    Mali helped us design a functional and beautiful deck for our family! We couldn't have imagined anything better! The layout, design and thoughtfulness that was poured into this project is beyond 5 stars! Thank you for creating one of our most favorite spaces in our home!!

    I'm a general contractor and have been working with Mali at CA permits and design for many years. She's absolutely fantastic. She designs our projects and pulls permits for us. We specialize in bathrooms and kitchens so these are most of the projects she works on for us. She's a real pro and knows the job. She cares about us a client and our customers and is very realistic about our needs. I'll definitely keep working with her and will be happy to answer any questions if you're considering working with CA Permits and Design.

    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.

    We worked with Landscape Experts Inc (LEI) to revitalize our wild yard, cutting back swaths of…read moreovergrowth and transforming it with a variety of beautiful California native plants and nine fruit trees. They also carved out a lovely hillside with custom stairs, a spacious terrace, and game trails perfect for enjoying the view. LEI works with YesPlease.Garden (YPG) who managed the design process and Fresh Coat Restoration who completed the new fence. The partnerships were well integrated and it felt like working with a single team. See my Google Maps review for more on YPG. We are very happy with our project and would recommend LEI because they were professional, courteous, reliable, and provided clear and upfront pricing. Documenting decisions in writing proved helpful for keeping everyone on the same page. Any problems we had were resolved fairly, such as correcting the direction of our stairs. Aaron is a man of his word but prefers to conduct most of his business through texting. We first contacted LEI and they promptly scheduled a time to visit our property with YPG to see what was possible within the budget we set out. We completed the design with YPG and LEI scheduled a time for the project demolition. A later approximate time for planting was set, but that was dependent on the availability of the various plants we had selected. Everything scoped in the design was completed within the budget and any add-ons we later requested were priced separately and fairly.

    My wife and I are in love with our yard again, and we are very happy with the work Aaron and his…read morecrew did. After deciding to remove our pool, we hired Aaron as the installer for our new landscape project, and we are so glad we did. For months, work was moving forward almost every day, from demolition prep and grading to hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, fencing, pergola installation, pebble work, and the finishing touches. The quality of the work was excellent throughout. The paver patio, carport, and front entry all turned out beautifully, and the plants, irrigation, and lighting were installed with great care. We were especially impressed by the rock and pebble work, particularly the dry creek and front mow strip. The mix of stone sizes gave everything a natural, detailed, and polished look that really elevated the final result. Aaron also has a strong eye for detail. He regularly caught things that needed adjustment, even when we had not noticed them ourselves, and he stayed focused on getting everything right. While there were some issues that delayed finishing the project, Aaron took responsibility and worked with us to make them right, which we truly appreciated. In the end, what matters most is that we are thrilled with the outcome. Our yard feels beautiful, welcoming, and complete, and we look forward to years of enjoying it.

Malrie is the design guru while Carlos and his crew execute the design with painstaking detail. Malrie brought to life a dull design we received from another outfit. Communication and expectations were clearly outlined. This is not the norm in my experience when dealing with contractors but critical when tackling a project as complex and expensive as ours. The value for the design/work was incredible compared to other companies we spoke with. Do yourself a favor and call Arreola Landscape. You'll be glad you did.

Once we started working with them, they were everything you'd want in an engagement and more. Extremely reliable, responsible, dependable, and definitely went above and beyond in so many ways. They walk you through every step of the process but also let you be involved with as little or as much as possible. So attentive and available whenever we had questions about anything. All of their crew onsite were friendly and respectful. We added on things along the way but they still met the original timeline discussed. We could not be happier with the turnout and spend so much more time in our yard now! Would recommend and happily be a resource for anyone considering.
