We give our strongest recommendation to Luiz and Select Pavers. Luiz and his team removed a huge amount of concrete from our old driveway and replaced it with Belgard pavers. They also installed two crushed rock paths along the side and back of the property, and ran all the associated drainage. Everyone associated with this job was friendly, polite, and extremely hardworking. Luiz is a great communicator and problem solver, and he delivered the job on schedule. We believe the price was very reasonable for the high quality of the work. We're thrilled with the results and wish we had more work to give them!

We highly recommend Select Pavers! Unlike most reviews, the job they did for us was not pavers or artificial turf; for us they removed old and unsafe brick steps leading to our patio and installed new steps making sure they were to code. Additionally they did brick and stone work in our front yard. From the initial estimate to the job completion Luis, Neto and their team were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. Luis and Neto were on site everyday listening to our concerns, answering our questions and most importantly offering suggestions, design ideas and details we never considered. These additional design ideas in our front yard helped create an amazing result that we are so happy with. Their team of workers were polite, paid attention to every detail and were diligent in their daily work ethic. We thank Luiz, Neto and Team!

This is the 3rd (and largest) project my family has done with Luiz and Neto and we could not be happier. They installed modern 2x2 pavers in our backyard, a pathway and drainage. Both Neto and Luiz are easy to work with and always want to do their best for customers. With any project, one is always worried about cost, quality and delivery. They listened to our wishes and offered ways to meet our budget constraints without compromising quality. The execution of the project was great. Neto made made several trips to plan and design, made sure to be aware of utility lines and pool plumbing to avoid unexpected headaches. The entire crew traveled to Sonoma County and put such care into this project each day which means so much to me. They turned a dream into reality!

Posting this review on behalf of my parents who recently worked with Select Pavers for their driveway remodel: Out of the several renovation projects my husband and I have done over the past five years, we have had the best experience with Luiz and his team redoing our cracked driveway. We got several quotes and found that Luiz and Select Pavers gave us a competitive quote and were very professional and quick to communicate. Our project was slightly complicated because a large tree next to the driveway was responsible for the cracking, and several companies were doubtful we would be able to keep the tree. Luiz's plans took into consideration that we wanted to keep the tree and we were very pleased with the way he worked closely with the arborist to ensure that important roots were preserved. The entire project was completed in 4 days. Luiz was either on site or checking in daily to keep us current with what was being done and why. We highly recommend Luiz and his team at Select Pavers.

I'm grateful to Luiz and his excellent crew. They did a wonderful job on paving our driveway and side entrance steps. My wife and I love the result. Additionally, when the job scope significantly increased due to unforeseen events, Luiz went above and beyond in handling the extra work. To begin: I got 3 bids for my project. Luiz came by and he had the most detailed proposal. He pointed out the lack of proper sloping near the garage, which led to water pooling. He also explained some mysterious holes in the ground: they were the other end of drainage pipes from the side of the house. Luiz fixed the driveway to properly slope down, and moved those ugly water holes so that the side house drains into the end of the street. Luiz asked the city to mark electricity/gas/cable hookups, as expected. Unfortunately, the city was wrong. After digging up the driveway, Luiz discovered our main electrical pipe was inches below the driveway (not 3 feet, as required by code), and it was corroded. The city immediately shut off electricity to our house, out of caution. Luiz worked with the city's electrical department, building inspections, permitting office, and my electrician to handle this. I'm grateful for his ownership of this stressful period. Luiz even brought a generator so that my fridge/freezer would keep running. I can't recommend Luiz and his crew enough. I'm so glad we went with them, both because the driveway looks great but also because of how he handled the electrical pipe problems. To top it all off: Luiz, his crew, and the office staff are all super friendly and communicate often.

I quoted a few companies and chose Select Pavers given their reasonable price, and my good feelings on their professionalism and how easy to work with. I'm so glad I made this decision. My backyard transformed to a fully paved beautiful place where I can really enjoy it in like a week. They worked very efficiently and professionally. They communicated with me almost everyday about the progress, problems, and were willing to make small tweaks on the plan given certain limitations. Luiz and Cardoso were extremely patient and knowledgeable. They not only got the work done but educated me why it was done in certain ways. Highly recommend!

Luiz helped me fix up my backyard in April 2020 and everything is still in great shape a year later. He installed the pavers, including a landing step for my French doors, as well as a natural gas fire pit and bbq. Luiz helped me pick out the right size bbq and put it together for me. He also helped me pick out the right bbq cover and fire pit cover. The pavers have settled nicely and remain flat, and the gas fire pit continues to be the stellar centerpiece that I wanted for backyard gatherings. Luiz came by after the installation to help me understand how it works and even helped me enhance the flame quality. I'm very happy with the long-term quality and customer service I received.

Select Pavers were great to work with. They delivered exactly on the design my wife had for our backyard and front yard. Luiz, Neto and their team are great to work with. They gave us clear estimates up-front, worked with us on design tweaks as the work progressed and always kept us up-to-date on the progress and schedule. The quality of workmanship is great, and their team followed all the social distancing protocols that were needed at the time. They would always leave the work space clean and usable after the day's work and we really appreciated Neto's attention to detail and material/design suggestions. The project involved installing concrete pavers and lighting in the front and backyard, building a planter bed with stacked stone veneer and installing borders for plant areas. I will definitely use them for future projects and also recommend them highly to family and friends!

It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Select Pavers on our backyard project. My family is 100% satisfied with not only the backyard, but the professionalism shown by Luiz and his team throughout the entire project. We were also drawn to the fact that they are a locally owned family business with a 5-star reputation on Yelp. Luiz came out for a consultation about two weeks before the start of our project. We gave him a rough idea on what we visioned for my yard, which was approximately 360' of pavers and 650' of artificial grass. Luiz provided me information about grading and drainage and different things I may want to consider. Luiz did not trying to sell us on anything unnecessary and always worked with us to ensure that everything would be to our liking. After the consultation, I drew up our plan for the back yard and Select Pavers provided us with a very competitive quote. We informed Luiz of our budget and he made it a priority to honor our budget while brainstorming cost-effective solutions that would maintain what we wanted for our backyard. We took a drive to their warehouse to look at materials and once we made our choice, we were able to agree on the price and start date for the project. Much like any other home improvement project, obstacles come up. Luiz made sure to check in with us by phone or in person to provide daily updates, which isn't always easy when you consider that his team manages multiple jobs at a time. He let us know of different changes that needed to be made during the project and presented the options to us. I also happened to watch a chunk of the work done and I must say that the workers at Select Pavers do excellent work. They're friendly, they work hard, and they do not cut any corners. I've also watched a lot of youtube on laying pavers and they did everything by the book! Our backyard was a nightmare and not we cannot keep ourselves from going back there! If you're considering concrete pavers for your backyard, front yard, driveway, walkway, and patio projects, I would recommend without hesitation that you contact Select Pavers.

This is my 1st review on yelp and it's for Select Pavers because of their exceptional service. In order to find a good contractor for my backyard project, I basically looked at all pavement and landscaping contractors on yelp, and picked 4 contractors with license for interview and quote. All these contractors have good reviews on yelp and the projects they did look awesome. Luiz, the owner of Select Pavers, is the last contractor my husband and I interviewed. We decided to work with Luiz because of his professionalism, competitive and transparent prices, and excellent communication/customer service. I like the itemized quote Luiz provided, clearly listing all charges and no hidden cost. And he totally understands the quoted items might be removed as design changes. Due to my vacation, HOA approval and material lead time, my project was just done in October though I contacted Luiz this April. During six months, I sent him numerous emails/texts and he always quickly and patiently answer my questions. Project Manager Neto and Randy are awesome as well. They updated us the progress by texts every day during construction, and they had meeting with us several times to confirm all details. In order to not late for work, we asked for 8 am meeting in the morning and they always showed up on time. My backyard is small and it took less than 2 weeks to complete. It looks amazing now and we really enjoy it. I highly recommend Select Pavers to everyone.

Select Pavers removed our old cement patio and wood deck and installed pavers and artificial turf. We are very happy with the results. Of the four contractors from whom we got estimates, Select was by far the lowest ($7k lower than the next cheapest, and more than $20k lower than the highest). Normally this might make me hesitant, but based on their great reviews we went ahead with them, and weren't disappointed. The work itself looks great, and the communication was very good throughout. Either Luiz or Neto (the lead guys) was on site at least once almost every day, and when they weren't around, they kept me well updated by phone and email. We chose Belgard Catalina Grana pavers (in Riviera with graphite border) and WaterSavers Supernatural 80 turf. There were a couple of delays because of weather and also a delay in the turf being delivered, but overall the process was pretty smooth, and the team was conscientious about keeping our property clean. We highly recommend Select Pavers!

Finished product! This was a giant jungle before they got to work on it. Couldn't be happier.

I can't say enough good things about Eric and his dad -- they are truly the best concrete team I've…read moreever worked with. This is actually my second time hiring them. A couple of years ago they helped me with a smaller concrete project, and I was so impressed by their professionalism and craftsmanship that I knew I would reach out again when it came time to redo my entire backyard. From the very beginning, Eric stood out for his clear communication and honesty. His quote was very fair compared to other contractors I contacted, but what really made a difference was how much thought he put into the design and planning. My backyard was in pretty bad shape -- uneven ground, cracked areas, and even a section near a retaining wall that wasn't very stable. Eric carefully looked at every problem and came up with creative, affordable, and effective solutions. He never tried to upsell or rush decisions. Instead, he made sure I fully understood each option, and he adjusted the plan to fit both my budget and my vision. During the construction, Eric and his dad worked with incredible efficiency and attention to detail. Every single day, they arrived on time, worked hard, and cleaned up so thoroughly before leaving that I could barely tell it was an active construction site. That level of care and respect for a client's home is rare and deeply appreciated. The final result completely transformed my backyard -- the concrete surface is smooth, solid, and beautifully leveled. They even paid attention to the small finishing touches that many contractors might overlook. The project was completed right on schedule, exactly as promised. Eric and his father are honest, reliable, and take great pride in their work. You can tell they truly care about doing the job right, not just getting it done. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire them again or recommend them to anyone who needs high-quality concrete work. They're the kind of people you feel lucky to find -- hardworking, trustworthy, and genuinely good at what they do.

Tran's Landscaping - Materials purchased and the very obvious 90 degree elbows

Tran's Landscaping

I don't want to leave negative reviews because I understand everyone is working hard to make a…read moreliving, but this was the first time I had to stop a contractor after 1.5 days because I was stressed and concerned about the way the work was progressing. I wanted my backyard demoed to install draining and concrete to make it low maintenance and fix draining issues during heavy rains. I felt the materials purchased didn't look right and were also different from what other contractor bids mentioned the material they would use. I even consulted AI and other forums online to make sure my intuition wasn't off. Either way, I don't think these materials purchased were the issue because if I am working with a good contractor, they would be able to either adjust to my request in a respectful manner or explain their approach rather than gaslighting me. First, Tran purchased triple wall HDPE pipes for a very long run for the draining (20+ feet). I assumed we'd be using PVC pipes and that was also the recommendation from most as PVC is more durable and less prone to bellying during the installation process. If issues arise, it's also a better material to snake through rather than triple wall HDPE as it is smoother and more durable. When I asked if the triple wall HDPE pipe could be returned and to use PCV instead, Tran responded as if I were crazy and mentioned the PVC pipe is not for outdoor use. I was taken aback and wasn't sure how to respond to this, I've only seen copper or plastic piping used for my indoor plumbing and there was PVC piping used outside we can see right in front of us as we were talking. Second, it's best not to use 90 degree elbow for my situation, and it's better to use 45 degree elbow to avoid clogging. If you've gone through elementary school, then clearly you can tell the elbow purchased is 90 degrees. I asked Tran if he could use 45, and he responded "These are all 45, you can take this to home depot and check." The elbow clearly looked 90 degrees, so I had to go out to home depot myself, take a picture of the clear difference between the 90 degree elbow he had purchased vs the obvious 45 degree elbow at the store, then he responded, "Ok, let me get the new elbow." This is the second instance of gaslighting that made me feel confused and concerned to trust this contractor to continue work. Third, because the draining was going to be installed underneath concrete, this means it will be challenging to unclog or check for issues if something went wrong in the future. I asked about this and wanted to communicate my desire to install some sort of drain cleanout, but I was cut off and Tran simply stated "I've done this so many times" and never answered my question properly. I felt taken advantage of and disrespected with the gaslighting while working with this contractor. I am spending a lot of money and this is a huge job that needs to be done correctly, as trying to fix plumbing underneath concrete isn't the same as fixing plumbing underneath an indoor sink. The fact that an elbow could not even be purchased properly was the last straw and I did not feel comfortable moving forward. I give 2 stars for showing up each day and working hard to demo the backyard as there was a lot of weeded grass and plants that needed to be removed.
