Tarantino Masonry did a fantastic job creating a new driveway for us and his quote was lower than…read moreany of the other "big name" companies that we called. The space required some creativity to figure out the best way to make it work and Art did a great job explaining his ideas to us and how much everything would cost. He did such a good job that we asked if he could quote on doing another section of our yard before he finished the driveway. We were able to do both areas for less that what either of the other landscaping/masonry companies quoted us for just the driveway. Art also did a good job managing our expectations on timing and continued to answer questions after the job was done. I would definitely recommend Tarantino Masonry to any homeowner in the San Diego area.

Shafiaq Khouli and his SK Concrete team built on our back yard a 14' x 14' SPA niche including a…read more12' x 12' x 5" reinforced concrete pad, foundation, drainage, three sides surrounding half high retaining walls and embedded SPA electrical wiring conduit. They also installed footing drain (French drain) on the back retaining wall, backfilled with the usual gravel, crushed stone and covered the outside of the walls with installed paneled stone veneer. They also did the initial former structure demolition, debris hauling and the requested earth moving and other necessary small retaining walls reassembly. It sounds like an easy simple job but, believe me, it got complicated quite soon. Along the construction way, I was able to interact with the crew and bounce ideas and corrections which were followed to my customer satisfaction, resulting in more than a very acceptable final product. When the inevitable, beyond his control, the one odd crew helper misbehavior occurred on the job, this contractor immediately corrected it, got on top of the problem and smoothly and quickly we had no more of an issue here. He also facilitated for me the customer to bring my own tile / stone wall-caps products and installer guys, which ended doing a beautiful job we're very proud of. Pricing fair, not inexpensive. Job done acceptable, with your own (the customer) continuous supervision and being able to stop working crew's irreparable mistakes before they happened, however, the final product came out well built and functional as we imagined and expected, we are grateful for that. Thanks again to Shafiaq and SK Concrete for accepting working on our small home project and for including us in their busy commercial and industrial schedule.

Some clarifications:…read more -Equipment was stored on my property last job. Paying 2 man hours of labor for daily pick up of equipment that is already on project site makes no sense to me. -My agreed upon labor rates never included travel time. -SK concrete wanted to do second project without a written contract initially. When pressed by me to have a written contract, he initiated a different one than I had agreed upon. It is for these reasons I write this yelp review. I had hoped I had found a consistent, reliable concrete contractor who practices his or her trade using written agreed upon contracts in a timely manner for my present and future projects. Sadly, my opinion is that I haven't with SK Concrete.

We hired Shawn with Pacific Pavers & Walls to take our dumpy side yard and turn it into a viable…read moreoutdoor space. Our main intention was to get our boat off of the street and to utilize our side yard for boat parking and a potential outdoor patio. Shawn and his crew did wonders to create this amazing space. To preface the review, Shawn is a very busy man. So, to be fair, patience on your own job is a must when he's shuffling between sites. They will get the job done and they will do it well! He and his crew are very hard working and polite. They were also receptive to my many questions through the process. After the original estimate, there were no surprise additional costs in the process, which we appreciated! I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is a man of his word and he knows his trade. In fact, we had to put up a fence after the paver process and he promised to come back and finish the pavers and final cap around the fence. His promise of returning, without an additional cost, was met and very much appreciated. Now that we are done, we have so many random neighbors coming up to us and praising the look of the side yard. Pacific Pavers & Walls has delivered a major improvement to our house and the look of our neighborhood. Thank you very much!

He even contacted HOA directly for us because HOA was unresponsive when we contacted them. Things got done as promised, and we are happy with his services. Our driveway is now fixed and crack free.

It was a pleasure communicating with George and every member of his crew. George was very quick to respond to my text messages and answered all of my questions. He gave me good ideas when we first met to plan the project. He even got the project done a little ahead of schedule when I asked if he could get it done by a certain date. George has decades of experience and does very good quality work. The project cost was in line with what I researched it would cost and I thought it was a good value for all the work they did and the high quality. I highly recommend Primo Concrete.

A&F Concrete did an excellent job installing a 20' sidewalk and a very nice 5x5 foot masonry wall…read more As instructed, San Diego Buff concrete was used for the sidewalk. I was given an excellent variety of bricks/blocks to choose for the wall, and the one I chose was competently installed. I was pleased to note the block I chose would be sourced from RCP in Chula Vista, where I have been a regular customer. The two workers agreed to relocate the existing pavers for my reuse as part of the original job. I really appreciated that. Although I was in no hurry, the job was completed quite expeditiously with the exception of the iron gate, the installation of which was subcontracted (and reviewed separately). The final results please me immensely. A&F solved a major problem, and I recommend the company to all.

Diego and his team worked long days, and very efficiently -- like the highest level of efficiency that I've ever seen. The quality of work and reasonable price speaks for itself. I literally recommend MCID and Diego to anyone I know -- he is so, so good at his work. Overall, excellent communication, attention to detail, master-tradesman skills on leveling, grading, retaining wall, drainage, and tieing everything together. There is nobody better. Period.

Highly recommend! That could be the end of this review! But read on to find out why…read more We initially worked with a landscape architect. We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor. SD Paverscapes was one of three paver contractors we contacted. Luis was quick to respond and listened to our ideas. He provided us with a plan we loved and a price we could handle. The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.

He was extremely responsive during the entire process, great about adding his input and suggestions as needed, and very patient with us as we went back and forth on all the details.

No regrets going with Luis and will not hesitate to reach out to him when we want to start our next big landscaping project. Also a bonus that his estimate was much more reasonable than other companies we contacted.
