    Crooked lines

    After consulting numerous concrete contractors for our new pool decking we hired Robert. His sales pitch was impeccable and he seemed extremely confident and knowledgeable about poolside hardscaping. As the project progressed we started noticing issues with Robert and his communication. He is arrogant and lacks all ability to listen. He repeatedly told my husband ( who he insisted his name was Joe - it's not ) that he would not chose our color..... um.... Never asked him to. According to his guys , he also called them the wrong name. ANY time we noticed something wrong in the project he blamed us. More importantly is the SLOPPY shoddy job he left us. Instead of using new wood for the forms , to save a buck he uses recycled wood from previous projects. Didn't seem like a big deal until we noticed out new platers with crooked lines. We have gray concrete splatter ALL OVER our stucco. When we failed to get it off by a pressure washer we called Robert. His response was " we missed that" followed by "you should have cleaned that up". Ugh.... What ? And then we noticed we had wooden forms left stuck in the planters and door frames. The icing on the cake is the cracks. Upon completion of the project Robert instructed us to water "10 times a day". We did. After about 3 weeks we started noticing cracks - EVER-WHERE. When we called Robert, the first thing he said was " I have cracks in my own backyard" , " it happened to me" . He then continued to say cracks were "normal" in new concrete. At this point he was extremely defensive and told us to call back in month. We did. By that time the cracks had become noticeably worse. We called Robert back..... again we heard about his own back yard cracks as though that would make us feel better. He offered NO solution, NO advice and told us it was OUR fault we had cracks because we didn't water it enough. At this point he claimed he instructed us to water "25" times a day. Further, he stated he had "driven by" and noticed our concrete was dry ?!? Yet, if this was true why wouldn't he have let us know?? Our back yard hardscaping looks great from a distance. If the cracks had not appeared we might have been willing to overlook the shoddy craftsmanship. The slop he left all over the walls, his overbearing arrogance and complete inability to communicate in a normal manner was too much. Midway through the project Robert insisted we had not paid one of the installment checks for $15k. He insisted his wife ( the book keeper ) " does not make mistakes ". We had paid and provided him a copy of the cashed check. What if we just handed over another check ...then what ? In summary, Robert SAYS he knows concrete, maybe he does? We wrote a giant check and are left with a mess and a lot of disappointment. We will be having another concrete contractor come to assess the cracking. At NO point did Robert offer to offer advice nor come assess his own craftsmanship or lack there of.

So joyful to hear him singing while working that I asked him to sing my late father's favorite Mexican songs. Hope people whose reading this will enjoy Papá Memo's singing too :-) We express our profound gratitude and look forward to working with Guillermo in future projects.

I also like the way they were able to think outside the box and offered many suggestions to make our ideas come to life. They created a paver patio, block retaining wall, fence, gate, and putting green. They gave us our dream backyard. We loved working with them so much we decided to have them back to work on our front yard as well. So happy we were able to work with GCG. A high quality crew.

    I needed a hardscaper for a new driveway, sidewalk and back patio steps. When I met Paul from…read moreAlexander & Sons, I knew intuitively without question he is the kind of high quality vendor that I seek out. He was thorough, detailed, creative, conscientious and he truly listened - to my goals, likes/dislikes, and concerns. He provided me with recommendations across all 3 work areas that took into account the needs and special considerations for each location. He worked to ensure that we had a good strategy for redirecting water from the downspout to the patio and for redirecting water via a small 'channel' parallel to the driveway to allow for better water management. Being a highly visual person, I also found their showroom very helpful in choosing colors and patterns for the stamped concrete finish. In preparation and execution, Paul and the team took great care planning out each phase, protecting my new glass garage door and fixing a small nick on the house during the cement pour. He also personally adjusted the patio downspout, intentionally going out of his way with a plan to avoid creating unnecessary holes in the new siding. He also helped me anticipate and plan for mail and other deliveries during the time the walkway would be off-limits. He also worked well with my neighbor to plan for and to gain access to the garage each day in my absence. He regularly sent pictures and text updates. All of this because he is thorough, creative, conscientious, detailed and seems to sincerely care about his clients. The result: Exactly what I had hoped, delivered on time, with quality, care and with consideration for my schedule and the well-being of my home. Paul delivered to his word. I would hire Paul and the Alexander & Sons team again for any hardscaping in the future.

I got a couple of quotes through Yelp, but ultimately decided to go with Kay Green -- and I'm so glad I did. It took Young and his crew about a day and a half to complete the project. I live in a townhouse community, and they were very respectful of the shared space. They did an excellent job cleaning up the carport area they used for their equipment and materials. We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

The price was reasonable (not the cheapest or the most expensive). The day before the project Young came over again and placed the trees exactly where they needed to go. I appreciated this because I could see how the fina placement would look like and make adjustments. The morning of the project his 3 crew members arrived on time and got stared. Young joined in and they were all done well before the end of the day. They do landscaping including pavers and lighting. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

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 ...

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.
