The so-called "owner" Matt (He claimed himself but I believe that is not his real name, his real name should be Frank Farrugia) never came to fix the planter chip which the crew made as he promised. Black truck marks are still left behind. Don't be fooled their 5 stars false comments. They can make this up easily. Buyer beware! read more

I recently had my driveway replaced with Modern Paving. I've read some previous reviews on Yelp about them, but it seems the owners or players have changed since those reviews. I worked with two brothers, Nabil and Matt. I actually found them by asking a neighbor who he used for his pavers. In any case, I received about 8-10 estimates from several contractors. I have to tell my fellow Yelpers to stay away from System Pavers in Santa Ana. For the same work, they quoted more than double Modern Paving and about double my average estimate I received. See my review of them. The cost was lower than other comparable contractors. I selected Modern Paving because of Nabil and his eagerness to make sure his customer (me) was happy. He also was very good at being patient with my wife- since she changes her mind repeatedly. In the end, Nabil and his brother delivered a driveway that was better than I had expected and they really take care of their customers. Sure, we had a couple delays- it went from 7-10 days, to it actually taking 14 days, but you have to expect that kind of stuff in construction. The cost was exactly the same as we had discussed from day 1. I would definitely recommend Nabil at Modern Paving if you want to go with Pavers. read more

Our driveway needed to be replaced so we contacted a couple of paving companies. We finally decided to go with Modern Paving. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Kim, the Design Consultant, is very knowledgeable and was so helpful throughout the whole process. Same can be said of Rick and his crew. I highly recommend Modern Paving. KUDOS! read more

I made an appointment with this company and Gary set us up for a Sat. June 6 appointment at 10am. It's 2:03pm now. No show! No call! No nothing! I have been waiting wasting time. Very DISAPPOINTING! If I was the owner of this business I'd save my money for advertising because you're just wasting your funds. Potential customers are responding to your ads but your people aren't following through. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Gary, who never showed up! This tells me a lot about how they do business.

We got 2 bids, Modern Paving was less, but would have used them, even if more expensive, based on a referral we got for them. They installed pavers to our driveway and front porch/courtyard. Every aspect of the job was done very professionally, and within the timing they projected. Result was even better than we anticipated. We would highly recommend this company. Tim L.

When we moved into our Rancho cucamonga home we noted the possibility of pooling water in one part of the yard next to the home. The seller indicated that there was no problem with standing water. Shortly after close of escrow we had a significant rain storm and the truth bore out that the land was improperly sloped toward the home. We called three different land contractors, three different yard experts and three different plumbers. All of these were either not not willing or not skilled in suggesting a solution,. We found Modern Paving (modernpaving.com) and spoke to Frank Treglia and Matt Lallas (owner). They indicated that they tackle these types of challenges routinely, They stated a fair price and went to work. through sunshine and rain their crews worked relentlessly to remove old pavers, old concrete, old driveway and walkways and old porches and then re-slope the land correctly and finally installed a significant number of new drains and piped the drains to the street After compacting they installed new pavers which went beyond our expectations in terms of quality, beauty and symmetry. We have had three significant large rain storms since they completed and we are completely delighted with the outcome. We are sincerely delighted with the fine work Matt Lallas and his work crews did and plan to hire them again. Martin Jones read more

Modern Paving crew did an excellent job with remodeling our front and backyard landscaping. As part of the job they did a complete demotion, redesign and rebuild including interlock and custom firepit. We were pleased with the quality of work and craftsmanship. We are very happy with the skill set of the team and overall look of the front and backyard. read more

Modern Paving completed the paving and turf for the front and sides of our house today and the results were BEYOND my expectations! Total transformation. As they were wrapping up today we had 4 different neighbors come up and ask for business cards, and I've noticed a couple cars this evening slow down and take down the info from the Modern Paving sign that we still have on the lawn. Nabil was great and worked with our budget and gave us plenty of suggestions and ideas that we took advantage of in our yard's design. Gabriel and his crew were incredible; they were fast and their work is superb. One of the first things I checked were the corners and behind areas that were less visible, the attention to detail was all there in their work. I was impressed from start to finish. I've already suggested them to my sister in law who should be giving them a call soon! I look forward to calling Nabil again for a couple of future projects that my wife and I have in mind. Highly recommended. read more

Crazy!!! Driving back and forth looking for it but cant find the exact address! Called the # they provided. But the lady on the phone told me there is no real office. Hey, why did you put your address at Rancho Cucamonga when there is no real office. I was excited to see and get a quote but a huge turn off. read more

My family and I were searching for an honest landscaping company that would do an excellent job in a timely manner for our new home. After interviewing over 10 companies we found Modern Paving to be the most professional company we have ever worked with. We worked with Nabill. He is the most knowledgeable and honest guy in the business you'll ever meet. Everything Nabill promised was actually delivered. From a superior product in our pavers, great design that he helped build. Our backyard was done very fast and very professionally we are so happy that we found Nabill with Modern Paving it was such a joy to work with them to create our wonderful beautiful dream backyard for our family to enjoy for the years to come. I highly recommend them. If we ever move we will use them again to create our new backyard. read more

We recently had our pool deck and driveway replaced with Modern Paving. We had various estimates for this job and Nabil was able to get us a reasonable price.....We were referred to Modern Paving by a friend. Nabil and his crew completed the work as expected and went beyond our expectations by making mid project changes, with no complaints or unreasonable price increases.... We are very pleased with the results of their work and would highly recommend this company due to the great job they did. All work was completed as agreed. We will need future work done and will be calling them again for the job. Thank you Nabil and Gabriel. read more

Modern Paving did a great job on my patio (second house where I used them). We had only access through the house, and they were very careful and did not cause any inside damage. Cleaned up very well, did extras that I asked and they were very accommodating. The foreman had great customer service and was very detailed. I would highly recommend Modern Paving. read more

Our backyard was so unappealing that we never really enjoyed going outside. After many hours of research and viewing photos, we decided to rip everything out and replace the concrete with pavers, a patio cover and drought tolerant landscaping. We got several quotes, but were really impressed with the pavers that Modern Paving had done for someone we knew. Bill came out and gave us a quote and a plan for pavers & patio cover. He was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. His crew was EXCELLENT, they really knew what they were doing. We LOVE the work they did, in fact we also added a fire-pit as we were so impressed. Our backyard is awesome and we've used it more in the last month than we used our backyard the whole 8 years we've lived here. Thank you Bill & Modern Paving you are the BEST! read more

Modern pavers not only did a beautiful pool in my back yard but also installed pavers around the pool. Nabil the owner is a very kind man. He is concerned about his customers happiness and addresses all your concerns. Love our new pool. read more

This is not a short review however, it just might save you a ton of trouble, plenty of time and a big fat headache when making your decision for a project. Pavers and artificial grass was the only job. NO new sprinkler lines, they were already capped. NO planters. Nothing crazy. Super simple. My ONLY requirement, a mid March deadline due to a rather big birthday party we have scheduled in THAT same yard we wanted worked on. On February 18, I hired this company with Gary's promise of "we can start as early as next week!" That turned into 11 days later. Then the Monday they were supposed to start, they postponed to Wednesday. Then Wednesday came & they tried to postpone to the week after... That's when I lost my mind for about 5 minutes & called Matt, the supposed owner. Matt apologized and we figured out the "official start date." The team showed up to begin the work on our agreed "official start date." As Gary & my husband agreed, day one of the project there was an expected possibility of a few changes. With that said, I decided to change the LOCATION of pavers (NOT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE) just the location... Lessening square footage of pavers from one side of the yard & adding that SAME square footage to a different side of the yard. This created havoc. Gary tried to strong arm me into signing a NEW contract because of the square foot re-location. The new contract was almost $500 MORE than the original one. Gary claimed I was adding 60 sq feet more of pavers. Confused, I asked him to come inside my home and explain. I begin our discussion by showing him a drawing with measurements I took. I pointed out how there's not 60 new square feet, JUST relocation. I ALSO showed him a $375 charge for an irrigation line that he never removed from the contract... The irrigation line that we agreed WASN'T needed or desired (refer to my second paragraph.) Gary proceeded with his disgusting behavior... sighing continuously, rolling his eyes at me, carelessly making offensive comments like "I wish your husband was here because YOU don't understand!" Finally, he surrendered saying "forget it, we will take a loss on this job, we just wanna get it done and get outta here!" He then storms out of my house and SLAMMED my door! Absolutely repulsive. There's no doubt in my mind, Gary will surly cost this company money. He messed up trying to screw this family. Not only can I do math, I'm also an AVID Yelper. Oh and one more thing... Originally, when Gary quoted me, we asked Modern Paving to only take HALF of our old material (half the artificial turf we kept for our dog), ultimately saving them money when dumping. When they arrived they acted as if they would need to charge me EXTRA since they "never planned to haul away ANY of the old material. Both Matt and Gary looked at each other totally ACTING like they had no clue I wanted material taken & agreed it would be an extra charge. Not only was I embarrassed of their act, I didn't have the energy or the time to argue. Whatever, I just told them to leave it. The job was finished in 2 days. They removed their BS $500 charge and agreed to the original contracted amount. It was nothing big so not worth the headache or drama I endured. Overall, I would've NEVER continued with Modern Paving if I wasn't up against the wall on timing. I dealt with their bs but... It wont be long before they'll likely feel the burn of a bad reputation. So in conclusion Gary, you lose. You should've just been honest. Your poor choice of behavior will haunt you, mark my words. You're extremely lucky my husband wasn't here to witness your disrespect. Unfortunately for you, we know A LOT of people. Remember that party we have scheduled? (Refer to my second paragraph) Yeah... Unprofessional Modern Paving will be the topic of discussion. read more

After interviewing quite a few paving companies we selected Modern Paving. Not only was their price as good as any, better than most and significantly better than a few, so far they have been among the most professional group of contractors with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Ironically Modern Paving was the first firm I spoke with regarding our project. We planned to totally remove our existing hardscape and landscaping and start over. We don't make quick decisions so our selection process went on for months. During that time one thing stayed constant, Modern Paving. The price we were quoted a few months ago is the same price we saw when we made our decision a week ago. We found some of their competitors reluctant to give us a price at all, others seemed to offer ever changing prices and some were just staggeringly expensive. Modern Paving was consistent and reasonable and has so far delivered excellent workmanship, what more could we ask of a contractor? Our journey with Modern Paving started with Frank who came to our home, asked what we had in mind, made some suggestions to enhance our ideas, did some measuring and gave us a price on the spot. Over the next couple of months Frank would check in with us, never pushy, just reassuring that when we were ready, so was Modern Paving. A few days before we began, I was introduced to Matt one of the owners of Modern Paving and much like Frank he could not have been more reassuring and willing to do whatever we desired to ensure we were happy with the final outcome of our project. So far they have completed demo and installed a retaining wall and we could not be happier with the progress. I will update this as we continue, but I expect to be even happier with Modern Paving as the job continues. read more

Very upset with Modern Paving customer service follow-up. We spent $12000 on a new patio and installation of artificial turf 2 1/4 years ago (Feb 2011). Supposedly the turf was top of the line according to salesman. Now the turf is looking a little matted. Called the company to roll the turf, something the sales man said we could request when needed, and Modern Paving is telling us there will be a $700 service charge. This was not disclosed to us at the time of purchase. We are very sorry we did business with this company. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! read more

I just complete my landscape for backyard with Modern Paving. The work was great. They came to work on time, completed the project ahead of schedule and within budget. They are the very best at paving stones and outdoor living. We had them design and build a custom bench with beautiful stone veneer. We love their work and expertise. We strongly recommend these guys for paving and landscape design. read more

My backyard was transformed when we decided to remove much of our grass. MP did the work in a reasonable time frame and they clean the area well following. I am impressed with the skill level of the crew who did an awesome job with the cuts of pavers and block work done on my yard. read more

They just finished my front yard job beautifully, and the "clean up" job afterward was done also nicely. They had everything planned neatly, including payments, you'll feel confident working with them, on top of that, they respond to customers' concern quickly! They are great! read more

We hired modern paving a few weeks ago to lay pavers in our back yard and we couldn't be happier with the results. Nabil came out gave us a quote, we signed a contract the same day and shortly after they began work. I was very impressed with the crew, they were very efficient, knowledgable, hard working and friendly. They really paid attention to detail and it shows. Modern paving is a reliable and trustworthy company that I would definitely recommend to family and friends in the future. Our back yard looks amazing, feels amazing and I can't wait to enjoy it all summer long. Thank you again Nabil and your crew for the awesome job!! read more

Two years ago we had Modern Paving come out and do our pool and backyard. We were very pleased with the work they did. Recently we had a paver sinking, I called Nabil and he got a guy out to the house within two days to fix the problem. everything is looking good. They do good work. read more

A+++ Business. We wanted to replace our old backyard cemet patio approximately 1000sf with pavers. Contacted over eight companies for a quote. Most quotes were very expensive Modern paving quote was of half of price for same amount of work. Skeptical at beginning but now a true believer. Modern Paving sent over Nabil . He definitely knows his job, very courteous and listen to what you have to say. His crew arrived on time early every morning and worked nonstop until dawn. I was very impressed with their hard work. Clean up after each day and pay attention to detail. Modern paving definitely got my business in the future. read more

Modern Paving replaced our old very damaged driveway. The work was intense as there were many tree roots and obstacles. The workers were outstanding. Very professional. We are very happy with the workers, price, and outcome of our new driveway. Thank you so much! read more

Gary designed a wonderful front yard remodel for us with pavers and artificial turf. He listened to what we wanted and really came through with the design and details. Once the crew started, they worked nonstop. Their attention to detail was crazy impressive. We have an area that wasn't covered with stucco very well by the builder and requested to have the pavers as high as possible. They sent someone out to stucco what couldn't be covered! I could not believe what an impressive job they did. They worked quickly and clean, showing respect for our property, such as asking if it was okay to leave some tools in the backyard. I also appreciated that they asked questions when they were unsure and made a few design suggestions when the original plan wouldn't have worked like we thought. They also allowed us to DIY a few portions of the project to save a bit. I give them my highest recommendation. Prior to meeting with Modern Paving, we dealt with a string of flakes. I am so glad we chose Modern Paving. read more

My wife and I used Modern Paving almost exactly two years ago to have our back patio, front walkway, and porch paved with paving stones and were extremely happy with the work they performed, so much so that we decided to have them do the same thing with the same type of paving stones with our side yard and the borders on both sides of our house in the front. This job concluded today and they did just as good of a job as they did two years ago! Several guys worked hard on the job for two days. This job was a bit smaller than the job two years ago. The guy on the crew we communicated with the most was Andy who is a very nice person to deal with but all of them were hard workers and were nice. Like two years ago, they did a beautiful job and were very neat and clean with the cleanup. From our experience most contractors are either not reliable, incompetent, dishonest or any combination of the three but Modern Paving is exceptional and my wife and I would highly recommend them. We also very much like the owner, Nabil. I think most people don't realize how much skill is involved to do this job right and it is absolutely not an easy job of which I had no idea until I watched them perform their work, both two years ago and this time. By the way, the work we had done by them two years ago looks as good now as it did two years ago when completed! We had them put sealant on all the paving stones both times which seems to be a good idea. read more

Superior high end pool builder! I originally contracted with Modern Paving to do the hardscape part of my backyard renovation (pavers and turf). When I couldn't reach agreeable contract terms with the pool builder, Modern Paving was recommended as a pool builder as well (I had to research them as I thought they only did hardscape). I had such a positive experience and negotiations on the hardscaping (Nabil, the owner, was forthright and honest about costs and materials and there was no up selling), I decided to take a chance. I was shocked that they stepped into the design, quickly entered into a contract and built an AWESOME high end pool and jacuzzi, fire pit, built in BBQ finish work and backyard hardscape. And on time, with no budget surprises (they did what they said they would do, in the time promised and at the cost agreed upon). Nabil is very responsive and texts and/or calls were responded to typically within minutes! Nabil will suggest design concepts that may be difficult to envision. I do not like to hear "just trust me," but I finally relented and trusted as he was always spot on with his recommendations (he is a high end pool builder after all). They paid attention to detail and really cared about craftsmanship. Our pool and backyard is now resort-like. Family and friends are enjoying the beautiful pool and environment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MODERN PAVING (and I only recommend those whom I would hire again without hesitation). read more
