We purchased a home with a huge backyard and so much potential -- but it was completely overgrown,…read moreand it was hard to envision what could truly be done with the space. From the moment I reached out to Pat, we connected right away. He is incredibly knowledgeable about landscape design, layout, and all things plants. He really helped us see what was possible. Pat then introduced us to Ricardo, who is the expert in hardscape, mechanical work, and overall execution. Ricardo and his team worked tirelessly to demo our backyard. Once it was cleared, we finally saw how much usable space we truly had -- and we even uncovered a view! We were so pleased with the entire process -- from design to execution -- and absolutely love the end result. Working with Pat and Ricardo was seamless, professional, and collaborative. We're already looking forward to having them transform our front yard next. We highly recommend Universal Pavers for anyone looking to reimagine their outdoor space!

We started off by calling for an estimate. Pat came over and reviewed our design plans, listened…read moreto our concerns, shared many great suggestions, and then gave us a reasonable quote for our backyard project. His knowledge of plants is extensive, and he also helped us with many practical design elements. Ricardo and his crew worked very hard in transforming our yard. They put in a drainage and irrigation system, a PVC deck with lighting, paver patios, artificial grass, and a variety of plants. His attention to detail and getting things right even when it added to his labor and material costs was appreciated. The quote was more reasonable than 2 other quotes and there were no "surprise and add-on costs." We are very happy with the high quality of the work, the affordable cost, and the beautiful result of the project and highly recommend Pat & Ricardo with Universal.

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.

Working with Steve and his team was an amazing experience from start to finish. Steve, the owner,…read moreis truly great. He's professional, honest and extremely knowledgeable. He genuinely cares about the quality of his work, took the time to explain every detail with us and offered his helpful suggestions. He delivered exactly what we envisioned and it really made the whole process feel effortless. The workmanship is top notch. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, kept everything clean and delivered exactly what they promised. Our new turf/pavers turned out beautifully and completely transformed the space. It truly added so much value and curb appeal to our home. If you want great communication, high-quality work, and a company that genuinely cares. Lamorinda Pavers is the one. Steve is fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend!!!!!

Great work! They went above and beyond. We had a concrete patio installed 10 years ago and the…read morecolor and finish was worn away, it had moss and black lichen growing in it and looked dreadful. I wasn't sure if it could be restored. Steve and Randy did wonders and it looks brand new! They cleaned all the moss, staining and black lichen. It was very resistant and they went above and beyond pulling out all of the stops to get all the black spots removed. Then when they applied the normal two coats of color restorer and finish, our patio was still not looking great. They came back and did more work and and applied a third coat and now it looks like it did the day it was installed! I can't recommend Lamorinda Pavers highly enough. Quality work, integrity, and pride in a job well done. They won't stop until it is just right!

Gabriel created a backyard design rendering that was spot on to what we were looking for (we previously met with a different designer from another company and their design was not as good). The installation of the hardscape went smoothly and faster than we expected. Gabriel and his team are professional, responsive and easy to work with. They have relationships with other professionals (pergola installers, landscapers), which helped bring the backyard design to life.

It is about 6 feet deep, has jets attached to the pool, and has a metal as well as cement structure. In addition to the pool itself, there was a shed full of pool equipment, including motors, pool filter, and heater. The owner (Raphael) came by, examined the area, then sent me a reasonable quote followed by the contract. BBP quickly obtained the necessary permits and, as promised, two weeks later I was contacted with a removal date of the following week. The work was completed in two days by four workers who were polite, efficient, and skilled. They were very careful with my property and the cleanup was impeccable. Everything was left in much better shape than I expected. From start to finish, every interaction I had with BBP was positive and professional. I have engaged countless businesses and people to work on my properties over the last 40 years and can say, without reservation, that this was the best experience I've had. I cannot recommend BBP highly enough.

Bayside Pavers was fantastic to work with! I was referred to by Kris Lee from a friend who had used…read moreBayside to transform their backyard. For my project we were looking to replace our yucky inconsistent crabgrass lawn area with artificial grass. Kris came out to walk through our project late last year and quickly came back with a beautiful design and bid. I had received a few other bids, but Kris's design was by far the most thoughtful and gave my kids more square footage of play area. I had to put the project on hold in January due to some life factors, but called him back in early Feb to get going. Kris quickly came back out with samples, confirmed the project design and price and about a week later the project started! Kris brought the 2 Project Managers over in person to meet me a few days before we started. Pablo managed the project on side and great to work with. His crew was friendly, respectful of our space, (cleaning up each night, closing our gates, taking away trash) and super efficient! The project went so fast and was done in just 3 full days (I was prepared for 4-7). Throughout the project it was also super easy to ask questions, get updates via the text group the office set up. This made it super easy when I was't sure who it reach out to for what. We absolutely love our new lawn! I would highly recommend Bayside Pavers and their crews!
