I have a confession. Mr. B and I are cold-hearted murderers (of the flora kind)…read more Severe drought over the past 5 years has meant tough water restrictions. In my town, yard watering was regulated by house numbers - odd house #s can run their sprinklers on M-W-Sat, even #s on Sun-T-Th. I think. I could never really remember. My grass was confused. So, we decided to do the right thing and finish off our grossly un-pedigreed Bermuda and crab grass. We murdered it...it was ugly anyway. Round-up and putting the kabash on the water hose did the trick. Now, reduced to a moonscape, we were the ugliest house on the block. My desiccated plants and neighbors definitely *had* to hate us. The Gladys Kravits' of my neighborhood, http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20090723_Mrs._Kravitz.JPG, were peeking out their windows in horror. The City of Corona thought we used too little water, so raised our rates accordingly. Finally, in 2014, I hired a landscape architect. But after 16 long months of excuses/delays/empty promises, I'd had enough of him. All I had was a set of foo-foo plans that had cost me an arm & a leg, but off-the-charts un-implementable. In my desperation, I scoured Yelp yet again. I found Wayne Andrew, my ultimate Yard Whisperer. Our first meeting in December 2015 went well. Armed with decades of experience and a great wit, he lit up when I spoke of my ideas: picket fence, arbor, roses, river rock pillars, playful garden art, artificial turf, and low maintenance, drought tolerant plants. He looked at my disastrous "professional" drawings and obviously pitied me. Not only were they unrealistic, he assured me he could create something beautiful for half the price. At this point, I should warn you this project has not been an overnight wonder, we still had to wait our turn. Busy man. But the true professional that he is, he stayed in frequent contact with me. While I waited, we created and massaged a new set of do-able plans, he, his son, Tyson whom I must bestow the title "right-hand man", and I. And when if finally became "our turn" the end of July, I finally met the rest of his dedicated, dependable crew. I have great respect for them all. Wayne and Tyson have been on the job almost every single day, working right alongside them. The rock pillars took extra effort because, he took over for his subcontractor after I did not like them, and ended up re-building them himself. Wayne runs a "pay as you go" business with meticulous invoicing. With the degree of complexity of my job, (removing creepy dead plants, leveling, pouring a new driveway and laying pavers, building the new rock pillars with old river rock, building and painting a new arbor (he designed it using the architecture of the house in his design), and installating timed, low voltage lighting and a timed drip system), it has taken almost two months from start to finish, with little time off for good behavior. No magic wand here. And that is why we must all be patient. Now it is finished. Better than I could have envisioned. I appreciate his and Tyson's creative suggestions, but especially their cooperation with me, as I was quite opinionated, both in design and choice of plants. The end result is beautiful, changing with each season. And he will be THE guy I call when I am ready to do my back yard. Many thanks to his subcontractor, Dave Queyrel of Inland Wrought Iron in Riverside, who created my Victorian style fence, and Unique Outdoor Designs in Corona for my special Victorian style, hook lamppost. These are both real eye catchers and which Wayne expertly supervised during the entire installation.

Let me start off by urging everyone to do your homework while researching to find a trustworthy…read morecontractor to do any work in or around the house. Please check multiple online review sites, ask your neighbors, friends, visit the CSLB site, ensure they're licensed, bonded, and insured, etc. There are so many contractors that are unlicensed out here or licensed but NOT for the type of expertise you are looking for... I've seen and heard from many of my neighbors of the terrible job quality, contractors walking out without completing their jobs, or breaking contractual agreements. Couple of my neighbors went with lowest bidder and both ended up paying more to get the original work fixed and/or completed. So, we just recently purchased a home in one of the new communities in Spencer's Crossing in Murrieta. With a brand new home, comes the cool opportunity to design and create your own customized backyard. Due to the amount of investment to complete this type of project, we just wanted to make sure that not only the job gets done right the first time, but also find someone that will help us design and deliver a beautiful backyard. Enter Tony, owner of AM Custom Concrete & Design. He is equipped with both licenses C-8 (concrete) and C-27 (landscaping). He was my 3rd guy I interviewed for the job and immediately knew he was my guy because of his deep knowledge, attention to detail, and lived locally. He also comes and does a lot of the work himself to ensure that the job is top quality. I've attached all the before and after pictures for this particular job. He and his team are phenomenal. Tony even met with us at the local nursery as well as Home Depot to help pick out some stuff. Hire him. You won't be disappointed. The results speaks for themselves.

Tony just finished up with our backyard today. He did a…read morelarge stamped concrete patio, dog run, cemented our side yard, extended our driveway, and added a drip irrigation for my planting project. He started the job as soon as we accepted the quote and was done within a week. Amazing job..the patio is more beautiful than I could've imagined and the dog run was the answer to my prayers. Tony and his crew did such a great job...my son hired him to do their yard too!

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this company. A sales representative came to my home…read moreand immediately began pushing a product I had no interest in. When I asked about alternative options, he responded by asking for my budget. After I shared how much cash I had available, he bluntly told me I couldn't afford anything else. I found his approach disrespectful and dismissive. He wrote two quotes on pieces of paper during the visit. When I asked if I could keep them, he said he would email them to me instead. It's now been four days, and I've received neither an email nor a follow-up call. At no point did he ask about my needs, take measurements of my property, or attempt to understand what I was actually looking for. Instead, he made assumptions and presented what he thought I would settle for. It felt as though he viewed me as a waste of his time. I expressed to him how he had made me fill, and because of his action I didn't feel like doing business with his company I later contacted another company, and the contrast was striking--they were professional, attentive, and respectful throughout the process.

We had major demo and construction done and it was a nightmare through the whole process with my general contractor. Pretty much the general contractor who is supposed to do help me navigate through the whole project didn't do anything and even left me hanging with the landscaping. I wish I found Outside Builders sooner had I known they also do hardscaping. -Responsive!!! Not what you find in contractors of any kind -fair pricing, no hidden costs like my other contractors -punctual and crew worked amazingly hard and fast!! -wonderful quality of work -helped with design and gave me lots of advice because who knew how much went into picking plants lol I'm definitely using them for finishing up my backyard....This company is highly recommended!

NEVER EVER HIRE HIM. HECIS THE MOST UNRELIABLE AND BIG LIAR…read more We hired Jose to renovate our pool. When the project was done, he offered to provide his electrician to install 3 lights in the pool. He charged $3500. I paid $1500 to his electrician and $2000 to Jose. He never gave an invoice despite many times asking him. Unfortunately I paid him in full before completing his electrical work. His guy wasn't licensed and did an extreme unprofessional and unsafe job. Jose sent two more of his guys and both said the electrician did such a bad job that we have to redo the job. Since the lights were not working. I hired a licensed electrician and Jose agreed to pay him in order not to report him to the board. Electrician completely did the whole job all over again and charged $1650. I keep asking Jose that he promised to pay me but he never paid me. I am reporting him to board and have enough documentation to support my complaint. DO NOT TRUST JOSE AND NEVER HIRE HIM FOR ANY WORK.

When we moved into our new home, the front yard needed some TLC. Okay, it needed a lot of care…read more Like Old Yeller did. If you know what this last part is, you're old AF like me. :) Long story short (already too late). There were little thorn/sticker plants all over that would get lodged in shoes, tires, and feet when they made it into the house. I would almost say stepping on those is somewhere close to a 2am lego experience. 0/10 - do not recommend. So, I reached out to Dekkon and worked with both Brittnee and Jose to come out to the house and check out the front (and backyard for future project efforts) to provide an estimate. At the time, the funds weren't available to get the stuff removed. About a week ago when things were finally in a better place, I checked in with them again and they were able to quickly get me on the schedule for yesterday. Price quoted was still honored - which, is pretty awesome considering that the work had to wait a month. Looking forward to having them back to do additional work when the finances permit.

First of all I HATE leaving negative reviews. DO NOT USE this company. This is my 2nd experience…read morewith Luis. The first time I used them, they did a good job. It was some edging and planting plants in planters. I hired them for my new home around the October time frame to fix my backyard sprinklers and new sod. Luis said to get the more expensive sod to prevent the dogs from staining. I took his recommendation. He stated he would replace and repair ALL waterline, and then remove and replace the sod. I even boarded my dogs just in case for 2 weeks! He did NOT fix the water/sprinklers and All the new sod died almost immediately. The area that was peed on turned yellow immediately, not his fault but it was Luis who said buy the more expensive stuff to prevent this. The other areas just died by themselves. Probably because the water wasn't fixed right. I have no idea but that was a loss of 2k in a month! This was the more expensive St. Augustin sod. I have reached out to him now over 8 times. He text me back once, stating I should call the grass company myself. He did actually tell me on one other occasion he would come back to look and NEVER SHOWED UP. I stated to him very clearly that i was not looking to get something for free but full expected after paying $2,000 for him to rectify the issue. I at least thought he'd offer to fix the sprinklers and re-plant the sod at a discount. He did NOTHING. I still cannot reach him. I am presently in the process of filing a claim with the contractors state licensing board or against his bond.
