We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We got a new driveway with pavers installed back in 2023. It turned out great and we enjoyed…read moreworking with the owner Nate. We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

Not sure how Hulu is getting so many 5 star reviews based on our experience…read more Communication: non-existent. Had to follow-up multiples times just to secure a consultation. Service: lacking as well. Showed up to our home and we had to repeat exactly what / where the problem areas were. Upon inspecting, didn't consult, but rather hastily left even without an idea of next steps. It's been two weeks now since the in-person consult and we still haven't received a follow-up or estimate. Sure, Hulu's work may be sound, but we will not be working with this company as there are better options out there if communication and service are important to you.

I just wanted to give another huge shoutout to Intuitive Landscaping Company. This morning, my mom…read morecalled me in a total panic because our sump pump had completely stopped working (darn redwood frawns!). We ended up with a flooded garage and basically a mini-lake forming around the house. It was a mess! I called Muneer from Intuitive Landscaping, and he was absolutely incredible. He was literally about to head off on a trip, but he dropped everything to come over and help us out. He even called in Victor, who came in on his day off to replace the sump pump, get all the water out, and just take care of the entire situation for us. Honestly, it's so rare to find a company that genuinely cares this much about their customers. I just want to say a big thank you to the whole Intuitive Landscaping team. If anyone needs any landscaping or outdoor work done, I can't recommend them enough!

Oscar and his team were always very respectful, communicative and helpful. Two additional important things to call out: 1. Oscar was really helpful in ideating and providing suggestions as our plan was not 100% locked in. 2. Oscar was open to changing some items even after work had started. Overall couldn't be more thrilled with how the project turned out.

I understand they need clearance for trucks, but I had *just* paid Ponderosa $1125 to trim that very tree, fixing PG&E's previous hack job. You're pavers, not arborists. If you need trimming done, tell me in advance and I'll get it done right. Then, they used illegal gas-powered leaf blowers to shoo leaves off the street: lazy, against the law, and passive-aggressive, as they blew these leaves directly into our driveway--twice. They could've used a leaf vacuum truck or a Black-n-Decker leaf vacuum. They also left two open bottles of chemical slurry (generated from their job) on my neighbor's median strip for several weeks. Any animal or transient could have ingested or knocked over this liquid. Finally, they tore all my posters advertising our driveway concert off my tree, my neighbor's tree, and two street signs. Their micro- and macro- aggressions, disrespectfulness, boorishness and block-headed behavior will not be forgotten.

My cherry interior of a boat is now covered in filth and I am the one who gets to clean it. When he put it back on the driveway from the hill, he dropped the items on the swim platform right off the side into the dirt and left it there. Careless and pathetic. Personally wish he would cover a cleaning on my boat and apologize for being unprofessional with a valuable asset of mine.

Maicon took all the twists and turns in stride and delivered an eye-poppingly gorgeous project. My neighbors keep stopping bye to rave about the huge curb appeal improvement since we installed paving stones in our driveway, backyard, car park and walkway. For such an expensive project, finding a contractor that you trust and will flex to your changing preferences as a job progresses is incredibly important. Maicon as the owner and Will as the super on the job kept up informed and at ease throughout the week of construction. Stop searching for the right installer and just call Solo Paver Experts now.

Great design and installation of tasteful spotlights, mushroom lights, and some custom lights in the paver patterns. The Black Diamond team workers were fast, clean, organized, courteous, and their craftsmanship was excellent and the finished front of the house was a very custom and professional job. They were also flexible, which is probably most important. It now has a very modern, Tuscan look. What a transformation from cracked concrete! The neighbor dropped by, was amazed, and said: sign me up too! Definitely would recommend. It turned out better than we had imagined.

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

I would HIGHLY recommend using Dago Garcia's team for either regular yard maintenance, or any yard project you have in mind. Dago has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing- he is super friendly and helped us with great ideas. Give Dago a call!
