Finished stamped concrete

Gabino was professional, prompt and overall excellent! I would recommend him. His workers were on time, cleaned up after themselves and did beautiful work!

Finished product
Jr M.

Gabino and his team did the concreat in the upper teir of my back yard , these men carried hundreds of bags up my steep steps to the highest part of my yard. It was a very difficult part of the yard to reach,but they made it happen. The final result was amazing! Exactly what we wanted, I would use these guys again for sure! Highly recommend!

Conduit installed too close to the edge of slab, already starting to crack within a few weeks of install

We hired Gabino's concrete to put an exterior patio slab next to the side of the house. We also asked him to fill-in an existing planter area and add-in matching patio tiles to match the existing patio tiles. Overall, we were very happy with his and his teams services, however, there were a few areas where we'd like to see improvement: Some areas where they exceeded expectations: - Gabino was responsive and very friendly. I was very happy with his customer service and general demeanor. - Team was professional, timely, and efficient - Work was done on-time and for the agreed-upon amount(s) - Concrete work was very clean and professional. Looks GREAT. - His team was overall, very clean and efficient (very little mess, see below): - The patio tile work was FANTASTIC. You can't even tell that the new area was added... looks like it has always been that way Some areas of improvement I would like them to address: - The carpenters that unscrewed the formwork left screws EVERYWHERE in the yard. I wish I would have caught that prior to issuing final payment to ensure the area was clean. - Some sections of the slab were overpoured slightly past the footprint of the slab and I will need to chip these areas out prior to laying out the turf that will eventually butt up to the new slab. In hindsight, I would have asked for this to be cleaned up - Lots of scrap rock and brick were used as scrap in-fill for a large section of the built-up slab (~10" above nearby grade). This shouldn't have any structural implications, but I wish they would have communicated this so I was aware of this - I had an electrical conduit located in the corner of the slab for future, but in the course of construction, we agreed to change the dimensions of the slab and the formwork team left the conduit dangerously close to the edge of the slab. It has only been a few weeks and the concrete is already starting to crack near the edge where this conduit is. I wish they had brought this up as a concern so I could have had the conduit moved prior to concrete being poured - We are replacing the yard with turf in the future, but there were tire marks left in the yard from the work (the work occurred right after a large rain). I wish the team had asked for permission prior to driving all over the grass and tearing it up (I am sure this was not their intention) All in all, I liked Gabino and his team's work (we are very happy about the overall end product), and I would consider using them again, but I would like them to work on the items above before I would consider hiring them for my next project.

Front sidewalk and wall after sealant
Anna H.

I went looking for a concrete contractor on Yelp, and Yelp did not disappoint! Gabino and his crew did such a great job on our backyard project. I can tell he takes pride in the work his team does. Because we had such a good experience the first time, we have since had him back for two more projects: a wall and sidewalk in our front yard. He is responsive and quick to respond. His team was able to schedule a time to come out quickly.

Modifying the drainage!
Geno U.

Highly recommended! If you have a big or small project contact gabino. Really easy to work with and very professional! They will take your ideas seriously and will suggest based on their experience to make it look a lot better. They work fast and very reasonable price! The crew are very professional and they even clean the site before they left. I will definitely hire them again to do the rest of my yard!

Added small succulents right side.

I found Gabino's Concrete on Yelp with great reviews. He was reasonably priced, and a pleasure to talk with. We started with a small project (7' x 30' patio slab) in our back yard. His team did a great job, and had the work done in a day. Watching his finisher's meticulous attention to detail to make sure it was perfect was like watching an artist. About 2 months later we decided to have them do a stamped concrete retaining wall and sidewalk in our front yard. The wall and sidewalk turned out really well. Gabino and his team really take pride in their work, and I would highly recommend them for any concrete work.

Exactly what we planned.

Gabino's Concrete did a good job. We used him for a large stamp concrete patio area. Nice guy and competitive pricing.

Malcolm, Thank you for reaching out to Johnny's for your landscaping needs. Are you looking for a quote for a one time clean up or a one time clean up and recurring maintenance service? regards, Duy Tran This was my reply: Due Tran, There is no clean up needed. The house has been maintained by my regular gardener but he is retiring. I need a regular recurring service. Malcolm Jarvis This was his reply: Malcolm, We can provide bi-weekly landscape maintenance services for this property for $65 per visit. Please let me know if you'd like to proceed with scheduling the services by providing your full name, email address, and service address. I will send over a proposal for your review and signature. Thank you, Duy Tran This was my reply: Duy, There is very little maintenance required and I am looking for once a month at a reasonable price. Malcolm This was his reply: We can provide once every 4 week service at your property for $95 per visit. This was my reply: Duy, Thank you for getting back to me and working with me. I would like you to visit the property so we can discuss what you will do once every 4 weeks for $95 per.

My Thought: If this doesn't sound fishy to you I don't know what would!! I would not trust this guy and I DEFINITELY would not give him any money upfront.

After finally admitting defeat in our battle with gophers, we decided it was time to replace the…read moresod in our backyard, add gopher wire underneath, and install artificial turf around our pool. We interviewed three companies and ultimately chose Villanuevas Landscape for two main reasons. First, the owner, Andres, personally came to our home to assess the scope of the project and address our questions about adding gopher wire under the sod to mitigate the gopher issue. Second, his pricing was very reasonable compared to the other estimates we received. The entire project was completed in just two days. Andres actively managed the project from start to finish, and his crew worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail. They were respectful of our property throughout the process and made sure the work area was clean at the end of each day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Villanuevas Landscape to anyone looking for quality landscaping work. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects!

They were prompt,…read moreattentive, respectful, and allowed me to provide guidance throughout the project (with regard to my specific needs)! Everything turned out exactly like I hoped it would!

Luis came out right away to provide a quote, which was very reasonably priced. He was incredibly responsive to all my questions and had his crew ready to go as soon as the ground dried out.

They also made sure to clean up everything before leaving, which I really appreciated. Luis is awesome to work with, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. I'll definitely be using them for several more projects in the coming months. I couldn't recommend Luis and his team more highly!

We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor. SD Paverscapes was one of three paver contractors we contacted. Luis was quick to respond and listened to our ideas. He provided us with a plan we loved and a price we could handle. The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.
