Excellent service and very hard working team. We had another contractor back out on us at the last minute for installing a patio with pavers in our backyard as it's down a hill and he thought it was to much work. Raya came right over after we contacted him through Homeadvisor. They started working within three days and were finished in 4 more days, exceeding our expectations and at a fair price. read more

Raya Landscaping - New keystone pavers patio - Landscaping Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

We had 3 bids for a 500 sq ft patio and 2 of the bids felt outrageously expensive. Humberto's bid was lower, but I still thought it was on the high side until I saw how much work was done. In the end, it was a very fair price. Humberto and his crew were able to start within a couple of weeks and took about 10 days to complete the job. We discovered that the border we wanted was not available in the needed size, so Humberto recommended another that ended up looking really good. The end result was beautiful and the construction appears to be very solid. We would highly recommend Raya Landscape. read more

I couldn't be happier with how the project turned out. Humberto and his crew are amazing. They took out old pavers and put in a 30X16 new patio. It's gorgeous! No surprises and no drama. Hire these guys, you won't be disappointed. read more

We were referred to Raya Landscaping by the salesperson at the pavers distributor. They know a lot of landscapers, so that alone was meaningful. Victor and Javier did an excellent job installing a new patio in our side yard and repairing our backyard patio that had begun sinking from erosion and tree root damage. They are personable and knowledgeable professionals, with a great eye for aesthetic choices. Also, Humberto Raya (the business owner) is a great communicator. He totally visualized what I wanted, and knew the answers to concerns I had about drainage issues. I highly recommend this company for professionalism, aesthetics and value. read more

I want to express my extreme disgust in my most recent interaction with another contractor from Angie's list, Raya Landscape After taking my deposit 2.5 months ago, and several phone calls and delays, the contractor cancelled over the phone this morning after they were scheduled to begin the work. Humberto with Raya Landscape sends a text this morning asking what kind of rock I wanted for my project? The details were all covered in our initial meeting back in July with a complete walk through of the work. The job required 4 pallets of basalt to be delivered prior to the project, not to mention the 2 yards of mulch that was required. Asking for these major details the morning the project is scheduled to begin left me bewildered and definitely shook my confidence in the ability of Raya Landscape to accomplish the work that had been agreed to. I asked Humberto to call, and an hour later he called to say that he was cancelling the job because he felt 'I was too worrisome' ??? I was prepared to spend several thousand dollars on this project and I should not care about major issues like delivery and product? Cashing the check for my deposit and using my money for 2.5 months, and subsequently cancelling at the last minute amounts to nothing less than fraud -- in essence, a payday loan without having to pay interest. I bought plants anticipating the completion of this landscape project, and put off contacting other potential vendors thinking the job was scheduled to be done. Beware, cannot be trusted but will gladly take your deposit and use your money as a free loan. Then cancel the job when it is convenient for him and leave you in a lurch. read more

Humberto is a great communicator. He arrived promptly at the initial site visit. In his signature low key, nonpushy manner he assessed the job and made a few suggestions, but made it clear from the outset that he was in business to do everything just the way I wanted. His was not the least expensive bid, but his manner and style felt like the best fit for me. These traits and the fact that his customers confirmed his commitment to a job they were happy with counted highly in my decision to choose him. I was not disappointed. At the signing of the contract he showed up and we signed and picked a start date. He reviewed the job, made changes and remeasured the layout. He suggested that I extend the patio all the way to the garage, rather than leaving a narrow strip of ground there and I am very pleased with that decision. He arrived on time every day with a crew of two: Thomas and Victor. Once they started they were on the job continuously until it was done. He gave the project a two week time line and finished two days early. He was on site most of the time. When offsite he was readily available if I had questions. When he was around he was wonderful. I was able to supervise most of the work, something I HIGHLY recommend. This resulted in a job with which I am thrilled. Had I not been there they would have been forced to make decisions without my input that I would not have liked, just because I wanted a different look, for example. The remarkable thing is that they were not the least bit put out by this and were very receptive to my input. He did or changed everything I asked for except one, which I requested too late for it to be practical to do. He seemed genuinely disappointed when he had to say no. He was unrushed, thoughtful and focused on my job, working against a very old and out of square house that had numerous idiosyncrasies, (drainage issues, uneven ground and working around an old concrete stairwell). On a couple of occasions my solutions were well received and what finally worked. I mention this because many men would not have been as receptive and as nondefensive as Humberto. I wanted small rectangular pavers in a herringbone pattern. Small pavers means more cuts at the edges. I did not hear one complaint about this the entire time. Humberto also had to go out and get additional materials. I appreciated that he did not attempt to renegotiate the contract in the middle of the job. The outside edges were finished with cement and rebar. This makes for a patio that won't shift over time. I really appreciated this attention to longevity. Be sure Victor, and Thomas especially, are doing things the way you want. There were a few clean up tasks I would have liked done differently had I been asked, but I wasn't outside every minute (just underscores how important oversight is!). However when I asked Thomas to distribute the leftover gravel to the driveway rather than the scattering it into the lawn he was quite willing to do that and collected as much as he had already scattered as he could to move it where I indicated. They did a pretty good job of cleaning up the job site and keeping it reasonably tidy throughout the process. Overall I am delighted with my new patio. I am very pleased in my choice of contractor and would wholeheartedly recommend Raya Landscaping for your future project. As an addendum, after the installation, I had a concern about drainage. I texted Humberto on Friday and asked him to stop by. In the meantime it rained a few times and I was reassured that drainage was happening properly. By the time he arrived on Monday I was a bit embarrassed that I bothered him. He came on time and reassured me further. I mention this because follow-up is so important and he was prompt and attentive to my concerns. I know that many contractors are not so thoughtful. In short, Humberto is a gem. read more
