Jose and his team do excellent work and are a pleasure to work with. They're exceptionally communicative, do precision work, and are affordable -- truly the best of all worlds. I can't recommend Diamond Pavers highly enough. read more

Jose and his team paved our backyard about a year ago and it is still looking amazing! He took our yard full of rocks and dirt and turned it into an amazing space for us to relax and play. He even went beyond and cleaned up the area around the patio, redistributed the rocks and pulled out a tree stump! His team really can do it all. Highly recommend and would definitely ask him back to fix up the rest of our yard! read more

Jose (Diamond Pavers) did our driveway, front stairs, walkway with pavers and a concrete piece in the backyard. His work is excellent, started and finished on time. His crew are professional. He is easy to work with and his price was the best out of 7 that we got estimates from. I highly recommend Diamond Pavers. read more

Jose has been one of the best contractors I've dealt with during our renovation . He was friendly, responsive and professional. He was one of the few who actually came out and gave me an estimate and discussed different ideas vs others who asked me to measure and send them dimensions via email. His bid was also the most reasonable and it included the entire porch which looks AMAZING. I would definitely recommend Jose and his guys again and will be using him when we are ready to replace our back. read more

Diamond Pavers - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Antioch, California

Jose & his team completely transformed our backyard with a full renovation. It was a 5 week job and Jose was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the project. In fact, I can't even imagine another contractor even coming close to his quality of work and attention to detail. We brought Jose plans from a landscape architect and he made some on-site recommendations to improve them, and he kept us informed during the entire time. Each day he would send a text update with what work was accomplished and what was scheduled for the next day. His team cleaned up each day and they clearly enjoy working with one another, and for Jose. His attention to detail and pride in his work is what sets Jose and Diamond Pavers apart from other contractors. He didn't rest until the job was done till not only our satisfaction, but his own very high standard. We had Jose install about 500 sq ft of pavers, artificial turf, build two redwood planter boxes, trellises, install drainage and irrigation, and install a full bluetooth-controlled lighting package. He excavated down about 10" and brought in the correct base layers. He thought of small details we (nor the plans) could foresee and asked for our input throughout. We made several changes along the way and Jose was easily accommodating of them. When we had small minor issues come up after the project was complete (such as irrigation drips, lighting adjustments, etc.) Jose was promptly here with a smile on his face. Our family cannot speak more highly of Jose and he is my first recommendation when friends and family ask. We get so many compliments on our new yard and it has been transformed into a space my family uses everyday. We would absolutely without hesitation work with him for future landscaping projects. I interviewed four paver contractors and am very attentive to detail myself. I'm am so glad I hired Jose! (before and after photos included for reference) read more

I'm not the person who usually write the review or using Yelp, but I truly satisfied my driveway pavement project that Jose & his crew amazingly done. I got more than 5 estimates and research reviews this time cuz I got scammed last time by unlicensed contractor. Then I found the Diamond Paver from BBB.org. 13yrs of business, good reviews, certified license and no complaints on BBB. Also, Jose offered me affordable price and good quality of paver. (It was almost 10K less than the other very famous & huge company that every project manager were different) He planed & advised the big picture than just his job(like planning associated issues - fixed the downspout & sprinkler) and what I need to plan for the street concrete project from city. Jose was the one who told me every steps what they're doing and asked what I want. He always told me what was the best option for cost effective & fulfillment of aesthetic desire. Especially, I had a giant tree on the side of the driveway, so when they removed the ugly cracked concrete, there were lots of roots all over the ground. They removed all the roots and made the base step by step as they stick to the basics. All crew was very professional and responsible. Their works were always neat and awesome. Jose looks like a good owner also who take care of his team and he usually stayed the site to take care of the rest the stuff. They finally finished the job and all my family (and my neighbor:) are so happy to enjoy the nice paver everyday we step. He gave me the 10yrs of warranty also and I believe he'll come and take care of it if there is an any issue. Thank you Jose & teams! read more

This was our second project with Diamond Pavers -- Jose and his crew knocked it out of the park with this transformation. We wanted to be able to spend more time in our backyard; we had was peaceful, but not very inviting space -- lots of flower garden area, lots of dirt, and a huge amount of decaying woodchips and leaves. I proposed a simple plan -- half pavers and half turf with a sitting wall, using a herringbone pattern. Jose made recommendations on materials and overall design to make the space more appealing -- like curving the paver/turf border. The project spanned 7 days (estimated as 8). The crew of 4 showed up promptly at 7:30 every morning until 3pm -- Jose (the owner/lead) was here most of the time to make sure work was being done right and went above and beyond to help fix and reroute some irrigation. They cleaned up the site before leaving, and the neighbors commented on how respectful they were with not making too much noise or making a mess. 2 of the 3 guys on his crew had worked on my previous project seven years ago, which speaks volumes to how Jose is running a good operation and treats his team well. I highly recommend Diamond Pavers for your paving and ancillary needs (turf, retaining walls, platform decks). read more

Used Diamond Pavers to repair our parking lot. Jose was quick to respond to my inquiry, answered all my questions and was flexible to take care of the job over the weekend so it would not disturb our clinic. Very competitive and obverse a 5 year warranty for his job. Highly recommend. read more

In 2014 I met Mr. Jose Argueta and he did a nice front step entry, front patio and driveway in pavers. I was really impressed with his men who are very skilled in what they do. They don't rush, they take time to do it right. It was towards Thanksgiving day but they faithfully came during the time of holidays. I love the lights at my front steps and patio. The design is very artistic. They use quality materials. Until now four years passed, my driveway and patio still standing strong, still firm and stronger than cement. I am so happy I decided on permeable pavers than cemented driveway. It was worth spending for it. I won't do it any other way. When I decided to do turf, I thought about Mr. Argueta and closed another deal with him. Mr Argueta is very punctual on his appointments. He tells you exactly how it is done and takes pictures during the process and sends them to you while his men are working. He comes everyday to supervise the work. He is also very nice to his workers. His workers went out of their way to move the soil in preparation of the turf to my backyard just because I asked them. They did not mind doing extra work. I like my turf. It puts a smile on my face when I arrive home. My younger son said "Mommy, it looks like a golf course". I don't need to water grass anymore, saves me time and water. All I need to do is sweep with a broom. It is always green. Lol. When I am ready to do my backyard, I will for sure hire Mr. Argueta. His company always impresses me. Thank you Mr. Argueta!

We contacted Diamond Pavers a couple weeks ago, with a smallish driveway/path project, and their bid was in line with what we expected. A few other companies refused it because it was too small. They were able to start work surprisingly fast; others gave us dates as far out as November. José and his 2 workers did an amazing job.It was obvious that all 3 had a really good working relationship, and communicated well. They had a large bin for the earth removal delivered to our house, as well as a porta-potty, which really impressed me with their professionalism. Our yard has a grade to it, and they managed to get that pad set perfectly. They put so much work into the curves we had in the design, I even saw them remove pieces and do them again. This was no rush job, and these guys really, really worked. We let them store their equipment in the yard, and they kept it all neat and tidy every day before they left. I have had some awful experiences having people come do work for us in the past. This was the total opposite of that. They took pride in their work and did a beautiful job for us. Thanks José. You guys are the best. read more

Jose and crew are nothing short of amazing. I had a 1,000sq ft driveway project in Oakland, and I'm so happy Jose was available to do the job. From the start, he was very professional and easy to reach. He came over and discussed design options and was transparent about pricing and quality of pavers. He set a date to get started and his crew worked efficiently and meticulously. Day 1, they had my ugly old cracked cement driveway demolished, and ready for paver prep. I was happy to see that go! The whole project was completed much faster than I could have expected. Jose found a way to make the driveway custom to my needs, without an increase in cost. The guys showed up on time, and Jose was in and out throughout the day to check on the project. He sent me text message updates if I wasn't home, or walked me through the site if I was home, and kept me informed every step of the way. I've recommended him to a few friends and I will continue to do so. A few months later, and it still looks fantastic. I know it will be beautiful and functional for years to come. read more

Superior workmanship, customer support and follow up. From start to finish Jose Argueta was A+ in responsiveness and ease to deal with. His crew was skilled, efficient. My driveway is very narrow in an older section of Oakland and I wanted to be sure the pipes and gas lines very close to the driveway would be undisturbed. Jose and crew were great in dealing with those and other details. I had 3 bids and this one was the middle though one was much less--this one seemed reasonable for the amount of work and detail. We were delayed by coronavirus lockdown but Jose continued to be in touch as we rescheduled. Work completed in the estimated time. Highest recommendation. read more

Diamond Pavers - Narrow driveway, finished. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Antioch, California

This is a long overdue review for a retaining wall project done few years ago. We recently started thinking about another landscaping project which prompted this review. We had a retaining wall project that had gone wrong, and Jose was able to pick up where it was left off and finished it beautifully despite weather and other hiccups. He even spent hours with us at the decking company looking through the different options for the patio. Overall Jose was not only great at what he does, he was also very pleasant to work with and always had a positive attitude. read more

We called Jose to give us a quote for our backyard. He was very quick to respond, and with a competitive price we went with Diamond Pavers. The job was completed quickly and looks absolutely amazing. Jose and his crew are very friendly and took great care of our property not only during but after the project was completed. We opted to use pavers for our patio and planter box. Then we decided on a synthetic grass for the rest of the yard for our son. We are so happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend Jose. read more

The huge rainstorm of late October last year caused a large part of the hillside below my garage to slide down onto the street below, threatening my garage. After interviewing a number of landscape contractors and retaining wall specialists I hired Jose with Diamond Pavers to do the job. He was extremely knowledgable, his communication skills are great and his price was reasonable. They did a lot of excavation and compaction and then used a Versa-lok decorative block (on a footing) that is locked together and also anchored back into the hillside with Geo-grid with compaction of every layer. It also has a great drainage system and filter fabric. It was a tricky job being right on a narrow street but they did it safely and carefully with great attention to detail. Jose was fantastic at going over everything with me and asking for my input and his team of guys are fabulous hard workers. Clean up was perfect and there were no added on costs. I have had many compliments regarding the finished wall and I think it is going to support my hillside. I recommend this company HIGHLY! read more

So I had Jose first help me pave the patio in my backyard and around my house just to test out to see how it will look back in 2010. I figured if it didn't come out the way I pictured it, it would stay hidden in the back of the house behind the fence. It ended up turning out really nice with the synthetic turf I later added in my backyard, so I went back and had him do my front entrance and driveway as well. I told Jose to please help me do the front and driveway in the shortest amount of time possible, since I park all my vehicles inside my garage. He worked through the weekend and helped me finish everything within 5 days! Pavers came out really nice. I'm a happy camper. :) read more

We had Jose fix our driveway that had existing pavers. There were several places where the driveway sank and the pavers lifted out of place due to shoddy work by the first guy. His crew did a beautiful job repaving it. Then we had Jose come back and work on the backyard. He put in a retaining wall and built 2 planter boxes. Again, beautiful work. We also had some unfinished work that a previous contractor abandoned (artificial lawn). Jose came through for us again. He came on Wednesday to give us a quote. 3 days later the lawn was finished. Just in time for summer. We are so happy. We highly, highly recommend Jose and his company. read more

This is my first project with Diamond Pavers and I am incredibly impressed with Jose and his team. He lived up to everything he said he would do. He provided a competitive price for a 100-foot retaining wall, told me exactly when he would begin work and mapped out all my expectations, never balking at anything I asked. He said the job would take 8-10 days, he did it in 7. He showed up precisely at the time he said he would, working even on weekends to make sure he met his self-imposed deadline. Each day the crew made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Their work was FANTASTIC. This team knows what they are doing. I hated going in my backyard before -- now I love the look of it thanks to Jose's work. I would used them again. read more

Diamond Pavers did a fantastic job with our backyard! We are so happy with the new design and the quality of work. Jose was recommended by a friend, and though we had a couple other businesses come in for a quote, we went with Diamond Pavers. Right from the start we could tell that Jose was very professional and organized, gave ideas/suggestions as we described what we wanted done even during the first meeting. The previous owners of our house installed tiles in concrete covering almost the whole backyard. We wanted pavers instead, and some new planting areas. The demolition process was very fast (2 days), and then Jose brought us samples of the pavers we had in mind, and samples of borders that would go well with the pavers. We had a French drain installed along one fence and a planting area along the other fence. Always friendly and polite, always ready with materials recommendations, Jose was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! We have a small project planned for the future, and we will definitely ask him and his crew to come back and work with us again! Thank you! read more

We've recently moved into our house. We upgraded several things and I wanted our front-yard to look nice too. Decided to go with pavers for walkway and porch, and to build side wall and garden bed. I hired contractor that has really good reviews on yelp. Unfortunately, we had to stop our contractor, clearly he couldn't do what we asked and what he advertised on his yelp page. It was very frustrating to look for another contractor, because I'm on maternity leave with a month old baby. I called Jose, he was very quick to respond and gave competitive quote. Jose and his crew were able to start in two weeks and finish in four days. They fixed steps, built side wall and garden wall. Jose was on the site daily supervising his team to unsure work done properly. I really liked that he was asking me questions to make sure I like what they are doing. His guys cleaned up every time before going home unlike my previous installer. We are very happy with the final look. Highly recommend Jose and Dimond Pavers team! read more

Jose came out to bid on a landscape project I had. Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication, it was not clear that pavers were not part of the project. He spent 45 minutes each way (due to traffic) all the way out to my place before we found out about the miscommunication. He was extremely nice despite all of this, and he was very honest about what kind of work he was licensed to do and what kinds he was not. I unfortunately never got the chance to work with him, but the fact that he was very communicative and punctual, the fact that he was very honest about his license, and the fact that was extremely nice -- even though he essentially wasted 1.5 hours to visit my place -- go a long way in my book. It is difficult to find contractors who are punctual, honest, and nice, but Jose is definitely one of them! read more

I had Diamond Paving Systems install pavers for my 600 sq ft patio and walkway. I called them and they came the same day to do a design and quote. Once I gave them approval, they began work the very next day. They were very fast and efficient and finished the job ahead of schedule in just a few days. I highly recommend them. They work quickly and professionally and my patio looks great! They even gave me a great price on the job, compared with other vendors. read more

We have long driveway with an irregular stone wall (tapering from about 2 1/2 ft. to 6 ft. high) that had split and was leaning towards our driveway, threatening to collapse. After contacting Mr. Argueta, sending photos, and describing the problem, he was over at our home to give us an estimate in less than 24 hours. He assessed the scale of the problem (big) and gave us a quote, which we accepted. He fit our job (estimated to take 2 - 3 weeks) into Diamond Pavers schedule, so the work could quickly begin. Every day the crew removed a small section of the wall, dug back the dirt and roots that were pushing it forward, and rebuild the wall. At the end of the crew's work day they cleaned up the driveway removing any stones that were not yet in place so my wife and I could use the driveway and park our car behind our house instead of leaving it on the street. The job was completed in two weeks. It looks great! The repaired wall section looks great, blending in perfectly with the older wall sections that did not need repair. Care was taken to rebuild the wall so as much of the moss and lichen covered stones still faced outward which really makes the repair blend in well with what had been the original near 100 year old way. I highly, highly recommend Diamond Pavers work and professional execution of our contract. read more

As a retired General & HVAC Contractor I am extremely impressed with the professionalism of Diamond Pavers. Our neighbors had utilized Diamond Pavers for their project and we saw how pleased they were. For our project, Jose offered several excellent suggestions which we incorporated into the final design (including one which lowered the total cost by several thousand dollars). Jose and his crew were prompt and orderly in their work and their attention to detail was impressive. The grading (preparing sub-surfaces) was precise and the final alignment of the pavers was exacting. We are very happy with the result. One final observation: I believe the integrity of an individual or company is not how well a project proceeds but rather what is the response if a problem occurs. (And any contractor who says they've never had a problem is lying or has just started his business this morning.) The day after our project was done and the final payment had been made, one of the sprinkler components failed. (I know enough to be able to determine whether failure was installation workmanship or manufacturer's material failure; in this case it was simply material failure.) I notified Jose of this problem on Saturday of a three-day weekend. He responded within two hours and stayed on top of the repair throughout the weekend! As I stated at the beginning, as a contractor myself, I am extremely impressed and highly recommend Diamond Pavers!!! read more

Jose was very quick to respond to our inquiry about our backyard patio in Oakland and came out to view our space within a couple days. He even came back again when I had more questions. Jose had a good suggestion for us that allowed us to get our desired look without having to rip up existing cement, saving us money. The crew showed up on time each day and even finished the job earlier than expected. Jose made himself available by phone for questions and has been responsive via email since completion. He recently came to touch up some of the sand that had eroded from lots of water flowing from our garden over a few of the pavers. I highly recommend Diamond Pavers! read more

I needed a 400sq ft area repaved in my backyard. Called Jose and he was able to come out within 2 days to quote. Price was reasonable and he was able to find a slot in his calendar within a week! That's unheard of, most other pavers were over a month out. Once finished, the backyard looked spectacular! Even though the same pavers were relayed, the area looks completely different. I'm ecstatic with the results. Would highly recommend. read more

We recently hired Jose Argueta and his company, Diamond Pavers, to expand our driveway and redo the adjacent side paths. Jose did an excellent job matching and merging the new sections of Calstone pavers with what was done 10+ years ago.

Jose Argueta and his three man crew performed admirably. Unlike other paver companies with several crews, Jose oversees all the work from demolition to completion. Working on Saturdays to ensure the work was completed on-time, the men transformed our ugly cracked concrete and aggregate driveway and walkway into a beautiful field of paver patterns. Jose even replaced our rotted sprinkler pipes and encased our wooden support beams. I cannot thank Jose enough! read more

We chose to extend our backyard patio area with concrete pavers. We were pretty knowledgable about the proper way to install pavers, and asked very specific questions for the companies we screened. We went with Diamond Pavers because they adhere to the highest standard of paver installation. In addition, Jose the owner is very involved in the whole process which results in high quality control (no separate estimator or sales person). Jose is very knowledgable about all the various pavers on the market, and helped us make the right choice of pavers for our project. He was very responsive to my emails and always on time. He and the crew were very pleasant to work with, and we couldn't be more happy with the results! I would highly recommend Jose and Diamond Pavers. read more

Diamond Pavers - Belgard Lafitt Patio Slab in Victorian - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Antioch, California

Holy cow. Jose is fantastic. I called up 2 other contractors for this semi small job. a brick planter that was leaching in water to a garage it was connected to. One guy from a well known local construction company wanted $400 and what he wanted to do to seal it was a joke. The next idiot wanted $1200 to $1500 for an over the phone estimate without even seeing it. Jose from Diamond Pavers came right out on a Sunday and and quoted me $800. The job was somewhat small but needed to be done correctly. Showed up on time with a helper and got right on it. Jose ended up going to a local hardware store twice, first time for product we settled on and the second time because we both agreed the planter could use some rock for drainage. It was amazing how clean they got the brick and concrete surfaces before sealing them. I swear you could of ate off them.Very flexible on making sure it was done how I wanted it and had no problem going beyond on what we settled on because it would make the drainage on the planter better. 100% professional. Poor guy seems to work 7 days a week. my mother has an extremely large basement foundation problem. Will have no problem calling Diamond Pavers to give me a bid. Trust me, you couldn't do any better. read more

I would highly recommend Diamond Pavers. We had our driveway redone. It was originally 8 feet and we widen it to 17 feet. Starting with Jeanne the designer all the way to the demo and install crew. Jose has a great group of people working for him. Jeanne was amazing. She helped me understand things in terms that I understood. Jose (the owner) and his crew were amazing. They had to demo the driveway as well as some landscaping to get the job done. They were very professional. Cleaned up daily after themselves. I will post a picture as soon as I can.

We were looking to pave part of our backyard to have more usable space for basketball and entertaining. Got a few quotes but put it off for more than a year. We finally decided to proceed with the project and chose Jose Argueta for his professionalism, friendliness, and good yelp reviews! He was willing to pave over just the lawn as we had wanted but suggested that replacing the old patios too would look better. He was so right! The hardscape makes our yard look so much bigger because everything is uniform and increased the surface area. Drainage works well with all the recent rain we've had. Jose and his crew did a phenomenal job and were very mindful of cleaning up after themselves. We only wish we had this done sooner! read more
