We recently hired Platinum Paving & Landscaping for a major project involving roughly 3,220 square feet of concrete driveway and epoxy patio work, and I couldn't be happier with the results. On a project of this scale, finding a contractor you can genuinely trust to deliver top-tier build quality without cutting corners is rare, but Edgar and his team delivered on every front. They managed to execute the job efficiently and move fast without ever making the work feel rushed. Edgar approaches every aspect of the build with a true "measure twice, cut once" mentality, ensuring every detail was carefully thought out well before the concrete was poured. What truly sets Edgar apart from other contractors is his transparency and client-first mindset. Rather than making unilateral calls or pushing options that benefit his own bottom line, he presented every decision with clear options and thoughtful pros and cons. He never nickel-and-dimed small adjustments or weaponized formal change orders just to inflate the bill. Additionally, his crew was exceptionally professional, courteous, and respectful. As a landlord managing a property with tenants on-site, this was invaluable. While many contractors disregard tenants because they aren't the paying client, Edgar's crew treated everyone on the property with complete respect and care. Platinum Paving offers remarkably competitive pricing, but more importantly, the value and quality of their craftsmanship far exceed the rate they charge. If you have a large-scale project, especially on a rental or multi-unit property, do yourself a favor and get a quote from Platinum Paving before making a final decision. I highly recommend them! read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Edgar and his team. We found Edgar through Yelp and Google and, after reading the reviews, he was actually the first and only person we contacted for our backyard renovation. From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable and confident, and we never felt the need to look elsewhere. Edgar was professional, consistent, patient, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. This was a big investment for us, and he took the time to answer questions, work within our budget, offer alternatives, and give thoughtful recommendations when we were unsure about certain decisions. His communication and customer service were excellent from start to finish. His crew was also wonderful to work with, respectful, hardworking, professional, and genuinely nice people. We truly enjoyed having them around during the project. Most importantly, the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with the final result and highly recommend Edgar and his team to anyone looking for backyard renovations. He clearly knows what he's doing and runs a great business. All the positive reviews are absolutely deserved. read more

Edgar and his crew at Platinum Paving were great. From start to finish they were professional, punctual and communicative. The job ended up being a bit more challenging than expected and they went above and beyond to execute. Highly recommend read more

Edgar and his team installed a brand-new sprinkler system and timer for our front yard, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very first visit, Edgar was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and explain our options. What I really appreciated was that he didn't just give us an estimate and disappear. Throughout the project, I saw him stop by multiple times to check on the progress, talk with his crew, and make sure everything was being done properly. The entire team was friendly, respectful, hardworking, and professional. I'll admit, when I saw sections of our beautiful St. Augustine grass being lifted and all the dirt from the digging, I got a little nervous. It was obvious that a lot of work was going into the project. But when they finished, I was honestly shocked. The grass looked amazing, the yard looked beautiful, and it was as if nothing had ever been disturbed . They even cleaned and washed down the surrounding concrete, leaving everything looking neat and spotless. You would never know how much work had gone into the installation. The new sprinkler system is working perfectly, and it's clear that Edgar and his team take pride in their work. If you're looking for reliable, professional irrigation or landscaping services in the Pasadena/Altadena area, I highly recommend Edgar and his team. We are extremely grateful for their hard work and couldn't be happier with the results. read more

We hired Platinum Paving to renovate our backyard. We bought this home that had brick planters full of dead plants, old rotting trees and dead tree trunks. We have a one year old and we envisioned a grass filled backyard for our little one to play in. Edgar came to meet us as we walked him through our vision. He was very reasonable with his timing and pricing. Once the work started, the turnaround time was quick! Edgar's team showed up on time each morning and worked tirelessly to meet a deadline. They did a lot of work and were always prompt. We are so happy with the finished product. We have more landscaping projects down the pipeline and we will definitely be using Platinum Paving again. Thank you Edgar! read more

We own a very old rental house that dates from 1906. From what we can tell, it has always had a substantial rainwater drainage problem in the back yard -- enough to cause flooding through the back door of the detached garage. Over the years we've had different contractors come out to the property, but we did not feel confident enough to commit to a work contract with any of them. After reading Platinum Paving & Construction's excellent customer reviews, we called for a consultation appointment with the company's owner, Edgar Sandoval. Edgar was professional from the start and easy to deal with. We hired him to install some concrete pads and walkways in such a way as to improve the backyard's drainage -- and we are very glad we did. Edgar even suggested improvements to our original plan that did not break the budget. Because of the excellent work he and his team have done, yes, we definitely do recommend Platinum Paving. read more

TOP TIER CONTRACTOR Short Review: There are three things you want most out of any contractor: 1) Ensuring your needs/requests are met, 2) Hyper-focused attention to detail, 3) Unequivocal reliability. Platinum Paving & Landscaping is all three and then some! Highly recommend this company for your landscaping needs. I'm even willing to have you message me directly for a reference. That's how good they are! Long Review: Contractors are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get. So I was determined not to get a bad piece of chocolate when I set out to find someone to help me realize a 5-year dream of having an outdoor kitchen and entertainment space. Our home footprint is too small for entertaining more than four people, so we need to rely on outdoor living space to be able to accommodate dinner parties and backyard BBQs. I put together a simple RFP with a few pictures of the current backyard and sent it to four contractors who all had 5-star reviews. It read: "Ideally, we'd like to create a simple outdoor kitchen, a sitting area with a fire pit, a small deck off the master bedroom, and *fingers crossed* an area to grow a few vegetables and fruits. We've tried to visualize how this would work, but could use some expertise to try and fit it all in." I wanted to make sure that we were able to fairly judge each proposal based on the same set of information and criteria, and each was given the same budget range as well. Platinum Paving & Landscaping was the third of the four contractors we met with. Edgar, the owner, met us right on time for the scheduled appointment and was very pleasant, professional, and friendly when we met him. Most importantly, he patiently listened as we explained our vision for how we wanted the backyard to look. He asked a lot of questions about how we would use it, what kind of activities we would be doing, and if we would be entertaining friends mostly or family. I thought that was a pretty insightful question because you actually need different set ups for family BBQs versus parties with friends. That was a good clue that he was really paying attention to our needs. Check! After the initial walk-through, he asked us to give him a moment while he walked the backyard on his own. I think he was visualizing what he thought might work. Then, after a couple of minutes, he walked back over to us and said "I have some ideas about how to transform this space for you. It will give you what you want and add value to your house as well. I want this job!" Folks, did you read that? HE ASKED FOR THE JOB! Sales 101! As a salesperson myself, I was impressed. Then he designed a backyard that was out of this world, and even included extra things we did not ask for, but that he anticipated we would want! After a few rounds of back and forth, voila! We had the perfect design, and he and his teams set out to build it. Edgar's contract was easy to read and understand, and reflected everything we'd discussed. There was no hidden fees, no pulling one over our eyes, no extra charges that we didn't agree to upfront. Check! His crew is top notch. They are professional, on time, courteous, and REALLY good at their job! Honestly, even though there were a few setbacks (e.g. they had to redo some shoddy plumbing work that we'd had done prior) they asked permission before doing any work, and ensured they got our ok to move forward with a pre-agreed upon price. (You might think that is common practice with contractors, but I assure you it is not.) Edgar ensured that at every single step of the process, no matter how small or large, he was there personally to check on progress and came to the house every morning to make sure things were progressing to our liking. If a measurement was off or didn't quite look right, he made them do it again. Folks, I've never worked with a better contractor or a better company before. Ever. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Platinum Paving & Landscaping. We are VERY happy with the way our yard turned out, and are excited to host parties for years to come! read more

Yes, I know - not possible that a landscape contractor has all five star reviews. Well, I can tell you from our experience that Edgar and his team should be rated 6 stars, not just five. The Platinum team were stellar on our backyard remodel - work was done efficiently, they cleaned up at the end of each day, the quality of the end product was top notch. All done at a fair price. Edgar checked on progress regularly to ensure his quality standards were being met (which they were). Will have them back to re-do our front yard in the near future. 100% recommend Platinum - really top notch business that cares for customers and doing the right thing. read more

I have been searching for a good certified landscaper for awhile for my backyard. When I came across the reviews of Platinum Paving Landscaping, I thought it was too good to be true with only 5 star ratings. I had to make the call to challenge them and see it for myself if they truly are a five star service provider. I spoke to Edgar, the owner who was very personable on the phone and he scheduled to come out to my house for an estimate right away. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and humble which all the qualities that I was looking for. From his meeting, estimates, details, customer service, attention to detail, and commitments I do rate his service as a top five star. Duration of the two week construction his entire crew were very hard working on their hands and knees even in extreme heat, showed up early in the morning for a full days work, and transformed my ugly old backyard in to a beautiful outdoor living space that my family will enjoy. I am looking forward to inviting family and friends over to enjoy the outdoor space finally. I rarely give a top five star ratings but for Edgar at Platinum Paving and Landscaping I am happy to write up this review immediately upon completion of the work and highly recommend him and his crew for any type of landscaping projects. Great work and cheers Platinum Paving & Landscaping. read more

I have been happy to refer neighbors and friends to Edgar and his team at Platinum Paving and Landscaping after having part of my backyard reworked. Edgar picked up my call and was able to schedule a consultation for the next day.

I am excited to see the space transformed in the spring when the shrubs, vines, and flowers really take shape! Thank you! read more

We hired Edgar and his team to do a complete revamp of our backyard and both sides of our house.

It was a huge job, but they worked quickly and efficiently. They also communicated well with us, so we always knew what was planned for the week. We highly recommend them! read more

I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to work with Edgar and Vanessa of Platinum Paving and Landscaping on a small concrete project. The work that they performed was done on time, on schedule, and at a reasonable price. Over the past 2 years since the Covid outbreak, it's been very difficult to find good contractors for small jobs. They promise to call back but they don't. They schedule appointments but are no-call, no-show. That was not the case with Edgar. From the first time we spoke, Edgar took interest in my job and quickly scheduled an appointment to visit the job site. He provided an estimate within 24 hours. We locked in a work date, he and Vanessa showed up on time and the work was performed to my expectations. Throughout the process, we exchanged text messages and Edgar was quick to respond to all my questions and additional requests. In my conversations with Edgar and Vanessa, I could tell that they care about their customers. They didn't treat me as "just another job" as so many other contractors have done. They keep their promises, unlike so many other flaky contractors. For that reason, Platinum Paving and Landscaping is now our preferred concrete and landscaping contractor. As a president of an HOA, I've dealt with many contractors, both good and bad. Based on my experience, I can say they are an excellent contractor. Thanks, Edgar and Vanessa for a job well done. read more

Working with Edgar and Vanessa was a great experience. My patio area isn't the largest, and sometimes companies don't want you work with you, if it isn't a huge money maker. Edgar was responsive, reasonably priced and made my patio area look great. He explained everything such as the cost, materials, labor and time. He was very helpful in coming up with ideas, for my space and what would look best/ work the best in the space. He also knew what plants would look best/work best in my patio area. All of the workers who did the cement and the planting of the bushes were punctual, friendly and skilled. Edgar and Vanessa came multiple times to see the process of the project and made the whole process a breeze. They even came the last day and stayed late to make sure it was done when they said it would be. I will recommend them to anyone. Please see the pictures below! read more

I was in need of a landscaper to quickly complete a small drought tolerant project for my backyard. I met with 5 different landscapers and ultimately chose Platinum Paving & Landscaping.
