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.

Mr. Pavers is a family business in the finest sense. From starting to work with designer/estimator…read moreKevin Kenny, who listened and examined site conditions very carefully and then fleshed out options that fit our needs very closely, to then meeting with Nelson, who added wonderful ideas without increasing costs, to then finalizing a contract which they followed with great integrity, to meeting with Glayston at the start of the job, who added still more incredible improvements with great care and efficiency, to then working with the demolition crew who carefully scheduled numerous large trucks unloading large volumes of materials in a highly coordinated fashion at very close to the time each particular material was actually needed, and never requiring large piles of rock, for example; I was astounded at how professional their organization and the very great care that was extended to keep the area as free of debris as possible, and to thereby avoid difficulties with neighbors; in spite of all of the heavy equipment that was also unloaded, used and reloaded, all with such smooth coordination. 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.
