We had a great experience with Swanson Landscaping in Livermore. A few years after our landscaping…read moreproject was completed, we noticed that a few items had stopped working properly and some areas were no longer in the best shape. We reached out to his office, and communication was prompt, professional, and easy throughout the entire process. To our surprise and appreciation, he personally came out with his team to take a look and addressed every concern right away. They fixed everything quickly and efficiently, and made sure everything was working and looking great again. It's rare these days to find a company that stands behind their work years later, but Swanson Landscaping truly does. Their commitment to customer service and quality really shows. We're so grateful they made everything right, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, honest landscaping services in Livermore!

We used our existing rock and brought in new bark. All of the old irrigation was replaced with drip lines and they pruned back our large, overgrown trees in the front. Very knowledgable and completed in five days!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I am so pleased with the end result that I already start a discussion with Ernesto about our next backyard projects: to extend the backyard patio and to build a outdoor kitchen.

He also put in accent lights, trees, a drip system, and gravel that complements the pavers. The completed project exceeded my expectations.

Employees at this instance were working on filling the cracks in a concrete on the sidewalk next to…read moreOkoboji View Golf course. The problem is they blocked the whole sidewalk, so it is impossible for people to walk or bike without stepping/riding on the lawn. After stopping g by and asking politely the guy on a picture that they should leave a little bit of space for people to walk/ride by, his answer was, "the sidewalk is closed." Sir, there is no detour because it is the ONLY sidewalk there next to highway. You can't tell people with baby strollers or byciclists to go on highway. So, in this instance very selfish behavior and execution on behalf of this company. Next time, please think about all people involved and maybe organize a detour if it really necessary to block the whole sidewalk.

All the business was done in a professional manner including quotes and contracts. The work was done to specification and matched the layout to the blueprint we provided. Abraham the owner was very helpful in setting the schedule for the pour to avoid several rainy days that happened. Abraham patiently waited for the right time for best results. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend Abraham and his team for their outstanding concrete work!

Erik, owner of Las Palmas, was referred to us by Lynda at Outer Visions Landscape. We hired Las…read morePalmas last year after getting quotes from three different contractors. Las Palmas wasn't the least expensive of the three, but we felt very comfortable with Erik and his expertise at our initial meeting. He and his crew know what they're doing, make suggestions for better functionality, are flexible and easy-going, and to top it off are really nice people. We had a very specific, custom curved bench built by them and it was completed beyond our expectations. With any project during the pandemic, there were a couple hiccups/delays due to supply chain issues, but from start to finish the project took 2-1/2 months and we couldn't be happier. We love our backyard and will use Las Palmas for our future front yard project.

We love the pavers that they put in and receive tons of compliments. He even made a suggestion on swapping the stairs/ramps locations and it looks great. He's responsive and very professional.

I recently hired FG Pavers for a major project involving a complete storm drainage system, a new…read moreretaining wall, and paver installation. Overall, I am very satisfied with the transformation of my outdoor space. From the start, Hugo was fantastic. He helped me navigate the design phase, offering creative solutions and solid ideas that I hadn't even considered. During construction, Nick was incredibly accommodating. Even though it was clear he had a very busy schedule, he made a point to visit the site daily and was always available to answer my calls, which I really appreciated. The crew themselves were hard workers and clearly skilled in their trade. That said, with a project of this scale, I found that being a highly involved homeowner was necessary. There were a couple of instances where I had to step in to point out issues that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. To their credit, FG Pavers corrected these items immediately once they were raised. I'd recommend them for their craftsmanship and their willingness to make things right.

Project: Installing Porcelain/Saltillo-style matte patio with inlays and a paver walkway…read moreSummary: I'd hire FG Pavers and Turf again at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. Bid/Quote: They came, inspected the project site and gave a complete quote including the construction detail. Tiles in an outdoor patio is uncommon, so we had a lot of questions from the grading to rebar to water proofing to sealent to grout. FG answered all the questions and accommodated our requests to align with the tile vendor recommendations. Price competitiveness: We spoke with 4 paver companies. 1 didn't want to do Porcelain tiles+ Paver, 1 didn't meet our budget, job was too small for one. Project Management: regular site visits by the site lead. Eduardo is a gem. They helped us pick the right material, picked up the tiles, did the dry layout and kept us updated on the schedule Work site: Saul and his team were punctual, spotless at the end of workday and walked through every step of the process. They made sure we reviewed the progress and that we approved the changes. We had a couple of last minute changes. Eduardo/Saul accommodated that. Saul is awesome to work with Quality of work: Wife can't stop beaming. I am going to be cashing that check for a while

I have gotten so many compliments on my home already. Check them out you won't be sorry

Great design and installation of tasteful spotlights, mushroom lights, and some custom lights in the paver patterns. The Black Diamond team workers were fast, clean, organized, courteous, and their craftsmanship was excellent and the finished front of the house was a very custom and professional job. They were also flexible, which is probably most important. It now has a very modern, Tuscan look. What a transformation from cracked concrete! The neighbor dropped by, was amazed, and said: sign me up too! Definitely would recommend. It turned out better than we had imagined.
