Words cannot express how impressed my wife and I were with Majestic Hardscapes. But we'll try...and…read morethe photos should help provide some context. After becoming first-time homeowners last year, we quickly built a wish list and began prioritizing projects. Solar and pool repair were must haves with summer approaching, and next on the list was getting rid of a decomposing wooden outdoor staircase with ridiculously oversized and hazardous wood block steps. After consulting with Bryan, we immediately felt confident in his approach and began a fun collaboration to update our property. As the project got underway it became apparent that a simple replacement with a different material wasn't sufficient. No, we imagined something grander -- which kept evolving -- and resulted in what can only be described as a work of art on our property where dirt and rotting wood once stood. Bryan's crew -- Benancio and company -- are a world-class team of builders and problem solvers. To this day, my wife and I can't believe our good fortune that we had this crew all to ourselves for the roughly month of time that the grand staircase, hundreds of feet of new pathway, additional patio expansion with a new gate, and front courtyard gazebo garden took for them to complete. We miss them! We won't miss them for too long, though, as we 100% plan on booking Majestic Hardscapes again for ambitious future ideas we dream up here at home around the property. Thank you for your care and concern for our home, guys. You are truly masters of your craft!

Bryan and his team have quality workmanship. Not only are they super humble and professional but…read morethey always informed us of the process on how the work would be done, if there would be any issues, and any suggestions regarding future plans. Even though the quote was not the lowest, it was reasonably priced and they were the only contractors that answered a lot of my concerns. I had several quotes from numerous contractors and all; expect Majestic Hardscape, just give me a price. This was concerning to me because we live on a hill and the side of our yard slopes. Every contractor just suggested laying concrete to the way it slopes so water would run off the hill. Bryan was the only one who suggested that this will need further attention, such as a retaining wall in the future otherwise it will just get worse over time. They were able to level the concrete the way we wanted and recommended us to eventually level the rest of the yard in the future. They even went out of their way to take some of our old stacking bricks and used them as a temp retaining wall to aid the sloped yard. I highly recommend Bryan and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future, thanks again Bryan!

After everything we've been through with our previous contractor, working with this hardscape…read morecompany has been an absolute breath of fresh air. From day one, they have made us feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their communication is second to none--they respond almost immediately, set up a family group chat to keep everyone informed, and are always available to answer questions. The renderings Gabriel creates are absolutely stunning, incredibly lifelike, and they offer unlimited revisions until everything is exactly right. The quality of their planning and attention to detail is exceptional. Tony immediately scheduled a meeting with the city inspector to build a relationship and ensure every aspect of the project is done correctly and up to code from the very beginning, which gave us tremendous confidence. The job site has been immaculate, the professionalism has been outstanding, and it's obvious this family-owned business truly takes pride in their work and their clients. We are still early in the project, but based on our experience so far, they have exceeded every expectation. A true 10 out of 10 experience, and we would highly recommend them. I will post an update with pictures soon

Rivers Landscape is the best landscape and general contractor I have encountered in over 40 years…read more I interviewed 8 contractors and chose Rivers to do a major project at my home. Thank you to Cesar, Gus, Tony, Carlos, Gabriel, and all of the highly skilled workers who made my dream patio come true. One year ago, a terrible storm destroyed my pergola, kitchen counter, and Grill appliances. The Rivers team exceeded all of my expectations and created a masterpiece. They took care of the concept, all design details, the permit process, the coordination of suppliers and equipment, new utilities, and the installation. The work included installing a 30' X 30' Pergola, upgrading the outdoor wall lighting, creating a rose garden, new sod on the lawn, restoring the irrigation system, restoring the landscape lighting, and of course creating a new chef's kitchen. Their design recommendations were always on target and their estimated 6-week schedule from demolition to final clean up was accurate to the day. Everything they did was professional and high quality. We will enjoy our patio and kitchen for years to come and we highly endorse and recommend Rivers Landscape and Construction for any General Contracting. Juan R.

We shopped our project around to all of the local companies and after doing our research we chose Aviara Pavers and we are glad that we did. I can't say enough about how great it was to work with these guys. They made all the adjustments along the way as we progressed through our install. A ton of work went into making the entire thing happen and these guys did it like real craftsmen. The crew worked long days and made fast progress. The guys were always professional, friendly and approachable for questions / concerns. I couldn't have asked for better communication between Daniel and myself throughout the progress. They earned these 5 stars !

He explained to me that they only provide this service to clients that they have provided turf for. He then went on to refer me to two landscape companies near my home where we could purchase the infill and the broom to do the maintenance ourselves. He willingly spent about ten minutes helping me, and was so friendly and nice. When we are ready to have more landscape work done, I will definitely be calling Install It Direct.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

A Contractor You Can Trust…read more In my last review, I mentioned that the Plumbing Company had to dig a trench in the courtyard. Now I will tell you about who reconstructed the courtyard. After the big mess in the courtyard, I had to find a company to reconstruct the courtyard, who better than the company which originally built the courtyard? Cesar Jimenez is not only one of the contractors which I work with, but he is one of the best contractors in San Diego County. Cesar is the contractor who originally built the courtyard (read my past review about C&R Pavers). To the detail, Cesar built this work of art, exactly according to my specifications & design. I don't post photos because I don't want people to copy my designs. I am an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist & Cesar passed my test; therefore, once more I hired him to fix his own work of art! I called Regina (The Better Half & the R of C&R Pavers) to send Cesar (The Worst Half & the C of C&R Pavers) to my estate to fix this mess. Even though they are busy with big jobs, but she made room to take care of me, after all, no job is too small for them. Big job, small job, they will make you happy. Fastest Contractor this Side of Rio Grande As I stated in my previous review of C&R, Cesar is the "Fastest Contractor this Side of Rio Grande" (literally). I granted him that title & I even refer to him as "Speedy Gonzales"! He is my only contractor who actually finished the job ahead of the schedule! This time, he could not break his record, but it is not his fault. It is the rainy season & the rain delayed his work. They had to stop work when the rain started. So, Cesar came over with 2 of his best workers & started on the job. For big jobs, Cesar drops 10 workers to finish the job fast (like originally building my courtyard) but for this job, he only needed 2 workers. Cesar ordered the Angelus Pavers from Rialto, California. In one & half days (before rain started) the workers finished the paving. After the rainy days, on the third day of work, to make it up to me (due to the delays), Cesar came over himself & he re-sanded, pact, swept, cleaned & sealed the pavers himself. I could not ask for a better worker. The boss himself had done the finishing touches. In my previous review of C&R, I vastly explained about their quality & system of work. Over here, I only state that C&R Pavers works speedy, hard, clean & hands you a detailed finished job. I hire a lot of contractors, but until this day, Cesar is one of my best contractors. As usual, he stood up to his reputation & fine work. It was good to see Cesar again & it was the correct choice to hire C&R. For outdoor construction from patios, driveways, grill islands, full kitchens, pool deck pavers, fireplaces, fire pits, pillars, columns, walkways, all the way to building complete front courtyard (as he built for me), C&R Pavers is the best construction company to work with. Why you ask? Fast work, clean work, detailed work & reasonable prices. You can't beat that. I know I can always count on Cesar to do a perfect job for me, you can do too.

I had C and R Pavers install a new driveway system about 7 years ago…read moreThey did a good job. I recently noticed a tree root disturbing my driveway so wanted them to repair it and also decided for them to clean and reseal the area. Caesar came out and said the process should take 5 days and and went into great detail all they things they needed to do. Wash sand remove stains fill seal etc. He quoted $5500 and said he'd need the week to get everything done. They showed up Monday at 7:30 2 guys and Caesar. He stayed the first hour the 2 guys were done at 1:30 , Caesar came back and said they were done for the day- They all left by 2 pm. Day 2 Caesar showed up at 9 am and started sealing the area with his spray can- took 1.5 hours . at 10:30 am called and told me he was done. . So 2 men -7.5 hours each and Caesar 2.5 /3 hours total- giving the benefit of the doubt - 18 hours total- Bid 5500 over 300 per hour per person. When I asked about his week forecast that became a little over a day of actual work. Caesar informed me of all the things that could have gone wrong but didn't . Bottom line his description was the lowest price he ever for clean and sealing driveways is 6500 so I was getting a deal. Totally disagree , I was taken advantage of , in my 70's this is elder abuse. Bottom line be very careful with C and R - not sure they're all they should be. I should have gotten multiple bids but thought as a repeat customer they'd take care of me - Boy did they. I will admit the work was good but WAY TO EXPENSIVE. Very disappointed !!!!!

Their pricing was very competitive, which was a huge plus, but what really stood out to us was how easy they were to work with. Communication was always easy, and they were quick to answer questions and help us work through decisions. There are SO many decisions that go into a backyard project, and we really appreciated having their input and direction when we weren't sure what would look or work best. They were also incredibly flexible. We made changes along the way (because of course we did!), and they were always willing to work with us and figure things out without making it a big deal. The crew was fantastic and worked incredibly hard. Everyone from Mario, Client Relations Manager, working with us on the design and bid to Carlos, Project Manager, to the entire crew were respectful, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work. A project this big can definitely be stressful, but Primescapes made it so much easier than we expected. We love our backyard and are so happy we chose them!
