    Carlos and his crew put in a nice new fresh lawn in our front yard. He was friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. So happy we found Second Generation Landscape, will call this business again in the future!

    After

    I am glad i went for Second Generation Landscape. Carlos and crew went above and beyond taking care of the project. My front yard looks great! Carlos was responsive to all my questions. The project was done as scheduled. I would hire SGL again! Sharing before and after pics.

    I am a lawyer and real estate broker that does home improvement as a side venture. Carlos and his team were great from start to finish! It was a very competitive quote to start things off, and I took all of Carlos' suggestions - which not only reduced the overall cost but also improved the look and function of the property. As you can see, the quality of the work is top notch and it literally transformed the curb appeal + function for my family in the backyard. I will be hiring Second Generation to do Phase II of my outdoor plans! [EDIT] I forgot to mention that most impressive was that Carlos himself was here every day...he did the plans and did the work with his team. Most Excellent!

    Before

    Carlos and his team were responsive, thorough, hardworking, quick, and reliable. He worked with us to stay in budget and think of creative landscaping ideas. We are thrilled with the results!

    After!

    Last year we bought a house in Pittsburg and needed help getting the front and back landscapping done. I called a few people around and did not get any response. I found second generation landscaping through yelp and from the moment I contacted them, Carlos was on top of everything. He texted back promptly, discussed what we wanted and gave us exactly what we were looking for. The men he works with were all very nice and professional, used to be at work at 8:30 am sharp and they finished all the work in 3 days! Even after wards, I contacted Carlos with some questions. And he always responded right back with suggestions! Highly recommend this business!

    Carlos and his crew are hard workers who help you realize your garden dreams. He took my weed filled backyard and transformed it into a garden, entertainment area, and 2 she sheds, new fences as well as irrigation for all my beautiful new plants. We worked together on design as well as plant selection and they got to work. Wow! It turned out amazing and anyone who comes over or sees the pics I post on my social media are impressed. Carlos is great at working with your budget. Always friendly and greets you with a warm smile. He and his crew are trustworthy and efficient. 2 thumbs up.

Throughout the job, Steve and his crew were friendly, very knowledgeable, hard-working, efficient. They kept us informed of each step and what to expect. They were very dependable: consistently on time, there when they said they would be there and completed the work in the time frame they estimated with excellent results. The walls looked great and there were no unexpected delays and they kept it all within budget. We highly recommend Avon Construction. Working with the entire company was a joy. From the office staff to the owner Steve to Oso and the other workers, they clearly know what they are doing and have a desire to do it right. Fantastic experience!

The second was a wall we shared with our neighbors for our shared road. The third was a wall to wrap around our property to protect our house from any future landslides. Each time, everything about the process was FANTASTIC. Steve and Kristin were so accommodating, comforting, and communicative. The walls are absolutely stunning--we get comments about how nice they are all the time. Steve is a really nice guy--he is genuine, knowledgeable, honest, and he had an understanding that the work he is doing is a significant financial investment for us and so concerns are handled compassionately, with utmost patience. Steve's crew is full of respectful, considerate individuals who leave the worksite in excellent condition each time (and I have high standards!). Kristin's prompt communication was excellent (as was Steve's) and we were very pleased that with each project, the quote was accurate. When there was dump fees (I think for soil--but not sure--they had to hire trucks), we were informed well ahead of time and told why, and even then, we prepared for the fees, and they came in under budget. We cannot recommend Avon more highly--budget willing, we would use them again and again!

From the very first meeting, Sam was incredibly personable and easygoing, I felt comfortable with him instantly. He was also refreshingly honest about what was feasible for our space and took the time to explain the best way to do the work so it would be done right and remain strong long-term. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Sam kept us informed every step of the way, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt confident in the plan. The skill and craftsmanship of the work from him and his team is truly impressive, and we are beyond happy with how our backyard turned out, it completely exceeded our expectations. What really set Sam apart was how well taken care of we felt. He is incredibly trustworthy and honest, and he genuinely cared about the outcome as much as we did. He even offered to come back at a later time to help us move our very heavy Big Green Egg grill back onto the concrete once everything is ready, this is above and beyond! Now that the concrete is finished, we're so excited to make many family memories in our backyard and we have Sam to thank for that. We would without a doubt hire Sam and his team again for any future projects and will absolutely be referring him to friends and family. If you're looking for high quality work and someone you can truly trust, Sam is your guy!

They even helped us put down artificial turf afterward, and our property looks amazing now. Throughout the project, whenever we had new ideas, their team was flexible and made it happen. I can't thank them enough! I'll definitely work with them again and recommend them to all my friends.

They installed artificial turf as well. Ground lighting in the turf, and recessed lighting in our pergola ceiling completed the project. They also brainstormed with us on a couple problem areas like poor drainage under a downspout, and moving a water faucet to a better location. I think the thing I appreciated about them the most was the communication from Michael. He let us know when the crew would be out and visited our yard frequently while the job was underway. His quote was accurate, and I was VERY happy not to get change ordered to death. And Cesar - his lead for this project - was BRILLIANT! He seemed to know everything and gave great advice and ideas. No shortcuts were taken, only high quality products were used, and I know it will last decades. Should we have another project, we will definitely use Westcoast Hardscape again.

I'm sooo busy lately but I'm also very design and detail oriented, so I was really afraid of leaving this project without an any supervision during one of my busiest travel schedule to date. From our first consultation, Michael felt like a genuine dude whom I could trust to get the job done, so I didn't feel like I had to manage anything or directly keep tabs on their work for the month or two it was completed AND WE STILL got the most gorgeous paver patio with curves to die for that I didn't even have to spec out myself. I feel like I just chose the pavers and Westcoast Hardscape made this beautiful new backyard happen magically. JK WE KNOW THEY PUT IN A LOT OF HARD WORK and the results speak for themselves. They were really patient and flexible with my insane schedule too, which made these cool cats even cooler. Needless to say would definitely work with them again for future projects!

When I began my search for a security door install company, it was quite difficult, because I live in Vallejo, and I didn't see many reputable options. I eventually stumbled upon Den Defenders during my search, and after doing some research on them, and seeing lots of positive reviews, I decided to call, and schedule an appointment with them. For my initial consultation appointment, I was set up with their awesome employee Mike Carson. Mike was the best to work with, as he was a very professional individual, who seemed quite knowledgeable about the products, and services that Den Defenders offered. Mike helped me find the perfect solution for my home, and family's needs, as we needed a door that would allow more airflow into Our home for the hot summers, while keeping out insects, and also being very secure, so that we can sleep without worry of any intruders entering our home. Mike recommended the Viewguard security door, as it appeared to meet all of my family's needs. After Mike educated us on the door, its quality, and its features, We were sold, so we ordered one, and set up an appointment for the install date. When it was install day, My family was very excited, because when we first seen the door, it looked like a very high-quality, and sturdy unit. The install took about a few hours, as my home needed some stucco modification for the door to fit, but the Den Defenders crew had all of the tools/ equipment to get the job done, and they even kept the area clean as they worked, which was a huge relief, and very professional on their part. I'd like to point out that I couldn't be more happier, and satisfied with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for a high-quality security door installation. Before ending my review, I'd like to personally say a big thank you to Mike Carson for setting everything up, and ensuring a very satisfactory experience for me, and my family. I'd also like to thank the rest of the Den Defenders team for doing an exceptional job (I've included a picture in my review of the two crew members who did my install, and they were awesome, and very professional as well!). If I had to sum up my experience in a single phrase to promote the use of this company, I'd say that "The Den Defenders team delivers a quality product, and top-notch customer service." Thank you Den Defenders, on a job well done!
