This is our second yard project with Carmen and his family crew. They did our back yard a year…read moreago, and now it was time for the front yard. Just like with our back yard project, we met with Carmen several times to work out the details of our front yard. Carmen being busy as he is would often schedule our meetings on the weekend, either Saturday or Sunday. I mean I've never dealt with or met a contractor that would give up their weekend to meet with a client to discuss a project. Carmen was always in communication with me either by phone or text, even if he was delayed in getting back to me, I always heard from him. If Carmen was delayed in getting back to me, he would apologize for the delay. Based on my experience with Carmen he as always been about customer service. He was patient when working with us on our project. He offered suggestions when I strayed away from what we wanted to achieve. His knowledge and experience kept the stress to a minimum. Carmen's crew of family members are professional, polite, and always cleaned up after their day was done. As far as value, Carmen's pricing is very competitive. A big thanks to Carmen and family for our fantastic front yard. All in all, if anyone is looking for a FANTASTIC landscape contractor, I highly recommend Carmen and his crew. They will make your vision for your landscaping needs come to life!!

These guys did a wonderful job on both my driveway and a patio in my backyard after I decided to…read morefill in my pool. (They had also done an excellent job on the pool deck five years earlier, before I knew I was going to fill in the pool.) I have been very pleased with the results, which have really elevated my enjoyment of my home's outdoor areas. I would also caution anyone considering going with System Pavers to steer clear of those crooks. I wasted thousands of dollars having them do a terrible job on my pool deck, and had to have Pacific rip out their work and fix it. It was an expensive mistake that I hope to save others from repeating. If I had gone with Pacific in the first place, I would have saved lots of money and hassle. Some pictures of the driveway, patio, and now-defunct pool deck are included here.

I contacted Foundation Solutions about two sinking ADA ramp retaining walls. Ryan from Foundation…read moreSolutions met us on-site and developed a plan to secure the retaining walls so we could repour the ADA ramps. Ryan, the office staff, and the field crew were all a pleasure to work with. Their communication was excellent, and they adjusted their schedule as needed due to weather delays. They kept me informed throughout the process and helped develop solutions when unexpected conditions arose. Foundation Solutions is a great company, and I highly recommend them.

Received a letter about earthquake insurance and retrofitting recently, so I decided to find a…read morefoundation and retrofit expert to evaluate our split-level home built in the 1960s. I had noticed some settling happening in one corner of the house near the windows and was concerned that there might be an issue. I also wanted to know if there was anything we could do to strengthen the home in case of earthquake. I sent a message to them on Yelp and received contact back within a day. It was easy to schedule an appointment on the phone. Ryan showed up to do a free evaluation. He took a look at everything in the house, the garage, side yard, and crawlspace. He even let my 7 year old son assist him with some of the process while taking measurements. He explained the settling that we had in the house and had a few recommendations that he said were of no real urgent concern. He told me what to look out for in the future as signs that we might need to take remediation steps. Overall, he came across as extremely honest, detail-oriented, earnest guy. One detail to share that I think illustrates something about Ryan. For context, we are a no shoes in the house family. Over the last 5 years, we've had a decent number of contractors come do work in the house. The no-shoes thing is always something I end up either discussing or (more often than not) temporarily ignoring when people come into the house to work. In this case, Ryan had already noticed the row of shoes by the door and my unshod feet and removed his shoes without a word about it before entering our house. I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's ever happened. That attentiveness alone already put him in the 5 star category!

I can't say enough great things about Andy's Concrete. He went above and beyond in every aspect of…read morethe project, delivering exceptional results. His attention to detail was incredible, and he even took extra steps I didn't expect, like power washing the house and windows to leave everything spotless. Andy also took the initiative to redo a poorly designed gate from our new build, widening it and making it far more functional. It's rare to find a contractor who cares so much about their clients and consistently delivers outstanding service. I feel lucky to have gotten such high-quality work at a great value. Andy and his team are reliable, communicative, and truly stand behind their word. If you're considering concrete work, do yourself a favor and get a quote from Andy--you won't be disappointed.

He was attentive to our needs, and provided a quick and reasonable estimate...so we accepted the quote after assessing a few other questionable estimates from other contractors. We were able to get on his schedule quickly...and the job was completed in four days! Peter and Aaron did most of the work...they, and their support crew, did an incredible job! Our neighbors commented on how good it looks and were so happy with how quickly they worked (so parking was not an issue). We had neighbors, who were out on a walk and saw the BCS sign on our jobsite, tell us about their good experience with BCS. Aaron and Peter were wonderful in handling the potential problem areas of the project, and offered great advice on the best way to resolve the issues. They just completed the project this afternoon, and the finished product way outshines our expectations! The slope improvements (we live on a hill}, and the incorporation of the wall extension to ensure a smooth transition to our front door from the driveway, improved accessibility and obviously increased our property value! Now we can effectively launch into Phase II (Timber Tech Patio), Phase III (Custom Fence} and Phase IV (Front Yard Turf, Garden Wall, Plantings and Paver Borders). Thanks Aaron, Peter, and the Rest of the Crew for making this an easy and optimally functional (and great-looking) project Phase I...

I highly recommend working with Omega for your concrete needs. Mike and his team are top notch and did a fantastic job for us.

Kudos to Michael and Omega Concrete…read more As mentioned in my original review, we were extremely disappointed with the splotchy coloring of our driveway after the concrete cured. Michael read the review and reached out with a solution. It was a bit of a compromise - but one that we found acceptable. Michael agreed to power wash the driveway and apply a topical stain that matched the color we were originally expecting. We, in turn, agreed to pay for a sealer - something that would not have been needed if the original concrete had retained its coloring. The resulting driveway is exactly what we wanted. (See the newest picture of the stained and sealed driveway.). The color of the concrete perfectly sets off the bands of pavers. Thanks Michael. .

True Landscape did a really great job of making some lovely improvements to our yard! Our yard was…read morea complete mess before they came (with really hard uncomfortable small pebbles, hard dirt along the sides of the house, and wood chips in large spaces making it all kind of unusable). We had about 4 other landscape companies in the area come out first to give us an estimate on our project (Madrone, Pacific Outdoor, Purlieu, Atkinson) and a few of them actually wanted a pricey "design fee" before they would even give us a full/complete estimate. We already knew the basic idea of our design that we wanted, and so an extra design fee did not make any sense for our project. We ended up choosing True Landscape because their pricing was the most reasonable out of the group! Also, their representative George, seemed really committed to the project. He took measurements when he arrived, talked through a design plan, gave us a location to check out some of the landscape products to choose from, and even followed up the next day with some samples. George was also really easy to work with and scheduled/brought out the crew fairly quickly and the project only took about a week! In terms of the redesign, True Landscape installed new pavers, extended out our grass area, set up the drip water system, built a new planter box, and added large pavers and nice rocks around the sides. We are really happy with how it all turned out and our yard looks much more modern now : ). We have actually been going out every day to enjoy it now (over the past month) when we literally never used our yard before. Thank you!!
