    Before Surf Side
    Sara

    We received a notification from our HOA that we needed to trim an overgrown tree in front of our house. Surf Side reached out to us almost instantly, and we were able to schedule a time for them to come within about one business day. We asked them to shave the tree down as far as possible, and they did it in 30 minutes for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely be hiring them again !

    Great work, cleaned up my front yard landscaping that was a real mess. Very reasonable and quick service

    New weed barrier, mulch, and planted plants.

    I used Yelp Projects to acquire quotes for a side yard landscape project and one of the companies to respond was Surf Side Landscaping. We set up a day and time for an on-site estimate. Rafael, the owner and his team arrived and we reviewed what I wanted done. Later he sent an itemized quote that broke out each line item. I appreciated that as he was the only company to itemize their quote. His quote was competitive and more attractive than others I received for the project. Later I contacted him again as I decided to add a few plants to the job and he only increased the quote minimally. The morning of the job, he and his teammate arrived on time and ready with mulch, shovels, and tools. They worked all day and did everything we had discussed. They cleaned the site when they were finished. They changed my eye sore side yard into something that now looks much better-as you can see in the attached photo's. I plan to use Surf Side Landscaping in the future and can recommend them for landscaping projects.

    Rafael was easy to work with, on time, and did a great job of cleaning up our yard! See before and after photos. We will continue to use them for monthly maintenance.

    After

    Rafael and his guys did an amazing job cleaning up my backyard. It was quite overgrown with weeds and they finished work in about an hour and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Price was very competitive as well.

    We had an inoperable gate on the wall which he worked around as well as I would have hoped for. Thank you Rafael!

    Great work by Rafael. Quick response when asked for a quote on here. Had issues with intruders and needed to add some height to our fence, Rafael made an inexpensive fix look great! He took extra effort to work around a tree and inoperable gate on the fence line and had extra suggestions with the fence to help ensure it would solve our problems. Will definitely have him back for any future work. Give him a call!

    Hillside Pavers - Courtyard driveway in Fullerton, Ca.

    Hillside Pavers

    (113 reviews)

    There are renovations that improve a home -- and then there are renovations that fundamentally…read morerecalibrate how that home exists within its environment. What Byron Schley and the team at Hillside Pavers delivered for us falls squarely into the latter category. Ours is one of the oldest houses on the block, my grandfather built it himself in the early seventies so needless to say there is sentimental value here, the years were told loudly in its dated facade ever more blindly as one by one and year by year the houses around us became more modern and desirable and that contrast was ever more noticeable when it became every other house on the block. Before this project, our front yard was little more than a narrow, uninspired strip adjacent to the public sidewalk that functioned more like spillover from the street than usable property. It did nothing to reflect the scale or architectural presence of our three-story, beach-adjacent home. Today, that same footprint operates as a private, structured courtyard -- a defined outdoor living space that feels intentional, modern, and architecturally integrated. The Techo-Bloc paver installation is executed with geometric discipline and clean proportional balance. The contrasting border trim sharpens the layout, and the modular patterning reads refined rather than repetitive. Where water once pooled visibly, the drainage now performs efficiently and invisibly -- The upgraded water line alone was transformative. What used to produce barely a trickle now delivers pressure so strong it rivals commercial output .The underground drip irrigation system is intelligently concealed beneath the hardscape and reemerges precisely within the base of our large entry planters. It is automated, timer-controlled, and calibrated for plant health without visual clutter. For us gardening is a foreign labor, the system removes guesswork and replaces it with precision. It lays the groundwork for what will be Madagascar jasmine and Rainbow's End climbing roses to ascend the custom trellis Speaking of the trellis -- it is a custom design by Byron himself and serves as the architectural anchor of the entire entry sequence. Its linear steel geometry frames the approach to the home, introduces vertical rhythm, and gives the courtyard presence and scale. The black powder-coated aluminum slat fencing, set atop a raised paver foundation, creates privacy without heaviness.The laser-cut gate beneath the trellis introduces texture and artistry, especially when lit from behind at night. And the lighting system integrated along the fence base and entryway is hospitality-grade in execution. The perimeter wash creates a subtle floating effect. The laser-cut gate panels glow from behind in layered depth rather than harsh brightness. With full color customization available, the space can transition from understated architectural white to vibrant holiday displays with precision. It feels closer to a Ritz-Carlton courtyard or private club environment than a residential frontage. Most importantly, the project didn't just improve appearance -- it created usable square footage. It has become the preeminent gathering space of our home. it is upscale functional living space.The neighborhood response has been immediate .Neighbors who we barely knew for years have introduced themselves. Passersby stop to compliment the change.The property now projects the level of architectural coherence it always deserved. We approached this cautiously. Prior experiences made us exacting and demanding clients. Byron handled that with patience and professionalism. When questions arose, they were addressed. The end result reflects accountability and pride in workmanship. Hillside Pavers is not inexpensive -- but quality rarely is. There is a tangible difference between budget work and engineered, finished craftsmanship. This project did not simply beautify our home. It expanded it. If you are seeking exterior transformation that blends infrastructure, architecture, lighting design, and true spatial creation -- Byron Schley delivers work that justifies the investment. The result is not just attractive.It is world class work accompanied by attentive customer service . Rarely do you see people that live by the age old idiom anymore who's motto is the customer is always right! But With this outfit that's exactly what you receive and working with them was transformative . I highly recommend their services to any and everyone who are sick of simply average work and service that only toes the industry line, if you want something more, something world class and a good experience throughout call Byron Schley and hillside pavers (+1 (714) 613-2500) , I cannot sing their praises high enough and this review doesn't even give them the credit they deserve so one last time Thank You Byron and thank the boys down at hillside pavers for an amazing job

    We recently completed a major paver project with Hillside Pavers, and I can honestly say the final…read moreresult came out even better than I imagined. We were referred to Hillside Pavers by a close friend who had completed a similar project not long before ours, and that recommendation gave us a lot of confidence going in. After going through the process ourselves, I can absolutely see why they spoke so highly of the company. From the beginning, Byron made the design and estimating process feel very clear and professional. One thing I really appreciated was that he used an iPad on-site to draw out the design, calculate measurements, and price everything very accurately. It was not a vague "ballpark estimate" type of process -- it felt transparent, exact, and easy to visualize, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. Byron also helped us finalize the color choices, especially for the walkway, and his suggestions made a big difference in the final look. Roberto, who supervised the on-site construction work, was also excellent. He really listened to my concerns, took the time to discuss details with me, and most importantly followed through in the actual work without any issues. That meant a lot to me because I care about both design and functionality, and he handled both very well. Casandra in the office and Oscar as the business manager were also great throughout the process. They were organized, responsive, and helped keep everything coordinated smoothly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. What stood out most about Hillside Pavers overall was that they listened to our preferences and worked with us instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. The workmanship, communication, and attention to detail were all strong, and the finished project truly transformed the property. During the project and especially after completion, we received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends, which really confirmed for us how well everything came together. I would absolutely recommend Byron, Roberto, Casandra, Oscar, and the entire Hillside Pavers team.

We did not have a concrete idea of what we wanted at first but Oscar was great with helping us plan by guiding us and asking about how we wanted to use our space. He also created documents to submit to our HOA for approval, and he was able to make changes quickly when needed. Victor and the crew were on time, efficient, and timely with the work. It was greatly appreciated that everything was washed down and cleaned by the crew at the end of each day. They were also able to make quick adjustments when our neighbor had some concerns with the hedges we wanted to plant. The scope of the work included adding a concrete pad, extending our concrete patio, planting privacy hedges with drainage and auto watering system, installing artificial grass with paver walkways, and adding pebbles along the exterior wall of our house. Since we have a soft watering system, we also had them install a separate line from the main. Overall, Caliscapes OC was professional, friendly, and accommodating. We even had one of the hedge plants not doing well. We reached out to Caliscapes OC to advise us on how to revive it, and they said they would replace it. We had a good experience and would recommend!
