    Lifestyle Landscape Design is great at stonework and paving. Unfortunately, they fall short on…read moreplanting smaller plants. Trees are well done. My husband hired them to put in a barbecue area in our backyard and pavers with trees in the front of our house. Then he suggested adding on some plants by our master bedroom window and behind the barbecue area. That's where the trouble began. All work was approved in August. We decided on honeysuckles on trellises and camellias. The work for the barbecue area and the front of the house went well and on schedule. The area behind the barbecue area and by the master bedroom were not completed. It kept getting put off. The job was started in August and was not finished until the following April. Excuses included that the plants were not available at the nursery that they use. That actually was a bit of a relief since they wanted to plant them in January and I was afraid that they would freeze. Then March rolls around and I ask if we could go to the nursery that they use and pick out the honeysuckles and camellias. There was not much to pick from, but we decided on coral honeysuckle for behind the barbecue area and purple honeysuckle and two white camellias for the master bedroom area. Unfortunately, the only white camellias available were on trellises. I told my husband that it might cause a problem, but if they asked for more money that would be perfectly fine. Unfortunately, no one spoke to us about it. Their answer to the problem was simply to leave out the trellises for the honeysuckles. Now we have honeysuckles that are planted too far from the fence with no trellises. This company is either lacking in communication with customers or does not have enough experience with smaller plants. I recommend them for stonework, paving, and tree planting, but not for smaller plants. Their pricing is very reasonable. Just be sure that they understand what is important to you for example trellises. Also be sure that they don't do any planting in January when your plants are liable to freeze. Better yet just stick to the stonework and paving. They are great at that!

    Everything went as promised and beyond!!! Superior quality all the way . I would highly recommend…read morethem .

    Foundation Repair of CA (FRC) is the most disreputable, dishonest company I've ever encountered. I…read morehired them because I didn't want to hire the lowest bidder for a change, and I regret it. I wouldn't sign the contract when told I'd have to do my own masonry repair until sales agent Jesse Marquez showed me FRC corporate material that indicated the brick facade would be removed with a masonry saw, in an approximate 2x2' square. That was false and deceptive advertising. This is what they did to my house. No masonry saw was used, only impact drills, which act as small jackhammers. FRC significantly damaged the entire brick facade, adjacent areas showed extensive cracking, entire areas had the brick facade knocked completely off the house, and the wall foundation was separated from the brick wall entirely. I told the work crew, headed by Luis, to stop using impact wrenches on the bricks immediately, then told them TWICE. Not only did they not stop, despite direct STOP work orders, they then took all of the bricks they'd destroyed, which legally is theft, called conveyance. Jesse Marquez explained that the bricks were so old they'd shattered. Luis returned the bricks after Jesse Marquez called, ignoring my several phone calls and texts. Jesse texted that the bricks were so old they'd shattered. Luis returned them, none were shattered, all were broken by the impact drills. Luis confirmed, texting that the bricks were "broken". They took the bricks to hide the damage. The day FRC received my Contractor's State Licensing Board complaint, FRC messaged that someone would come to assess the damage for repairs, and FRC would repair the masonry they'd destroyed. They first sent Robert Pagan, who acknowledged both that there were no masonry saw marks, and that the damage was excessive. According to FRC, Jesse stated Robert hadn't said this. It wasn't until I pointed out he'd said it while standing in front of a Ring camera did that lie die. FRC then sent Troy Knight, who acknowledged the same, and stated he was there to help, and would see that the masonry was repaired and more. I have several texts, voicemails and emails from FRC stating they will complete the job. They never did. FRC employee Mike Crites was sent to perform the repairs. He returned the following week with the wrong sized bricks in the wrong color, and proceeded to do more damage. This is the work that they did. FRC employee Mike Crites initially stated that he had retired as a mason, he later revised that statement, saying he'd only worked with pavers and concrete. The work performed was so substandard, FRC sent Jovincio, who was the only honest person in my entire dealings with FRC. Jovencio said he wasn't a mason, but had "some training". Jovencio replaced the work done by Mike Crites. This is Mike's effort, and Jovincio's replacement work. The work performed is clearly substandard and unacceptable. FRC acknowledged the workers sent lacked the skills, training and necessary certifications to perform masonry repairs. When I requested that FRC send a mason, and included photos of the work, FRC responded that they'd done me a favor; the workers sent were a courtesy. The very clause they'd ignored (and invalidated) by removing the bricks was cited. That they would do no more, leaving me with the bill for their damage. This is what they left. I obtained a second quote to repair the deficient masonry 'work' FRC workers had done - without a REQUIRED permit, with no mortar pins, odd-sized and broken bricks mortared in randomly, mortar lines that range from non-existent to more than an inch. Crites' also removed the brick facade foundation in several sections, replacing it with sloppy concrete. This is a code-violating 'repair' that is neither plumb nor square. The legitimate mason company from whom I obtained a repair quote updated the quote, which has nearly doubled BECAUSE of the 'repairs' performed by the unqualified FRC employees. FRC called this doing me a favor, saying the inept crew was sent as a 'courtesy'. This is not doing me a favor, this is not a courtesy, this is at best fraud. After signing the contract (under false pretenses), Jesse insisted I needed an additional pier ($3,155) because piers can no longer be placed under a window. A pier was placed under the window. Two other piers were not placed according to the county approved structural engineering ($1,850) diagram. Half the piers were installed in the wrong places, apparently according to Luis' whims. Yesterday Groundworks gave an estimate on properly placing those piers. That's how I learned that the improperly placed piers had lifted a joist completely off its foundation supports. This, too, will require additional expense to correct, before it damages my house - literally to the roof. I should have stuck with Groundworks. This is your cautionary tale - no one who values integrity, ESPECIALLY senior women, shouldn't hire FRC.

    Gabino and his crew did an excellent job replacing the fence between our house and our neighbor's…read morehouse. They tore the existing fence down, upgraded from wooden posts to powder coated metal posts, and installed the new fence as well as a new gate all in a single day. The new fence looks great and the gate is high quality. We absolutely would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality fence install.

    YG Fence Nightmare - Part II…read more Part 1 review - I hired YG Fencing to do $45,000 worth of wood and wrought iron fence work tree and removal at my home. In the process, Gavino, the CEO and my contact, caused $2,950.00 worth of damage to my pool. He readily acknowledged his fault and agreed to pay for the restoration work in total. He promised to pay the full balance by the completion of the work, which was completed on April 20, 2026. He did not honor his word and continued to avoid making restitution until finally making a partial payment of $2,000.00. When asked to pay the remaining $950.00 he refused citing the need for proof of workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance. Part II - On June 27, 2026, I paid the remaining $950.00 of Gavino's responsibility that YG Fencing refuses to pay. I cannot in good conscience screw honest, hardworking small business owners out of compensation for work contracted for and completed the way YG Fencing does with such ease. Had I read their Yelp and Better Business Bureau reviews before signing a contract with them, I would have seen how this kind of business behavior is not at all out of the ordinary. In fact, since my intital Yelp review, I have had other readers who were clients of YG Fencing contact me sharing their similar stories of nightmare experiences with YG Fencing. Most refer to Gavino's ability to make such a strong positive first impression that the customer is lulled into a false sense of security that makes them let their guard down and not research this sham company more thoroughly. Shame on me for falling for Gavino's conman tactics. Had I read the reviews, I would NEVER have gone with this sorry excuse of a business. YG Fencing's request for workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance is just another example of them trying to avoid their responsibility for the damage Gavino caused to my pool through negligent practices during the installation of the wrought iron fence around my pool. If securing these items was truly an issue, why did YG Fencing FINALLY after a series of excuses, lies, and machinations, make the partial payment of $2,000.00? YG Fencing was not using the pool restoration company, a sole proprietor company, as a sub-contractor. These documents were unnecessary. I am assuming they needed time to come up with yet another reason as to why they couldn't honor their word. Again, while Gavino was quick to acknowledge his fault, his actions on behalf of YG Fencing for the past 3 months prove that he was actively trying to avoid honoring his word and "doing the right thing" (his words, not mine) to remedy the situation. The request for these documents is absurd and clear evidence of manipulation. Again, as I said in my first review, steer WAY clear of YG Fencing.

When it comes to "Outstanding" I'd like to take it a step up to "A Company of Excellence! "... I'm forever grateful for the referral to use EF & S. My Driveway & my entry way to the backyard turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Since I recently had pavers installed for my walkway, I didn't go with stamped concrete as I thought it would be too busy & wanted my new pavers to stand-out. Simplicity can still work out to be really pretty so I had 2-tone very-light "brushed-broom", with smooth border designs - The design & color choices bring out my new pavers perfectly! I had no doubt it would turn out really nice but never imagined a simple design would look so stunning! AND, the quality of work is far above what I expected! Joe (the owner), is a real perfectionist in his profession, and takes a lot of pride in his work. Really knows his stuff, and he came every day to make sure the job was going well. Before starting he met with me to discuss the process, and throughout the install he made sure I understood what they were doing, and made sure he had my approval before he finalized the border design. Any concerns or questions he never failed to respond - could not have asked for a nicer person to work with. His working crew is another story! They were Amazing! Not only hard workers, but meticulous in all aspects of their work. Before pouring the concrete they covered the garage door & other doors - the cleanup at the end of the day was impeccable! Just finished my job today & he starts another neighbors this week - we both are so lucky to have found him ... When it comes to quality plus & customer service, EFS has it all! (Very reasonable in his price, and your also getting A+++ quality & service - can't beat that!) Wow! I didn't think I could get so excited over a driveway (lol!!!) ... but I'm so happy with the results :-) PS: I'll post photos in a few days - there's still cones surrounding my driveway until it's completely dry ...

    I couldn't tell you what kind of work Joe does, because he never got back to me…read more The day he was supposed to come out to give me an estimate. He didnt' show. He sent me a text and said he was sorry, so we rescheduled for the next day. He came out, was very nice, and said he'd email me an estimate that night. I never got it. I waited a few days, and sent him a text saying I never received it. I figured maybe he had my wrong email? I never heard back. So a few days later, I called him, and he again said he was sorry, that he was really busy and he'd send it that night. Again, no estimate. Finally, a few days ago, I called him again. I said hey I'd really like to work with you, but I still don't have an estimate and I'm going to have to go with someone else if I don't hear from you. He again, assured me I'd have it THAT night. Shocker- no estimate. I checked my spam email also. So, sorry Joe, you lost my business, and future business, as I had some larger jobs I was considering at a later date.
