I had a super great experience with Sio and his team to repave a part of my driveway that has…read moresunken and to make the edge of the driveway look nice and neat. Sio was responsive and flexible from the get go. Price was very competitive and one of the lowest I can find. He had great/quick communication which for jobs like these is like 25% of the battle. There is nothing worse than dealing with contractors that randomly ghosts you! You won't have to worry about that with Sio and his team. They were early every day of the job, and they were patient and always explained things to me thoroughly. I was really happy with the job and my neighbors all had good things to say about their work! I would call them up again if I ever need help again!

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

My family couldn't be happier with the results. We had a large deck with two staircases built and…read morethe entire experience and outcome exceeded our expectations. The builders did a beautiful job and their attention to detail was great. As a small example, I love how they cut the hogwire on the stair's railing to remain parallel with the rest of the deck. I've seen other builders who angle the wire with the stairs which ends up looking weird. They provided great input along the way, both practical and aesthetic which helped us with specific design outcomes. They even demolished and filled an old water pit which was a hazard for our kids and also affecting water runoff. Santos was prompt and communicative and he gave us the confidence to move forward. I am very grateful they finished this project quickly knowing we are expecting a new baby (today actually). They genuinely made our house feel more like a home with this project and I recommend 100%. Thank you!

We had the build a small patio. They used poor quality metal railing cable wire system that is…read morerusting- what no dip in zinc bath to prevent? Probably a few hundred $ to fix that problem but how does it not occur to them? The wood surround finish was rough and got worse over time. The joints were tight and now they have expanded and the surround looks pretty unprofessional. The worst is that the drainage changed after they installed patio so now am getting water under my house which I didn't before they did the project- so now I have a major repair. They might give you a low bid but they cut the wrong corners and are non responsive and in any case I wouldn't have them back because they do shoddy work. Beware!

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 got a new driveway with pavers installed back in 2023. It turned out great and we enjoyed…read moreworking with the owner Nate. 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.

We recently completed a landscaping project that included a new front lawn, a backyard fire pit and…read morefire ring, an expanded planting area, and new irrigation in both the front and back yards. Overall, we are happy with the finished project. The fire pit and planting area turned out beautifully, and the lawn looks great. There were a few dead spots in the new grass, but the team returned and repaired them. There were a couple of details that did not fully meet our expectations. We had a propane box installed to supply the fire pit, and we were disappointed with the cover, which was made from only two large standard tiles and does not look as finished as we had hoped. We were also surprised that much of the irrigation system was installed using flexible tubing rather than Schedule 40 pipe that was trenched and buried. Since much of the tubing is covered only by bark, we are concerned it could be damaged as people walk through the area. That said, Nick did a good job helping us plan the project and was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. Despite a few areas that could have been handled differently, we are pleased with the overall outcome.

The finished backyard looks excellent and the quality of the construction appears high. Vanessa specifically provided excellent, white-glove service throughout the entirety of the project and was super responsive to all of our communication. We did have a number of issues arise with the crew (mainly excessive dust seeping into our house and trash being left behind on the neighbor's property line), as well as the accounting department (an accidental attempt at overcharging us), but Vanessa always did an excellent job of troubleshooting these issues and helping to guide everybody towards a resolution. She also worked diligently on our backyard design and expertly guided us through several iterations and unexpected construction issues. I highly recommend working with Vanessa and Black Diamond Pavers.
