I can't say enough good things about Eric and his dad -- they are truly the best concrete team I've…read moreever worked with. This is actually my second time hiring them. A couple of years ago they helped me with a smaller concrete project, and I was so impressed by their professionalism and craftsmanship that I knew I would reach out again when it came time to redo my entire backyard. From the very beginning, Eric stood out for his clear communication and honesty. His quote was very fair compared to other contractors I contacted, but what really made a difference was how much thought he put into the design and planning. My backyard was in pretty bad shape -- uneven ground, cracked areas, and even a section near a retaining wall that wasn't very stable. Eric carefully looked at every problem and came up with creative, affordable, and effective solutions. He never tried to upsell or rush decisions. Instead, he made sure I fully understood each option, and he adjusted the plan to fit both my budget and my vision. During the construction, Eric and his dad worked with incredible efficiency and attention to detail. Every single day, they arrived on time, worked hard, and cleaned up so thoroughly before leaving that I could barely tell it was an active construction site. That level of care and respect for a client's home is rare and deeply appreciated. The final result completely transformed my backyard -- the concrete surface is smooth, solid, and beautifully leveled. They even paid attention to the small finishing touches that many contractors might overlook. The project was completed right on schedule, exactly as promised. Eric and his father are honest, reliable, and take great pride in their work. You can tell they truly care about doing the job right, not just getting it done. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire them again or recommend them to anyone who needs high-quality concrete work. They're the kind of people you feel lucky to find -- hardworking, trustworthy, and genuinely good at what they do.

Over all I felt the project was a great value. Once the project began, the crew's professionalism was evident.

I am already looking forward to partnering with Alfredo and his team on my next backyard project later this summer.

After reading all the positive reviews, I called Leyva Concrete and spoke with Alfredo. He came out, looked at the space and we talked through the process. I made adjustments to the original scope of work, and Alfredo was super-accommodating. His team finished the excavation work that I started, then prepped for the concrete pour. These guys know exactly what they're doing, taking care with the surface finishing and all the cleanup. True craftsmen. I'm so glad I went with the professionals. They're prompt, the communication is great and quality of work is exceptional. Alfredo and this Team at Leyva Concrete are truly amazing!

Unfortunately for us, the house had a small concrete patio with most of the backyard covered in cheap mulch. We knew from the day we bought the house that we wanted to remove some of the mulch and add concrete in the backyard. We found Jose's Concrete through Yelp and were impressed with his high rating and pictures of past jobs. We reached out to Jose and he personally came out to hear what we had in mind. Jose was very professional and provided us with a very reasonable quote. He was able to start the work within a couple of weeks which was fantastic news since we were eager to get it done. Jose was personally onsite every day that work was being performed and was super punctual. He listened to all our concerns and ideas and made all the necessary adjustments as the work was completed. My only suggestion for anyone having concrete work performed (by any contractor) is to consider how it impacts your irrigation system. Our landscaper recommended a larger opening around the irrigation system and Jose was able to accommodate and also install a PVC runner under the concrete to ensure our irrigation needs were met. My wife and I are so happy we chose Jose to complete the concrete work in our backyard. This company is an no brainer 5 out of 5 stars!

It was time to fix the driveway before I needed more costly repairs. After checking online for highly rated companies, I got a few quotes for filling the cracks and sealing the driveway.

They thoroughly cleaned the area that needed filling and sealing and quickly got the job done. The sealant was applied carefully and there were no signs of splatter or messy footprints. I'd highly recommend Cato's and would definitely call on them again.

Hard workers, they got the job done in four days. I have used other paver companies in the past so I knew what I was looking for. Their pricing was very straightforward, with no surprises and extremely reasonable. Kim and David have great ideas and know what they're doing. We had quite a few areas of yard that were overgrown with weeds - they needed to be cleaned up and replaced with weed barrier and mulch. Then we had a large area in the backyard that needed pavers where we will be installing a cedar shed. You can see from the Before and After pictures what a transformation it has been! Highly recommend Modern Paving with Kim and David. Did I mention that they got the job done in four days? My friends and family were all amazed at how quickly the transformation occurred and how nice it looks now!

Two years ago, we began work on a retaining wall with another contractor, only to discover later…read morethat it had not been built correctly. The structure was poorly executed, and we were left with a frustrating and costly problem. That's when we reached out to Modern Paving. From the very beginning, David, the manager, stood out for his professionalism and deep expertise. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explain the issues in plain terms, and lay out a clear plan to fix the defective construction. What impressed me most was his integrity--he didn't try to cut corners or offer a quick cosmetic fix. Instead, he focused on doing the job right, ensuring the wall would be structurally sound and built to last. The workmanship from David and his team was meticulous. Every detail was addressed, from the foundation work to the finishing touches, and their precision was evident in every step. They approached the project like true craftsmen, combining technical know-how with pride in their work. Modern Paving is not the cheapest option, and frankly, that's a good thing. You are paying for subject matter experts who value quality over speed, and honesty over empty promises. In an industry where it can be hard to find contractors you can fully trust, David and his crew stand out as the gold standard. Their professionalism, skill, and commitment to doing the right thing make them, without question, the best in the area. I would recommend Modern Paving without hesitation to anyone who wants their project done right the first time--or in our case, done right the second time.
