Steve and his team are first class. You can tell he has years of experience with an eye for detail. His team did a great job and very hardworking. We've already had many compliments on our driveway and front door walkway.

Steve and team were honest, fast, reliable, and friendly. Pricing was fair and the crew did a great job cleaning, pouring, coloring, and sealing. We're very happy with the results and definitely recommend them for future projects!

The picture doesn't do it justice, but getting a picture of my drive-way without cars on it is impossible. We had been hunting for a good contractor for our driveway which was trashed by roots, and everyone I asked could only tell me names of who not to go with until I found Donaldson. I had driven by a house who had work done and spoken with them to see about their experience. Steve was good about level setting with us and supporting our vision even though it would prove to be a little high maintenance. I wanted a brick boarder which came out looking fantastic and of course we immediately damaged it because well we were idiots. Steve was super nice and sent his masonry person to fix it and reinforce it to make it a little more idiot proof. The imprint design and the brink really brings the driveway to life. My only warning is once you have your fabulous driveway you will notice your house needs painting and your yard could use a glow-up. Donaldson ground down our dreaded tree stump, helped run pipes for our sprinkler under the driveway, installed a handrail on our new step, laid the beautiful brick trim, and filled in a hole in our sidewalk. Their prices were reasonable and the service was responsive. I had noticed one review mention he was unresponsive once the balance was paid in full so I was nervous when we had a couple things left to be done, but they were on it! I was so relieved after hearing everyone else's horror stories about other contractors.

Steve and his whole team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish! The price, timeline, and quality of the work was first class. Our pool deck and backyard patio turned out perfect, thank you!

Steve and the crew did an awesome job on extending my driveway. The Brentwood city inspector was impressed with his work. They definitely were meticulous and did an excellent job. It's rare to see people go above and beyond. I also used them for stamped concrete 10 years ago for my backyard and it still looks awesome. If you want excellent work you definitely want to call Steve

Steve and his guys did an amazing job with our backyard. They were very quick and made it on time. It was really nice working with Steve because he is very responsive, professional and gave suggestions with what's best for our backyard. I highly recommend them!

We hired Steve after reaching out to several contractors here on Yelp. Steve was the most responsive, personable, and reasonable of them all. We were getting a pool, and we'd decided to go with a company that doesn't do any demo or do the deck or equipment pad (concrete) work. Steve quickly produced a quote to demo old concrete, then return after the gunite phase of the pool install and frame up and pour colored, stamped concrete for the pool deck, equipment pad, a new patio and walkways around both sides of the house. Steve and his crew were very considerate, always cleaning up after themselves, and making the entire process easy. During the demo I was removing a fruit tree myself and one of his crew came over and helped. The best part of my entire pool installation project was the attitude of, and work that Steve and his crew did. There are only a couple minor baubles in the entire project - a couple of seams were cut with slight tapers instead of perpendicular to the edges they cut across. You can hardly tell unless like me, you have experience working in concrete finishing. Their work was incredible. We love it!

Loving our backyard!

Would highly recommend (Steve ) Donaldson Concrete for a really great job on our 1800 sqft backyard. Very Professional and easy to work with. After a month a half I couldn't be happier with the result. We're now fully enjoying our outdoors. Thanks Steve & Adam and company for your excellent work !

Steve's company is local and he is very detailed oriented. He takes a vested interest in each job he does and his crew worked hard to get the job done In a week! I would recommend concrete overlay if it works for you! It transformed my backyard and pool

Gloria Z.

Steve is very professional. We like the job he has done for the side of our house. He worked with our schedule and met us in weekend. He explained us how they would work on this job. We are happy with his job. We'd like to recommend him to anyone who needs concrete work. Thank Steve and your team!

Cristina L.

Had our patio done by Steve and his crew. They did a great job! We had stamped concrete (in brown), decorative rock and I had 9 junipers running along the back fence. The crew was very good, friendly and professional. Steve responds to texts/calls right away so communication is great. I've already recommended this business to a friend looking to get similar work done at her house!

We chose Donaldson Concrete to pour a patio area and walkway in our back yard totaling around six yards of stamped concrete. Steve came out quickly for the estimate and was very personable and professional providing plenty of details, photographs of past work, and suggestions relating to our job. I was very impressed with him and his team of workers and carpenters. They have a unique bond with each other and strong work ethic. We could not have selected a better contractor to do this work. The crew used a smoke gray color with a beautifully textured stamp pattern for our work, and we are very happy with the outcome.

See all

We enjoy our tropical-themed backyard so much now :). Thanks to G (the owner, the foreman, and the hard worker) and his crew. We moved to Brentwood 18months ago. We needed a makeover of our backyard which was flooded during rainy season and poor arrangement of plantation, as well as front yard upgrade. I RFQ'd 5 contractors, and got 4 back ontime. The owner of Pacific Landscape Services (= PLS) is Gatzemani (shortname G). His quote was right in line with another 2, but we were attracted by his overall solution of our troubled yards, and he seemed to be a smart guy. So we did our leap of faith by hiring him to finish in 8wks. Based on our past experience of contracting, ontime seems to be a dream.... but G and his crew made it. 1. Quote is reasonable, G doesn't nickel/dime with small adjustments. I do suggest to communicate clearly upfront to avoid adjustment/rework. 2. G is the worker bee himself and the most skillful one. 3. G always said "have to do it right" vs shortcutting/ easy work, and he did. 4. G is easy to work with, and manages his crew effectively 5. We were impressed by the clean-up on daily base and final closure which really stands out his services. We no longer needed to hire trash dumping guys like our prev projects. 6. If you are uncertain about something, you can ask G who gives his honest opinion but respects the owner's final decision and executes it. 7. G has a broad knowledge of sub-supplier bases+ plantation. We took his recommendation for pavers, pebbles.. 8. They specialize in hardscape/ pavers/ drainage/ irrigation. We have a sloped driveway and connection to backyard through sideyard. The leveling/grading was a big challenge for everyone, but G did it. 9. Restored our deserted pond in the back and transformed it into a beautiful creekbed with moss rocks. The sound of creek river is so soothing and enjoyable (see pictures) 10. The only thing is the SOD which is not doing well. [6wks later after completion] The lawn is 95% good, there are still 2 brown spots at front lawn Few recommendations: a). Any material on color/texture, it's better go to stores (if avail), and/or check samples vs online/brochure. It is very different, esp with big areas and how they age overtime. b). Consult G and make your own final call. The creekbed was a recommendaiton from G, a master piece vs a pond with mosquitoes. We went with our desire of light pebbles vs dark lava stones (an idea from G), and we love our decision. c). Get involved and check the job periodically. We did/do find small flaws (not major) due to inconsistent labor quality during the job, eg. trash was not removed before installing gopher wire, irrigation lines popped after 4wks... G re-did the gopher wire the next day after being made aware, and we fixed the dripper line ourselves. Overall, a very postitive experience!! I highly recommend Pacific Landscape Services.

The project included removing several large palm trees, installing drainage systems on both sides of the house, pouring new concrete, and installing turf. One side of the house is now fully finished with clean, well-done concrete, while the other side has a combination of concrete and turf that looks great and is very functional. In the front of the house, they created a large concrete driveway that leads into the larger side yard, which really opened up the space and made it much more usable. They also installed turf in the front yard with a large concrete walkway surrounding it, giving the whole area a clean, finished look and nice curb appeal. Tino was punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His crew worked hard, stayed organized, and paid attention to the details. The concrete work is smooth and well finished, the turf looks natural, and the drainage system was installed properly to make sure everything functions well long-term. You can tell they take pride in their work, and the quality really shows in the final result. I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Tino and Llano Grande Landscaping Corp to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping, drainage, and concrete work.

The second was a wall we shared with our neighbors for our shared road. The third was a wall to wrap around our property to protect our house from any future landslides. Each time, everything about the process was FANTASTIC. Steve and Kristin were so accommodating, comforting, and communicative. The walls are absolutely stunning--we get comments about how nice they are all the time. Steve is a really nice guy--he is genuine, knowledgeable, honest, and he had an understanding that the work he is doing is a significant financial investment for us and so concerns are handled compassionately, with utmost patience. Steve's crew is full of respectful, considerate individuals who leave the worksite in excellent condition each time (and I have high standards!). Kristin's prompt communication was excellent (as was Steve's) and we were very pleased that with each project, the quote was accurate. When there was dump fees (I think for soil--but not sure--they had to hire trucks), we were informed well ahead of time and told why, and even then, we prepared for the fees, and they came in under budget. We cannot recommend Avon more highly--budget willing, we would use them again and again!
