We installed a french drain behind our retaining wall, driveway paver installation, the crew built and installed stairs in two parts of the yard, stucco work and final planting and mulch of our entire property. Matt, Elisabeth, Jake and Ishmael and the entire working crew were professional, transparent and communicative on every level. Our in-person consultations and design confirmation schedule were very helpful from week to week. The work timeline was on schedule.

As issues came up (permit delays, grumpy neighbor, too tall chair ordered on my part), they helped us navigate it all and offered support even when they didn't need to The subcontractors they used to dig, build a large retaining wall, install turf, build the patio, install the pergola, and lay lots and lots of rocks were wonderful--nice, patient, and hard-working. The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond. He answered every call and text quickly. I couldn't have asked for more. I've already recommended SD3D to all of my neighbors, and recommend them for small or large projects.

I live in La Jolla and Cam and crew came out my area and did an amazing job. Cam brought his…read moreknowledge to refine the design I had in mind and seamlessly incorporated my ideas with his practical approach. Being an older La Jolla home that has been through several updates of different styles over the years, there were multiple mini projects to accomplish. The work they did included extensive vine and root removal, brick work, extending a retaining wall, building a fence, rock-scaping, sod laying, irrigation work, and planting a variety of plants including privacy bushes, small plants, succulents, and a fruit tree. The Bilt by Cam crew did such a nice job and finished quickly.

We hired this company for a custom fence, and while the initial build had some issues the way they…read morehandled the issue completely changed my impression. After I contacted the owner and spoke with Sharon, they took full responsibility and redid the entire fence from the ground up. The new build is exactly what we were hoping for: high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and a beautiful finished product that really elevates our property. Custom work doesn't always go perfectly the first time, but what matters is how a company responds--and they absolutely stood behind their work and made it right. That level of integrity and follow-through is hard to find. I would confidently recommend them based on the final result and their commitment to customer satisfaction.

BIG shout out to Sunny Builders Group!!!They are amaaaazing!!!…read more We had 40+ overgrown "hedges" that became more like small trees over the years and were intertwined with old metal fencing. I've wanted to get a new fence for so long, but I was afraid it would be too expensive since the hedges would have to be removed first. I spent 2 weeks getting quotes from various types of businesses that could get the job done... and then I found Sunny Builders Group! With many areas of expertise, they proved to be a one-stop-shop that did all the things I had received individual quotes for: Remove the hedges, grind the stumps, demo the old fence, haul it all away, install a new vinyl fence, DG pathway... and to my surprise, they could even replace my broken granite countertop ! They took care of all the behind the scenes planning and coordination, and we stayed under budget! What a blessing! My experience with them has been fantastic, starting with my very first call to Rachel, she's so helpful and put my mind at ease! The crew was on time, ahead of schedule, and worked together like a well-oiled machine, so quick and efficient! Sunny is an absolute delight to work with! Throughout the whole process, I always felt like he's had my best interest in mind and wasn't just out to make a buck. He's a fair and honest man, and is very generous in sharing discounts and money-saving tips. Even with so much to juggle, he handled it all with such grace and professionalism, and was excellent at communicating every step of the way! Sunny Builders Group exceeded my expectations...and then some!!! I'll be a customer for life and look forward to working with them again on future projects. Thank you Sunny Builders Group, I am forever grateful!!!

Small yard? No worries, Brookside has your back!…read more If you buy new construction these days you can pretty much kiss that yard space goodbye. Finding ourselves in this situation, we needed a team that could transform our "cozy" yard into a comfortable yet elevated outdoor living space. Enter Brookside. You know that feeling when you hire someone to do a big home project and hope that everything goes well, but you kind of hold your breath in the event that something goes awry? That won't happen with Brookside. From our initial call to the thanks-for-everything completion hand shake, they didn't skip a beat. Everything went SO smooth and communication was on point the entire time. Brookside is a well oiled machine. The conversations between us, Brooks and Jenny, and the crew were fluid the entire time and no one was ever in the dark about the plan. On top of that, everyone was so personable and professional. These guys are hard workers and leave your space clean and organized at the end of every day. We were so happy with how our space turned out. Brookside took our basic ideas for hardscape and softscape to the next level and created a beautiful designer yard. We would hire Brookside again in a heartbeat- and you should too!

Brookside Landscape Design did a phenomenal job. Our backyard went from the typical small, suburban…read morebackyard to a sophisticated and luscious landscape that looks like it belongs as a hotel lounge. Brooks and Jenny at Brookside have such a creative and and beautiful aesthetic that we never could have imagined on our own. Their attention to detail is amazing, and their design concept was truly everything we wanted. Even though we have a small yard, they were able to make it look so much larger by moving things around and creating a better flow. It seriously looks like we added square footage. All of the plants that they chose for our yard are so beautiful and unique. Everyone that comes by wants to know what each plant is called because they aren't the very common yard plants that everyone has...they are so interesting! They chose the foliage specifically for what they knew would grow well in our area and with the sunlight for each side of the house. Thoughtfulness went into every aspect of each item they added...from the plants, to the wood and stone for the built in bbq, the special market lights (that are really unique and fun), all the way to the treated concrete. Everything looks like a step above! The work process was easy, and the crews that showed up every day were gracious, kind, friendly and hard working. Over the weeks we got to know the workers, and it was a sad day when it finished and we knew they would not be showing up again every morning. Even our 5 year old knew their names and would announce to us each day who had shown up in the morning. Jenny and Brooks were also very friendly and kind, and were a joy to work with. Such a great team. I have already been showing off their hard work to our neighbors, who are very impressed with the amazing results! Hopefully they will be in our neighborhood working again soon!

He explained to me that they only provide this service to clients that they have provided turf for. He then went on to refer me to two landscape companies near my home where we could purchase the infill and the broom to do the maintenance ourselves. He willingly spent about ten minutes helping me, and was so friendly and nice. When we are ready to have more landscape work done, I will definitely be calling Install It Direct.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

He's very transparent and honest all around, and gave us a few good options to get started. In our experience, he was very open to feedback, and had quick turnaround times between revisions, offering several revisions from the get go and delivering on time.

He's very polite and a true gentleman!

San Diego's Finest!!…read more Professional, prompt, reliable, and a pleasure to work with! James was straight forward with his bid. He was definitely a no nonsense kind of guy. I had to kick another company out of my house because they wanted to spend 2 hours giving me a weirdo slide show to upsell me. Not my style lol. James basically said hello, measured, and gave pricing within 30 minutes. I knew that moment I wanted to hire them ... but it gets better! Everything was clear and concise. Nu Wave offered the best material with excellent warranties - both workmanship and manufacturer warranties. Nu Wave's pricing was extraordinarily fair compared to the other 3 bids I had prior. You can tell they care to give clients the best options. Something my husband and I, as new homeowners, were super grateful to find. The install went SUPER smooth! Everything from the removal, to the irrigation, to the install, and even the clean up. Their crews were super nice and respectful. They were in and out in less than a week. They worked hard in the blazing sun - so we made sure to give the crews water and lunch daily for their tireless effort to help us turn our house into a home. When I say James was responsive .. this man was R E S P O N S I V E!!! He showed up to check in almost daily, and always made sure answer our calls or call back ASAP if myself or my husband had questions. We are now 2 months post project, and he still responds to questions/suggestions we ask about for planting, etc. I 10000% recommend Nu Wave. As someone that is very Experienced with working with contractors and manufacturers regularly, Nu Wave is the best!! I dare someone to try and prove otherwise. ;)

Originally, I…read moreonly planned on having the backyard done, but decided to have it all done at once and the end result looks amazing. The owners walked me through the entire thing from the first meeting. They made recommendations when I didn't know and provided detailed plans for both yards. The crew did top notch work and worked incredibly fast. They didn't miss a single detail I asked for and even cleaned up some older areas that I didn't specifically ask for. Both my front and back yards were combinations of artificial turf, pavers, and river rock and the crew did a phenomenal job tearing out the old and prep-ing for the new materials. They delivered on budget and AHEAD of schedule. I whole heartedly recommend NuWave to anyone considering making updates to their outdoor living spaces.
