e are quite delighted with the pervious paver project that Ronnie of North County Pavers and his fine team just completed for us in both our front and back yards. Ronnie came for a site visit prior to the start of the project and looked over the plans our landscape designer had prepared (Note: North County Pavers is able and usually does paver project design too). With preliminary info on paver choice, he was able to give us a bid that day and let us know when our likely start date would be, based on other projects ahead of us. He explained their policy was once a project was started, they work exclusively on it until completion, barring only weather delays. That is just what they did. First, Ronnie met us at a business with a large selection of pavers, saying it was important to see the materials in person rather than just choosing from a brochure or photo on the web. We're glad we listened to his advice and ended up with a different product than we'd originally favored. Ronnie and his project managers also offered suggestions along the way to refine and improve our plan, though there was never any pressure. We'd originally decided on a complex pattern and 2 colors for contrast. Ronnie suggested that for our site and the size of our paved areas, our choice of pattern might be too busy, with a simpler design being better, while retaining the 2 colors. After reflection, we agreed and are glad we did. Another good suggestion was rather than simply use pavers on either side of our old cement entrance walkway, to take out the cement and do the entrance pathway all in pavers while eliminating a small, non-code step and creating a smooth path to the front door stoop. Again- great advice. Our entrance way is so much nicer to use and so much more attractive, not to mention it is now accessible for folks with walking issues. The crew worked long, hard days and the workmanship was thoughtful, careful and skillful. The various paved areas on our plan had numerous curves, which take special attention to execute with minimal cuts but in the right places, for a nicely finished appearance. The superb craftsmanship on our tightly curved and pointed planter beds (yin-yang shaped) and the paths surrounding them was especially challenging and noteworthy.The shapes had been so easy to draw on paper, but were another matter to implement. The result is a thing of beauty. We love our entire paver project and are so very glad we had North County Pavers craft it for us. We highly recommend them. read more

What a delightful experience with an amazing result! Working with North County Pavers has been an "A Class" experience from beginning to end. Our first meeting with Ronnie was extremely informative, well organized, with product to see and photos of completed projects. He added quick drawings to better illustrate a plan that further enhanced our dream. He walked our Solana Beach property with us for a few hours. This is a 5K square foot project. We thought we knew what we wanted, but Ronnie's professional experience, command of the art and technique of pavers, great ideas, stellar communication led us into an affordable and attainable plan that seemed almost to be a fantasy. It was love at first sight with this Magic Man! From our perspective, everything fell together effortlessly. But we know he and his crew worked hard, solved hidden issues, created quick yet perfect solutions to an array of surprise problems. They discovered and repaired several unexpected broken waterlines, identified damaged gas lines, reworked our drainage to be more effective, repaired irrigation lines and added additional lines for future irrigation. All gutter downspouts drain underground now, a great idea introduced by Ronnie. Mid-project, the crew identified smart improvements they anticipated we would support and adaptively built the project in advance to seamlessly accept the changes if we agreed. We added an outdoor shower into the plan and Pompeyo with his crew altered the location and built the addition of a beautiful retainer wall bench to provide comfort for users and better control water spray and drainage. It is stellar! Ronnie and his wife Fawn brought their talents and experience together and upstarted this paver company 15 years ago. They still have the same crew working for them that they started with. It is a happy and well adjusted family, donned daily with smiles, kindness and a flexible attitude. They are focused, efficient, meticulous and quick. We cannot be more pleased and are eager to expand pavers into additional areas. We highly recommend North County Pavers for any paving project, large or small, that you may be dreaming of. Brush away your worries and concerns; this contractor and dedicated crew deliver guaranteed happiness! read more

Earlier this year I was looking into getting some pavers and artificial grass put in my backyard because I was so tired of dealing with the maintenance required to upkeep a yard. I came across North County Pavers online and decided to give them a call because of the fantastic reviews they got online and I'm so happy I did. Ronnie ended up coming to my house a few days later to provide an estimate for my yard. I really didn't know what I wanted and he was able to suggest some ideas for me on the potential layout. When it came to pricing, he provided me with a great price so I decided to go with North County Pavers. We ended up scheduling the project for the week of June 7-11. Ronnie's team moves so quick that they actually finished the job a day ahead of schedule. It was amazing to see how fast and efficient his team works as within the first day they cleared out my yard which was no easy task. It was a significant amount of work that needed to get done before they could start laying down the pavers which included removing sprinklers, stepping stones, a small concrete patio and adding a drainage system. This was all removed in the first day which is a testament to the workethic of Ronnie's team. His team acted swiftly and kept the momentum throughout the rest of the week. At the end of the week, they left my yard spotless and you would have never guessed anyone was working there the entire week. When I came home Friday afternoon to the final product...I was blown away by the finish. Words can't describe the transformation that North County Pavers did to my yard. I had one of those "move that bus" moment when I saw what they were able to do. My yard now looks so much more spacious and it turned out much better than what I could have envisioned. They even made a custom paver for my dog Boomer that they placed right next to the artificial grass. If you are looking at getting pavers/artificial grass put in your yard...do yourself a favor and call North County Pavers!!!! I assure you that you will be happy that you did!!! From start to finish of the project....you will be happy you did and you will have that "move that bus" moment just like I did. read more

North County Pavers was recommended to us by our daughter and son-in-law who were very pleased with the work they had previously done for them. We had a general idea of what type of pavers we wanted for our front yard that included the driveway, entry walkway and steps. When we first met with Ronnie, he listened to our ideas and came up with a design on the spot that included a detailed layout of paver areas, planters, the shape of the stairs and color recommendations for the pavers. At that point, we knew we had the right guys and decided to upgrade our backyard patio, as well. As work got underway, we found Ronnie and his team, led by Pompeyo, to be an exceptionally talented and hardworking crew. I was in construction for years and I saw how they made the extra effort to do things the right way rather than take short cuts. I was happy to see how Pompeyo fine-tuned the details of the layout with an eye toward alignment with existing structures and an attention to detail and craftsmanship. We appreciate how he engaged us along the way at key decision points; his feedback, experience and expertise were so valuable in helping us envision how it would look. As with any project, there were unexpected challenges along the way, but the NCP team dealt with them easily. We had issues with tree roots and they installed root barriers. We previously had issues with drainage and they revised the grading and relocated drains to improve water flow. They rerouted and repaired sprinkler pipes, added sleeves under the driveway and walkways to add future sprinkler lines or lighting to each planter. We've had quite a few neighbors comment on our beautiful front yard, especially the steps! As a matter of fact, one of my neighbors loved it so much she has hired them to work on her front yard too. The bottom line is that we were very impressed with their workmanship and we're thrilled with the results! read more

Professional, friendly, and true craftsman! We hired North County Pavers for what is probably a small job to them: two patios totaling about 450 sq ft. I made the size clear to all the companies I reached out to, and several I didn't hear back from, but North County Pavers was quick to respond to my inquiry and didn't balk at the smaller job. Working with them was a breeze! Ronnie came out to quote the project within a few days and talked through everything with us. He answered all of our questions about the process and made us feel completely at ease. My wife wanted a specific style: gray herringbone, and Ronnie was quick to come up with a solution in his paver library to meet her goals. Once work started, it was the smoothest construction project I've ever seen. Ronnie and his foreman Pompeo showed up on time and went through everything with us once again, then Pompeo and his crew got right to work. The crew was friendly and professional (even all had nice long sleeve Tees for a matching uniform, nice touch!), and clearly knew the trade. Pompeo checked in with us several times throughout the process to make sure we were happy with how things were looking and to clarify a few of the intricacies. One issue we were concerned about was the various aspects of construction in our tight space and townhome complex. The crew made every effort to minimize disruptions, keeping the demolition bin, materials, etc. out of the way and cleaning up at the end of each day. No complaints from our neighbors, and one even mentioned to me how professional and courteous they were as neighbors came and went nearby. We are very happy with the finished product, and looking forward to enjoying the summer on our new patios! We will definitely hire North County Pavers again should we move to a new home with a yard in need of upgrades! read more

North County Pavers came highly recommended from a neighbor and they exceeded my already-high expectations at every step of the way. Ronnie came out to my place to scope everything out, take measurements and give a quote. Honest, personable and super easy to deal with, there was zero pressure during the entire meeting and he offered some helpful insights that vastly improved the overall design. I selected the style and color from a stone catalog and right there on the spot, he knocked out a design document with measurements that I could provide to my HOA. His quote - and his overall approach - sealed the deal and I put down a deposit on the spot. When it came time to do the work, a crew showed up to my place early on Monday morning and began the demo. My materials arrived at approximately the same time. They were replacing a two-car driveway and a walkway up to my front door. By Monday afternoon, the demo was entirely done and unbelievably, by Wednesday afternoon, the job was finished, save for the sealing. The sealer turned up on Thursday morning and did his thing - 24 hours later, I was parked in my brand-new driveway. I can't say enough about the high quality of work done. To a man, the entire crew were friendly and they packed a ton of hard work into those three days. A number of neighbors came by to both admire how fantastic the new driveway looks and at how quickly the work was done. Some neighbors have used another paver company and the work took considerably longer (and was more expensive). Most importantly, I love the way it came out. Ronnie came by the day after sealing to do a walk-through, to answer any questions and to remind me that everything is guaranteed. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Quality work done efficiently, professionally and at a competitive price. read more

Ronnie and his team were amazing from start to finish. I needed a variety of paving work done, as well waterproofing of my backdoor area and installation of drainage in my backyard. After having numerous contractors come to give me bids, I called North County Pavers. Ronnie came over and was quickly able to assess the various issues providing insight and knowledge. He proposed a solution and provided us with a fair and reasonable bid. He didn't try to upsell us with unnecessary work to inflate the price as other contractors had done, which was so refreshing. Ronnie stayed involved in the project from beginning to end, even coming by to meet with a representative from my HOA to review the project prior to starting. He also adjusted the price at the end of the project when we only ended up needing two drains instead of three. His team was absolutely wonderful as well. They were polite, professional, hard-working, and skilled. All I can say is that they did an exceptional job. They waterproofed my backdoor threshold and patio area with a triple waterproof barrier, which leaves me feeling confident and safe with the next rainy season. They installed backyard drainage by tunneling under the small retaining wall that I was sure would have to be dismantled. They reset and leveled pavers that had lifted and been displaced, finishing off everything with power washing and sealing the pavers. It looks like a new yard. However, the most impressive piece was the removable manhole cover tray that Pompeyo designed and crafted by hand. He is a true craftsman. You cannot even tell there is a manhole in the yard. All you see is beautiful pavers. I highly recommend Ronnie and his team. North County Pavers will be my first and only choice for all future paving needs! read more

Ronnie at North County Pavers completely remodelled our back and front yards, which included a freestanding Bar / BBQ and the MOST WONDERFUL outdoor fireplace. One of the most appealing things about Ronnie, is that he is quite the visionary, and can draw and verbally explain his vision. Ultimately, his bid was quite favorable but his flexibility and adaptability are what sold us. The job was HUGE, involving a lot of electrical, new Pergolas, plumbing, etc. Ronnie essentially acted as the general for the job, working very well with the host of other contractors. He was very clear communicating with each, without bruising egos. His flexibility allowed for the seamless construction of our project without doing/redoing work (as I have seen in other jobs I have had done for me.) Ronnie recommended adding an outdoor fireplace. We looked at the catalogs and agreed it would be a nice addition. Ronnie bought a standard, midsize fireplace kit. He had some great ideas as to how to customize it. He suggested adding some accent tiles. We worked closely with Ronnie ultimately selecting hand painted Mexican tiles. His crew pre-treated the tiles according to the retailer (no small task) and installed them exactly as planned. HIs other custom touches include firewood boxes, Mantle and a stone chimney. It is absolutely gorgeous. At the final walk through, I was afraid (VERY afraid!!!) of what all the up charges were going to be. Ronnie, as a man of his word told me that his bid was his bid, and that the changes (Including massive customization of the fireplace and BBQ) were included in his price. I could not be happier with the work, work ethic and ingenuity of Ronnie and North Coast Pavers. I most highly recommend him to all who read this!!! read more

I give North County Pavers a 5 + rating! I solicited several bids for my backyard. I wanted a lot more hardscape, less grass, rock planter areas framing the yard, additional drip system, gas line and sprinklers moved. First off, Ronnie is very prompt and a man of great integrity. He came right out and gave me his ideas, design and time frame for the job. His price was competitive. I had 2 other contractors tell me that my lawn would be ruined after they finish the job and I asked Ronnie if that was true. He said no, that his team would have plenty of room to work without ruining the grass. So I hired him. He explained the contract and payment schedule and he was able to start 2 weeks before the agreed start date. When I met him to select my pavers, he already had one in mind. I chose another one but I listened to his expertise on his choice for my yard, and I am so happy I did. I would not have been happy with the one I originally selected. He is a visionary and can be trusted on what looks best for the design. Pompeo, Emo, and their crews were very professional, hard working and respectful of my property. Everything was clean and tidy when they finished the days work. They went beyond the original scope of work, reinforcing both back yard gates and capping off a sprinkler in the front that had nothing to do with the paver job. If you want your job done right, hire North County Pavers! They are the best around! Thank you Ronnie and crew. I love my new backyard! read more

Our friends recommended North County pavers to us and I will be forever grateful that I reached out to them for our backyard project. I did not really know what I wanted as far as design for our small back yard, except that it needed to include a pad/foundation for a shed/home office and a space for a small, single swing for our daughter. At our first meeting, the owner, Ronnie, did an initial assessment of the space, suggested design ideas based on our personal preferences, then sat down and HAND DREW a lovely design that ended up being perfect! Ronnie wrote up an itemized quote right there that was very fair in cost, we signed a contract, and work began ahead of schedule and finished on time Many of the reviews mention the excellent and professional work of site manager Pompeyo and crew...It's all accurate!! They arrived everyday at 7:00 am and worked hard all day. They were respectful and polite. I could not imagine a better or more efficient group of men for the job. Thanks so much! As much as I love the beauty and simplicity of the finished paver project, I have to shout out a HUGE thank you to Pompeyo for building a swing for our daughter as part of this project. This brought so much joy to her and I. He listened to my input, watched the DIY video I gave him and built the most lovely, sturdy single swing imaginable. Suffice it to say, I highly recommend North County Pavers - Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! read more

Ronnie's crew did a fine job on a driveway extension paver project we had last month that was only 300 square feet; so small that three other paver companies I contacted no-bid it. Once the extension was finished, the contract with the existing 20year old pavers that had SIGNIFICANTLY degraded was very obvious. The old drive was buckling from the Jan-Feb rains here in Carlsbad, as well as having sand oozing up between paver bricks in sunken low spots. I asked Ronnie to quote redoing the entire driveway so that it could look as good as the extension his crew had installed. While we were traveling on vacation out of the country, Ronnie's crew took out the old brick, found the original installation was grossly inadequate (with NO road base and less than an inch of screed sand). Ronnie contacted me via text message, showing the lack of road base and poor conditions he found, and I authorized the extra work to dig out the additional 5 inches of earth, install the correct class II road base, screed the sand, and install the pavers level, properly, and beautifully. Ronnie's crew leader Pompeo was friendly, professional, clever and very hard-working as was the entire crew. I cannot recommend North County Pavers more highly, as they're the best for both small and large jobs. You can count on them to do great work for reasonable prices, on a timely schedule. read more

We hired North County Pavers after looking through our neighborhood at all the Paver jobs and finding one we really liked and after reading the excellent reviews which we now know why they were so good! The neighbors with the cool driveway highly recommended Ronnie at North County Pavers. The first meeting was planning the patio we wanted and Ronnie was informative, creative and we knew he knew his stuff well! We ended up having Ronnie make us a beautiful patio but also help us landscape a large area of the yard. The job started sooner than expected, which was great. Ronnies workers were awesome guys! They worked very neatly and methodically. There was a little mix up with the size rock to put down and after having put down a ton of rocks, with the sweetest attitudes they removed the rocks, bought the right size and replaced the larger ones! Ronnie had a great supervisor (I think his name was Lee) who frequently checked in on things too. Either the supervisor or Ronnie were always accessible by phone for any questions or feedback:)) The patio and our yard looked great at the end of the process! After the job was done we had something that needed to be worked on. We contacted Ronnie who then sent a text with a plan on how it will be fixed! We are so grateful! And we would HIGHLY recommend Ronnie at North County Pavers!!! read more

I could not be more pleased with North County Pavers' crew and the patio they built in just 3 days. The patio is approximately 400 sf. Before and after pictures are included. Ronnie took care of everything, was very responsive, even over weekends while we planned for the design and construction. He took care of ordering all the materials and having them delivered. I appreciated his recommendations from a design standpoint as well. Pompeyo (Ronnie's foreman) and his crew are hard workers, respectful, and great craftsmen. The demo was no picnic party (included a large concrete pad and a bunch of tree roots that had grown underneath the existing patio). They also had to rebuild a retaining wall, before starting to lay the foundation layers for the pavers. And the pavers I chose have different sizes, which made their work even more challenging. They stayed past 7pm on the last day to finish the job, which I really appreciated, since it was a Friday. That was a 12-hour day for these guys. Thank you! At the end, Pompeyo walked around with me, pointing out a few important details. And Ronnie came by to inspect the work. All in all, Ronnie and his crew did an amazing job. North County Pavers is a local, family-owned business, which was also an important fact in my selection. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. read more

We recently remodeled our home and our last project was the front yard. Initially, we planned to remove the grass and other plants and replace them with a paved sitting area, some new plants and artificial grass. Then, we were referred to and met Ronnie Hemphill from North County Pavers. Ronnie immediately made us feel comfortable & confident that he had a plan for our yard. He measured our area & produced a drawing which included all of the features that we wanted. But then, Ronnie said "Have you thought about your driveway? Most people ask us to come back and do the driveway, once they see the new yard." We were convinced. I was shocked that 6 workers showed up, all wearing North County Pavers jackets & T-shirts, 10 minutes early on the day the project started. Pompeyo and his crew immediately went to work on removing dead 35 year old grass! The same 6 guys showed up early every day! Each crew member had specific jobs and the operation ran incredibly smoothly; they all appeared to be happy & friendly with each other & seemed to enjoy the work. The job was completed in 8 days. The attached photos show that these men take pride in their work! They did a magnificent job and exceeded our expectations. We HIGHLY Recommend Ronnie, Pompeyo & their team at North County Pavers! read more

We were looking to replace the concrete and flagstone in our driveway, walkway, and a small section in the backyard. After talking with 5 companies we picked North County Pavers because Ronnie had the best design ideas that were based on our wants, the most direct answers to our questions, and honest pricing information. Boy are we glad we did. It started with the design and Ronnie listening to what we wanted and providing alternatives based on his years of experience. Ronnie listened as I told him I wanted the pavers to go under the garage door. They came up with a solution that involved a partial cut of the garage floor. No one else even wanted to address it. The crew led by Pompeo were the hardest working people I've seen in a long time. They each knew what needed to happen and did it. Their workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. They never hesitated to address any item I brought up. Even some that were not their problem. It's obvious they take pride in their work and enjoy what they do. It shows in the finished product. They completed the job in exactly the time they said they would. Their daily and final cleanup were amazing. It's rare to find a company/crew that cares so much about their work. If you pick this company you will not be disappointed! read more

After interviewing many contractors for a variety of projects in the backyard I decided to go with pavers for hardscape. This can be daunting, interviewing a variety of specialists; many arrived late or not at all," just too busy at the last minute", it was refreshing to meet with Ronnie, the owner of North County Pavers. From the first phone call, to the conclusion of the project (less than 2 months) it all came together smoothly. When he offered his ideas after looking at the property and began to draw out the plan, I knew he knew what he was doing and how to execute the plan. His staff was professional, on-time and through in completing their tasks, in the heat. No excuses! After seeing the beginning of the large patio and walk-ways I knew I had to extend the job and add another walkway to complete the look, and they did it, in record time. It's nice to work directly with the owner of any small business, from start to finish, you both create the vison, communicate through the job and they carry it through to fruition, no middle man, she said, he said (which I experienced with turf). Perfectly executed! Everyone who sees the before and after are amazed at the job. Great job NC Pavers. thank you, Lindsey (I live in Poway) read more

Inspired by a project North County Pavers completed recently for a neighbor around the corner, we started working together with Ronnie and his team 2 weeks ago. Today we look at a newly paved driveway, pathways on both sides into our back yard, a pathway to the main entrance, and a new terrace! It was delightful to observe how well the team worked together! Along the way we got great suggestions from team leader Pompeo und now the front yard is stunning. Every neighbor passing by gives us the thumbs up. We are so happy that we can spend time on our new terrace and socialize with our neighbors during the holidays. Excited, we are waiting for 5 o'clock tonight to see the whole scenery lighting up by the newly installed garden lights hoping to get that resort style feeling. It was a pleasure working with this team. They were always on time, friendly, happy at work, and leaving behind a clean site at night. We are impressed and would recommend Ronnie and his team to everyone. Thank you all, happy holidays and we might see you in the future for our backyard transformation! And Ronnie, thanks for the magic stone! Ulrike and Sandro read more

We chose North County Pavers to add a new pad to park our RV on and spruce up the rest of the yard as part of our house remodel. Ronnie, the owner, met with us and made some recommendations in addition to our ideas. He made suggestions that we had not thought of like updating the stairs with pavers and placing cap stones on the block wall to match the pavers. When the outstanding crew came to start the work, they were clean, efficient, and courteous. Pompeyo, the job foreman, and Ronnie walked the job with us and got started right away on the day we had scheduled. Over the next three weeks, they removed the old concrete driveway and walkway, they added an RV pad consisting of a thicker base and pavers, and installed new pavers and trim around the rest of the house to perfectly meet our ideas and needs. Ronnie and Pompeyo continued to stay in contact with us during the project, and to make recommendations as the job went on. The result totally exceeded our expectations! Our new RV pad, driveway, walkway and steps, and patio now have all the neighbors looking and smiling at the beautiful pavers as they pass by. read more

North County Pavers just did an AMAZING job on my driveway and walkway to my courtyard! The pavers are a beautiful Orco color blend that matches my tile roof perfectly. Ronnie suggested a border of a different color (a dark brown a little darker than the brown in the paver mix of colors) for the perimeter. In fact, its a different type of stone so itreally pops and frames the driveway and walkway. The prices were cheaper than the BIG companies that I called. I also like how the guys here for the last week were HAPPY to be doing the work. The guys here on day 1 were here on day 3, some of them also here on day 4 doing the laying of pavers and the cuts for the curves-- so they're knowledgeable about the entire process. The cuts were awesome. One paver butts up next to a green sprinkler cap for a drain in the ground and the paver literally has a half-circle cut into it. I notice this particular paver a lot because its only about 6 feet from my front door, in my courtyard. Pics to come later this week ... thankfully I finally remembered for once to take a BEFORE picture ;) read more
