This is ONLY because we checked daily work and instructed them to fix mistakes and sloppy work. They spent a lot of their time redoing what should have been completed right the first time. Daily progress (or lack there of) showed us that the owner/project manager (Tevita/Mata) is not a good project manager nor that he gave his crew clear direction on this project. The process after contract signing was horrible...not at all professional. The project took much longer than Tevita initially quoted (over 2 months vs the 2 weeks he originally told us). This resulted in change orders and cost overruns. He also tried to charge me to fix their breakage/mistakes/errors (e.g., fixing the sidewalk his workers broke). His crew was not respectful of our property (we had to live with their mess...it's not a vacant lot). They did not regularly clean up the work site nor organize equipment and materials left onsite. Seeing their lunch garbage (cans, bottles, wrappers, etc.) at the end of their workday was common. This continued even after repeated complaints to Tevita and to his crew. No one on site could to provide straight answers as to that day's work or when specific project goals would be completed. Whenever I would spoke with him, Tevita made excuses, provided misinformation, denied deliverables he previously promised, and deflected from answering direct questions. He has a habit of talking over the customer when asked questions he doesn't like. On at least one occasion, he raised his voice and started yelling to avoid answering questions. If it was not in writing, he'd say it wasn't what we discussed. I have never had such issues when working with professional/reputable companies. Tevita and his crew failed to meet every single deliverable date he set. I found him very difficult to work with. I feel that he does not show proper respect to the customer. Instead he appears to think that the customer, the person paying him, should accept subpar work. I suspect that he may also not fully understand the processes involved with the work being performed. I feel that Tevita and Lamata Concrete are not professional. They didn't use professional equipment and they didn't manage the job site or their onsite work time professionally. Their workers typically started late morning and were gone by early afternoon. Lamata Concrete has major logistical problems. They couldn't get an adequately-sized crew or required materials to the job site at the start of any given day, typically interrupting workflow for hours to go fetch supplies. Had they staged materials and tools at the worksite (where there was ample area to store all materials needed for the entire project) and had his crew worked a full 8 hours per day at the job site, I believe they could have finished weeks ago. They are SLOW...3 weeks for a stamped concrete driveway and pathways. I definitely CANNOT recommend them for a cinder block wall. It took way too long (over 2 months) to complete. I feel like they have never built this type of wall. I regret hiring Lamata Concrete. I CANNOT recommend Lamata Concrete nor would I use them again. They were such a hassle to work with compared to the many other professional/reputable companies I have hired. My opinion...take their negative YELP reviews seriously and ask for references and talk to those references. Tevita's response is a great example of how he makes excuses, provides misinformation, denies promised deliverables, and deflects from addressing the real issue. I find it a bit childish and very unprofessional.

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!

We hired Garden Mamas to maintain our mature hillside garden. While we thought it a bit strange…read morethat we had a different crew out most every time, we were assured by Tamara that she had communicated what needed to be done - she was managing the crew. This method seemed to work mostly, although we had to tell the crew each visit what to do, as mostly instructions had been partially communicated. One day, she sent two new people. We told them to trim two bushes on the stairwell and to pick up the leaves, nothing else. This was also communicated to Tamara a few days prior, but like most times, the crew seemed clueless as to what to do. When they were done and had left, we discovered that they had BUTCHERED our garden - most of five++ years of growth was cut away and in a most unappealing fashion. Her crew ripped out plants that a previous crew had installed only a month prior, had trimmed four bushes that were covering an unsightly wall into lollipop shapes, completely exposing the wall, trimmed new growth off of once per season budding plants without any care for shape or aesthetics, butchered slow growing manzanita plants that may never recover, etc etc etc. We were appalled and contacted her. Tamara responded to our concerns, but would not or could not take personal or financial responsibility for making us whole. She told us that the crew she sent was inexperienced and had never worked on a personal, mature garden (only on storage facilities and office complexes), and that she did not have the $$ to replace the plants destroyed or to pay for someone else to replace the plants (as we told her that we could not work with her anymore). We thought about going to the CSLB so that we could at least recover her bond, but did the time/money calculus and finally settled on her paying for two plants to be replaced, at another landscaper's wholesale cost (approx $500). So far, it has cost us over $10000 to get the garden back to where it was, and it will take a few years for it to look as good as it did prior to November 2025. We tried to support this independent, woman-owned business; but her model of a different crew every time coupled with an inability to run her business in a fiscally responsible manner makes it impossible for us to recommend her to ANYONE

I had a lot of junk in the backyard and shed of a house owned by my deceased relatives. Way too much work for me to have a dumpster brought and me fill it up. I had called other companies but one didn't do demo and another was reasonable for the hauling but when I told them I needed the brick outdoor fireplace demoed, the metal awning removed and the floor of the shed removed as parts of it had collapsed, it was a separate bid and seemed stupidly high, kinda like they didn't want to do it but if I was willing to pay the disproportional rate, they'd do it. Communication is really good. They updated me that the husband half of the team, Nino, was running a little late. Not a problem. Once the job started, the contents of shed were more than either of us realized. They removed so much junk that they ended up with more than two truck loads. Additionally, the work to remove parts of the floor of shed was going to take longer so I was given an additional cost estimate. It wasn't cheap but still very reasonable for the work that was being done. They weren't able to completely remove the fireplace that day but they returned a few days later and finished the job. Oh and I needed two sets of pipes that had been out into the concrete for use as laundry lines. They removed those for me too. Overall, I was very happy with Let's Do It Today Junk Removal for communication before, during and after the job, cost and overall service. Would I use them again? Absolutely! In fact a relative will use them shortly. Would i recommend them to others? Absolutely! One other thing. Let's Do It Today is legitimate. Why is this important?

Pablo is THE man! I am new to this town and I can tell you that so far I've been having a lot of difficulties dealing with different contractors and service professionals until I met Pablo. From the minute I submitted an inquiry on yelp, to the minute he finished the job, I was 100% happy! He reply to my message instantly, went to look at the job site within a 2 days, everything was exactly how he said it will and better. His prices are very competitive as I checked around with 2 other contractors. Pablo's team was very easy to deal with, polite, courteous and showed up on time. He accepted a credit card payment which made it really easy for me to pay online. The one thing he did which makes me extra grateful and appreciative is that even after he finished the job and I paid him in full, he still came back with three more guys to help me resolve an issue I had with the mitigation inspector for the deck around my pool at no charge. They literally spent half the day helping me fix the issue and I know he didn't have to do it, but that is exactly why I want to spread the word to let everybody know that if you need to do any update in your driveway or patio, you found your guy! read more

Reached out to Lazaro about removing a medium sized tree that fell over in my front yard. Lazaro…read morewas super responsive, provided the most competitive quote i received and came out within a few hours. They respected that I was in meetings all day and chopped and hauled the tree, in the pouring rain, and left our yard completely spotless as if nothing had happened. I'm used to cleaning up after contractors so that a tree was removed like it was never there takes really respecting tidying the space up afterwards. In the rain!! He sent a photo when it was done, which didn't take long, and accepted virtual payment. Sincerely one of the easiest, smoothest interactions and jobs I have ever had with a contractor.

I am thrilled with my new deck! Lazaro and I discussed the rebuild at length and he and his crew…read moredid a fabulous job. Lazaro was happy to answer all of my continuing questions as the project progressed and he gave me regular updates and advice when I needed to make decisions along the way. I love my new deck and continue to receive compliments from my friends.

Larry provided quick turnaround on quote (very fair), returns text messages and even gets on the phone to have a conversation. Larry is either on time or early! I'd give them 6* if I could. I highly recommend Stellar BG.

Larry and his team did two projects for us and did an excellent job. He is super knowledgeable, yet…read morehumble and easy to work with. He communicated clearly what needed to be done and showed up on time (actually early) with his team to begin the two projects. One of the projects was replacing a broken sidewalk and removing one of the sections in order to plant a tree. It looks great! The other project was a leaning redwood fence and decay along portions of the fence because when it was put in the they didn't put treated wood along the bottom where it met the soil. They stabilized the fence with new posts (rather than stabilizing the old posts like another contractor had suggested). Quick and efficient- done in one day.
