From start to finish, Blake, the owner, was incredibly professional, communicative and patient. He took the time to walk us through the entire process, answered all our questions and offered helpful suggestions to ensure the best outcome. Blake, Elvis and team were all hard workers and really took pride in the job. It was clear that they knew exactly what they were doing and attention to detail was evident in the finished product. The concrete looks flawless, and aesthetically pleasing. The team was efficient, timely, and left the work site clean. We were impressed by how smoothly the project went, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Gold Star Concrete to anyone looking for quality work with great customer service. A huge thank you to Blake, Elvis and team for making our new concrete and home look amazing!

Ronnie owns the business and has been in the industry for decades. He has one crew of dedicated employees who provided superior demolition and installation. In addition, they cared for our property like they owned it. Once we saw a portion of it installed, we had a small, last-minute change. They were happy to make that change without any additional fees because they wanted us to be happy. I've never worked with such a flexible and dedicated contractor! You will not be disappointed if you go with North County Pavers!

Ronnie is very responsive to questions and concerns and definitely goes the extra mile. The work started as scheduled and his crew is outstanding.

I highly recommend North County Pavers and plan on using them again.

He gave me an incredibly fair proposal with an expedited timeline. Due to some construction issues, I am currently unable to move forward with the project, but he was gracious and kind despite the circumstances. I will absolutely be reaching out to him in the future to get some work done. Thanks Manuel!

Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.

Paublo and his team did a great job. We look forward to having them back to plant sone fruit trees.read more

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.

Our property is unusually challenging, with a large slope, multiple elevations, drainage, retaining walls, access, patios, and future landscaping all needing to work together. Greg's background as a landscape architect and his technical expertise really show in the level of thought and detail he brings to the project. His CAD drawings are meticulous, and he has an impressive ability to think several steps ahead, understand how one design decision affects everything else, and carefully plan the grading, elevations, drainage, walls, stairs, access, and landscaping as one cohesive design. Just as importantly, he has a great eye for beauty and has found ways to make a very technical project look natural and attractive. Greg has also been patient and thoughtful as our priorities and budget have evolved, continually refining the design while preserving the elements that matter most to us. Tony's 3D renderings have been very helpful in allowing us to visualize Greg's plans and see how the different levels and features will come together. We're nearing the end of the design phase and are excited to move forward with Western Pavers. We greatly appreciate the care, expertise, and attention to detail Greg has brought to our project and highly recommend him and the team.
