    New Patio
    Laurie C.

    We recommend Silva Contractors for your patio work. From the beginning they were very responsive to meeting with us, discussing our vision, and implementing our plans. We had an old blue stone patio that we wanted removed so we could create a new patio with areas for planting and a fire pit. We also wanted to make the new patio level with our driveway, address drainage issues, and retain access to a clean-out that was located under the step that leads from our back door. Paulo Silva, our project manager, assured us that everything would be done to code and all our requests would be met. The project would be done on time and on budget. No additional surprises. The team of workers were amazingly efficient. The existing patio was removed in one day and the old stone was stacked neatly away. Each day the crew cleaned up and left the yard neatly accessible. Our new patio is beautiful and I love the color. We love sitting in the sun having our coffee. We love looking at the plants that we put in. Paulo even added a water faucet near the flower bed to make it easy to water. The fire pit is so cozy to sit around as the evenings cool. My mother who is wheelchair bound can easily access our patio. He replaced the existing step leading out of our house and now it is more attractive and inviting. It has been raining heavily now and we have no standing water on our new paver patio just as they assured us. They finished the project within the time frame they promised and there were no unexpected increases. We are so pleased that we picked Silva Contractors for our patio project.

    We had paver installed on the side of the house. Rick and his team we're very professional. Very accommodating to my family. Our neighbors were so happy with the work. They wanted their contact information.

    We worked with Silva last month to remodel our backyard and couldn't be more happy with the process, staff and results! From the moment we met Paulo and Pablo we knew it would be a great fit. They quoted within 24 hours, great pricing, and were able to start within 10 days. The process took less then 2 weeks and we were impressed by their communication throughout the process. All of the on site workers were professional and talented! They did the removal/demo of the fence, deck and most importantly concrete around the pool. They then put in pavers, lawn/sprinklers, lighting and fence. Couldn't be happier!!! We will definitely be using Silva Contractors again in the near future!

    Worked with Silva contractors on a driveway replacement, steps and a path (all pavers). Paulo came out twice to quote the project based on changes I requested (added some sq/footage). Was very easy to work with a the most responsive of the vendors I talked to. The quote was affordable and competitively priced. Project went really smooth - brought a large crew in for demo day and couldn't believe how quickly they got the old concrete out of there. From there a smaller crew prepped the site and laid the pavers over the next few days. All looked great but there was a fence post that got damaged as it was supported by the old concrete. Fortunately Paulo sent over someone who put in a new post (stronger than the old one) at no additional cost. Overall I wish we'd done this project a while back - it looks so good. Would definitely work with them again.

    Great to work with and hard working crew. Job was some earthmoving to fill in a ditch and landscape. Rick Silva was really responsive, came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and timeframe. They scheduled it in quickly and had a short form contract to keep things professional. Junior Silva came out on the day scheduled to manage the job and had things under control with a good group. Job took two days as predicted and to keep to time Junior increased the crew on the second day. They leveled things off and did a good clean-up including any dirt on the sidewalk and road. Definitely would recommend.

    synthetic turf & white gravel

    My husband & I have been wanting to redo our driveway and also add an additional RV driveway to our front yard. Silva Contractors was very responsive when we reached out to them (same day). We worked with Rodrigo as our point of contact, and he had open lines of communication throughout the whole process. They also did our front landscaping & side yard. There was a delay getting the synthetic turf from their supplier, but they still managed to finish the entire 3,000+ sq.ft. job within the promised time! The crew runs a tight ship with their entire operation. Many neighbors have stopped to admire their work, and give us compliments. I can't recommend them enough!

    a backyard with a pool and patio
    John K.

    Silva Contractors really went above and beyond my expectations. Starting from initial call, Rodrigo was very responsive, came out to discuss the project and measure everything, and provided the detailed quote within a few days. What's even more impressive was that he committed to start the project almost immediately - and did! It was a full backyard remodel and a large project. I expected it to take at least two months, but Silva completed the entire project in just three weeks - and all to our utmost satisfaction. Everything was done with great detail and care, and all of our requests were exceeded. Even Mr. Silva came by regularly to check on the progress and making sure that we were completely satisfied. These guys are true professionals and highly recommended.

    Silva contractors finished an amazing job for my backyard in less than 5 days. I'm so happy with their details orientation and professional work.

    Added paver base and ready for paver installation
    Saif H.

    Creating a garden waking path was our dream. After getting quotes from multiple contractors, we find Silva Contractors to be the best in terms of deals. They defined project to be 4 days in length, which actually took 4 days spanning over 10 day period. Guys were professional, easy to deal with and their work was perfect. They made sure to deliver quality they promised. They delivered the exact same pavers in look and feel as we initially pointed out in their catalogue. I asked them some favors along the way for paver extension around water tap which they happily did at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend to take a look at deal they offer and I will rehire them for my future projects.

    After consulting many contractors, we finally decided SCI to do the huge project on our backyard. Jorge Betincort,the operation manager and sale representative of this project did an amazing job overseeing his crew on site every day ,making sure everything goes well as planned.He didn't disappoint. The three brothers who were installers were very professional and easy to deal with regards to some changes and corrections/ suggestions I wanted. We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome!... they finished the job on time! Highly recommended!

    Original Yard with Deck & Lawn (which died)
    Drake Bear S.

    Four companies came out to estimate the work I wanted done, which was replacing my wood deck that was beginning to rot and finding a solution for my lawn that had died. None, except Silva, even bothered to return a quote. Silva Contractors was the only company that said "We want your business" and returned a quote right away. They began work very soon after they got the materials and the crews were on site every day for 3 weeks (including a couple of Saturdays). I am so happy with the finished result. Silva Contractors is run like a family-owned and operated business. The guys were all very friendly. I am a perfectionist so I did made some requests for changes along the way. The workers were always very respectful and eager to make sure I was happy with the final results. Many of my neighbors have requested a "tour" of the back and I am happy to show them. I have been recommending Silva to others that are looking for landscape/hardscape work. My personal sales and project leaders were Paulo & Pablo Moreira. They can be reached at 510-275-3329.

I requested a quote and the biz came back quickly giving us directions to the warehouse for more info or a # to call. No fancy office here, just a warehouse. The guy was so helpful and very clear and transparent which is always appreciated. We had our landscaper put it in vs going with their crew for price purposes. You can purchase from them with or without install although their guarantee doesn't accommodate you (or very limited) without their install services. We legit went to 5-6 different turf spots for samples and this was one of the more expensive options, but it blew the competition outta the water. It's by far the most realistic looking/luxurious turf. Thanks to Yelp for helping us find this gem!

He gave some great advice, and, frankly, he is the main reason we went with Synlawn. Installation was quick and done efficiently. Then it all went south! Mario said that it was great for pets, citing drainage and durability. It is not good if you have a puppy, which he knew we had, as puppies love to chew on things and the turf pulls out quite easily. Too, shortly after installation, we thought we had a ripple in the turf possibly due to installation. I contacted Mario and he said he would come by and take a look. We never heard from him again. To be honest, it turned out to be nothing, but, nonetheless, he never reached out again. After a couple of months was saw some discoloration around the fountain. I contacted Billy Bright, and he said it was due to the water from the fountain. He said to try CLR cleaner, which didn't change anything, and then he said to try GooGone, which also didn't work. He said Synlawn was not going to do anything about it, since it was due to the fountain. My point is, since it seems to be a known issue, why wasn't this mentioned at the time of the sale by our salesperson, Mario, with 17 years experience! The fountain has been in place long before the turf sale took place. Seemingly it is always what the salesperson doesn't tell you that comes back to bite you. Needless to say, that in no way can I recommend Synlawn to anyone. I am giving them one star as there is no zero.

Jason even came out to meet with me again after our initial estimate to answer my follow up questions and give advice. Jason listened carefully to our goals for our back yard, was patient and never rushed us. They installed turf, DG, and concrete for our back yard and front yard. He brought a big team to the job and got the project done in 3 days, and we absolutely love our new backyard. It is beautiful and each detail was well thought out and created. I can't speak more highly of him, he has a true passion for what he does. His team was very attentive, made adjustments during install so that our backyard ended up perfect!

We wanted a low cost but good installation for our dogs who would be constantly on it. They came out the next day to provide a quote. They were the only team to give a quote on the spot and correctly measure our yard. They also were the only team that wouldn't charge us extra for our weird shape/unused turf. There was an option for gopher wire, we declined but nice to know it was an option. All quotes were in the range of $12-$18 per sq ft. I signed the quote easily through their tracking system and communicated with Jason via yelp messenger. One week later, they came out and did the install from 8am-2pm and as promised, they cleaned everything and even fixed some wire plant fencing the dogs messed up. They had asked me about water lines but I wasn't sure and they ended up accidentally punching a nail into one. They very quickly patched it up and continued on. That is totally my bad for not knowing, they informed me immediately, and they were very professional about the mishap. Payment was easy through their payment portal and a text came with the link to pay just as the team finished their work. We are so happy with the finished product and couldn't be happier with the quality of the team. The efficiency was unreal. We thought this would be a much longer project but 1 week later, here we are! Bonus: some things we learned about turf - turf comes in 15ft wide rolls which determines if you'll have seams - most installers are using the same turf and they all cost the same price - larger installer companies will charge you more because they outsource to smaller and medium sized companies like Turf World so you might as well go right to the source. - whoever you get to install can recommend the best type of turf for your use case (ours was need for lasting turf for dogs) - there are layers to turf, not just the grass on top so the cost includes gravel, sand, siding, staples, weed tarp, hauling away dirt, etc. you can't just roll out turf you buy yourself and have the same result. - the reason for the layers is partly because of drainage, you don't want soggy turf! If you look at the underside of the turf, you can see the drainage holes and depending on what you want, you may want a turf with more drainage holes.

Before committing, we did a ton of research and had five different companies come out to provide quotes. Jacob stood out from the very first meeting. He was the only person who proactively brought a variety of samples for us to feel and see in our own yard, which made the decision so much easier. He is clearly an expert on the product; he spent time answering my many questions and specifically addressed our concerns regarding durability for our dogs and safety for the kids. His professionalism and hustle are top-notch. He sent us a detailed quote the very same day he visited and had a list of references for us to call within 48 hours. Throughout the process, his communication was excellent--he responded to every message quickly, so we were never left wondering about the next steps. On top of the great service, his pricing was very fair and competitive compared to the other bids we received. It's rare to find that combination of product knowledge, efficiency, and honest pricing. If you're looking for someone reliable who does high-quality work, I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough!

Adam, Kimberley and Erica communicated really well and answered any question we had about the entire process. They provided us with a few turf samples as well as an extensive list of referral addresses we could use to inspect their craftsmanship and the quality of the installed turf product. When the day to start the project arrived, Dylan and the large crew arrived right on time as arranged and immediately got to work. They were very professional and skilled. They were able to complete the entire project in one day and cleaned up the "worksite" nicely. We are extremely happy with the entire process from start to finish and would use them again if needed and would highly recommend them if you were considering installing artificial turf for your landscaping project.

A neighbor had recommended Fenix. About a year ago a representative came to our house to give an estimate. He brought samples and measured the area and was quite thorough in his explanation and recommendations. We decided on one of the products but had to hold off installation because we were having other work done in the backyard that could have damaged a new turf. Finally the yard was done almost a year later and we contacted Fenix. Their prices had gone up only 10 cents a square foot but they honored our original bid. Installation was scheduled a couple of weeks later. A week before the install we received an email with the site prep, warranty, care instructions, and other useful information. They offer a discount if you pay by cash or check. On installation day they arrived close to 8 a.m. and apologized for being late as it was foggy in Sacramento and dangerous driving. The crew immediately got to work, first capping off the irrigation that watered the former grass lawn and then digging out the dirt and roots. They uncovered a couple of drainage pipes that we weren't aware of and cleaned them out and reset them to be operational under the turf. They accidentally cut some irrigation pipes and quickly repaired them. Once the job was finished they cleaned up our backyard, even on the side of the yard they weren't working in. The new artificial turf looks wonderful. We highly recommend Fenix if you are considering artificial turf for your yard.
