Thank you, Stones Landscaping Inc., for making our backyard vision a reality!…read more Not only are we extremely happy with the outcome of our project, but it was also a pleasure working with their entire team. We were able to work closely with both the office staff and the crew throughout the project, and they were always willing to answer our questions and make sure our preferences were addressed. It's clear that the entire company takes great pride in what they do, and that pride definitely shows in the quality of their work and their communication with customers. We truly appreciate all of their hard work and would highly recommend Stones Landscaping Inc. to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space!

We recently completed a large-scale backyard renovation with Stones Landscaping, and are quite…read morepleased with the results. This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

An overdue review for the backyard project Almaden Valley Landscape worked on for us last year…read more From the start James had been very responsive to email and Ken working on our quote. We must have went back and forth 7-8 times before finalizing the design. One tip is that Ken will work around your budget so make sure you let him know your budget. We live in a new development home with an unfinished backyard with just dirt. We had a lot of weed growing out which they got rid of in a day's work. Ken is such an experienced landscape designer, he worked with us on designing our pavers, seating wall curvature, sprinklers system, lighting, built-in BBQ and all the types of plants. I showed him pictures from Pinterest of the double sided fireplace we liked and he was able to recreate it in our backyard. That fireplace is a center piece and we can't get enough good comments about it from our guests. This was a 6 week project and there was some on and off days, they did not come everyday working on it as they had multiple projects at the same time. Ultimately it got done in a 8 week time frame. Ken was not hesitant to come back and fix our sprinklers when there were issues. I highly recommend James, Ken, Dominic and their team to work on your landscape. From design to hands on work, they will bring your vision to life. Ken is very honest and he will give you a fair bid on your job.

This is a late review. We hired Almaden Valley Landscape for our backyard paving project. The…read moremanager, James, was very nice and responded to my emails quickly. During the onsite evaluation, Ken measured the area and explained how they would demolish the existing cracked concrete, design the slope, complete the paving, and fill the area. They also sent me pictures of the pavers and edge materials they would use to seal the border. The entire project was completed within three weeks, and Ken and his team took care of every detail. In addition, we hired them to remove old tree roots and repair the fence. All work was done with high quality. Our family has enjoyed the backyard a lot over the past few months. Big thanks to the whole team.

Darrick and his team did the project in San Benito County and didn't even charge us for the travel time, which we truly appreciated. The new pavers gave our yard a beautiful, polished look that really upgraded the entire look and feel of the typical track housing area we live in. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and we've received so many compliments from our neighbors! If you're looking to elevate your home's exterior, I highly recommend Blackstone Landscape and Design. Darrick and his crew are reliable, professional, and deliver amazing results!

I have worked with Darrick for a few years. While the service he initially implemented was good and…read moremet general expectations, I feel a lot of confusion and frustration regarding his communication style. This is not a one-time issue; throughout our interaction over the past few years, there has been a recurring pattern of him agreeing to a specific day or time to come by and then simply not showing up. This has happened quite a few times, with the most recent experience being the final straw. I first reached out in September 2025 regarding a sprinkler issue. After a no-show then, I followed up again in March 2026. Once again, he confirmed a timeframe to swing by, but never arrived and provided no follow-up to explain why. I have attached two snips of our message history here for reference. I have always tried to be patient, flexible, and polite, even offering additional fees to ensure his time was covered. If a professional finds a request unreasonable or is too busy, it is much better to simply say so. Instead, being 'ghosted' repeatedly makes it very difficult to plan or maintain a property. While I appreciate the work he has done in the past, the lack of reliability makes it hard to continue with his services.

The price seemed fair compared to the others, and the quality of the work and reviews also swayed me. Well I'm so happy for went with them. The project started with just pavers in the yard, but then I decided to do the driveway, and the quote was updated very fast. I then decided to add lights, a new fence, a new gate, and a new back porch! All of which they were able to easily accommodate! There was no pressure to add any of this work, it was all my request. Their work is fantastic and flawless, I literally didn't have one issue at all through the whole process. They worked all day everyday, and Eriberto was on site every day to check in. They weee professional, but also extremely nice and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them. Take a look at their work in my before and after. I Highly recommend them!!! I will definitely be reaching out for any other projects they may be able to accommodate.

We had a seriously weird situation with a mystery liquid-filled 55-gallon drum that had been buried…read morefor who knows how long - probably from the days when Saratoga was mostly orchards, though likely sooner - before recycling was commonplace. Every single company or agency I called was dumbstruck, and were either too scared to touch the job or required payment just to come out for an estimate. Not Green Earth. Rick and his Bobcat came to the rescue, excavating the dirt around it and making sure the contents didn't spill. He even hauled it away! Rick reminds me of the old-school trade guys who simply got the job done: friendly and accommodating even under duress. Of course, this works both ways; if the client has respect for the contractor and the situations under which he or she is working, then everybody wins. I highly recommend Green Earth Construction. Call them, and them only.

Updated review! See below!…read more Im going two stars because their work seems to be very nice (from the photos I can see on their site). The problem is getting them to contact you back. I have called, listened to the message about them being busy and to send a text. So I sent a text, no response. I emailed from their contact page on the website, no response. Hey if your business is doing so well that you can't return a call, text or email I guess more power to you. One would think in this day and age of highly competitive small businesses, that each opportunity would be viewed with a higher regard. Keep searching. Updated review! Since my review, we received a call back from Clint and he promptly scheduled a time to meet with us. This was our third meeting with concrete contractors. Clint was helpful and certainly more knowledgeable than the other two companies we met with. He provided a proposal within 24 hours, which was great as we had to wait several days from the other companies. After reviewing the proposals and Yelp, we decided to give CLC our business. To our surprise within a couple days, Clint had an opening for demo. Once the demo was completed the new concrete pour was schedule for a few days later. Great thing about Clint was that he took the time to explain the process to us. For the most part things went according to plan. Like with any construction project, you will have hiccups or issues. The key is how those issues are addressed and how fast they are resolved. We did have a few issues and Clint was quick to provide a resolution. There were some moments during the coloring process where we got a bit nervous as the color didn't appear to be what we selected. Clint kept reminding to trust him and the process. We did and our driveway came out absolutely amazing 10 out of 10. Couldn't be happier. Given the size of our porch and the elevation code, we had to use a different material. Which again, made us a bit nervous. Clint did a great jon of matching the color and texture. There were a few questionable spots, but it's important to remember that we are working with concrete and stone. Nothing will ever be perfect. Porch grade is a 8 out of 10. Given Clint's effort, attention to detail and his desire to ensure his clients are happy, he definitely earned this 5 star review. If you are looking for high quality concrete work at a reasonable price, make sure you contact CLC! Thanks Clint

In the planning phase Octavio took the time to fully understand what we want, and proposed very artistic snd innovative solutions to get us what we want (he proposed a very nice curving of a sitting area concrete to hide a fence angle and it worked great and looked amazing). He made sure everything is well documented before starting the work, and gave us enough time to evaluate the plan, and accommodated all our requests. We never felt rushed and he was very patient in explaining all the details and all whats required. During execution he was there continuously, evaluating the progress and open to any feedback we have. When something was not clear to us he took the time to explain it well. When we needed samples to evaluate a color or a material he provided it promptly. And his execution was flawless. He was there working with the crew and ensuring that things were up to plan. The execution wad very thorough and the crew wad very meticulously working through all details (all stones places with measurement and everything was set level and the stepping paths were all checked for level with respect to each other; the concrete curving was done using a string to draw a proper circle and the frame was made matching to ground ... etc). They really rook their time to execute properly and did not rush or overlook any detail. And they accommodated all our requests. It was work of art. Once the job was done they left us the remaining materials to use/store as needed and they did a great job cleaning and making sure things looked nice. I am really happy with their work. They are going to be my goto person for projects going forward.
