New Patio
Laurie C.

We recommend Silva Contractors for your patio work. From the beginning they were very responsive to meeting with us, discussing our vision, and implementing our plans. We had an old blue stone patio that we wanted removed so we could create a new patio with areas for planting and a fire pit. We also wanted to make the new patio level with our driveway, address drainage issues, and retain access to a clean-out that was located under the step that leads from our back door. Paulo Silva, our project manager, assured us that everything would be done to code and all our requests would be met. The project would be done on time and on budget. No additional surprises. The team of workers were amazingly efficient. The existing patio was removed in one day and the old stone was stacked neatly away. Each day the crew cleaned up and left the yard neatly accessible. Our new patio is beautiful and I love the color. We love sitting in the sun having our coffee. We love looking at the plants that we put in. Paulo even added a water faucet near the flower bed to make it easy to water. The fire pit is so cozy to sit around as the evenings cool. My mother who is wheelchair bound can easily access our patio. He replaced the existing step leading out of our house and now it is more attractive and inviting. It has been raining heavily now and we have no standing water on our new paver patio just as they assured us. They finished the project within the time frame they promised and there were no unexpected increases. We are so pleased that we picked Silva Contractors for our patio project.

We had paver installed on the side of the house. Rick and his team we're very professional. Very accommodating to my family. Our neighbors were so happy with the work. They wanted their contact information.

New Railing

We worked with Silva last month to remodel our backyard and couldn't be more happy with the process, staff and results! From the moment we met Paulo and Pablo we knew it would be a great fit. They quoted within 24 hours, great pricing, and were able to start within 10 days. The process took less then 2 weeks and we were impressed by their communication throughout the process. All of the on site workers were professional and talented! They did the removal/demo of the fence, deck and most importantly concrete around the pool. They then put in pavers, lawn/sprinklers, lighting and fence. Couldn't be happier!!! We will definitely be using Silva Contractors again in the near future!

Worked with Silva contractors on a driveway replacement, steps and a path (all pavers). Paulo came out twice to quote the project based on changes I requested (added some sq/footage). Was very easy to work with a the most responsive of the vendors I talked to. The quote was affordable and competitively priced. Project went really smooth - brought a large crew in for demo day and couldn't believe how quickly they got the old concrete out of there. From there a smaller crew prepped the site and laid the pavers over the next few days. All looked great but there was a fence post that got damaged as it was supported by the old concrete. Fortunately Paulo sent over someone who put in a new post (stronger than the old one) at no additional cost. Overall I wish we'd done this project a while back - it looks so good. Would definitely work with them again.

Great to work with and hard working crew. Job was some earthmoving to fill in a ditch and landscape. Rick Silva was really responsive, came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and timeframe. They scheduled it in quickly and had a short form contract to keep things professional. Junior Silva came out on the day scheduled to manage the job and had things under control with a good group. Job took two days as predicted and to keep to time Junior increased the crew on the second day. They leveled things off and did a good clean-up including any dirt on the sidewalk and road. Definitely would recommend.

synthetic turf & white gravel
Zel B.

My husband & I have been wanting to redo our driveway and also add an additional RV driveway to our front yard. Silva Contractors was very responsive when we reached out to them (same day). We worked with Rodrigo as our point of contact, and he had open lines of communication throughout the whole process. They also did our front landscaping & side yard. There was a delay getting the synthetic turf from their supplier, but they still managed to finish the entire 3,000+ sq.ft. job within the promised time! The crew runs a tight ship with their entire operation. Many neighbors have stopped to admire their work, and give us compliments. I can't recommend them enough!

a backyard with a pool and patio
John K.

Silva Contractors really went above and beyond my expectations. Starting from initial call, Rodrigo was very responsive, came out to discuss the project and measure everything, and provided the detailed quote within a few days. What's even more impressive was that he committed to start the project almost immediately - and did! It was a full backyard remodel and a large project. I expected it to take at least two months, but Silva completed the entire project in just three weeks - and all to our utmost satisfaction. Everything was done with great detail and care, and all of our requests were exceeded. Even Mr. Silva came by regularly to check on the progress and making sure that we were completely satisfied. These guys are true professionals and highly recommended.

Silva contractors finished an amazing job for my backyard in less than 5 days. I'm so happy with their details orientation and professional work.

Added paver base and ready for paver installation
Saif H.

Creating a garden waking path was our dream. After getting quotes from multiple contractors, we find Silva Contractors to be the best in terms of deals. They defined project to be 4 days in length, which actually took 4 days spanning over 10 day period. Guys were professional, easy to deal with and their work was perfect. They made sure to deliver quality they promised. They delivered the exact same pavers in look and feel as we initially pointed out in their catalogue. I asked them some favors along the way for paver extension around water tap which they happily did at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend to take a look at deal they offer and I will rehire them for my future projects.

After consulting many contractors, we finally decided SCI to do the huge project on our backyard. Jorge Betincort,the operation manager and sale representative of this project did an amazing job overseeing his crew on site every day ,making sure everything goes well as planned.He didn't disappoint. The three brothers who were installers were very professional and easy to deal with regards to some changes and corrections/ suggestions I wanted. We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome!... they finished the job on time! Highly recommended!

Original Yard with Deck & Lawn (which died)
Drake Bear S.

Four companies came out to estimate the work I wanted done, which was replacing my wood deck that was beginning to rot and finding a solution for my lawn that had died. None, except Silva, even bothered to return a quote. Silva Contractors was the only company that said "We want your business" and returned a quote right away. They began work very soon after they got the materials and the crews were on site every day for 3 weeks (including a couple of Saturdays). I am so happy with the finished result. Silva Contractors is run like a family-owned and operated business. The guys were all very friendly. I am a perfectionist so I did made some requests for changes along the way. The workers were always very respectful and eager to make sure I was happy with the final results. Many of my neighbors have requested a "tour" of the back and I am happy to show them. I have been recommending Silva to others that are looking for landscape/hardscape work. My personal sales and project leaders were Paulo & Pablo Moreira. They can be reached at 510-275-3329.

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

Dago and his team are amazing! They have been maintaining our yards in El Sobrante for a few years…read moreand always to a wonderful job. They are friendly, and always go above and beyond. Recently, we had them to a full conversion/remodel of our backyard from awful weeds to nice natural grass, with an irrigation system, mulch, and tasteful plants. I was amazed with both how well it came out, and how affordable the project was! I would HIGHLY recommend using Dago Garcia's team for either regular yard maintenance, or any yard project you have in mind. Dago has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing- he is super friendly and helped us with great ideas. Give Dago a call!

Francisco ordered a chimney cap within my budget and his team reconstructed the chimney so we are now water safe. It took awhile due to back ordering of the cap, plus had to wait out all the rain (which went on and on and ON), but he was very communicative giving updates via text periodically. He charged me less than what he estimated in the end due to the delays and also the actual job taking less time than expected, which was much appreciated. His two crew guys were very friendly as well, I was out gardening the day they installed and they even offered to help me shovel mulch (they could see I was struggling - LOL). Overall a nice experience with Arriaga Masonry.

It took about 1.5 months from initial consultation to project start, since Francisco was backlogged. But when the team arrived, it took only a week to get the job done. Throughout the process, whenever we had questions, Francisco was very communicative both in person and over email as well. Would absolutely hire again!
