She was prompt and full of information from our first consultation. During the design process she always responded quickly to my questions or additional requests. We signed the contract and they started the project a few weeks later as promised. As the project progressed and things came up she worked with Alfredo, the installer, to make adjustments and adaptations. Stephanie came every few days to check on the progress. Alfredo's crew were the hardest working group I have ever seen. They arrived each morning on time, worked non stop all day everyday to get the job done in the time promised. Working with Stephanie and Alfredo was effortless. As I said I could not be happier with my new patio. And now I can enjoy it as summer is right around the corner.

Of three designs we received, Frances Krebs was the most professional, creative and detail oriented. Her design fulfilled our vision and the execution by her crew led by Ismael and Raul, made our dream come true. Frances (Black Diamond) was the only one of the three companies from which we received designs who was able to build 25 paver stairs and a walkway up the sand dune and create a platform for our view of the golf course and Monterey Bay. Frances and her crew were always punctual, responsible, skillful, considerate and professional. They were able to accomplish all we asked for. Black Diamond, with Frances as the designer and project manager, was definitely the right choice.

We noticed a water leak under the green and contacted the company to see if they would honor their work where apparently a sprinkler head was left uncapped. Dan reached out and sent his team to repair and the putting green looks as good as new and the leak is repaired. After the work was completed Dan reached out to make sure we were happy with the work. System Pavers, represented by Dan is a great and reliable company that stands by their work (even a couple years after installation). I would highly recommend Dan Burnham and System Pavers to anyone looking for a beautiful and challenging putting green or landscaping with an excellent experience. This added a lot of fun to have in our yard for friends and family-time fun.

The backyard now looks amazing. Our view is even better and our yard looks twice as big! I have found the team to be extremely polite and professional.

Third Heaven Review…read more This review is long overdue - Third Heaven began two of our projects during COVID-19. Both our projects were completed by July 2023. In March of 2022, our first project with Third Heaven was to lay a concrete pad for an Endless Pool, install the stone skirting and pavers around the pool, along with other details. It was a huge job in which Juan Carlos Marquez and his team had to work with the pool installer/contractor (separate from Third Heaven) who was NOT as dependable and easy to work with as Third Heaven and Juan Carlos. Nevertheless, Juan Carlos was patient and diplomatic as well as efficient and flexible as he met every challenge the job presented. The results were fantastic! In February of 2023, our second project was the landscaping of the rest of our yard. I had a design in mind to which Juan Carlos was very attentive and kindly made suggestions that helped significantly. He was very forthcoming with prices and affordability as well as keeping us informed of material delays. He was also very patient with me as I asked questions and presented ideas about details I hadn't thought about during the planning process. Here are the highlights that would be very important to me if I needed to find a landscaper (which I don't - I'm hooked on Third Heaven Landscaping :)) Dependable and Honest - Juan Carlos, Third Heaven's owner is true to his word. To me this is invaluable when dealing with any professional. I knew what to expect and when to expect it. He is friendly, amicable, diplomatic, considerate, and very dependable. When there were delays, he let me know as soon as he knew. We never heard excuses or felt deceived. The team he had working on our property was also very dependable and professional. Listens - Juan Carlos listened to my plan and offered helpful suggestions. I was never put off if I wanted to do things my way, nor did I feel he resented me "sticking to my guns". He enabled me to appreciate him making points if he thought one of my ideas might not work. However, he was interested in making sure I was happy with the outcome; of which I undeniably delighted!! Good Ideas - Juan Carlos made suggestions that were helpful. For example, I went with a composite bark for ground cover after he brought me some bark samples. The composite really DID look natural and was considerably less expensive. Also, I had some stepping- stones from my yard that I wanted to use in my rose garden - but couldn't figure out the layout. One of the Third Heaven team members laid them out perfectly. Putting lights in our patio and pool steps was also a brilliant suggestion. I am especially grateful when I have to go out and check on things after dark - much safer than a flashlight and so much prettier! There were a lot of little details which the Third Heaven team and Juan Carlos enhanced the aesthetics of my garden. Accommodates Schedules - Juan Carlos worked with and around COVID-19 and contractor issues, our work schedules, personal events, and travel schedules. He did all that he could to make sure that we were comfortable with what was on the schedule. Follows Up - In all things, Juan Carlos followed up on all arrangements and contract obligations. We appreciate that he did many check-ins to make sure we were happy with the finished project. In closing, we HIGHLY recommend Third Heaven Landscaping and are very happy with their expertise, dependability and being as kind and accommodating to us during our landscaping projects. We truly feel that Juan Carlos Marquez and Third Heaven Landscaping went above and beyond our expectations.

I started using PM Landscape approximately a year and a half ago and the difference I see in my…read moreyard is significant. The company I had previously employed was doing the bare minimum with very little accountability and despite my requests it kept getting worse and everything was met with addition charges. For example, when I noticed plants were dying in warmer weather, I asked them to water a bit more, they wanted to charge me for it! That was it, I started looking for a different provider. I interviewed 3 landscape companies, PM pricing was in the middle of the three but their service what above and beyond. They are a professional company with a structure that provides excellent service and management. A project manager arrived at my house, walked the front and back yard with me, I explained what I needed, they gave two options for weekly yard maintenance and advised on what they would recommend I do once a year (pruning etc). They have teams who work together and a foreman who checks in on the work. I loved the structure and communication. For just slightly more than I had been paying the other vendor, I received a significantly better service. Jorge and Jose do a great job keeping things tidy and green. They are on time, they aren't rushing to the next job, they have their system and they get everything cleaned up perfectly every week. In their first month, I had neighbors commenting aabout how nice everything looked! They understand what to trim back, how to keep the flower beds free from weeds, when to do a heavy water..... I don't have to worry about a thing. If I do need extra work, I send an email to their office and their foreman comes out to take a look, they provide and estimate and if it works for me, the work gets done quickly. I highly recommend PM Landscape, this is a fantatsic company and they an excellent system and they are worth every penny.
