After
David H.

Hillside pavers did such a good job the first time we asked them back to do another project. They delivered again! Their attention to detail is one of the things I appreciate the most. There's another wonderful experience working with their team. I would highly recommend Hillside pavers for your projects.

Byron and his team at Hillside Pavers did such a great job transforming our awkwardly shaped backyard into something we will actually use! The crew did such a great job and their attention to detail was top notch. Highly recommend them!

Before view of courtyard outer wall

I have been on a remodeling kick over the past year. I have transformed my courtyard and front into great entertaining spaces with pergolas, built-in bbq and outside big screen televisions and seating. The only thing I needed was new landscaping. After I got an idea of what I wanted, I got some bids from yelp. One thing that stood out was that Heather from Hillside Pavers seemed to know exactly what I wanted. After our initial meeting at the property, she contacted me a few hours later with some ideas and a rendering of what the space might look like. I knew right away that I wanted to work with her. When I received the quote, although it was more than I was thinking of spending, I felt it was reasonable as it included so many things I hadn't considered. The project was recently completed, and it looks great! The crew was great, very positive energy and they all seemed to work together well. Shaun, the project manager, was on top of things and kept me updated and reached out when he needed my input. I am already looking forward to working with Hillside on the next phase, as I have a hillside (lol) and side yard with a grassy knoll to work on. Thanks Hillside, well done! Don't let the name fool you, Hillside's team really knows landscaping! I didn't even get a single paver installed . . .

If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable company who is going to make your yard look drop dead gorgeous, Hillside Pavers is it. Byron and his team completely transformed our patio and yard, and the entire experience was exceptional. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. His whole crew responded quickly, showed up when they said they would, kept us informed every step of the way, and delivered beautiful, high-quality work with incredible attention to detail. What impressed us most was their integrity. Byron and his team were transparent the entire time, anticipated issues before they became bigger problems, and went far beyond what most contractors would have done to make everything right (and seconded by my father who's been doing carpentry for 50 years that they were exceptional). I chose Hillside Pavers because they had amazing reviews, but you never know. I'm so glad I trusted what everyone else had said because now we understand why. It's rare to find a company that combines exceptional craftsmanship with this level of honesty, communication, and customer care, treating our home like their own. When we do more work to our yard, Hillside Pavers is our first call.

Patio with Gazebo and fire pit

Hillside pavers were extremely professional and on time. They gave a fantastic quote and didn't nickel and dime us. Pricing was transparent and fair. Working with Byron was a breeze. They kept to key timelines and managed and facilitated work with other sub contractors properly. I believe Bryon and his team went above and beyond multiple times to get us the front and backyard of our dreams! Highly recommend giving them an opportunity to transform your yard!

Reclaimed usable space
Michael C.

There are renovations that improve a home -- and then there are renovations that fundamentally recalibrate how that home exists within its environment. What Byron Schley and the team at Hillside Pavers delivered for us falls squarely into the latter category. Ours is one of the oldest houses on the block, my grandfather built it himself in the early seventies so needless to say there is sentimental value here, the years were told loudly in its dated facade ever more blindly as one by one and year by year the houses around us became more modern and desirable and that contrast was ever more noticeable when it became every other house on the block. Before this project, our front yard was little more than a narrow, uninspired strip adjacent to the public sidewalk that functioned more like spillover from the street than usable property. It did nothing to reflect the scale or architectural presence of our three-story, beach-adjacent home. Today, that same footprint operates as a private, structured courtyard -- a defined outdoor living space that feels intentional, modern, and architecturally integrated. The Techo-Bloc paver installation is executed with geometric discipline and clean proportional balance. The contrasting border trim sharpens the layout, and the modular patterning reads refined rather than repetitive. Where water once pooled visibly, the drainage now performs efficiently and invisibly -- The upgraded water line alone was transformative. What used to produce barely a trickle now delivers pressure so strong it rivals commercial output .The underground drip irrigation system is intelligently concealed beneath the hardscape and reemerges precisely within the base of our large entry planters. It is automated, timer-controlled, and calibrated for plant health without visual clutter. For us gardening is a foreign labor, the system removes guesswork and replaces it with precision. It lays the groundwork for what will be Madagascar jasmine and Rainbow's End climbing roses to ascend the custom trellis Speaking of the trellis -- it is a custom design by Byron himself and serves as the architectural anchor of the entire entry sequence. Its linear steel geometry frames the approach to the home, introduces vertical rhythm, and gives the courtyard presence and scale. The black powder-coated aluminum slat fencing, set atop a raised paver foundation, creates privacy without heaviness.The laser-cut gate beneath the trellis introduces texture and artistry, especially when lit from behind at night. And the lighting system integrated along the fence base and entryway is hospitality-grade in execution. The perimeter wash creates a subtle floating effect. The laser-cut gate panels glow from behind in layered depth rather than harsh brightness. With full color customization available, the space can transition from understated architectural white to vibrant holiday displays with precision. It feels closer to a Ritz-Carlton courtyard or private club environment than a residential frontage. Most importantly, the project didn't just improve appearance -- it created usable square footage. It has become the preeminent gathering space of our home. it is upscale functional living space.The neighborhood response has been immediate .Neighbors who we barely knew for years have introduced themselves. Passersby stop to compliment the change.The property now projects the level of architectural coherence it always deserved. We approached this cautiously. Prior experiences made us exacting and demanding clients. Byron handled that with patience and professionalism. When questions arose, they were addressed. The end result reflects accountability and pride in workmanship. Hillside Pavers is not inexpensive -- but quality rarely is. There is a tangible difference between budget work and engineered, finished craftsmanship. This project did not simply beautify our home. It expanded it. If you are seeking exterior transformation that blends infrastructure, architecture, lighting design, and true spatial creation -- Byron Schley delivers work that justifies the investment. The result is not just attractive.It is world class work accompanied by attentive customer service . Rarely do you see people that live by the age old idiom anymore who's motto is the customer is always right! But With this outfit that's exactly what you receive and working with them was transformative . I highly recommend their services to any and everyone who are sick of simply average work and service that only toes the industry line, if you want something more, something world class and a good experience throughout call Byron Schley and hillside pavers (+1 (714) 613-2500) , I cannot sing their praises high enough and this review doesn't even give them the credit they deserve so one last time Thank You Byron and thank the boys down at hillside pavers for an amazing job

Spa tiles, new coping/steps, and pavers.
Kevin H.

Hillside installed pavers on our driveway and entire yard, as well as re tiled our spa, created new steps to the pool/spa, and resurfaced our pool slide. Shaun, Oscar and Heather were all very professional, with Shaun overseeing the work virtually every day. Although there were a couple of hiccups, they ensured that everything was done to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend them.

Removed debris and started lying down the blocks

Added more photos of the project after the rain. With all the piece of broken fence gone it's much roomier

Steve O.

Great group of guys. They are hard working and they do great work. Their communication can be lacking but they came through and completed the work. No real complaints here. Would hire them again. I feel their concrete work was a great value. Jason was the representative and he was very attentive.

Pavers around our new sunroom
Holly P.

Byron and his team gave excellent service and quality work from the beginning to the end. Byron gave a detailed and well thought out plan for our house project. Communication with Valentina made the whole process so much easier and informative. The crew that came out was hard working, paid attention to detail and efficient. Our end results exceeded our expectations and we plan to use them for our future house projects.

CAOL and JC came up with the most reasonable quote for the job…read more The job involved excavating soil, connecting the gutter to the house drain but the installation required removal of pavers around the front yard. They completed the work in less than a day which included pressure washing and filling the spaces between the pavers using filling polymer sand. We are extremely happy with the results. The job was completed satisfactorily.

This company is very fast and JC always maintained strong communication. There were some minor…read moredisappointments, but overall we were happy with the work that was done. My wife and I have a new-build that required additional landscaping of our backyard. We eventually decided to go with California Outdoor Living after reading all their positive reviews on yelp. In addition their quote was very competitive if not the best when looking at other contractors. We already had a design in mind for JC which made the process very quick. Although there was some misunderstanding with the design and drains throughout the process, JC was always responsive with his texts and quick to make adjustments. The moment we got our design approved by our HOA, the construction happened VERY FAST. We emailed California Outdoor living on a Wednesday evening of our approval. The very next day (Thursday), JC arrived to go over the outline. I do appreciate how fast things were done, but it was almost to a fault at times. They were ready to go by the next day but my wife and I didn't feel like we had discussed the plan and execution thoroughly enough. On Friday the construction workers were already digging out our backyard. They spoke only Spanish so communication was very difficult to ensure if our plan was executed appropriately. By Saturday all of the pavers were laid out. Construction was incredibly fast but because of that some details were lost in translation. We discussed with JC that we wanted an 11x14 ft paver island. However the final dimensions was 12.5 x 12.5 feet. We also wanted all the walls of our backyard to be lined with turf. However the paver border ran too close to one of the walls, that putting turf did not make sense. They only left 1 inch between the wall and the paver (see attached image). We appreciate how fast the work was done. The overall work was great BUT not exactly what we wanted. We felt rushed with the whole construction process. However everything was done in less than a week which was incredible! In addition, once the turf was laid out JC noted that window reflections from both our neighbors and our own windows would cause damage to the turf. He informed us this can happen sometimes. Going back to rushing things and not being thorough, we wished JC took the time to look at our backyard and factor in this possibility. If we had known the reflections could damage this area we would have changed our turf design. At the end of the day they are just executing our design, but it's these minor things that left us feeling like our backyard could have been better. However we are still very thrilled with the overall speed and communication done throughout the process! Would still recommend this company. But these small critiques are definitely something to keep in mind for future clients.

I found Aloha Concrete on Yelp and reached out to Wesley for a quote to redo our backyard. Wesley…read morewas very kind to come out to check out our yard and listen to our needs before giving us a fair and reasonable quote. We decided to go with him after he provided us with a contract detailing all the work that his company would be doing. Wesley was very responsive and his crew worked extremely quickly finishing all the work within a week. The work included scrapping of all the debris and having it hauled away, installing additional drainage throughout the yard to tie into the existing drain, installing rebar and pouring of the concrete. They finished off with brushing of the new concrete to blend into the existing concrete we already had. We also had Wesley's team install high quality, non-toxic and pet friendly turf which was installed professionally. We highly recommend Aloha Concrete and will be back for any future yard needs!

We were nervous but Wesley reassured us that everything would be ok and came often to check on the progress.

They were timely, arrived when scheduled, and very professional. I would recommend Aloha Concrete who need any hardscape installed.

He also created documents to submit to our HOA for approval, and he was able to make changes quickly when needed. Victor and the crew were on time, efficient, and timely with the work. It was greatly appreciated that everything was washed down and cleaned by the crew at the end of each day. They were also able to make quick adjustments when our neighbor had some concerns with the hedges we wanted to plant. The scope of the work included adding a concrete pad, extending our concrete patio, planting privacy hedges with drainage and auto watering system, installing artificial grass with paver walkways, and adding pebbles along the exterior wall of our house. Since we have a soft watering system, we also had them install a separate line from the main. Overall, Caliscapes OC was professional, friendly, and accommodating. We even had one of the hedge plants not doing well. We reached out to Caliscapes OC to advise us on how to revive it, and they said they would replace it. We had a good experience and would recommend!
