    Backyard
    Nikhil K.

    Solid ground landscaping did an excellent job in taking care of our backyard. They were on time and finished work efficiently, as planned and left the place clean. We will hire them again!

    Mauricio is responsive, friendly and detailed oriented. I asked for a quote late Wednesday afternoon. I get a call back minutes later. 30 mins later he is looking at my overgrown backyard. We literally had more than a foot high tall weeds and grass that overtook our entire backyard. Our toddler was not able to play on her outdoor play set. He gave me an affordable quote, promised to come the next morning at 8:30am. An hour later... voila! His crew was super clean and efficient. I highly recommend Mauricio. I wish I had before pics so you can see how overgrown everything was.

    This area was filled with grass and weeds. They cleaned it up nicely and laid gravel.

    Mauricio and crew did a great job removing big old junipers and prepping the soil for new plants. On time and efficient crew.

    I would have given ZERO stars. Don't trust their overall YELP rating. I made that mistake. I feel…read morethe finished work (driveway, pathways, and wall) are reasonably acceptable. This is ONLY because we checked daily work and instructed them to fix mistakes and sloppy work. They spent a lot of their time redoing what should have been completed right the first time. Daily progress (or lack there of) showed us that the owner/project manager (Tevita/Mata) is not a good project manager nor that he gave his crew clear direction on this project. The process after contract signing was horrible...not at all professional. The project took much longer than Tevita initially quoted (over 2 months vs the 2 weeks he originally told us). This resulted in change orders and cost overruns. He also tried to charge me to fix their breakage/mistakes/errors (e.g., fixing the sidewalk his workers broke). His crew was not respectful of our property (we had to live with their mess...it's not a vacant lot). They did not regularly clean up the work site nor organize equipment and materials left onsite. Seeing their lunch garbage (cans, bottles, wrappers, etc.) at the end of their workday was common. This continued even after repeated complaints to Tevita and to his crew. No one on site could to provide straight answers as to that day's work or when specific project goals would be completed. Whenever I would spoke with him, Tevita made excuses, provided misinformation, denied deliverables he previously promised, and deflected from answering direct questions. He has a habit of talking over the customer when asked questions he doesn't like. On at least one occasion, he raised his voice and started yelling to avoid answering questions. If it was not in writing, he'd say it wasn't what we discussed. I have never had such issues when working with professional/reputable companies. Tevita and his crew failed to meet every single deliverable date he set. I found him very difficult to work with. I feel that he does not show proper respect to the customer. Instead he appears to think that the customer, the person paying him, should accept subpar work. I suspect that he may also not fully understand the processes involved with the work being performed. I feel that Tevita and Lamata Concrete are not professional. They didn't use professional equipment and they didn't manage the job site or their onsite work time professionally. Their workers typically started late morning and were gone by early afternoon. Lamata Concrete has major logistical problems. They couldn't get an adequately-sized crew or required materials to the job site at the start of any given day, typically interrupting workflow for hours to go fetch supplies. Had they staged materials and tools at the worksite (where there was ample area to store all materials needed for the entire project) and had his crew worked a full 8 hours per day at the job site, I believe they could have finished weeks ago. They are SLOW...3 weeks for a stamped concrete driveway and pathways. I definitely CANNOT recommend them for a cinder block wall. It took way too long (over 2 months) to complete. I feel like they have never built this type of wall. I regret hiring Lamata Concrete. I CANNOT recommend Lamata Concrete nor would I use them again. They were such a hassle to work with compared to the many other professional/reputable companies I have hired. My opinion...take their negative YELP reviews seriously and ask for references and talk to those references. Tevita's response is a great example of how he makes excuses, provides misinformation, denies promised deliverables, and deflects from addressing the real issue. I find it a bit childish and very unprofessional.

Lamata Concrete proved to be the perfect partner for this because the 1) got back to me the quickest, 2) were not deterred by the relatively small size of the job, 3) they were able to fit us into their schedule within a week, 4) they were very price competitive, 5) they communicated very well, 6) and the executed the project quickly and flawlessly (showed up when they said they would and did quality work). I would highly recommend them!

Over all I felt the project was a great value. Once the project began, the crew's professionalism was evident. They maintained a clean job site, tidying up thoroughly at the end of every workday, and it was clear they took genuine pride in the quality of their craftsmanship. I am already looking forward to partnering with Alfredo and his team on my next backyard project later this summer.

After reading all the positive reviews, I called Leyva Concrete and spoke with Alfredo. He came out, looked at the space and we talked through the process. I made adjustments to the original scope of work, and Alfredo was super-accommodating. His team finished the excavation work that I started, then prepped for the concrete pour. These guys know exactly what they're doing, taking care with the surface finishing and all the cleanup. True craftsmen. I'm so glad I went with the professionals. They're prompt, the communication is great and quality of work is exceptional. Alfredo and this Team at Leyva Concrete are truly amazing!

    We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

    I received a notice from San Francisco Public Works informing me of damage to the sidewalk in front…read moreof our rental property. Looks to me that this "damage" occurred when someone other than myself had re-cemented this sidewalk after which someone walked over it and left shoe marks. I would think said company should be responsible for this, but alas, I had 30 days to address the issue. I contacted a few concrete companies and they told me it was patch job and they don't do jobs that small. I stumbled upon BlockBusters Concrete on Yelp. I called Patrice and he said to send some pictures and he'd give me an estimate. I sent him the picture that the city inspector had sent me and he responded within an hour with a price and 2 options. I went with option 1. He took care of it the next day. I Zelle'd him payment and viola, problem solved. I really appreciated Patrice's quick responses, his ability to take care of the job ASAP, and allowing me to make payment easily through Zelle. I can't imagine having this process go any smoother.

He did stop communicating with me for a while when he was too busy to do the work, but it wasn't a long wait. I understand this, as we clients, (speaking for myself,) are quite chatty and can waste a lot of the contractor's time. All and all, I am very satisfied with the work and experience with Blockbuster, and would highly recommend!
