Marlee was very knowledgeable and helpful in offering design solutions that proved to be quite elegant and very reasonably priced. From demolition of our badly cracked driveway to completion of the project, we were quite pleased with the promptness, courtesy and painstaking workmanship of Sergei and his crew. The excellent communication in regard to progress was another aspect of our experience that delighted us. This local family deserves your patronage!

Doug brought over a ton of different paver samples from different manufacturer's and worked with us on ideas for layout/design. We are thrilled with how our driveway turned out.

He came 10mins before 9 which I appreciated cause that also shows me he is very punctual. He is very knowledgeable on how HOA's would want a more budget friendly estimate so he had some ideas on how to keep the cost low to update our HOA pool gates along with possibly adding some fencing on top of our existing walls. He measured out the perimeter of pool walls and let me know that some walls are shorter. I asked him if he was able to do keyless entry and he said yes and help me understand how it would be done. Will be expecting at least 2 estimates with 2 different options by the end of this week or at least before my next board meeting in early May. Looking forward to the estimates. Review from April 21,2026: Kevin and I exchanged emails, made an appointment for April 21, 2026 at 10am for a free estimate to update our HOA's pool gates and possibly adding gates on our pool walls to be up to code. But he was a no show. I waited for 44 mins. He had not contacted me to let me know ahead of time if he would not be able to make it or not. So thats unfortunate

The inevitable modifications were handled promptly and fairly in our opinion. Although there were some scheduling delays to start the project, it was certainly worth the wait.

We needed a chainlink fence installed to contain a large dog. We speced black, 5 foot tall, with 3…read moregates. We got quotes from 5 fence outfits. Prices ranged from $4100 to $11,100. We chose Los Padres Fence even though one company came in lower because of how Javier Raya handled himself. He drew pictures to explain things, asked questions, was careful in planning and measuirng, and followed up in writing quickly. The fence is up, and not only does it look great (better that we thought a chainlink fence would look) but the strip of yard along the fence looks better than it did before. They tidied up. They showed up when they said they would, worked like dogs all day for several days, and handled an unexpected problem with skill and grace. On the 2nd day, I was clearing brush next to the fence line and stepped into a ground hornet's nest. (I stepped on a bee's nest when I was 5. It's a gift.) This resulted in an angry cloud of hornets right where Javier would be digging post holes. I was lucky enough to get a GREAT pest control guy there in 10 minutes but the treatment necessitated not working near the nest for 20 hours. Los Padres Fence juggled subtasks and stayed on the job. My husband and I are very impressed.

At first I thought the bid seemed high, but once they got started and I saw what was involved -- jackhammering and removing the concrete, delivery of two flats of heavy pavers, delivery of sand for the substrate, cutting of rebar, and all the heavy lifting, I figured it was well worth the price. Jimmy led the installation team, and he and his workers were friendly and courteous. All the pavers were installed in a single day, and the joints were filled with polymeric sand the next morning. We are delighted with the result.
