We had a very positive experience with Cale, Baylee, Kevin, and the ARC Design crew…read more Our home on Mt. Soledad sits below higher lots, so water naturally runs into our yard during storms. We brought ARC in to help us develop a strategy to mitigate moisture intrusion into our garage and improve overall drainage around the property. The scope included tying our downspouts directly into new drains, excavating four feet of soil from a planter opposite the garage wall and waterproofing it, and improving site drainage throughout. In addition, they installed new irrigation valves and valve boxes, drip irrigation, and a Rachio controller. They also finished the project with weed fabric and decorative rock, which really cleaned up the look of the space. ARC was easy to work with, responsive to requested changes, and professional throughout the process. While the long-term moisture performance will take more time to fully evaluate, we appreciate their effort and would absolutely consider working with them again for future landscaping projects.

Amazing communication start to finish. We had gotten 3 quotes prior to making a final decision. 2…read morefrom referrals (arc was one of them). The quote was delivered in a very detailed, timely manner. My husband had some questions, which cale was happy to entertain. This made my husband feel better about the final decision and ultimately we moved forward. Before work was started, we did a final walk through BEFORE signing off to officially hire ARC. I liked that because it ensured we were all speaking the same lingo for the job. You can be as hands on or off as you need. I was home about fifty percent of the project. The gentlemen all working at our home were quiet, courteous, didnt mind me snapping progress pics, and I was happy they confirmed stepping stone placement for the walkways. The employees were always in company labeled shirts, which looks way more professional. I have already referred arc to several people. Bailey was nice to step in and answer questions/confirm project start dates and communication when needed. Very very happy with our before and after!!!!!

Villanuevas Landscape does a great job! Andres stopped by to discuss the project and provided a…read morevery competitive quote. We wanted to remove the mulched area, install turf, get the irrigatiom system back up and running, remove shrubs and trees, fill the remaining retaining wall slope with ice plant, and paint the retaining wall. They were able to complete the project in 3 days and were very clean throughout the process. Their work and speed is very impressive. Andres did not try to sell me on anything, which I really appreciated. He offered opinions when asked, but was not pushy about expanding the project. He was very honest and communicated very well. I will definitely reach out to Andres and his team for any future projects.

After searching for a contractor that was reliable and reasonably priced, we came across Cal South…read more Mike and his team built our retaining wall exactly how we envisioned it back in 2024. We then hired them to completely demo and remodel our front and back yard a year later. We provided the plan and Mike added some ideas through his experience to make our vision come to life. He stayed flexible during the whole process and maintained communication so we were always in the loop! Mike prides himself on the quality of his work and it shows. Work completed by CalSouth: - complete demo - retaining wall - all form work and concrete pours - dg, rock, flagstone, sod, and mulch install - installed post for sail shades - planted plants we provided - irrigation for our lawn and raised beds We would recommend CalSouth to anyone that has landscaping needs!

We hired this company for a custom fence, and while the initial build had some issues the way they…read morehandled the issue completely changed my impression. After I contacted the owner and spoke with Sharon, they took full responsibility and redid the entire fence from the ground up. The new build is exactly what we were hoping for: high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and a beautiful finished product that really elevates our property. Custom work doesn't always go perfectly the first time, but what matters is how a company responds--and they absolutely stood behind their work and made it right. That level of integrity and follow-through is hard to find. I would confidently recommend them based on the final result and their commitment to customer satisfaction.

BIG shout out to Sunny Builders Group!!!They are amaaaazing!!!…read more We had 40+ overgrown "hedges" that became more like small trees over the years and were intertwined with old metal fencing. I've wanted to get a new fence for so long, but I was afraid it would be too expensive since the hedges would have to be removed first. I spent 2 weeks getting quotes from various types of businesses that could get the job done... and then I found Sunny Builders Group! With many areas of expertise, they proved to be a one-stop-shop that did all the things I had received individual quotes for: Remove the hedges, grind the stumps, demo the old fence, haul it all away, install a new vinyl fence, DG pathway... and to my surprise, they could even replace my broken granite countertop ! They took care of all the behind the scenes planning and coordination, and we stayed under budget! What a blessing! My experience with them has been fantastic, starting with my very first call to Rachel, she's so helpful and put my mind at ease! The crew was on time, ahead of schedule, and worked together like a well-oiled machine, so quick and efficient! Sunny is an absolute delight to work with! Throughout the whole process, I always felt like he's had my best interest in mind and wasn't just out to make a buck. He's a fair and honest man, and is very generous in sharing discounts and money-saving tips. Even with so much to juggle, he handled it all with such grace and professionalism, and was excellent at communicating every step of the way! Sunny Builders Group exceeded my expectations...and then some!!! I'll be a customer for life and look forward to working with them again on future projects. Thank you Sunny Builders Group, I am forever grateful!!!

Powerhouse wasn't the first company we called, nor were they the cheapest -- but we got an immediate sense from the owner Jack when he did the initial walkthrough and bid that we would be in good hands if we went with them to replace both the driveway and garage flooring. I think it is the up-front and transparent manner in which Jack approaches his business. He let us know up front all potential pitfalls, gave us a wealth of information about types of concrete, and even told us up-front that our original choice of Pavers had the potential to cost us more in the long run. Well-informed, we decided to go with stamped concrete with rebar, and within a week the jackhammers were knocking all the old stuff out. His workers were friendly, efficient and finished in a week. We are extremely happy with the end result, the customer service rendered, and value we received for the product. Our neighbors can't stop raving about the end result, and we are incredibly happy as well!

He's very transparent and honest all around, and gave us a few good options to get started. In our experience, he was very open to feedback, and had quick turnaround times between revisions, offering several revisions from the get go and delivering on time.

Stacey was nothing but totally professional and helpful during the entire project. She was on time for the initial interview and estimate. She clearly explained the project to us and gave us the estimate for the work. During the work, she stayed in touch and was reachable at any time we had any questions. The job was finished on time and at the agreed on price - no surprises. We are completely happy with the work that was done. We were so satisfied with the work on this project, we hired them to do an additional electrical upgrade project that needed to be done at this house. Again, the job was quickly completed on time at the agreed on price. We are completely satisfied with the work on both projects and would use them again for any additional project. UPDATE: an oopsey. I misspelled the Project Manager's name in my review. Her name is Stacey. Regardless of my spelling, she provided us with top notch service.
