    Eric and his team are awesome to work with! On time, on budget and responds to any questions promptly. Excel has done a few jobs at my house, including interlocking pavers, concrete, and pet friendly artificial turf. I highly recommend their services!!

    All done!

    Excel gave us a quote after the first visit to build out our new driveway. Eric and his team are very professional and accommodating. Great services and very responsible with their work. Highly recommended. I will call them again for another project when we are ready!

    My wife and I were initially hesitant from working with System Pavers solely based on the high…read moreinitial quote as compared to some other competitors for our landscaping which included primarily pavers, and SP turf along with some perimeter landscaping (decorative rock or plants). This is our first major contracted work on our new home, and we wanted everything to be as perfect and smooth as possible. We know a few neighbors that went though horror story level issues with their landscaping contractors, and we wanted zero drama. The ratio of pavers and turf highly affects the cost but what hooked us to System Pavers was the complete transparency of the work required for the job, the quality of their sourced materials, and the professionalism of their contracted project manager and construction team! The entire process that System Pavers follows from the in-home visits from the sales team (Christopher Lawson in our case), the online portal that tracks all of the progress and costing, as well as the final work with the management and installation teams (Jose Gonzalez and Juan Carlos) were pretty much flawless in our experience. I don't usually spend time giving positive feedback to companies that only perform the minimum requirement. System Pavers needed to earn our business, and they won us over primarily from the pure professionalism they showed throughout this process.

    We've owned several homes over the years and having a backyard that allows us to relax and…read moreentertain easily is very important to us. Quality materials and craftsmanship come at a price but they also add long-term value, so this is the third time we've turned to System Pavers to make a backyard into a space we love. Every single person who touched this project was top-notch. Kudos to Jorge who helped us refine our vision, to Cesar who managed the project and kept us informed, to Joe who managed the work crew, and to each of the crew members who worked so hard to make our yard beautiful. Extra kudos to Joe and Paulino (?) for the little finishing touches like carving the step around the corner of the raised planter so the pavers look like they've always been there, and the perfect cutouts around the patio cover posts, just to name a few. Thank you for making the process so easy and stress-free.

    My recommendation is to avoid any work done by California Rocks using Joaquin Lopez as the Sub…read moreContractor I started a concrete project with California Rocks 18 months ago, Demo my old concrete and replace and redesign with new concrete around my pool and in the front yard, Marshall provided a competitive Quote and we started. Marshall was good to deal with , but his subcontractor "Joaquin Lopez" was impossible Poor Quality 1.The dyed concrete came out is various colors and was very apparent it was not mixed well 2. The stamping was not done correctly and in places we had tool , brush and footprints in the concrete, sections that were not stamped, steps that never got finished 3. During demolition there was damage to the plaster in my pool that was never repaired 4. During the pouring of the concrete there was splash onto my stucco that has never been removed. 5. The reinforcement wire was not supported and sunk to the dirt. This caused major cracks in the concrete Communication 1. Marshall did what he could to communicate but was not getting response from Lopez 2. Lopez would make promises and then not deliver most of the time 3. Money was requested and paid each time but I never held back enough to have any leverage. This was my mistake. To California Rocks Credit, they did come out and cut out some of the worst areas and poured new concrete. They offered to apply a coating to make all the concrete match. This made the situation better. The pattern they sprayed is not what I wanted, but to make this whole situation go away I agreed with it and it is done, Nothing I can do now except hate it. To this day there are areas in my front walk and driveway that have a white residue on them that I have asked several times to have fixed and I am now getting no response from Marshall or Joaquin Lopez.

    Well my husband and I purchased a home the back yard had gravel rocks and weeds were everywhere…read more Saw California Rocks advertisement in our local IE community newsletter going forward called the number and lifted an message on what we wanted done Mr. Marshall called me back immediately we spoke he came to our home gave us an estimate we shock hands and it was history afterwards. Mr. Lopez came out looked and he said he will make our yard look beautiful and he snd his crew did for thumbs up great work clean and respectful of ones Property so pleased I could cry tears of JOY Our yard looks amazing California Rocks!!!! Going to post pics before and after.

    Long overdue for my review, finally got around to it! I recently had the absolute pleasure of…read moreworking with Rudy and his incredible landscaping and design team to completely overhaul our backyard, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, every step was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. If you're on the fence about hiring a landscaper, stop scrolling--this is the team you want. It all started when we decided it was time to turn our new build dirt lot backyard into a functional space for our family. We'd had a few consultations with other companies, but nothing clicked until we met Rudy. I've actually been following their work for a while and finally had the finances to make a call. Right away, his passion for creating personalized outdoor spaces shone through. He took the time to understand our vision--a mix of low-maintenance greenery and an illuminated elevated deck to tie it all together. What impressed me most during the planning phase was how responsive and attentive he was. I must have bombarded him with at least 20 questions about everything from lighting to drainage solutions, and he answered every single one promptly, often with photos or sketches to illustrate his ideas. He truly listened to our concerns, like our worries about watering needs and drainage, and adjusted the design on the fly without any pushback. It felt like a true partnership, not just a transaction. Once we greenlit the project, the execution was nothing short of masterful. Rudy's crew arrived on time every day, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the workers--they were the friendliest, most hospitable group I've ever had on my property. Smiling faces, polite chit-chat, and zero mess left behind. You could tell from the get-go that quality was their top priority. Whether it was precisely leveling the ground for the turf, installing the irrigation system with flawless precision, or installing electrical, everything was done correctly and to an impeccable standard. No shortcuts, no surprises--just solid, durable work that looks like it could withstand a decade of family barbecues and kids' playtime. It's not just a backyard anymore; it's our go-to spot for relaxation and entertaining. Throughout the entire process, Rudy made it a point to check in regularly, ensuring we were happy at every milestone. I can't recommend Rudy and his team enough--they're the real deal for anyone dreaming of a backyard upgrade. We're already planning about tackling the front yard. If you want pros who treat your space like their own, deliver top-tier results, and make the whole journey enjoyable, look no further. Thank you, Rudy, for turning our yard into a proper space!

    We had a few issues with our yard where some of the grass started dying, and LTS came out literally…read morethe next day to take care of it. They made everything right without charging us anything and even replaced the sections of grass that had died. It could have been from the weather since that spot gets more sunlight, but they still went above and beyond by adding extra sprinklers to make sure everything had full coverage. They finished the work within two days and left the area clean. Their team was super professional, efficient, and clearly cared about their work. The quality is great and our yard still looks amazing almost a year later. None of the concrete has cracked, the retaining wall is solid, and the small wall by the house that protects it from the sprinklers is holding up perfectly. Our patio cover has made it through the rainy season with no issues at all, and the drainage works exactly how it should. Overall, LTS did a beautiful job, paid attention to every detail, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!
