He took the time to explain that the stone is naturally layered and that some surface flaking over time is normal. After showing me the underlying layer, it was clear the stone itself was solid and that no repair was actually needed. I really appreciated David's honesty and integrity -- it would have been easy to recommend unnecessary work, but instead he explained what was happening and reassured me that the patio is in good shape. I'll absolutely keep their contact information for future projects and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Him and his team were very easy to work with and everyone was very professional from start to finish. They were all very knowledgeable and gave their expert opinion on what design and layout would work the best. Everyone on David's team was also very responsive and patient as well. They finished the entire job in just two days which was amazing. They took one day to level and clear the area and another day to add in all of the pavers. Even though the project was probably more on the smaller end, the level of attention and detail David and his team provided was top notch. I would definitely reach out to David again for any future landscaping projects!

They managed every aspect of the project with a high standard of quality and strict attention to detail. Design Expertise: The team was incredibly thoughtful during the planning phase. Their design insights optimized the layout of the hardscape and plants, resulting in a highly cohesive and functional outdoor space. Quality & Speed: The workmanship on the pavers is outstanding, with precise cuts and proper grading. The irrigation and landscaping were integrated seamlessly. In addition to the high quality, the team worked efficiently and completed the project as scheduled. Thoroughness & Cleanup: They were meticulous from start to finish. Once the work was completed, they performed a timely and thorough cleanup, leaving the entire property spotless. Reasonable Pricing: The pricing was highly competitive and fair, offering excellent value for the level of professionalism and quality delivered. I highly recommend Black Diamond for any detailed hardscape and landscaping projects.

The actual people who did the work especially electrical and irrigation were horrible. They turned off the water, with no communication and forgot 2x to turn it back on. The electrical work included an orange cord across the yard, not only an eye sore but a tripping hazard. ( We had to fix ourselves) A bush was removed on accident, I understand it happens but they replaced it with 2 trees in 2 planters that are 2 different colors. It is an eye sore. The irrigation was done wrong, we had to hire someone to come fix it. We paid a good amount and for the price I would have thought it would have been done right. A few weeks after it was completed the water company came and had to rip up the new landscape because they covered it. When I reached out to the project manager, Kirby....he left me on read.

We have had an excellent experience working with this company. This is the third landscaping…read morecompany we have worked with over our 4 years living here in San Mateo and we could not be happier. There are 3 big projects for which we contracted with Zarco Landscaping, because they continually performed above and beyond on the work. The first project was for a room that would flood when it rains. The team at Zarco quickly diagnosed the problem as poor gutter placement and cracks in concrete on the floor above, and they worked rapidly to connect a new sewer system and rebuild our concrete walkway. There has been no more flooding. The second project was to improve the terrain and usability of our backyard, which is on a hill that was very difficult to navigate. The Zarco team completely transformed the area, building stone steps and leveling the land with premium soil, mulch, and stone. Please see the attached photos (we wish we had before pictures, but it was all dirt and invasive plants before on a steep incline)! Lastly, our third project had to be done rapidly after the recent storms in the bay area. We needed three very large and dead trees removed that were at risk of falling on our house or the street. The Zarco team came the next day to remove all of the trees. Overall, the Zarco team has always delivered amazing service and treated us with respect. The prices are also very reasonable and competitive with quotes we received from other businesses. If you live in San Mateo or the Bay Area, we strongly recommend calling Zarco Landscaping for all of your outdoor needs!

He had a vision for grass, mulch, a pebble walkway to our office shed, and some plants around the perimeter. Exactly what we wanted for our budget and needs. He delivered professional results while staying within our budget--truly budget-friendly without cutting corners. Reliable, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. There were a couple of miscommunications along the way, and we were impressed with how quickly and professionally he responded and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He even spotted some work done by other contractors that needed repairing and did the work. We plan to use Zarco Gardens for our future front yard project. Highly recommend!

We hashed out the details with Nate over email. Our area was 8.5 feet by 21.5 feet and involved digging out the subgrade, setting concrete and rebar, tiles (including a curved path), and gravel. We set the construction date for February 19th which lasted until February 25th. Jesus, the foreman, was great at communicating the steps required for the build. He would often check in to make sure that we got the end product we desired and was receptive to feedback for the design. With their workmanship guarantee, we have nothing to worry about. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle free. We would be happy to recommend them to others for their landscaping needs.

Great turnaround time!! Price was reasonable and they didn't try to force us to spend more than we needed to. Jesus and his team made sure my husband and I were involved in every step of the process. He explained his concerns and what they were going to do to try to fix it. He even came back after the project was done the next day to make sure it was installed correctly and he checked the drainage multiple times with a hose. It has yet to be battle tested by the weather but I'm happy with how it turned out! We are even considering them for another project.

Over the course of a 1.5 week project, I would hear the crew chatting with each other and it seemed like they enjoy working together too. I reached out to about 10 contractors for quotes and Juan's bid was in the mid-range. From the first walk-through, he was knowledgable and asked questions to help me understand what my options are. Unlike some others, he was never pushy and that made me feel more comfortable about working together going forward. He estimated that the entire project (leveling the backyard, building a short wall, French drain, and adding gravel) would take 2 weeks and they finished ahead of schedule. I am so happy to finally have a usable, outdoor space! If I ever want to do more with the hill, I will use KB Landscape for sure.

His crew was great and Juan also works with them, he doesn't just only project manage. He was here all day nearly every day with the crew. It's a small company but they do great work, pay attention to detail like grading, and clean up after themselves every day. They did such a good job, after he finished we asked him to help redo a fence later as well and also continue to come biweekly to maintain the yard.

Once we decided, Eric and his team got us scheduled in and he kept in touch with updates for me the whole time. He was always available if my parents had questions or wanted to tweak anything. Mid-project, my parents decided to change the color of the pavers (definitely a big ask), but Eric was really accommodating and made it happen before the rain started. I know it caused some inconvenience and even delayed another project, but he was understanding and didn't make it feel like an issue at all for them. My parents have been really happy with their yard and everything has held up great. I've even reached out for an estimate for my own yard this time!
