Repeat Customer, Repeat Rave I originally had Hill Construction out in 2012 and install a long driveway (70-80 feet) that goes from narrow, to a double its width, and a short walkway from the sidewalk to my steps. My home was built in 1894 and this was a serious upgrade from crushed rock. The next year I hired them again to install a lovely path (about 50 feet) on the other side of my house. I let several years go by. About a month ago I realized that all the pavers probably could use a refresh, so I contacted Roger. He remembered my house and the projects. We set up a time for him to come by. It was a pleasure to see Roger again. We walked all areas, he looked at everything and he agreed that my pavers were overdue for a cleaning and refresh. Within a day he provided a very reasonable quote, letting me know he would schedule me once he got the necessary materials from the supplier. He assured me the result would be very pleasing with more depth to the color. Roger and his brother, Steve, arrived the afternoon of March 24th. A full afternoon of thorough cleaning, which left me amazed upon the end of that process. The 25th was a long, full day of very meticulous and detailed work. I swear that every single "grout" line looks like it was addressed. New sand was applied, not missing any joins or spots. Then 2+ coats of sealant. I was truly amazed at the outcome. Some pavers were replaced, everything up to the standards of Hill Construction and exactly what Roger promised. They take pride in their work, and it shows. I will be better on staying up on the routine maintenance, but now everything is set for several years! Happy to share photos and answer any questions. read more

Hill Construction Company - Back part of driveway. I had my house reroofed last year, and you can see I used the pavers for my inspiration. - Landscaping Near Me - San Carlos, California

We had the unfortunate experience of having our previous contractor abandon our substantial backyard project prior to finishing. This project includes several structural retaining walls as well as about 1400 sqft of paver patios. I called several contractors to try to finish the job, but most were hesitant to take on someone else's work. We had Roger over to give a bid, and I could tell he was also hesitant, but he was sympathetic to our situation and offered to quote the completion of the job including adding the capstones on the walls and complete the patios. He then made several recommendations on materials and was very energetic about the project. Timing was right and they were able to start pretty quickly. Roger and his guys were incredible to work with, they were on site every day, worked efficiently, and completed the entire project in just under 5 weeks. The previous contractor did a poor job with pouring the base concrete for the stairs, making them uneven, but this was not a problem for Hill Construction Company, they were able to make the finished project perfect. When it came time for the railing to be installed, Roger even referred me to an incredible railing contractor who was able to make amazing rails to tie the entire project together. After several months, the project still looks perfect, very high quality work with amazing attention to detail. Hill construction turned a nightmare project that we were dealing with for two years into the yard of our dreams. We cannot recommend a better guy and company, thanks Roger!! read more

Roger did our front/backyard paving, seating/retaining wall and gutter/underground drainage in 2013. He oversaw the project on a daily basis and made sure all the details were to our satisfaction upon completion of the project. read more

We had our driveway pavement done by Roger and his crew in 2013. Today, it looks just as beautiful as when we first had it put in. We were having an issue with flooding in our garage floors when the rains came. Roger designed the driveway with drains. Those have pretty much kept our floors dry. We had been kind of gone back and forth with him about extending the work to include the steps and the porch as we saw how beautiful the driveway started to look when put in. Roger was very accommodating and it all worked out so well. Just had a neighbor pass by and admire our driveway. Putting in a good word for Roger for the excellent work and sending a potential customer his way. read more

I did my research. You won't have to. I interviewed the top four rated and "big" local--companies in this industry (System Pavers Diamond Pavers Mr. Pavers --you know who they are). The sales guys typically came out gave a spiel and were friendly enough. Yet-- after comparing bids, I could see Hill Construction offered a very competitive bid and the scope of what was included broken down explained and THOROUGH! Additionally Rogert Hill--who has a great reputation by the way--the company owner came out. He is totally passionate about his work. He has integrity and is very much concerned with the end result--not just securing the sale. His follow-up communication throughout the job was stellar! The actual job (an extensive asphalt driveway tear-out-- Woodside) and paver installation was done efficiently. But best of all the final result of a new paved drive-way exceeded our expectations.These guys ARE ON TIME+ ON BUDGET. You won't get a better value for the this high-quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend this company. read more

Hill Construction just paved the driveway, walkway, and garden areas in front of our house in Belmont and we are THRILLED with the work. The house is down-hill from the street and we were afraid the slope and various level changes would provide a challenge for repaving; not so with Hill Co. We got bids from multiple companies in the area, and Hill's prices were spot on, but beyond that, the service and consideration was outstanding. Before we had agreed to anything, Roger, the owner, personally came out and looked at our house, then drew up a multi-page, extremely detailed proposal that covered every concern we had and many that we didn't even think of. His level of expertise was clear from the moment we saw the plans, which accounted for every visual and practical (drainage, lighting, accessibility) aspect of the job. When we asked about examples of Hill's work, we were given a list of DOZENS of references, all on the peninsula. We visited a number of these to decide on what paving material to use; not only were we happy to be picking from real life rather than a catalog, it was great to see so many examples of Hill Co's excellent work. Roger was readily accessible throughout the whole process, offering his opinion and advice, always with our interests in mind. The construction itself was done in almost no time, and the crew made sure we could access our house at all times. Budget was exactly what was quoted. The finished product has totally transformed the appearance of our house from the street! I'd recommend Hill Construction Company to anyone considering stone or concrete work. read more

Just got a bid from Roger at Hill Designs. I think the price is good, but I liked the way he laid everything out. I have a 15,000 sq foot drive way and the paving stone and the description of how to put it down to last a long time was so clear, it took me by surprize. This guy is just so articulate and explains so well you just have to do business with him. He showed me other work that He has done and He is quite the perfectionist and clear in his design layout. BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHERS I HAVE TALKED WITH! My wife was enthralled and has made the decision, but I still need a few more bids, but Roger is on the short list for the job, I will edit this if and when the job is complete. Just had to write this for him as I think others should get him on the jobs they are doing too. read more

Roger is simply Excellent! We first observed his crew working meticulously on our neighbor's new driveway. Long story short, Roger installed an absolutely beautiful paverstone driveway with nice timed lights and a fine drainage system. He is so knowledgeable, so thorough, so easy to talk with and most importantly so honest. Highly Highly Recommended!!! read more

We have a very long driveway that was originally pebbles/ rocks, so installing pavers was a big job. Roger and his team were professional, reliable and they were done in just about a week! Never thought I would describe pavers as beautiful, but the craftsmanship and precision of the job is just at. We've had neighbors and even our mailman comment on the driveway. Very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend! read more

Roger Hill was awesome at helping to plan our retaining wall and paver project, and his crew were on time and worked super hard. I was very pleased with the work. Highly recommended! I only had 2 issues: 1) I emphasized repeatedly that we were to try as hard as possible to keep the neighbor's bushes alive (they were on a fence that had to be removed), and the bush ended up dying. Neighbor relations are important, and the crew didn't pay enough attention to this area. 2) During the paver installation process, a lot of the gap filler they use between paver stones sprayed onto my front door and hardened into little pebbles that are impossible to get off. Roger evaluated the damage and said that it couldn't have been them, but the door was clean before, and they were literally the only folks who worked on the house during that timeframe. We managed to pry off a few of the little stones, and concluded that it was not pressure-based embedding into the glass; rather, it's likely that the filler becomes epoxy-like when it gets wet and dries. They were supposed to come back with a cleaner to see if it would take it off, but there was no follow up after they left. I think the door will have to be replaced if we decide we want to fix this particular problem. These were relatively minor, though--still highly recommended. The crew takes pride in their work, and it shows. read more

Quality pavers. Roger designed my paver layout and I'm happy with the end result. Hill Construction Company was able to coordinate and schedule with the fence company I hired. Both companies worked well together. Hill construction company pavers are top notch. The project took two weeks to accomplish. It was amazing to see the art of installing pavement. From demolishing to the final look. No cutting corners with this company and the labor is detailed for pavement installation. Crew took their time laying out the pavement. Roger was flexible in updating the design. He's been installing pavement for a very long time. He is patient and sincere about his work and he is an honest professional guy. His company does it the right way. I'm happy with my pavement. I've gotten a lot of positive compliments. Quality pavement company. Recommend to hire. This company will not run and take your money. Hill construction company will finish your project and you will be happy. read more

Roger is amazing to work with. Never thought pavers would be more affordable or as competitive as stamped concrete. So glad i went with them. The end result was an amazing driveway done in less than a week. The guy is honest, does great work, and gets things done when he says he will. It's really cool having people stop by and ask for our contractors information. i guess that says it all. read more

I had Roger Hill install an ~575 sq. ft. stone patio and walkway and an ~180 sq. ft concrete utility area in my side and back yards, back in June of this year (06/10). I interviewed 6 different contractors for the job. Followed up with 4 contractors for bids. Then settled on 2 contractors before I chose Roger Hill Construction Company. I definitely made the right choice. From the very beginning Roger Hill was, without any question, far and above the most knowledgeable, professional, and detailed contractor that I interviewed. His bid, albeit was not the cheapest or most expensive, was right on the average bid. However, I knew I was going to get the most bang for my buck with Roger Hill. I was definitely right. Roger's flexibility, communication, and knowledge was what primarily drove me to choose him from the last 3 contractors. Roger truly does care to do the job correctly. I would highly recommend Roger Hill Construction Company for any landscape/hardscape project you may have. read more

Roger and his crew were excellent. We wanted a retaining wall in our backyard, but were not exactly sure what would look good with the rest of the yard/patio. Roger provided some great design ideas and helped us clearly determine the path we should pursue. He also proposed a color theme for the wall that looks great with our backyard paver stones. He has a depth of knowledge related to landscaping projects, and really knows what he's talking about. His crew was professional, courteous and friendly. They took the time to explain what they were doing, answer my questions and incorporate my suggestions regarding aesthetic choices. They worked tirelessly for 3 days to complete the job and our retaining wall looks great. After they were done, I reached out to Roger regarding some minor fixes/changes, and Roger took care of them himself in a timely manner. Additionally, his quote was reasonable and fair for the high-quality job that his crew did. It was a pleasure working with Roger, and we are already considering another project with him in the near term. read more

Since we were pleased with the job Roger and his team did paving our driveway and front walkways several years ago, we recently had him bid on our backyard path, which had become a safety hazard due to loose and unstable stone slabs. We were happy that his bid was competitive and knew the quality of their work. The job is finished, and we are thrilled. They were a pleasure to work with because they are conscientious, communicate regularly, and clean up nicely when they were finished. We could not be happier. read more

Roger performed excellent maintenance service in 2019 ( paver power wash, sealing ) after his initial installation job in 2013.

Roger is the best! He is professional, on time, and provides excellent service. You can not go wrong with his services. My yard is beautiful. read more

Quick word here, I used Hill construction to design a side/back and driveway with pavers. His (Roger Hill) bid was competitive, and he was super responsive and quick answering any questions. He's clearly got a ton of experience to bring to bear and which is evident when you speak with him. The guy is honest, nice, knowledgeable, responsive - I can't say enough things. He and his crew did an excellent job, and finished about 4 days early on what was supposed to be a two week job. If you are in the area and thinking about pavers (or other stuff) I can honestly say you'd be making a mistake not at least considering him for the work. read more

Roger Hill, with Hill Construction Co, was excellent to work with; I highly recommend them and would use their services again. Hill Construction installed a paver driveway, backyard patio, front yard walkway, and overlaid the front porch with thin pavers. Link to photos of the job: http://picasaweb.google.com/markdej/CedarStPaverStones?authkey=Gv1sRgCL_ymoOwz4XwYQ Roger was very helpful and professional to work with giving ideas, explaining the options, bid presentation, he was present to oversee the job and was great to interact with to ensure an excellent end product completed in a timely manner per schedule. Roger has great enthusiasm for what he does; it was a pleasure to met and work with him and his team. Thank you, Roger Hill, Jon Hill and Hill Construction. read more

We recently moved into a newly constructed home with approx. 450 SQFT. of dirt in our yard. After deciding we wanted pavers and the type/style, we researched a few local paving companies in the Tri-Valley area. We figure the cost would be decent because the company was local and we wanted to support local businesses. We received 3 bids and some of the breakdown/ "to do list" on the quote just did not make sense to us. Example..drain cover will cost $500 per, low quality pavers were being priced the same for Belgard type. We then decided to give Hill Construction a call. After watching his videos and the before and after pictures on his website we were really impressed with the quality of work. After exchanging emails back and forth, we set a time for Roger Hill to stop by to give us a quote. We warned him our patio is small and we thought Roger wouldn't take a small job and being far away. He arrived on time and asked us what we wanted and how we envisioned our patio. After telling him, he also made suggestions on a few things that my wife and I would never thought of. His vision and honesty made us trust his decision. We were excited about the sketch and plans. Although not the lowest bid, we decided to hire Roger. My wife was really impressed with his vision and honesty. From beginning to the end of the project, Roger was there to keep us updated. His foreman Martin and crew did a wonderful job from start to end. They cleaned up after each work day, attention to details, nothing was left out, were very respectful while our young kids were sleeping inside and completed the project on time. I couldn't thank Roger Hill and crew enough. A true professional and wonderful crew. Our family will enjoy the patio with friends and family for many years to come. I been told it made our patio/yard look bigger. Belgard Pavers, sitting wall planters with LED lights and Arbor. read more

We have not yet had Roger and his team work on our driveway yet, but I just wanted to comment on how professional and knowledgeable he is. Despite some unforeseen delays in our project, he has been honest and incredibly helpful. That kind of professionalism and honesty is hard to come by these days, so much appreciated! read more

My first review on yelp and i have to give 5 stars to the Hill co team for doing an excellent job in giving ideas on landscaping and installing the pavers in my backyard. Roger gave a clear idea about what he is going to do and how he is going to lay the pavers to keep them in good shape for years. It has been 5 years since Roger installed the pavers and i have done zero maintenance on the pavers and it still looks good as new. While he was at it, he also noticed how the water from the downspout was going back into the foundation, so he extended it underground to a bubbler away from the foundation. He was also pretty honest about what makes a good landscaping - when i had asked if we can put pavers throughout the backyard, Roger did advice the importance of mixing hardscape and existing "soft"scape to give a nice look. He also noticed that mulch and soil from the planting area was spilling over, so he gave an idea to border the planting area with paver - affordable and yet gave a very clean look to our backyard. While working on the yard, he also put in 4 brackets for future fencing of trash cart area. We did put a small fence few years later, after the pavement work - it looks great now. He also underlaid couple of small pipes across a thin area of paver so we can get some electrical and plumbing/drip system across without having to remove pavers later. Such simple thoughtful ideas make a lot of difference when you design your landscaping rather than adding them later. While working on the paver, he also gave ideas on how to shape the pavement areas to get a nice curved look. I give Roger Hill Constructions 5 stars for 1. completing the work on time 2. being reasonable in price 3. Keeping the place clean throughout the job and 3. most importantly taking genuine interest in our landscaping, by giving ideas on what will make our backyard look better. read more

I have used Roger Hill for driveway pavers and for artificial lawn. I had a bid from another reputable company. I do not know how well the other contractor would have done, but I do not know how he could have done better than Roger Hill. I picked Hill construction not only because he was cheaper, but also because the man knows his job. He loves his works, and it shows. Roger is not a "rough" construction worker, he is an artist how care about the design, the colors, the shapes. He suggests alternatives to your own plans in order to save you money while preserving a good look. You feel like speaking to a friend who is an expert at what you need, not just a sales person. I believe he did for us the same quality job he would have done for himself. While the other bidding contractor (and myself) missed some details, Roger pointed them to us. His crew was punctual, polite, and careful to leave everything clean. Roger inspects after them, and before you even notice, Roger updates you on details he would like fixed. Hill construction has been able to build a team of employees who appear to be proud of their work. I am recommending Hill Construction without hesitation. read more

Roger Hill of Hill Construction is awesome and thoroughly enjoys his work. I called Roger for an estimate and 4 other paving companies to get a bid on my front yard. Roger was the only one that spent time with me to thoroughly explain the process and options that would work within my budget; I told Roger my budget and we worked together on a design that worked with what I wanted and within my budget. His grew work very hard (and so does Roger). My front yard is far beyond what I thought it would be; I absolutely love it. I cannot say enough good things about Roger and his company. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!! You will not be sorry if you use him for your project. I also want to do some work on my backyard and have already told Roger when I'm ready he will the one I call for job. I am also recommending Roger as a preferred contractor on Angie's list. read more

My wife says I am an insane perfectionist, and too demanding when it comes to contractors. She also can't believe how satisfied I am with the paver job Hill Construction did on our driveway and paths. The price was reasonable, the quality of work and their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. You will not go wrong with Roger and his crew! read more

If you're looking for a paving contractor who is honest, responsive, flexible, performs SUPERIOR workmanship, provides design ideas as part of the planning process, and is price competitive look no further than Hill Construction. We had a large paving job (2 driveways and part of the back yard) and the results are spectacular. Due to the size and nature of the job I researched endlessly, interviewed multiple companies, looked at 50+ jobs from various contractors and selected Roger Hill to do the work. Roger and his crew are as good as it gets and we are thrilled with the results. Without exception we are complimented on the amazing job and what a difference it has made. What more can be said than it was a joy working with Roger and his team and the results more than speak for themselves. read more

Roger and his team are amazing! I would not hesitate recommending his service for a minute. He gave a reasonable quote and gauranteed the job would be done in 1 week. He was right on time even with a few hiccups he wasn't accounting for. His work is top notch. I had surveyed other contractors and he's the best one. Nice, considerate, professional and honest. We had him install pavers for a REALLY long driveway. Looks amazing. read more

We told Roger what we wanted for pavers and a wall but Roger had a vision for the job. We're glad he used his vision. Aesthetically, the job better than we thought. A border color and 45 degree paver-setting make a nice effect. The wall was better than expected too with french-drainage, lighting and irrigation tubing ready to go. You can't see it but (2) downspouts from the roof used to run down the driveway. Roger's guys piped all that underneath and you don't see a thing. From a logistical and functional standpoint, I (an engineer) was very happy with the way things are hidden and the flexibility they provide moving forward. All-in-all, we are really happy with our new pavers. The cost was at or below average and the quality was above average. Thanks, Roger! read more

Roger Hill Helped us design the pavers and turf area in our yard and then installed them quickly and professionally. We enjoyed doing business with him every step of the way, and our yard looks great! read more

Roger and his crew just installed artificial turf in our backyard last week. Great work and great crew! They worked fast, hard working and very courteous. We love it! Very personable owner with a great reputation. I'm very picky about contractors and I would highly recommend Hill Construction! read more

Roger designed and built a wonderful paver patio. An ugly old aggregate patio was demolished and careful attention was paid to run off issues. He was a pleasure to work with and the work was done in a timely fashion, completing more quickly than the estimate. There are paver companies with big advertising and merchandising budgets who will charge you much more, but you won't get better quality. read more

We are as happy as we could be with our new patio and driveway installed by Hill Construction. From our initial contact with Roger to the very end of the process, Roger was helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, creative, attentive and super professional. The workmanship really was impeccable and we have received many compliments on the design and installation. It truly transformed our property and really gave the look of our home the wow factor we were looking for. With our new inviting patio, we have found that we entertain a lot more and spend many more enjoyable hours relaxing in a space that was a bit blah before Roger's design came to fruition. We highly recommend this company. Roger was always there in person, or by email, text or phone, to promptly address any concerns or questions we had. This company stands by it's work and is competitively priced. And as far as quality and professionalism, they are a cut above the rest. read more

I always get 3 bids on work to be done at our home in Hillsborough. Roger Hill was the 2nd bid I received and I stopped there. Our driveway and walkways are old cobblestone. While they are beautiful old stones the uneven cobble was becoming literally a face plant hazard! Roger took a detailed look at all areas of stone and offered many options for what we could do to redo our driveway while retaining some of the existing stone areas, and creating a seamless blend of the old and new. His manner of discussing the options and working with me to determine the best materials to use made it seem like it was his own personal home we were dealing with! But it only got better from there. He introduced his crew (how often does that happen?) and they all worked as a very efficient and communicative team. He kept me informed of the job status a couple times a day as well as came by to ensure a quality job. I had him quote me on a Thursday and 8 days later I had the most beautiful new driveway of pavers that seamlessly flowed with the old cobblestone. The other bid was twice as much and the recommendation of course was to redo all walkways and porches etc. Roger Hill enhanced my property, saved me money and I can't say enough about the outstanding quality of his work and professionalism.

We are so pleased with our experience with Roger Hill of Hill Construction and the beautiful paver driveway job they did! We were in need of help after we engaged an unlicensed contractor who left our driveway in disrepair for over 2 months. We knew we had to fix the job by hiring a professional, and we interviewed 3 contractors, including Hill Construction. Roger came with outstanding recommendations and gave us the best price out of 3 contractors we interviewed, so we hired him. His team started very quickly, kept on schedule, and overdelivered. Roger has a great eye for design; he suggested a paver pattern and some special touches near the garage door and front entry that really make the driveway look spectacular. We can't stop opening the front door and looking at it! We will certainly hire Roger again for other jobs and highly recommend you to talk with him if you are considering a paver driveway. read more
