I'm the CEO of this company been in business since 1988 and I'd like to say I'm one of the best in San Joaquin County. The Lord gets all the credit he's the one that's giving me the skills. I don't know anybody in this County that does metal work like myself. I'm an artist been all my life. I won many shows. I've never doubted myself. I'm self-taught! I paint in all different mediums I do wood sculpture Stone just about every medium except stained glass but I know I could do that if I put my mind to it as well. And I would be good at I'm sure. There again I tell everybody never doubt yourself. You could do just about anything you put your mind to it and it's a gift from God! That's a positive thing. And I'm very optimistic person best way to be to have peace. And I like to think of others before myself. Because I'm already taking care of. That I know. And I've taught young people as well. these are getting to be lost skills. It's all handmade no computer or cookie cutter stuff. And yes I'd like to give myself a five star. Just for being who I am as an individual. That's what matters! And I do care of our fellow people bye being kind. And treat people like the way you want to be treated. Very simple! That's why I'm still in business. And it's really too bad that Yelp keeps taking off my reviews to set their agenda I guess. Have no idea maybe that's why they don't have a very good star rating it's too bad because I've talked to really nice people that work there. I was going to advertise and pay. But this happened a couple years ago and it has not been the same and it's all about good business practices. I've never advertised either hardly it's all pretty much Word of Mouth I've been in business before Yelp even exist LOL or Google just telling you like it is people and God bless you all. And your families and I wish Yelp the same thing. And to all the good people that work for them. read more

I posted a review of this man's business six to seven months ago, to which he reacted to as "funny" several times - and I have not interacted with this man since. In that time period I have deleted all of my reviews to other companies because he stalked my profile and reacted to ALL of my reviews. He is STILL reacting to this review over and over again, as recently as essentially the other month. If you confront this man about his creepy behavior and poor workmanship he will harass and stalk you, as well as pester you via whatever social media that he can find you through. He has made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe and finds that amusing. Tom, you claim to be a hard worker and spiritual person, but your behavior is predatory and your work is lazy. If you continue to interact with me, my family, and my Yelp account I will escalate the issue as appropriate. I asked you to leave my family and property alone MONTHS ago and you are making me uncomfortable. Please stop. If you had apologized or reached out to me personally I may have been willing to take my review down despite my experience with you, but you are proving time and time again that you find my discomfort amusing. You have a daughter my age ( Taylor, who you have had post falsified reviews on your behalf that have been taken down. ) I ask you to consider how you would feel if a man MANY years her senior were behaving this way towards her. I have proof of your inappropriate behavior, I don't understand why you continue to bother me. read more

Tom Oliver is an honest, hardworking, landscaping genius, who is truly gifted in his ability to make your yard shine. My wife and I first met Tom in the middle 90's when our yard was a disaster. We had tried various projects to get it to look good but we eventually just gave up. We don't recall how Tom came into our lives but it changed everything. We asked him what he could do with our yard and he looked at it, offered some suggestions and within a few weeks our yard was already looking better than it ever did. Now 20 some odd years later, our yard is more beautiful than ever and all the credit goes to Tom. Through the seasons he has carefully taken care to feed our lawn and flowers with the right nutrients, while being on the lookout for diseases and bugs that might harm our yard. Whatever our yard needs Tom takes care of it for us. On top of that, Tom is a true artist with the landscaping. He is always thinking of ways to make the yard look better by suggesting plants and flowers of various types and colors to take advantage of the seasons and our personal preferences. We can't imagine what our yard would look like without Tom in charge of it and we would gladly recommend him to anyone who needs their yard taken care of. Quit procrastinating and contact him. He will make your home truly stand out in your neighborhood. read more

I was in need of a talented metal fabricator to do some custom metal work around my house and garden, after calling half a dozen places or so, everyone was either unavailable, overpriced, or had terrible reviews regarding the quality of their work, then I found Tom Oliver. He's an awesome guy, super friendly and such a positive attitude, had a great time chatting with him. You can tell by the excellent quality of his work and his great attention to detail that he takes real pride in what he does. He helped design and install 2 large gates up front, and several small to medium sized gates throughout the garden. I had some ideas down on paper, and he was able to provide some of his own creative input and bring everything to life. I'm very happy with the way everything turned out, and have nothing but positive things to say about his workmanship, accountability, and customer service. read more

I met Tom Oliver at the time I bought my house in Stockton 2009. Tom had come highly recommended from my neighbor who had work performed by Lawn Express. I continue to thank my neighbor for recommending Tom and his company till this day. My home has fruit trees as well as an expansive front lawn which Tom brought back to life. I purchased my home through a foreclosure. The home was empty for approximately 18 months and Tom's unrelenting effort brought the lawn back to life.! Recently I called Tom to help me with an issue regarding my iron gates,and once again he rose to the occasion. You can also trust Tom charge a fair rate for his work which is excellent. In summary,if you're looking for an honest professional then Tom Oliver and Lawn Express is the only choice to consider.., read more

Tom Oliver created two custom metal candle holders for me, one is a cool wall mountable medieval style sconce. And the other was a medieval style table top candle holder. Both candle holders accent my decor just great. They both look amazing! I've seen Tom's other works, like his truly awesome one-of-a-kind, ornate custom metal gates! And his custom metal art sculptures are fantastic as well! If you need or want anything artistic that it truly unique and one-of-a-kind, I highly recommend that you give Tom a call for his service!

Contacted Tom after receiving his contact through a friend. Noticed the custom metal work on his truck and thought his work would look nice in my house. Asked him to do a custom bed frame for my little brothers room and I must say I'm definitely next in line for a custom bed. His work is clean, symmetrical, and obviously done with much love and care. You can tell he does what he does because he loves it and his product is a testament to just that. If you need custom metal work and ur around the valley you'd be a fool to go anywhere else. read more

Tom also sends me pictures of his work to let know how it's going. He takes pride in the work he does! Thanks Tom! read more

Tom is very talented and has a lot of pride in his work, and his creations tend to be bold and catchy.
