Avoid Daniel Zamora at all costs (and look at the negative reviews for Tailored Pools to get a true sense of what you are dealing with when you engage with the Zamoras' businesses). The nightmare that is our experience with Daniel began over a year ago. Not only does our pool remain unfinished, our entire yard is completely unusable and in a state of disrepair. Necessary permits were not secured and requests for inspection reports ignored. We are now trying to undo the problems he created in this build. Despite collecting over 95% of the contract price, he abandoned the job leaving a significant amount of work undone. Specifically, they did not finish plastering, backfilling, electrical, plumbing, coping, decking, inspection, lighting, fencing or clean up. Here are just a few of the issues we experienced: (1) dishonesty; (2) no project management - random workers would come and go without any oversight and frequently without notice leaving us to try to muddle through instructions without plans or direction; (3) lack of responsiveness - as soon as the contract was signed and the first check in hand Daniel was difficult to get in touch with frequently leaving messages unanswered for days/weeks; (4) scheduling issues -- despite repeated promises they did not hit deadlines and constantly pushed back work, the excuses for which becoming increasingly far-fetched as time went on (5) deviation from design and missteps; and (6) lack of worker/subcontractor controls.

I must revise my review due to ongoing issues with the work carried out by Bioscapes. I had earlier…read moreindicated that the roots from the shrub removal were still visible and was informed that the root balls had been extracted and that this was sufficient. While I was setting up Christmas decorations, I observed that one of the bushes has begun to regrow, which seems to be regarded as a miracle since the root ball was supposedly removed! Additionally, I noticed that a considerable portion of the newly installed concrete slab is distinctly discolored due to inconsistent or improper mixing. Unfortunately it seems I will have to resolve this through our court system.

I have used Bioscapes on three major projects and have been completely satisfied with the results…read moreof their services that included meeting with me and helping me with the designing and planning of each project. The project included a complicated French drain that started in the far side of my backyard and extended down the fence line of my property and emptied into the front lawn. The second project, which occurred a couple of years later was to install new sod in my front yard. The most recent project was to replace existing grass from one side of my yard and replace with gravel and step stones. None of the projects were simple one day projects. In most cases the jobs were 2-3 days of hard laborious work for the workers. Speaking of the workers. Pete Facundo is the director of the Bioscapes projects. Pete has always been honest, patient and a professional to work with. His employees are well trained and skillful in the performance of their work. They are respectful and courteous to their customers and their neighbors at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Pete and Bioscapes for your landscaping project.

Olson Outdoor did a great job fixing a drainage problem on one side of my house that another…read morecompany had botched, previously. My property is on a slight incline and heavy rains brings a ton of water to one side of the house. A few years back, I had it repaired by a *different* company, which installed a french drain to get rid of the water. After a few heavy rains, it was pretty clear this fix didn't solve the problem. When Michael came by to give a quote, he saw the french drain and said that that's almost never the right solution to these types of drainage problems. He recommended a swale (I think that's the right term), which meant removing a good bit of soil, adding a steel retaining wall, and covering with river rock. Michael and his crew did a great job, and multiple heavy rains since that time have proved that the fix was solid. Him and his crew even patched up height transition with a small, decorative retaining wall, which we hadn't discussed (and wasn't charged extra for). I'd definitely call Olson Outdoor for my next drainage project (and probably other landscaping needs).

I recommend Olson Outdoor 1000% and would definitely use them again in the future. Thanks, Michael!

It turned out so beautiful! The colors of brick I wanted were not available, but Nathan patiently worked with me until we came up with something even better than my original idea. Nathan and his crew are hard working, professional, and very knowledgeable. They used concrete at the edges so the stones would not shift over time. His quote was reasonable, and he helped me find ways to cut the price even more without sacrificing quality. I enjoyed working with him and hope to do so again in the future!

Backstory: After being burned by our previous GC who…read moreabandoned and stole our money on a large Home Expansion and Casita new-build, I assumed the enormous responsibility as a "learn as you go" GC to get the job done for my family and find my own subs. Bid Process: I inquired about five concrete/foundation company bids and while price was important, we also knew we wanted someone that would be: - Extremely reponsive - Help us trouble shoot items we may not be aware of - Take pride in their work and this they serve - Owner inspects the work of his workers (better yet if they are there at each phase) - A small business and not just a large company that may treat the job as just that...a job. Our experience thus far with Max (the owner along with his wife Nicole) has met and exceeded all of the above. While they were not the cheapest bid they were BY FAR the BEST VALUE with all the extra guidance, support, and attention to detail Max has provided. I also love that Max is easy to talk to and has a lot of experience which he love sharing in an educational way. Another huge difference we encountered in the bid process is that Max's bid came with footing recommendation (if you don't have plans) and his bid was way more detailed in the scope of work that would be completed. Way more professional than emails or standard invoice with a price on it...(come on "other guys") We can't wait to post some finished pictures but wanted to share how happy we are with them. We highly recommend ACS Concrete to anyone else who may be wanting a similar experience. Finished work: TBD (will post when done)

My old 25 year old cement driveway was stained, cracked, and puddled like crazy after any rain, and joints were missing mastic and had hollowed out with toads living inside. His team did the demo work and installed the pavers in just a few days for a pretty large driveway. They were good about cleaning up on a daily basis and the pricing was competitive. The result is incredible. RcTex also made sure to slope the driveway as I asked to avoid puddling and also installed a parking pad with retaining wall for my other car that doesn't fit into the garage. Finally they applied a sealer to the pavers for a nice wet look and to avoid stains. Pretty happy with the work! Highly recommend.

Not really sure why every billing cycle for the last 5 months has been incorrect. Have asked for corrected invoices multiple times and they just don't care enough to correct them. Service is meh. Not any worse than any other mowing service, but for the premium price they charge and the billing aggravation, it should be better than average. They have also left my gate wide open after leaving, so my dogs aren't safe. I will probably end up finding another mowing service if I get one more incorrect invoice.

There's also some area that gets too much rain (drainage issue) and the grass is dead because of it and soil got washed away. I reached out to Adrian and before you know it, the crew has transformed my backyard into zero grass space in a matter of days and now I actually like spending time in my backyard. His estimate is reasonable and he is very responsive to questions and changes that I had along the way. His crew always on time each morning and they clean up before they leave each day which is a nice surprise. The project was completed earlier than planned which really made my day! If you plan to do something with your yard this summer, don't think twice. I highly recommend Twins landscaping to do the job, you won't be disappointed. Check out my before and after pictures!
