    If I could give Albert and his team at Rainwater Systems 10 stars, I would. We have a raised foundation home, and after all the heavy rain that we've been receiving in San Diego for the past few years, we needed a long term solution for the groundwater that was pooling under our house following each rain. His team installed a French drain around the back and side of our house, a transfer drain system, a huge sump pump, and two fans to help with the humidity and ventilation underneath the house. As with all house projects, one thing led to another and we ended up having related projects completed alongside/immediately after Albert's work. (Weeps screed + stucco, pavers to replace demo'd concrete, some roof/gutter work, landscaping, etc.) Needless to say, I had about 30 different contractors at our house for quotes + actual work, and I have to say that Albert and his team were our favorites. Albert is a straight shooter, honest and transparent, fair and fun to chat with. His team was hardworking, pleasant and honestly nice to have around everyday, and most importantly, they did excellent work! MANY of the other contractors we had over complimented their work, and one even knew Albert by name and said he is the only guy in San Diego who knows how to install French drains correctly. Highly highly recommend Albert and SD Rainwater Systems!

    Albert and his team are the real deal. During the initial consultation Albert listened carefully and made suggestions for each concern as I brought them up. He then proceeded to enter it all into an online quoting system, sending me a a detailed quote via email in a matter or minutes. I accepted the proposal and he was able to start the job the following week, on a Monday. During the weekend I received an automated reminder email confirming the start time. Albert supervised the job from the start, which was anticipated to take most of the week. They have a system and they have it down! His crew has 2 laborers, an electrician, and a general helper who is constantly cleaning up, making the dump runs, etc. At the end of each day they always checked in with me to update me on the progress. Our job included two separate sump pump systems - with dual pumps in each, a garage channel drain, French drains on both sides of the house (done the right way, fiber cloth socks on every pipe, holes facing down, ditch filled with gravel), cleanouts throughout, new seamless rain gutters/downspouts, a crawlspace ventilation system controlled by smart plugs, and a new rain barrel. They finished both drainage systems in 3.5 days, wrapping up the rain barrel and ventilation system on Saturday. I'm blown away and can confirm these reviews aren't fake. Thank you Albert and crew!

We met with four different companies and received quotes from each, but we either weren't confident in their work or just didn't feel they were the right fit until we met with JG Lawns. Craig came out to provide a free estimate and was brutally honest LOL. He never tried to oversell us or promise things that weren't realistic.  His personality and knowledge earned our trust, and combined with fair pricing, made our final decision to move forward with this company. Our project was originally expected to take about a week, but due to issues with choosing pavements and the paving company shipping the wrong materials, it ended up taking about a month. Even with the unexpected delay, Eric and Jesus (his dad) were fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained any changes, and always made sure we were comfortable with the plan before moving forward. Their crew worked incredibly hard every single day. They treated our home with respect, paid attention to every detail, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their pride in their work definitely shows in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this company to anybody seeking turf and redo their yard. We are so glad we chose them.

I texted again requesting an estimate, no response. Texted again the next day on Wednesday and they finally requested my information. I sent my info, received an email to sign an estimate agreement and after signing and sending it right back I received no response. I texted back that we would be going with a different service who was able to schedule us in. I'm usually really patient but the lack of communication is what bothered me. They were quick to reach back out after sending initial photos but after I opted for a one time service instead of reoccurring services is when I stopped hearing back so quickly. No shade at all if a business doesn't want to offer their services or prefers bigger projects but I would have appreciated better transparency and communication. I'm sure others have had more positive experiences but for me personally I wouldn't recommend this business. I believe in treating every customer with the same respect and willingness to communicate regardless of project size.

I'm not sure who the guys were that did the counter build, I think it was someone and his two adult kids, but they did an incredible job and it seemed like they took the time to do quality work. The rest of the project ran into some difficulty with the electrical hookup and gas move, but Jose still got the work done on time and worked well with our countertop fabricator to coordinate what they needed and when to install Overall went really well and would recommend them for any sort of hardscape project.
