At first I thought the bid seemed high, but once they got started and I saw what was involved -- jackhammering and removing the concrete, delivery of two flats of heavy pavers, delivery of sand for the substrate, cutting of rebar, and all the heavy lifting, I figured it was well worth the price. Jimmy led the installation team, and he and his workers were friendly and courteous. All the pavers were installed in a single day, and the joints were filled with polymeric sand the next morning. We are delighted with the result.

We went back and forth on choosing our pavers and Dave was patient and brought us out 3 sample designs that we chose. After that, it only took 5 days! Harley and his team of hard-working men came and made the job look effortless. They were respectful and friendly and did amazing work! We would recommend them for any job!

David was really patient with us as we didn't have the biggest budget and helped us with not only a well laid out floor plan for our changing needs (it was very funky before) but also helped with our project management which I found incredibly helpful. Most important, we didn't have to hire a separate designer. He suggested very thoughtful period centric elements to build in and materials, tiles, and color schemes to ensure our home had the right feel. He introduced me to some really beautiful and unique materials I'd have never found. In the end we finished everything (including the landscaping) in 2019 before the pandemic to enjoy full time home living. My last comment is that David also works fairly quickly. Our street is older had many architects remodeling our neighbors and it seemed we had the fastest process with getting our plans completed. Highly recommend David.
