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.

We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

And the demolition crew proved so skillful that they were able to eliminate sidewalks, tree trunks, and every obstacle, each within minutes and with incredible precision, and without risk of injury to any worker or to any person nearby, and with incredible care not to damage any adjoining landscape or structure. BUT THEN IT GOT EVEN BETTER. The multiple installation crews turned out to be true craftsmen. The artistic layout of stones, their solidity, the cleanliness of the site, and their ability to solve problems was phenomenal. They would not tolerate anything but the finest result, not just with such graceful artistic consistency in spite of using pavers of various sizes and purposes, but also in replacing irrigation lines with far better than what had existed before for all lines impacted by digging, to adding drainage where none had existed, all to ensure that the pavers always remained solid. Their commitment to quality and to employing wonderful craftsmen that care so deeply about the final result made the price completely worth every dime. The incredible efficiency of each person at every step of the way, even during difficult, short, and wet December days, is why their price is among the most competitive. Their very fine workmanship is why no paver project should be considered without contacting them. This is one of the best organized and most capable businesses that I've ever dealt with in 35 years of improving multiple properties! And what trustworthy and wonderful individuals to work with to top it all off! Thank-you, Mr. Pavers, and each individual working on a difficult paving project, for making it come out so much better than we expected, and with such efficiency and focus and care!

Mr Pavers were great until we had a an issue....a big issue!…read moreMr Pavers did a great job on front walkways in October of 2021 and we had no big issues. Now time to redo our pool deck and back patio, we went back to Mr Pavers for the job using the same BELGARD pavers. We agreed to a few suggestions that added to our job including; using pavers for a walkway that we were originally not going to do (note-walkway has a big tree above it); upgrading a drain cover to match the pavers, etc. Glaystone, Owner of Mr Pavers, noticed the salesman had failed to see a drain and he needed to add $300 to our already signed contract for that. We did not object and accepted the additional charge without complaining. We had a whole lot of pavers left from our front walkway project that we have stored on the side of our house. We asked John (the salesman) if we could save a few $ and use them for the backyard. He said no because the color would no longer match and more importantly, as a result we would need to treat those pavers with a sealer every 1-2 years going forward and he said " no one wants that expense!!! " He said we could just get rid of those pavers or use them in a place that we wouldn't care if they didn't match. We got off to a bumpy start with minor issues for example-the salesman John told us they could easily get the forklift by our pool equipment on the side of the house to get to the back. Well-not even close-and we needed to have our equipment moved. Glaystone told us John had simply measured wrong. We loved our new pavers when they were done until 5 DAYS later. After a windy night my husband went out early the next morning to clean up the leaves that fell. That's when we discovered the patio and pool deck were heavily stained. So we sent a video to Glaystone and asked that he call us. First, he said the stains must have come from our barbecue. After telling him we have not used it, he said he was out of town and we agreed to contact him when he got back. Glaystone surprised us (back from vacation early?) and showed up to look at the damage and immediately said he wasn't responsible because he can't control nature. The leaves from our trees had caused the stains. He told us the pavers were perfect when he finished the project 5 days earlier and he was done. We were stunned to say the least. Our basic expectation was that he had surely experienced this before and would help with the solution since it had only been 5 DAYS! But instead Glaystone said it was our choice not to seal the pavers because we were so "budget conscious"! But there had been no suggestion that we seal the pavers ever and in the years we have had the same trees and pavers in our front yard we had not one single stain. So we were "budget conscious" because we didn't want to cover half of our backyard with pavers as he kept pushing us to do? If he had EVER brought up the fact that having a lot of trees in our yard could cause a problem with stains we would have either chosen a different product or treated it. In regards to us being "budget conscious "....Was a 20k job too small for him (which was our 2nd project using him)? So we said at the very least, who do you use for an issue like this and he called his "friend". His friend arrived less than an hour later and gave us a quote of $1600 to clean our pavers and then $1100 to seal them, so $2700 total. If we go forward with this it would now need to be repeated every 2-3 years. There is absolutely no guarantee that the stains will be removed! Has BELGARD done something to change their pavers? Did Mr Pavers do something different? But the bottom line is after the completion of the second major project with Mr Pavers we expected better from them. Our expectation was that with damage to the pavers after 5 DAYS they would have them cleaned and the stains removed. See pictures attached.

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.

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

After deciding to remove our pool, we hired Aaron as the installer for our new landscape project, and we are so glad we did. For months, work was moving forward almost every day, from demolition prep and grading to hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, fencing, pergola installation, pebble work, and the finishing touches. The quality of the work was excellent throughout. The paver patio, carport, and front entry all turned out beautifully, and the plants, irrigation, and lighting were installed with great care. We were especially impressed by the rock and pebble work, particularly the dry creek and front mow strip. The mix of stone sizes gave everything a natural, detailed, and polished look that really elevated the final result. Aaron also has a strong eye for detail. He regularly caught things that needed adjustment, even when we had not noticed them ourselves, and he stayed focused on getting everything right. While there were some issues that delayed finishing the project, Aaron took responsibility and worked with us to make them right, which we truly appreciated. In the end, what matters most is that we are thrilled with the outcome. Our yard feels beautiful, welcoming, and complete, and we look forward to years of enjoying it.

The partnerships were well integrated and it felt like working with a single team. See my Google Maps review for more on YPG. We are very happy with our project and would recommend LEI because they were professional, courteous, reliable, and provided clear and upfront pricing. Documenting decisions in writing proved helpful for keeping everyone on the same page. Any problems we had were resolved fairly, such as correcting the direction of our stairs. Aaron is a man of his word but prefers to conduct most of his business through texting. We first contacted LEI and they promptly scheduled a time to visit our property with YPG to see what was possible within the budget we set out. We completed the design with YPG and LEI scheduled a time for the project demolition. A later approximate time for planting was set, but that was dependent on the availability of the various plants we had selected. Everything scoped in the design was completed within the budget and any add-ons we later requested were priced separately and fairly.
