amazing transformation by Liquid Coating Designs. After meeting with a few different coating companies, we ultimately decided on LCD for several reasons. 1) They are the only coating company that actually specializes in stone coatings. This was extremely important for us. 2) Their customer service is beyond amazing and professional! Prepare to be blown away! 3) From when you are first greeted over the phone to when you first meet with a team member, everyone is very informative, helpful, and extremely accessible. I never had to wait long for someone to get back to me for any question or anything. Once the project started, the foreman checked in every day, and answered all of our questions throughout the process (and we had a lot!). The crew was here on time every single day, and worked hard to give us the pool deck of our dreams. Our crew chief Diego was so incredibly talented. We were in awe watching him carve the designs and blend the colors by hand. After being burned by other contractors, and met with a lot of disappointment, we had lost hope until we came across this company. They are family owned and operated, stand by every wors they say. Best decision we've made an a long time and we will definitely be referring all of our friends and family to this company! We couldn't be more pleased!

Ten years ago we hired LCD to transform our newly purchased home's HUGE backyard that has a pool deck and patios. Pavers and concrete were insanely expensive so we decided on LCD. They did a fantastic job then. Fast forward a few years, we had them do touch ups and sealing. Again, fantastic experience. We live in hilly area and wear and tear took a toll like any hardscape would. Come 2023/2024, we decided it was time to do a complete refresh and update the color palate. The amazing Charlie came out and assessed what needed to be done - repair settling areas, replacing mastic joints, etc. The lovely Irlanda was accommodating and communicative. They worked with our timeline and waited for our go ahead. Enter Cheshvan (aka Ches) and his partner (sorry didn't get his name). They worked for 2 weeks with skill and professionalism. They showed up every day at the same time and even came on a Saturday to complete the job. Ches was simply amazing. He gave us continual updates on timeline and shared what to expect each day. We shared pictures of colors we liked from the LCD website and he created sample areas where we could select the colors and pattern. As a side note, we had just completed an addition and major renovation on the house and had a VERY difficult and painful experience with other contractors who were messy, not reliable and did sub par work. (Our PTSD was real, and if you've ever done construction, perhaps you can relate.) Ches restored our faith in skilled workers who were professional and ethical. He is a true artist with such a kind and humble nature. Thank you Charlie, Irlanda, Cheshvan and partner for giving us a beautiful space that was pain free and enjoyable. We LOVE you guys.

We wanted to get our backyard patio replaced because it was showing age. After getting several quotes that were very high, we called Liquid Coating Designs. They came in with a different solution that was significantly cheaper. It also looked so much better. The design is amazing. We even had them do a retaining wall as well as our pool coping. This brought our backyard all together in a seamless design. The team took their time and did everything right. They were clean and they are truly artists. We are so pleased. We actually have a situation here where the least cost was the best solution. Cannot recommend them strongly enough.

Work in progress

We found out about this "AMAZING" company in a home improvement magazine. Gave them a call to request a quote. Charlie(owner)came to our home for a in-depth tutorial about Liquid Coating. Our pool decking was stamped concrete that we had for about 20 years, it had cracks and quite faded. It needed a facelift hence, we hired Liquid Coating to do there magic! We had the pleasure of working with Irlanda. The project was slated for October, but we got pushed up to September-Yay! Orlando and his team, Gabino and Jose began what would be a two week project. Gabino and Jose were such hard workers, showed up on time, they were always respectable of us and our home. At the end of their work day, they cleaned up so meticulously that you wouldn't know we had a project going on. Gabino had to get creative working around the pool edge...he is a MacGyver for sure . He placed a piece of wood in the deep end of the pool, a makeshift scaffold, if you will, because he had to get in the water. Very creative! They finished the project within two weeks. Our decking is absolutely "stunning!" We are super happy with the finished project. Charlie and his staff are just wonderful people! Irlanda was easy to communicate with, super sweet! Orlando was very nice. He periodically came to check on how the project was coming along. We genuinely enjoyed Gabino and Jose. We appreciated them very much. If you're looking to beautify your home's exterior, hire Liquid Coating Designs. They are not just contractors they are professional ARTISTS!! Thank you to all at Liquid Coating Designs!

After

If we could give 7 stars, we would! My wife and I are so incredibly happy we called on Liquid Coating Designs. Charlie - the owner - started the process with a visit to our home, describing his unique techniques, chemistries and artistry. Then, our crew of Orlando, Gavino and Juan worked under the hot sun and delivered! They not only salvaged our tired 43 year old aggregate pool decking, they turned it into a real showpiece! Just unbelievable how great things look now and what it did for our back yard. Thank you Charlie and your team.... we are forever grateful!!

We are very pleased with the work that was done at our house. Orlando, the supervisor, and his team provided excellent work and customer service. They would create various cement sample boards and grout colors to determine exactly what we would like as a final product. In our initial research and consideration, we weren't sure if this would look good or be done well over existing concrete. However after having them come over to give a free estimate, and offer insights and suggestions on how best to do and look, we decided to proceed. To our amazement, the final work product was great! We couldn't be happier. We feel like we now have a brand new backyard. After we saw how great the backyard looked, he had them do the front walkway as well! We spend more time in the backyard now with the new floor that makes it more inviting. Our neighbors and friends love how it looks and have also contacted them to do their houses. From a person who doesn't usually write reviews, I just wanted to give a big shout out to liquid coating designs for their excellent work and customer service. It was well worth doing this versus ripping out all the old concrete.

Back patio

I first reached out to Liquid Coating Designs (LCD) over 20 years ago. I was looking for a solution to replace the aggregate cement that was all around the pool, back and front walkways. The aggregate was hard on the feet. I considered pavers but that would involve tearing out all the cement all around the pool and the house and the cost was prohibited for me. I also needed to add drainage around the side of the house which would involve building a retaining wall. After several bids for cementing and pavers, I thought there was no way I could afford to do half of what I needed to accomplish, but life has a way of presenting solutions. I found Liquid Coating in one of these Home magazines you get in the mail and was intrigued because their solution did not involve any tear out. After making an appointment with Liquid Coating Designs, Charlie showed up explained the entire process, no pushy sales pitch, just straight honest suggestions and consultation. Soon after his team began work at our house. Orlando managed the team and Gabino was the master painter and both worked in tandem, seamlessly. I was amazed as I watched the guys do their work, they were like artists, taking their time, working on every stone, making sure it blended and fit like a masterpiece. The stones looked so real and gave the pool area and surrounding walkways, a boost of color and an inviting look. The retaining wall they built, matches the current retaining walls around the pool area so well, that you can't tell the difference. These guys are truly masters of their trade. Fast forward to this year. We had major drainage problems under our home which led us to install French drains around the entire house. This involved tearing out most of the front and back yard, the deck, outdoor grill area and some areas around the pool. The construction was a major ordeal and lasted over five months. We were left with open areas where the deck used to be and we were completely overwhelmed around what to do next. Installing pavers was an option but then it would not match the Liquid Coating areas by the pool and the paver solution we considered, was too expensive. We reached out to LCD and Charlie came to meet with me. In my overwhelmed state, Charlie helped me review all the options available, whether it was pavers, simply cement or Liquid Coating. Again, no pushy sales pitch, just honest suggestions. The decision was made to go with Liquid Coating, and again, that has turned out to be the best decision/investment. The crew fixed, refinished and sealed all the damaged areas, left by the construction and also tried to make the new areas left by the demolition of the deck and grill space, closely match the design and color of the existing Liquid coating design by the pool and walkways. This was hard to do. After the work was completed, I could still differentiate between the new areas and the old, so I reached out to Liquid Coating again, spoke with Irlanda, who by the way is extremely accessible and helpful. She got me on the schedule soon after and sent Gabino out to touch up the areas. Again, Gabino was punctual, listened to my concerns and put his artistry at work. In a few days, all was done to my satisfaction. I can't say enough about Liquid Coating Design, it's refreshing, especially during Covid times, to have a company answer your call, listen to your needs and help you with a solid, no nonsense solution. I get complements all the time about the work that they have done, it looks so much like real stone that seasoned contractors have commented how they thought the stones where real. As for me, I happy to have found an affordable solution that looks so darn good! If you are thinking about doing any concrete resurfacing projects small or large, I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs, not only do they do and excellent job, they are one of the few contractors that I have hired that show up on time, pay attention to details, are extremely responsive to my needs and reasonably priced. Thank you Liquid Coating Designs Team!

Our home was, built in the early 1960's. The backyard patio, driveway, and surrounding sidewalks were exposed aggregate. Over time, the cracks in the drive way and sidewalks become unsightly and we had to either rip it all out and replace it with new concrete or use Liquid Coating Design. Our neighbors used this company to redo their back patio and around the pool. I was blown away on the outcome. We had a quote and made a $500 deposit to get on their work schedule. If we had second thoughts, we could have canceled before the work started and get our $500 deposit returned. No risk. We were scheduled for about 3 weeks out. The workers showed up on day one to prep the surfaces. They treated the back patio and the driveway as two separate projects, as it was a lot of square footage. They pressure washed the aggregate, very strong water pressure. Over the next 6 weeks we had three workers (sometimes two) working from 7 AM to 4:00 every weekday. Their work is tedious, which makes sense. They are artisans. They made 4 sample boards about 2' x 4' with different designs and textures. We selected a large flagstone. For the cracks in the driveway and sidewalks, the use about 1/2 rebar, bent in to the shape of a large staple. They drill holes into the concrete and a 1/2 channel to accept the staple. They must have put 25 not he whole property. This was genius. Once the overlay was put down, they wait a bit, and then go back with pads to kneel on a carve in the desired design. After some other tedious cleaning the seems, they will apply the color of your choice. Once they added the color, we saw that the larger area would require a darker color and they went back and added more color to darken some stones. They did so without hesitation. After a few days, they add a sealer which makes the color come to life. They were able to cover the concrete and brick that was a landing in front of our doors. I find the sealer also allows me now to blow the area clean or hit it with the hose and cleans much easier. My wife and I are 100% pleased with the outcome and the work these artisans performed. I can't image what we would have turned up if we had jackhammers to remove the old concrete and pour new concrete. I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs.

Orlando and Jesús did a great job on my 29 stairs. They removed the plaster layer and resurfaced the concrete. They presented various color and style options and communicated very well throughout the job. They were on-time, did not try to upsell or expand the scope and finished as expected. Would definitely recommend them.

Driveway and stairs.

I should have called Liquid Coatings Designs right back when they promptly returned my call in September. Instead we met with at least six other companies who wasted our time. From the initial consultation with Irlanda to meeting with Orlando and watching Ricardo and his crew over 3.5 weeks, we cannot say enough about the quality, workmanship, communication and overall awesome experience. Every step of the way we were consulted, all our questions were answered and the backyard, driveway and stairs could not be more beautiful. Orlando checked in almost daily, Irlanda followed up, they redid the sample boards until we were completely happy and just made the entire process enjoyable. I would recommend them 100% and without reservation.

See all

Josue and his team provided a very thoughtful plan with every detail in the contract, and swiftly finished the whole project in less than 2 weeks. The whole job includes quite some digging to implement 2 underground water pipe systems that navigate all the way to 30ft away from the house, plus additional gutter downspout installation. Besides, Josue assured 100% customer satisfaction: he is super active during the whole process, almost visiting the site himself everyday, and answered every single of my question( I asked a lot of questions based on my research and he was so patient to take care of them). Moreover, I insisted the plan to be changed in the middle of the work because I discovered other potential concerns with this old house, but Josue did not hesitate to change the plan per my ask and even voluntarily lowered the agreed price due to less work performed in the new plan. I would definitely work with he and his team again!

They also carved out a lovely hillside with custom stairs, a spacious terrace, and game trails perfect for enjoying the view. LEI works with YesPlease.Garden (YPG) who managed the design process and Fresh Coat Restoration who completed the new fence. The partnerships were well integrated and it felt like working with a single team. See my Google Maps review for more on YPG. We are very happy with our project and would recommend LEI because they were professional, courteous, reliable, and provided clear and upfront pricing. Documenting decisions in writing proved helpful for keeping everyone on the same page. Any problems we had were resolved fairly, such as correcting the direction of our stairs. Aaron is a man of his word but prefers to conduct most of his business through texting. We first contacted LEI and they promptly scheduled a time to visit our property with YPG to see what was possible within the budget we set out. We completed the design with YPG and LEI scheduled a time for the project demolition. A later approximate time for planting was set, but that was dependent on the availability of the various plants we had selected. Everything scoped in the design was completed within the budget and any add-ons we later requested were priced separately and fairly.

After deciding to remove our pool, we hired Aaron as the installer for our new landscape project, and we are so glad we did. For months, work was moving forward almost every day, from demolition prep and grading to hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, fencing, pergola installation, pebble work, and the finishing touches. The quality of the work was excellent throughout. The paver patio, carport, and front entry all turned out beautifully, and the plants, irrigation, and lighting were installed with great care. We were especially impressed by the rock and pebble work, particularly the dry creek and front mow strip. The mix of stone sizes gave everything a natural, detailed, and polished look that really elevated the final result. Aaron also has a strong eye for detail. He regularly caught things that needed adjustment, even when we had not noticed them ourselves, and he stayed focused on getting everything right. While there were some issues that delayed finishing the project, Aaron took responsibility and worked with us to make them right, which we truly appreciated. In the end, what matters most is that we are thrilled with the outcome. Our yard feels beautiful, welcoming, and complete, and we look forward to years of enjoying it.

We've been through the whole process of getting quotes and browsing through Yelp for contractors and I can definitely say that the next time we have a landscaping project come up, we're going straight to Jeff. We received 5 estimates for our backyard - from companies large and small - and Jeff was the only one who actually listened to what we wanted and then gave thoughtful suggestions based on his expertise and actually had a vision for the space. Nearly every other company asked what we wanted but never asked any follow up questions or showed any interest in providing an expert opinion. That would be fine if I was a landscape architect and a botanist but... I'm not!! Jeff is extremely valuable not only for the high quality work that he and his team does, but for the knowledge and expertise that he brings to the table, and the fact that he actually CARES. Early on in the estimate process I mentioned to Jeff that we recently had a baby and that part of my motivation for updating our backyard was to make the space more functional as a fun play space for our son as he grows up. Jeff constantly tweaked the design and approach to accommodate this ultimate goal for the space. He purposefully laid out the plants and trees so that our son could run through the landscape once it grows in (which is tricky because the hillside is steep), he brought in extra boulders to give him something to climb up on and jump off of, and consciously steered us away from any poisonous or dangerous plants. Now, with the design that Jeff laid out, we are so so excited to see our son enjoy the backyard for years to come!! I should also mention that I have strong opinions when it comes to the design and layout of our home which made Jeff's approach even more impressive. Jeff seamlessly blended his professional opinion with my particular ideas and desires which made for a really enjoyable and collaborative experience; and ultimately a final product that we are VERY happy with! I don't usually write Yelp reviews (ever really) but our experience with Jeff was so positive that I felt compelled to write one here. That should say it all!
