I am 100% happy how they transformed my patio into a beautiful space in just a few days. I was so impressed that I asked if they could redo another area and Don was able to provide a quote within the same day. Everything is beautiful and it really changed the entire feel of the house. There were no hidden fees or anything sketchy, 100% honest and professional. Their level of expertise is in their workmanship, down to every cut and placement and the total cost was fair and exactly what we agreed upon.

From start to finish, the whole process was smooth, professional, and clearly handled by people who take pride in their work. They installed Angelus pavers in my backyard, and the transformation is incredible. What used to be a pretty plain space is now a beautiful, clean, and very aesthetically pleasing area that my family and I actually want to spend time in. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show. A special thank you to Don Poole, who was fantastic to work with throughout the project. He went out of his way to make sure everything was done right and that I was happy with the outcome. He was responsive, honest, and genuinely cared about delivering a great result. If you're considering upgrading your outdoor space, I highly recommend Black Diamond Pavers. Great people, great communication, and excellent work. Very happy with how everything turned out!

Ronald and his team at Newland Landscape are the best! We had worked with Newland Landscape back…read morein 2018 for our back yard so it was an easy choice to call up Roland for our front yard. Our project involved a new driveway, several retaining walls, flag stone, leveling the yard, drainage, irrigation and planting. We had a general idea of what we were looking for, but Roland made the process easy to take our ideas and turn them into a finished product. Given his years of doing this he was also a good one to enhance what we we wanted to do, or alternatively tell us "that is not a good idea". We were on a timeline to get the job done and he was able to deliver. One thing that is really helpful with Newland Landscape is that he has multiple crews working. This allows him to shift resources around as needed. I think we had people at the house working every day, and some Saturdays. In our experience this is a rariety with many contractors. We had to do our work as well, staying ahead of him picking out materials, plants, etc. but with that he was able to stay on track with our need. I would highly recommend Roland and Newland landscape for medium to large jobs.

Stephen Ilavsky was the project manager and it seems he had my vision on what I wanted the front…read moreyard to look like. He did a couple of computerized renderings of our front yard, and we compared his ideas to my drawings, and wow, almost identical. The entire project took a mere 5 days. Even the neighbors were impressed especially with the high quality work. We had the entire front yard revamped and the driveway went from 2 car parking to 3 car parking with the walkways going from 3' to 6' with a new 6' walkway going from the house to the sidewalk. We reused all the existing plants we had, which saved us a bundle and look awesome in their new homes. Stephen had the crew run electrical conduit in case we changed our minds on path lighting. Good call! We changed our minds! So after the project was finished Stephen himself came out and put in the path lighting himself. After all said and done, I noticed that we had a problem with the sprinkler line under the side walk missing dirt. I texted Stephen and he immediately jumped into action to get the issue fix. Thanks Stephen! Love this company and I 100% would recommend them!

We selected So Cal Paver Stones & Landscape to do a complete demo and replace with pavers to give our home a modern clean and open appearance. Working with Stephen Ilavsky on our budget and landscape planning was the right move as he translated our vision into a real project. From demolition to installation including new drainage and lighting the work progressed on schedule. Both Stephen and Omero made frequent visits to the job site with Omero providing day to day guidance to the exceptional work crews. We're extremely happy with the final result and it gives our home the look we were striving for. Definitely a 5 star service.

I'd caution anyone from placing too much weight on this company's high rating, as my recent…read moreexperience involved a last-minute cancellation, poor communication, and ultimately being ghosted. I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
