I can't share enough positive things about Steve and the crew at Avon…read more Our home is relatively old for the area and has a specific look and feel. After seeing some stone work at a friends in Lamorinda we were referred to Steve and Avon and the work didn't disappoint. They were 100% on target with the style, their bid (when was the last time you didn't have to do a change order?!) and their layout and leveling recommendations. Also, and very importantly, the crew was always on time, patient with parking challenges, gracious and open to engage. The lead onsite took detailed notes, and the team was methodical and diligent. We have them coming back for two more projects and would refer them first for stone and masonry work. Project: front retaining wall customer cut around coast live oak roots. Back path with steps and landing in pavers, pergola patio leveled and filled with cross hatch brick, back patio in pavers with customer cut edging for grass, brick retaining wall and leveling for new sod, hothbub pad and walls customer cut to fit tub, planter box in pavers. They nailed the whole thing. So good.

We have used Avon Construction twice to build a total of 3 retaining walls. The first one was an…read moreengineered retaining wall after a landslide on our property. The second was a wall we shared with our neighbors for our shared road. The third was a wall to wrap around our property to protect our house from any future landslides. Each time, everything about the process was FANTASTIC. Steve and Kristin were so accommodating, comforting, and communicative. The walls are absolutely stunning--we get comments about how nice they are all the time. Steve is a really nice guy--he is genuine, knowledgeable, honest, and he had an understanding that the work he is doing is a significant financial investment for us and so concerns are handled compassionately, with utmost patience. Steve's crew is full of respectful, considerate individuals who leave the worksite in excellent condition each time (and I have high standards!). Kristin's prompt communication was excellent (as was Steve's) and we were very pleased that with each project, the quote was accurate. When there was dump fees (I think for soil--but not sure--they had to hire trucks), we were informed well ahead of time and told why, and even then, we prepared for the fees, and they came in under budget. We cannot recommend Avon more highly--budget willing, we would use them again and again!

Victor and his team really came to the rescue in our driveway project. We wanted to widen our…read moredriveway but there is a gas line and massive tree roots in the area that needed to be excavated. Due to the difficulty and risk involved for excavation, it was hard to find a contractor to take on the job but from my initial consult with Victor, him and his team noted their experience with these scenarios and he was confident they can do it in less than a day. On excavation day they brought the necessary equipment and tools and were very cautious about the gas pipe. They ended up finishing the job in less than a half day! To follow up, we realized we needed more excavation at the apron of the driveway and Victor again came to the rescue and excavated that for us a week later. I sincerely appreciate the time efficiency and skill that Victor and his team have in getting our excavation needs completed. I highly recommend Victor and his team and will always reach out to him first when we need more excavation for future projects. Thanks Victor!

He had the best advice, "No one ever has too much concrete" and he was right. We ended up doing the side yard as well and LOVE IT! Adam ran the job and he is wonderful. The crew was super punctual and hard working. There was lots of laughter and joking so we could tell they liked working with each other. The job was reasonably priced, timely, communication was on point, everything was great. I'd use them again!

I highly recommend this company. They have the professional integrity and work ethic to stay until the job is done right.

Green Planet Landscaping has earned a Five-Star rating for their installation of the artificial…read morelawn in our father's front yard. The natural grass was hard to maintain, since the sprinklers were not functioning properly, but the artificial lawn has vastly improved the curb appeal of our father's property. Without increasing estimated costs, Green Planet Landscaping surprised us with an additional amenity that actually rectified an issue raised by the local HOA. Thus, we are 110 percent satisfied with their service. Inasmuch as I live several hours away from Brentwood and Discovery Bay, I did not have the pleasure of meeting Alan in person. However, our communications were very effective and I am delighted to have completed this task as our father's Power-of-Attorney.

When moving to the city of Oakley, our home is a new construction so our backyard is all dirt and…read morewe had to submit an approval to the HOA. After living in our home for a year, it was time to redesign our backyard. I submitted a price quote request on Yelp and received a few responses to schedule a consultation. After meeting with other landscape companies, my choice was to go with Alan at Green Planet Landscape. It wasn't just about the price quote, but Alan's thoughtful ideas and recommendation made us trust him even more with the project. He would make sure our backyard would look amazing and presentable. He drew a sketch design for us to submit to the HOA. After we got an approval from the HOA for the project, Alan scheduled us within a few days. Alan first introduced me to Angel to have him do a walkthrough around the backyard. We had them install stone walls, pavers, artificial turf, and planter beds. The project lasted about 3 days and they did a fantastic job on transforming our backyard. My wife is so in love with plants and was very happy they planted her plants in the soil. Our dogs were so excited and love playing on the turf. I would highly recommend Green Planet Landscape. We finally are comfortable to contact them in the near future.

Carrillo's Concrete was the first Yelp-guaranteed contractor who responded to my request, and quoted a flat price which was under what other non-guaranteed contractors quoted. They maintained communication with me throughout the process, even when we had a rain delay, and came out to do the work on the next clear day. Four and a half hours later, we had a nicely repaired walkway with aggregate that was almost a perfect match for our existing walkway. We'll always be able to tell that there's been a repair, but people who hadn't seen it before probably won't notice that it's been repaired. Carrillo's Concrete did a great job with this repair. We cannot recommend them more highly.

The price was within the range of other quotes as we always get 3 for any work we have done. Alvaro and his crew showed up on time and completed the job as agreed. They did an excellent job on our concrete with base rock, rebar & 4in thick concrete. He came back a few days later to remove the form boards and before he left, he was in the street sweeping up the concrete dust. Now that's service! From start to finish, he kept us informed via texts. He is bonded and insured and is very articulate (unlike others we interviewed). You get what you pay for. We will use Arias Concrete for all future jobs. We would rate him 10 stars if we could.
