supplies, and labor all play a key part so give yourself and the contractor some time and leniency to work it out and give you the best product possible. Just my two cents from going through it myself.

I am so glad we took a chance and chose this relatively new landscape company! After looking at 4-5…read morevendors, we were impressed with Daniel's communication, personality, and his willingness to help turn our dream backyard into a reality (cliche but true)! Daniel grew up in the bay and worked with his dad in landscaping since he was young. We admire his passion and his dream to open up his own landscape company to continue that legacy and dismantle the bad rep that contractors/landscapers have. Trust me, we've been burned by previous contractors who left the job unfinished with poor craftmanship. We expressed our concerns to Daniel and he assured us that his team of 4 will be with us from beginning to end. Also, Daniel ensured that we can reach out to him anytime and he'll get back to us. He kept his promise and delivered on that! He responds to all our texts and his crew showed up to our home early EVERYDAY for a week. Our backyard project took no more than 7 days to complete - just as promised! During the design phase, Daniel and his designer Carlos would meet with us in the evenings to go over our design requirements and wants. Along the way Daniel gave ideas/recommendations, which worked out for us. Daniel even went with us to the nursery to pick out the plants. Dream Reality pricing is well aligned with what other vendors were charging, but I think their pricing is more reasonable. Daniel even offered to install lights and other stuff for us free of charge. I saw his ambition to grow his business and build good rapport with his clients. That means a lot to us! Overall our pavers, retaining wall, lawn, rocks, and more turned out amazing. We were able to achieve a modern yet simple backyard - it looked pretty close to the inspo pics I sent to them! I highly recommend Dream Reality Landscape for all your landscaping needs!

Don't waste your time elsewhere (or reading this long review) -- just go with Luiz and Neto (Golden…read moreSpace). Linking Neto's review here, as he worked with Luiz for this project as well: https://www.yelp.com/biz/golden-space-hardscape-construction-el-sobrante-2?hrid=hLHRvEqNuMiLRxe7IPPS7A&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) We wanted to renovate half of our yard, turning it from an unusable afterthought to a flexible and usable patio. All told, it's probably 1100sqft of new pavers installed. Luiz was the only one to mention drainage issues from the start -- +1 for his knowledge and eye towards the bigger picture of homeownership (water problems amirite?). They dug up almost a foot of soil all around the home, removed some stubborn stumps that looked like they extended down into the cavities of hell, leveled it out, installed drainage, compacted, and dropped in the pavers. This was a pretty big project that involved some project management from our side to coordinate hardscape, softscape, fence, and shed installations over several months. Luiz and Neto handled all of this nimbly and worked with the other contractors we engaged with, making sure all of the pieces of the project fit in harmony. They gave several key pieces of advice to us new homeowners, as we planned and executed over the months -- things that we wouldn't have even thought of. From usability and function, to maintenance and durability, they guided us through all aspects of the renovation, not just the hardscaping. They even connected us with the softscapers, when our original contacts fell through and things looked bleak. My partner calls them our spirit animals. I could say more and go on and on, but the other reviews cover this all pretty well. I'm here to reinforce what you've read and what you're already thinking -- these are the guys to call. We'll surely be calling them again for the other half of the yard.

I…read moreinitially thought this project would be easy but from the initial contractor calls that I had, contractors either made the project way more complicated or gave me a completely unreasonable quote in general. It was a breath of fresh air when Mike came to check out the scope of the project. Not only did he reassure me that it could be done within our budget but also within a timeline that made sense to us because we needed to complete the project in time for the birth of our baby in a few months. Mike was able to get his team organized and outside of the wait to get the permit for the project, once construction started, it happened super quickly and in a very efficient way. Mike's general team is a treat to work with and have been very communicative with me throughout the project. We finished our final inspection today and I couldn't be happier with the product overall. We have an office space that is wonderfully usable and really fits the bill for what I was expecting from this project to begin with. Mike and the rest of the Ocean Remodel team have been a pleasure to work with and have completely swayed my mentality on working with contractors. I think there's a lot of stereotypes around being nervous to work with contractors and seeing projects balloon into things that become not only more of a financial sink but also a time sink as well. This was such a wonderful experience throughout and I highly recommend Ocean Remodel for anyone that's considering renovation projects in their house.
