I'd highly recommend Adam Bently for your concrete work needs. I originally observed extensive concrete work he had performed for a neighbor and was impressed. I later used Adam for my home where he built a retaining wall, patio and sidewalk. He and his crew did a great job, were professional and his price was fair. I will use him again for a future project I have planned. read more

Waste of time ....! Simply needed a quote and blew us off! Super unprofessional to treat a prospective customer this way !

Do not waste your time with Adam. He is an immature flake. He said he was coming to quote on a job in 20 minutes. Then it was another 45 minutes. In total I waited about 2 hours and he finally said he wasn't coming. But "his intentions were good". Then he texted me afterwards "I'm glad I found out the type of person you were before working with you". Just need someone to do what they say they are going to do. That is not Adam. read more

AC Bentley Concrete is one of my go to concrete contractors. Adam and his crew are very easy to work and collaborate with. Their final product is clean and high quality. The crew is hardworking, respectful and accommodating. I highly recomend them! read more

Adam and Juan do truly remarkable work. End-to-end, high-end, ideation to design to coordination to execution, nothing is left unconsidered. The antiqued concrete they installed flows seamlessly around our property; the artisan concrete furniture they developed is of heritage nature. We enjoy our property every day; the value added by Adam's work exceeds its cost by a long shot. read more

Adam and his team did our concrete 20 years ago, when we redid our entire yard. He and his team were the highlight of the project. We did a colored stamped concrete which has aged well. We had him come back and demo out some of the old work, add concrete to sections and pour a 400sq foot patio with travertine tile stones on top. He joined it perfectly with the existing concrete. His team is excellent. They worked closely with me to address any questions as they came up and got me exactly what I wanted, which I have found is most important. They were fast and the pricing was competitive. I will call them for any future work I do. I highly recommend. read more

As a a landscape architect in the area, I've seen many of AC Bentley's projects and have been impressed with the high quality every time. Adam and his team not only put out an impeccable product, but are easy to work with and are able to come up with creative and thoughtful solutions for difficult sites. The best in the business - highly recommend! read more

Adam & the Team are top notch. They were fast to respond, fast to quote, and the results excellent. They did work for us a long time ago and we were so happy with the results that all these years later, AC Bentley was our first call this time but we did talk to a couple of others. Their pricing was competitive and they worked us into their schedule fast. We needed two sets of stairs to access the lower level of the property. Great workmanship and designs! We would definitely use them again, highly recommend. read more

I'm so happy with my new driveway, porch and stepping stone work done by Adam Bentley Concrete - the texture, leveling and color are perfect, no cracks, withstood last winters heavy rains no problem and it's just so much better than other jobs I see around town. Plus Adam's crew is happy, hard working and efficient. The foreman Juan is amazing and made some adjustments to my stepping stone design that came out better than I had originally envisioned. Adam also added some drainage in front of my garage that has made a big difference. This was a smaller project for Adam and his crew, but that did not change the level of care and detail they put into it. read more

We at Coastal Evergreen Landscaping have worked with Adam on countless projects and stand behind his work 100% of the time. Adam and his crew do fantastic work on all aspects of concrete from finishing, layout, and designs. He is flexible to attaining what the client is after, and acutely aware of all the details that take his work to the next level. We cannot recommend him enough. read more

I highly recommend Adam Bentley and his crew to anyone wanting concrete work. The crew re-did both front and back patios with a stamp design and color I had selected. Adam guided me through the entire process and explained each step. His crew is very professional, pleasant and respectful. They carefully cleaned up each day. The job was completed quickly and efficiently! Thank you Adam and crew! Susan B. read more

Hands down the best crew and company to work with. Their concrete work is spot on and very clean. We did a contemporary finish on our colored concrete and they nailed it. They were punctual, polite and very accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend Adam and his crews for all your concrete finish work. They can handle any size project with complex details. read more

AC Bentley Concrete - Form work being set up for walls and flatwork. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Watsonville, California

Adam and crew literally just finished our low street facing retaining wall. They did excellent work and his crew is outstanding. Adam came highly recommended by a neighbor he recently did very extensive work for. Our job was small by comparison so I wasn't sure he would even give me a price. The price was good and Adam fit us in between larger jobs about a week later. In a little over half a day his crew dug, placed forms, poured and finished. They even used colored concrete so we never have to worry about maintenance. I can highly recommend AC Bentley Concrete. read more

I would love to recommend this company. I would love to have hired them. They were highly recommended to me. But after two tries, I still haven't had a call back, or received a text back. It would be nice if they at least could call and say thanks for calling but I'm too busy to take any new work right now. Not to do even that is unprofessional and discourteous. Maybe my job isn't big or high end enough.... read more

I have had quite a bit of work done in the last year and AC Bentley is by far the best company I worked with! Adam (the owner) communicated with me every step of the way. His crew was very professional and on time. They worked hard and got the project done on schedule. Adam has a great eye and was able to consult us on some design decisions. That was really helpful! Both of my patios and outdoor shower look great! It was a really fun and pleasant experience working with them. read more

I highly recommend A C Bentley Concrete! During what was expected to be a small drainage project, we discovered additional issues that needed to be addressed. We decided to take the opportunity to renovate our front patio and entry. Adam and his excellent crew did an amazing job turning our ideas and sketches into reality. Our front porch and steps were completely removed and replaced. We also added concrete planters on both sides of the steps which Adam stained to complement the tile. Adam made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. We will definitely call A C Bentley for our next concrete project. read more

We already had a design for curved concrete planters for our front yard from a landscape architect. Adam was very friendly and helpful in adjusting the original design to keep the appearance while being better suited to the site, as well as designing a barrier wall that solved a drainage problem in the same area. He also suggested changes to some walkways we wanted which solved two other drainage problems that we had while tying the whole project together esthetically. His crew did an amazing job of realizing the design with challenging curved walls, and the result was better than we had imagined. On top of that, watching the whole process happen in the yard was fascinating, particularly how quickly after pouring the crew removed the painstakingly built forms to create a great looking texture in the fresh cement. We're very satisfied with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend AC Bentley to friends for any concrete work. read more

In the spirit of the holidays and COVID I am changing my review. I heard back from the owner who left a message regarding his current situation do to COVID. THANKS read more

Adam was a delight to work with on the rework of our front steps, paths and landing leading to our front door. Adam and his team are highly skilled yet fluid and easy to work with. Adam clearly loves design challenges-- he is an artist working in the medium of cement. Over the years he has trained his team to a high standard. Pricing was competitive. We are very pleased with the result. read more

I first hired Adam to pour a new concrete ribbon driveway and small patio for me in 2015 and then again last month to pour a raised front porch and walkways. My home is a 1950 bungalow and in both cases I wanted concrete that would feel like it was from 1950. Adam suggested a slight color adjustment along with a sand finish. The results are outstanding and feel authentic to that period, exactly what I wanted. Not only is Adam and his crew extremely professional, he's really a genuinely nice, funny guy. You can't go wrong hiring AC Bentley Concrete. read more

Adam and his crew planned and installed a great 90' poured in place retaining wall for us. The quality of their work, level of communication throughout the process, and adherence to their stated timeline were very much appreciated. The crew did a great job of leaving the job cleaned up after each work day, and Adam handled the changes we requested after work had begun fairly and thoroughly. Thank you. read more

Adam recently replaced our driveway and walkways, and built an absolutely magnificent set of stairs from the street to the front walkway. I just read all the previous reviews posted here: it's fair to say we agree with everything said by other reviewers - especially that he and his foreman Juan contributed significantly to the design of the stairs. We would use Adam & company again, but with one caveat: I would make sure the contract was specific about site cleanup after the work was done. There were no major cleanup issues, but a number of minor, careless ones. Our opinion is that the job was probably underestimated vis a vis cost and/or schedule, leading to a lack of effort to restore the surrounding areas to their prior condition before departure. Some nagging on my part was necessary to obtain what still turned out to be minimal. We certainly feel we received a good deal, cost - result tradeoff. For what it's worth to the reader I wish I didn't feel the criticism necessary, but I promised Adam a review. read more

We had a new driveway, retaining walls, and walkway replaced by Adam's crew. We were very pleased from every aspect. They showed up on time and were very efficient, hard workers, paid attention to detail, stayed on schedule and always tidied up before they left each day. read more

Adam and the team did an amazing job on our courtyard. We liked their work on the courtyard so much that we hired them to do our entry and side yard as well. They were patient and accommodating when we changed the plans in the middle of the process. I would highly recommend them. read more

AC Bentley Concrete - Courtyard patio with fire pit - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Watsonville, California

I recently did my second project with AC Bentley Concrete. Adam the owner is a stand up guy who says what he means and means what he says. He is always there the day he says he will be (which is something that I have not experienced with all contractors). So no doubt the company is organized and delivers. On a separate note; the quality of work is some of the best I have seen. We went with stamped concrete and the pattern and the color turned out to be exactly what we had hoped it would be. They let us take many different color chips that we laid out to help us decide on which color we wanted. There was no pressure to make a decision or get these chips back either. Once we pulled the trigger on the project it moved quickly, they were neat, courteous, and met the agreed upon schedule and cost. These guys are top notch and we will certainly use them again soon.

I am happy to highly recommend AC Bentley Concrete. They poured a patio, walkway, bench and retaining wall for us. The concrete is beautiful! The job was done within the budget and on time. Adam worked hard to make sure we were informed and satisfied with every step and the final results. The team was efficient, respectful, and tidy. Overall, a great experience working with this company. read more

We asked Adam and his crew to do a concrete counter to for our outdoor kitchen, and it came out fabulous, better than we imagined, then his guys laid stones for our entryway, did a tile porch and walkway and turned our home into our palace. They had to think on their feet problem solve and negotiate with us over changes. What skill. Always kept in touch about timeframes, work days and checked in better than my teenagers ever did! I highly recommend Adam and his thoughtful and skilled team. You are our go-to for concrete and pavers, and tile and....hey, do you do windows? read more

I am a hard core DIY guy. I have added 500 sq ft onto my home (myself), tiled (myself), sweat some copper (myself), and done every other labor one would pay good money to have someone else do. I am very particular about the labor, the style of work and the dedication to detail that you can only get when you do the job yourself. Well - found AC Bentley, my opinion on working with mud has all changed thanks to Adam and his crew. Adam brings high energy and takes the job on like he owns the property. He brings in ideas for you to think about that will add to your original idea. He takes you to the next level. I searched the web for hours one evening before I found AC Bentley. To be honest, after viewing his site, I did not think he would take time for my small patio job AND I wanted a custom texture - stamping. That too (I thought) was out of my price range. I submitted my email request, just for grins, he called next day, we spoke high level, just to get a sense of each other, and it was an immediate sense of knowing that this guy REALLY knows his stuff. He came out asked my thoughts, tried to bring him down to aggregate (knowing I could afford that) and wow, he spun me back up to STAMPING - exactly what I wanted, all that AFTER he had already worked the price that was way in my budget. The job started on time, the crew was FANTASTIC and got to it. They REALLY know what they are doing and explain and ASK if you are good with the direction. Adam was there to review our conversation and expectations and made sure I was happy with the direction and process as we moved along. This was one of the best contractor use and well worth and fair cost of the job. Check out his site, you CANNOT go wrong - write the check, it's money well spent. read more

We had a patio & hot tub pad poured by Adam & his team. They were able to accommodate our schedule & they did a great job @ a reasonable price. read more

I am a local contractor who has used AC Bentley Concrete for many jobs that include structural and decorative concrete. I found Adam and his crew to be attentive to details, amendable to changes, willing to do work that might be outside the scope (like installing a drainage system) and very good at finishing concrete! They did a beautiful job on a winding set of stairs and landings for one of my customers in Aptos recently. Adam reviewed the design and made excellent suggestions to improve the functionality and aesthetics. read more

Great Work, Patio looks fantastic. Working with A.C is easy. Crew very professional. Project was done on time and within bid. Will definitely use him again for future concrete work read more

Adam and his crew are top-notch. I highly recommend this team for any concrete or hardscaping you need. We had some difficult drainage issues, and Adam and his team solved them all. They finished work just before our big storms came, so the work was put to the ultimate test, and passed with flying colors. Bottom line - no puddles, not in the yard or the driveway. This was a big job, involving a retaining wall, a fire pit, a kitchen, and installing pavers in the front driveway. Everything was done with precision and care. You will be very happy when you choose Adam for your job! read more

Adam installed two patios, some walkways, a built-in barbeque with a concrete bar, and a fire pit for us. There was some rock veneer work involved. The results are beautiful. I could tell we were in sync when he suggested the colors to use. The layout was a little tricky since the design was very linear and our house and garage are not situated squarely on the lot. Adam noticed this and provided a good solution. He made himself available throughout the job so that the result was what we wanted. He was on-site almost every day. He provided the name of a top-notch plumber when we needed one for the gas line work. Most of all, I appreciated Adam's desire to finish the job to our satisfaction. He wants to do the job right. read more

Adam and his crew installed a front yard patio at my home . I never met anyone more enthusiastic about his work. He loves cement. The job was complex and involved installing cement walls too.

Adam and crew have done several projects for our new house and we are very pleased. Adam has a good eye and I loved and adopted all his suggestions for our pool deck and walkway.

Adam and his crew (Juan - foreman) did an absolutely beautiful job on pouring a brand new sidewalk and driveway while also redoing our entry way/porch and garage.

We are always receiving compliments on the finish, the color, the grade was done perfectly. Juan, Adam, thank you for a beautiful new driveway! Lalo read more

We just had our old driveway (1350 sq ft) replaced by AC Bentley. The working chemistry of his crew was impressive and they stuck to business even when Adam had to be elsewhere. Adam always kept us in the loop regarding progress and his expectations. He does pay attention to detail and takes pride in his work product. I was nervous at first because it was a big project and way beyond my comfort level. I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone. read more
