I am writing this review on behalf of Little Apples Learning Center.  We hired Ricardo and his team to install turf and make improvements to our playground. From the beginning, Ricardo was very professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with.He was always quick to answer questions and willing to work with us as our needs evolved during the project. Like many construction projects, there were a few hiccups along the way and the timeline ended up being longer than originally planned. Some adjustments and corrections were needed during the process. However, Ricardo remained very responsive and willing to come back, discuss solutions, and work through the issues with us. What I appreciated most was his willingness to brainstorm creative solutions to meet our needs while still being mindful of budget. That flexibility and commitment to making things right made a big difference. In the end, we appreciate Ricardo's professionalism and his efforts to help us create a safer and improved playground space for our students. read more

I recently hired Precision Paving for a large landscape project involving a new driveway, pavers, and stucco work. Overall, I am happy with the quality of the service. The Pros: Quality & Design: The final result of the pavers looks great. I really appreciated their suggestion to match the family room stairs to the paver style--it looks much more cohesive now. Expertise: They identified a water drainage issue near my garage side door and provided a proper solution to fix it. Hardworking Crew: The workers were very diligent and worked quickly once they were on-site. Commitment to Deadlines: Even though there were some planning issues, the team actually worked through the weekend to catch up so they didn't delay my other projects. The Cons: Project Planning: The work did not start according to the originally planned timeline. While they made an effort to catch up, the initial scheduling was a bit off. Post-Project Cleanup: After the job was done, some leftover stucco and pavers were left in my front yard. I had to call them back to pick the materials up later. Summary: They are a hardworking team that cares about the final product and customer satisfaction. I would recommend them. read more

We hired Precision Paving for a backyard remodel project last September, which included installing pavers, artificial turf, and a retaining wall. Overall, I am very happy with the quality of their work. Pros: Expertise: They recommended installing a drainage system beneath the pavers. After several heavy rains, it's clear that the drainage system works well. Their recommendation proved to be very valuable. Hardworking Crew: The workers were diligent and put in strong effort whenever they were on-site. Management: Ricardo was responsive and made an effort to address questions and concerns throughout the project. Cons: Project Planning: The project timeline was extended by several days beyond the original plan. While the delay was not excessive, the schedule did run longer than initially expected. Summary: Precision Paving is a hardworking team that cares about the final product and customer satisfaction. Despite a delay in the timeline, I would recommend them for backyard remodeling projects. read more

We used precision paving for some hard scape improvements, including building a pickleball court as well as rebuilding some old stairs. Project proceeded smoothly, there were some delays towards the end due to additional work added, and supplies took some time to arrive. This is understandable if you have been through any major projects as you will know that timelines never go exactly as you expected. Ricardo was on top of it with good communications and worked with us till completion. We are very satisfied with the work done and would recommend precision pavings. read more

We had a great experience working with Ricardo and his team on our yard project. He was consistently polite, reasonable, and offered very competitive pricing. The quality of his work on our new pavers and artificial turf is excellent. Ricardo was incredibly flexible, giving me the room to detail exactly how I wanted the area designed, while sharing great suggestions of his own along the way. His dad even helped out with the dump runs and was a joy to chat with. Overall, we're thrilled with the results and finally have a beautifully spacious yard for our children to enjoy. read more

Responsive and professional. They did a great job on our pavers and we are pleased with the overall outcome.

Precision Paving was so great to work with from start to finish! Originally we were just going to do the Backyard but we ended up being so happy with their work that we added the front driveway and retaining wall as well. Ricardo was very clear at communicating and making our Vision come to life. Daniel and all the workers worked hard everyday and were great at getting our input along the way and giving their expert advice on the project. Overall we are extremely pleased with our yard we have a dog run and plenty of space for the kids to play and Adults to lounge. Thank you Precision Paving we will be recommending to all Family and Friends. :) Your Grateful Customer, Jessica Langridge read more

Precision Paving did a great job for our house landscaping project including concrete, pavers, exterior tiles, deck, and sod. They are very detail oriented and responsive. In a big project like this, the requirements could change in the middle, and Precision Paving was willing to adapt to our new requirements. They even agreed to make some additional changes to adapt to our needs with no additional charge. After the project, an area of sod were a bit yellow, they stopped by later and re-patched the area for free. I would recommend Precision Paving if you are remodeling your front/back yard into a clean and modern one. read more

I hired Precision Paving to do my backyard remodeling. A few good things to mention about this business. Ricardo offers reasonable price, good communication with English and accomodating on small requests coming together with the large project. His father is also friendly and accomodating and help supervise the progress of the projects. This place is getting busier, which means that they are popular and competitive. On the other hand, it's important to list the scope of the project more clearly in contract or in messages, work with Ricardo more closely along the project to double check the details are as you wanted. Most of the time, if you find what you don't like early, Ricardo will accomodate it well. But if it's not specified or reminded, things might be overlooked and different crew members might come and work with their own schedule/priority/understanding. Overall, I see some of the minor caveats happen in most places when a business grew from one project at a time to multiple team members with concurrent projects. With Ricardo still being reasonable and trying to keep his business in good reputation, I would still recommend this place. I will start to see how their work in my backyard lasts now. read more

These guys are doing a job for my across-the-street neighbor right now. I can see as the crew works hard and diligently on his property this week. I leave a review here for Precision Paving today because I wanted to share what I witnessed on my camera system today. A person from the crew that I assume may be the owner or foreman, saw that today's strong winds were blowing my empty garbage, compost and recycling bins all over the darn place. He decided, out of the kindness of his heart, to walk over and lay them all down, lined up neatly onto my lawn so they wouldn't end up a mile down the street in someone's pool. He didn't have to do this. He didn't know me. He's *just* a good human being. I thanked him when I saw what he had done and I truly appreciate it. It's a small thing and something he had zero obligation to even think about, but he showed he has great character. And that character likely is reflected in this company's work. Because of this, I now have a company to highly consider when I have my 8 year old pavers and driveway re-done. I mean, look at their photos here on Yelp; their work is gorgeous. Thanks guys! I'll reach out when the need arises. read more

We had a good experience with Precision Paving. We changed our landscape from grass and mulch to artificial turf and stones. Ricardo suggested different options and we went ahead with what he recommended for the most part and we are happy for it. The quality of the work is really good. The yard looks clean and professionally done, with great attention to detail. They were knowledgeable and efficient. Pricing was fair for the quality delivered, and the results exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work. read more

Ricardo and his team at Precision Paving worked on transforming my backyard from a barren field of dead grass to a beautiful Japanese-style garden. The work included adding a concrete patio topped with ceramic tile, a second, smaller flagstone patio with walkway, a large dry creek, two redwood fences, planting over 20 trees and shrubs, an irrigation system, and low voltage lighting. Overall, we were very happy with the work. I was particularly impressed with Riccardo's flexibility (when plans changed midway through the project) and his willingness to work through issues that are bound to come up with a project of this size. I found Ricardo to be very likable and a good communicator. I can recommend him highly and would work with him again on future hardscaping projects. read more

RUN *Updated, again* RIP our ~40k backyard remodel project 划到下面有中文版本哦希望可以帮到你 ======== 2nd update Please stay away from this business if all family members have a 9-5 job. They would ask to enter your home to perform tasks randomly on a Tuesday morning, expecting someone to be able to host them. After I mentioned that the fastest I can make it home is 5-6p, they said they would wait for me. I did a lot of meeting rescheduling just to make it back on time, and only to be told that they have left and want to come back tomorrow morning - which I also have work (bc I moved work to tomorrow to accommodate them) and have to get to the office early i don't think they understand other people have their own business going on. And keep in mind this is only one of the miscommunication examples that just happened today, there are so many other ones I could rant about. But I'll stop it here. They are more suitable if you have a lot of time, don't care about project delays, and/or usually WFH. ======== 1st update below So the wildest part is, after they saw my bad review, they privately messaged me asking if they could pay me to delete it. They promised everything would be done by Saturday (except the path, which they said would be Monday). I was thinking, "Okay, great," because I planned to spend Sunday cleaning the yard and finally moving all this outdoor furniture that's been piled up inside my house thanks to their bad timeline. Of course, Saturday evening rolls around, and what's actually done? Basically nothing. The grass isn't finished, the pavers aren't done, the lights aren't even connected. It's 5 PM, and I've heard nothing from them. Complete silence. No one proactively told me it was delayed, why it was delayed, or what the new timeline was. I had to be the one to reach out and ask what was going on. Only then did they tell me the new completion date was Monday. Well, guess what? Today is Monday. And now they're saying it'll be Tuesday. For God's sake, I haven't changed a single requirement this entire week, and they're still trying to find ways to blame someone else. I'm just so exhausted by this. Oh, and the story with the pathway is just ridiculous. You want to know why it's delayed? I went to the exact store the contractor recommended and bought the materials two full weeks in advance. It turns out, he didn't realize that store is closed on weekends, so he couldn't even pick up the materials on Saturday to do the work. And the best part? He only realized this because I was the one who reminded him. You just have to laugh. I literally had to take a day off work to go to his specified store, and he doesn't even know their hours? Seriously, who is actually managing this project? As someone who also has a normal, demanding job (牛马), this is just too much stress. I'm so tired of it. 0/10, would not recommend. 然后最搞笑的一点是他看见我的差评开始私下问我能不能给我钱删评论，并保证周六除了步道全部完工，步道周一完工。我想着好吧，如果周六大部分完工，我周日可以打扫一下后院然后把因为他们错误估计 timeline 在家里堆积如山的室外家具搬出去，那也不错。 不过到了周六下班的时间还是什么都没做好，草没有铺完，paver 没有铺完，灯没连上电等等等。我等到五点，依然没有人主动告诉我项目被 delay 了，为什么 delay，新的时间是什么时候。我主动去去问，才被告知最新的完工时间是下周一。哦对了，今天就是周一，现在又说要周二了。for gods sake 我这一个礼拜根本没有改过任何 requirement 他们还能甩锅.........真的有够心累的。 还有一点很离谱，步道怎么会不能按时完工呢？因为我去了他推荐的店买了步道的材料（提前了整整两周买好），那家店周末不开，他才发现周六没法完工了。还是我提醒他之后发现的我真的笑死。我特意工作日请假去他指定的这家店买，结果他自己不知道啥时候可以取货还要我提醒哈哈哈哈哈到底谁在上他们的班。 作为一个自己平时需要上班的牛马真的太累了，不推荐你们来。中国人不骗中国人 orz ==== end of update ==== Literally the worst experience, 0/10 would not recommend unless you want to be gaslit into an early grave. The project management is a joke--my timeline was basically ghosted. A three-week project has now dragged on for six, and I'm the one who has to chase them down for updates, only to be told it's delayed. Again. Their aesthetic is not the vibe, and they'll just randomly install stuff based on their own questionable taste. The 3D rendering was low-key useless, no detail, so I had to spell everything out with texts and screenshots. Honestly, I'm so done. 超级无敌心累的体验，想装修被气死就选这家。无力吐槽。项目管理 timeline 管理都约等于没有。本来三周的项目延期再延期，到现在六周都没做完。更离谱的是居然每次都是我发现来不及去问三百次才告诉我要延期。审美不行，还会根据他们自己的理解乱装。3d 渲染图不包含任何细节到最后还得自己一点点靠文字/截图沟通效率极低。 read more

Got my front yard pavers done by precision paving. The quality of the paver work was great and the cost was also very competitive. In addition, throughout the project, Ricardo was very flexible. We had to pause the work for a month or 2 due to some unrelated reason, and Ricardo never made any fuss about it. Overall, a great value for money. read more

I hired Precision Paving to put a 30' x 10' concrete slab in my backyard. It involved removing a tree and moving some sprinklers around to accommodate the slab. There was a minor miscommunication regarding the tree removal. We had agreed up front that the stump would be ground, but they were planning to leave the stump after removing the tree. I pointed this out and Precision Paving was very responsive and they were able to get a stump grinder out very quickly, although I did pay a small extra cost. Other than this one issue, the work they did was great--the slab turned out very well: it is quite flat and the dimensions and placement are spot on what I specified. We communicated mostly via text and I was very happy with their responsiveness. I would definitely recommend Precision Paving for a future concrete job. read more

I highly recommend Ricardo and his crew. They did an amazing job on our driveway. They demoed the old driveway and put in a new one. They were very thoughtful about every detail including drainage. Our neighbor was so impressed they asked for a referral. Ricardo was proactive in communication and even sent his crew back to fix some pavers for us. Good quality and competitive price! Hire them. read more

Ricardo was very responsive and quoted me a very reasonable price. His team was able to complete artifical turf installed done within days.

I had this company install pavers for me around last November, and the quality was really mediocre. Parts of my driveway have already started sinking, and some areas have even begun growing weeds. The people who installed the pavers were random workers hired by a subcontractor. I paid him the labor cost on time and some workers came to my house to harass me for payment, threatening to put a lien on my property. do not recommend read more

I hired this company to build my driveway, but it was not a good experience. Their in-house demo team seemed OK, but when it came to the actual paver installation, they outsourced the work to other workers-- maybe just random contractors. The workmanship was unprofessional, and many important steps were skipped. Most of the time, I would only see one or two workers working for 1-2 hours a day. When I followed up with messages, they would verbally promise to fix issues, but nothing was actually resolved. The project was supposed to take two weeks, but it ended up taking almost five. They never cleaned up dust or debris, and several of my neighbors complained to me about it. During construction, they made a huge mess around my property. The cost wasn't cheap either, but the quality and professionalism were very disappointing. read more

Ricardo to the rescue! My previous contractor left the yard unfinished and we have pavers stacked on my driveway. Ricardo was very responsive and came to my place on short notice and quoted me a very reasonable price. Due to the weather, we have a very tight window and the team managed to start the work even on Superbowl Sunday! The team was very professional about everything: paver patterns/grading/drainage you name it, and finished the job very quickly. In the end, they cleaned everything even some trash my previous contractor left. I will strongly recommend this team. Thank you! read more

We recently contracted Precision Paving for a backyard and driveway remodeling project. We are overall happy with the result, and are delighted to share our experience. We have a swimming pool, a wood deck and a lawn in the backyard. They are all kind of old. We want to have a new patio, new pool copping and synthetic turf. We also want a new driveway. We sent out a request for quote on Yelp. Precision Paving responded. Ricardo, who is the owner, came look at the property. He also showed us his work recently finished nearby. That turns out to be very helpful. The quote came the next day and after a couple rounds of negotiation we decided to go ahead. The best part we like about his proposal is that it is straight forward in simple terms that gave us great certainty. The contract is to install paver for driveway, patio, pool sides, and to put artificial turf for the lawn. It is an all-inclusive contract. The work started the next week on Oct 4th and finished Nov 4th. It is a little longer than planned but not bad for project of this size - we anticipated delay. We are generally happy with how the work is done. During the demolition phase debris are removed and hauled away quickly. Pavers are laid very nicely even though there are some touch shapes in our yard that require nontrivial cutting of the paver. The pool copping and turf are all done reasonably well, though not as super as the paver. There were unplanned changes, glitches and moments of disagreements, but all were resolved in a friendly manner. There is one more thing that worth mentioning. Regular sand was initially used to fill the joint of pavers in the backyard. But we find out that there is a lot of lose sand around especially after rain. This is not good for a backyard. It is a mistake to agree to use regular sand in the first place. We raised the issue, and Precision paving agreed to send in a crew to fix the issue with us just paying for the polymeric sand. It is yet another happy ending! read more

I had contacted Precision Pavers to redo our backyard and the part of the front yard. Ricardo was very responsive to our queries and was able to provide estimates in a timely manner. His crew led by Edward is very experienced and very quick in completing their work. They were able to provide solutions to a few complications that came up during the work and are able to complete the whole project on the schedule. I will strongly recommend this team for anyone looking for any yard scaping activities. read more

Ricardo and his crew were prompt from start to finish and even though the my backyard project lasted a few days longer than estimated than due to sod delivery , Ricardo made should to keep me updated. His crew was friendly and professional, and really too pride in their work. They helped me demolish a large water feature, regrade the area, place sod and redid the irrigation for a super competitive price! Highly recommend. read more

I had my backyard renovated and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Ricardo and his team that worked on my project did an incredible job transforming my dull, outdated outdoor space into a beautiful, functional area that we now love spending time in. The first thing that impressed me was the level of communication and collaboration. In the initial visits Ricardo took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns and worked with me. He was always responsive and available over texts and helping me navigate the project before and through the project. The renovation work included the demolition, installation of new pavers, artificial turf and have some minimal side design with edgers. As the project was progressing Ricardo and his team were also coming up with ideas that can better suit the space and were always flexible with runtime adjustments. I appreciate the fact that the team took the time to ensure everything was installed correctly and to my satisfaction and also reviewed it post work when I had some concerns . Overall, I couldn't be happier with the results of my backyard renovation. The team exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them. read more

Highly recommended. Helped with leveling my cardboard composted lawn. Would definitely use them again.

I found Ricardo here on Yelp. He was very professional and quick to respond. He agreed to meet on site to discuss the project in more details and provided a detailed quote after with a really great price! Main thing that needed to be done at the moment is concrete stairs in the backyard: going from the house in L shape. I'm really pleased with the work and how responsive, polite and nice Ricardo was. And he was fine with providing progress pictures during the construction time. I'd definitely be contacting Ricardo again for any more work in the backyard of our clients! read more

Ricardo was very responsive to my project needs and was able to recommend various paver designs, get the material, and complete the backyard paver project on time. His quote was reasonable and he was able to start the work within 2 days. He completed the work quickly with his team working almost everyday all day long. The hexagon pavers, the lights, and the backyard look great and have had no issues. They did the sloping well for the water to drain properly. Highly recommend this company. read more

They missed the scheduled appointments on two separate occasions without providing any advance notice or explanation beforehand.

Ricardo was really great to work with. He was very responsive, respectful and kind. In addition, his team was very professional and hard working! read more

Precision Paving - Finished job. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - East Palo Alto, California

We recently hired Ricardo for putting pavers in our backyard and sideyard. We got his number from a neighborhood friend who also did pavers in his backyard. Of course we got many quotes and Ricardo's quote was one of the lowest which was an important factor with today's high inflation. Work wise also Ricardo and his team has been very accommodating to our needs. Our house is located very near to the foot hills and therefore there is different in the ground level from one side to another. Needless to say that there was a lot of digging required (much more than 8" that is the recommended minimum for doing patio pavers). Another is putting at least 4" of base rock for a stable base for the pavers. This is where most contractors would try to cut corners but not Ricardo or his team. As part of the laying down pavers, Ricardo and his team also put the necessary drainage work. This was included in his overall cost of per-sqft pavers installation. Of course I bore the cost of material but still his team continuously accomodated my little adjustments here and there. Ricardo's team also was very resourceful and saved all my existing mulch and put it over the loose soil in a different section to help prevent any future weed. My work is still not finished but its very close to. Here are few pics of the work being done at my place. read more

Thank you, Ricardo, for being attentive to the driveway project needs as required. This is the second job we hired Precision Paving for, and they will be our first choice on our next project we have coming up. Thank you guys! read more

We did a pretty big landscaping project on both the front, side and backyard. This included major changes that included removing trees, moving trees, changing structure around our pool as well as the regular stone/paver installation. Overall, Ricardo and his team did a good job with a good price. The project got delayed a bit due to lack of raw materials but besides that we didn't have any issues. The work only got done recently so we can't comment on the quality front. read more

Precision Paving did a 5-star job installing pavers for my driveway and front yard! I had a concrete slab driveway which has cracks everywhere so I decided to replace it with pavers to make the property look nicer and more appealing. I requested a quote from Precision Paving and the owner Luis & Ricardo responded and offered for an in-person consultation in a timely manner. They listened carefully to my request and provided me with a detailed work plan. After consulting with multiple paver companies, I finally decided to work with Luis & Ricardo, not only because the price estimate is very reasonable, but also that I found they are very easy to communicate with and have shown a sincere attitude and professionalism. The project involves ~1,000 sqft of concrete slab / grass removal, hauling, laying out base rock and paver installation. Their workers are very efficient and finished the entire project within one and a half week. Throughout the project, whenever I have additional requests or concerns, Ricardo and his team always respected my idea and resolved all the issues to make the outcome perfect. They also fixed my irrigation system for free! I would highly recommend Precision Paving for anyone who needs high-quality hardscape work! read more
