Specialties
Built Like Rome specializes in paver driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls, drainage solutions, artificial turf, paver repair, and outdoor living upgrades throughout the Bay Area.
We help homeowners replace old concrete, upgrade backyards, repair uneven pavers, improve drainage, and create outdoor spaces that look elevated, function properly, and are built to last.
Founded by Iudi Guerra, Built Like Rome is built on nearly 15 years of experience across installation, project management, operations, customer service, and sales. That experience shapes the way we approach every project: thoughtful planning, clear communication, proper construction practices, durable materials, and attention to the details that matter.
What makes us different is the standard behind the work. We do not look at pavers, walls, turf, or drainage as surface-level upgrades only. What happens below the surface matters. Proper base preparation, compaction, drainage planning, edge restraint, material selection, and clean execution all play a role in how well a project performs over time.
Whether you are planning a paver driveway, backyard patio, walkway, retaining wall, French drain, turf installation, or full outdoor transformation, our goal is to help you understand your options and build the project the right way from the start.

History
Established in 2020.
Built Like Rome was established in 2020 by Iudi Guerra after nearly 10 years of experience in the construction and outdoor living industry.
Iudi entered the industry in 2011, starting with hands-on field work and eventually gaining experience across installation, project management, operations, customer service, and sales. Over the years, that background shaped a clear vision for what homeowners should expect from a contractor: thoughtful planning, clear communication, proper construction practices, and work built to last.
Built Like Rome was created to bring that standard into paver driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls, drainage solutions, turf, and outdoor living projects throughout the Bay Area.
The company may be young, but the experience behind it is not. Our goal is to build outdoor spaces with intention, durability, and a level of care that represents the home properly.
Meet the Business Owner: Iudi G.
I’m Iudi Guerra, owner of Built Like Rome.
I entered the construction and outdoor living industry in 2011, starting with hands-on field work and learning the trade from the ground up. Over the years, I gained experience across installation, project management, operations, customer service, and sales, which gave me a complete understanding of what it takes to deliver a successful project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
I started Built Like Rome because I saw a need for a hardscape company that combines strong communication, thoughtful planning, proper construction practices, and a higher standard of finish.
My goal is simple: help homeowners create outdoor spaces that look elevated, function properly, and are built to last.
Whether it’s a paver driveway, patio, walkway, retaining wall, drainage solution, turf installation, or outdoor living upgrade, I approach every project with care, honesty, and attention to the details that matter.
