It took them a week to pick up the unused the pavers, which was a bit long in my opinion. We have a couple of other areas that we will redo in the near future and I would consider using them again.

There were no hidden fees or anything sketchy, 100% honest and professional.

Our project included a full transformation of our backyard, courtyard, and side yard, and the results are absolutely stunning. Jake installed two custom fire pits, beautifully laid porcelain tile, and a customized louvered patio cover. He also helped with the placement of patio pots and selecting plant material, carefully considering sunlight, plant hardiness, and overall aesthetics. Everything feels perfectly balanced and thoughtfully designed. Even though I had a professional landscape design to start with, Jake suggested several updates that elevated the entire space, giving it a more modern and upscale look. He truly has an exceptional eye for detail and is resourceful at troubleshooting. His crew, Moi and Paco, were equally impressive. They were onsite every day from 7am to sunset, Monday through Saturday, and their work ethic was unmatched. Moi, in particular, stood out. He is incredibly diligent, knowledgeable, and professional. It was clear that they approached every step with care, always "measuring twice and cutting once." They took the time to think through details and identify potential issues before making any cuts, which gave me a lot of confidence in their craftsmanship. Jake's commitment to quality really sets him apart. If something wasn't perfect in his eyes, he had his team redo it even if it was solely for aesthetics like the placement of a pot. His adjustments and recommendations made the final result even better. This wasn't only about getting the job done quickly, it was definitely about getting it done right. The end result is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Jake Joe and Echo Homes to anyone looking for high-quality, thoughtful, and beautifully executed landscaping work.

The scope of the work included adding a concrete pad, extending our concrete patio, planting privacy hedges with drainage and auto watering system, installing artificial grass with paver walkways, and adding pebbles along the exterior wall of our house. Since we have a soft watering system, we also had them install a separate line from the main. Overall, Caliscapes OC was professional, friendly, and accommodating.

We had an incredible experience with Simple Outdoor Living for our design-build landscape project, thanks to Bryan and his dedicated team. From the initial conceptual design and lifelike renderings, which helped us visualize the final outcome, to the meticulous material selection process with Bryan at the showroom, every step was seamless and insightful. Bryan was always available to answer our questions, ensuring our ideas were incorporated before submitting the project drawings and 3D renderings to the HOA. Their comprehensive knowledge of our neighborhood's HOA policies, including approved lighting and plants, resulted in our project receiving approval on the first review. Coleman managed the project impeccably, offering a professional, personable service. His visit with us to the nursery for plant selection, along with his detailed explanations, truly stood out. The team skillfully accommodated our additional requests, and we are grateful to Coleman, Jhonatan, and the entire team for their outstanding service. The final result exceeded our expectations. Our chosen plants, efficient irrigation system with timers, and low-voltage lighting system were implemented with precision and responsibility, all programmed expertly by Coleman. We are thrilled with the beautiful transformation of our landscape. After observing recent projects in our neighborhood, we genuinely believe that our front yard and private outdoor seating space are the best, providing a relaxing sanctuary adorned with stunning plants. Thank you, Bryan and your design team, and a special thanks to Coleman and the construction team. We couldn't be happier with our decision to partner with Simple Outdoor Living for our beautiful landscape project. See the stunning results for yourself! read more

We recently had to completely redo our landscape after our fire insurance was dropped, and we hired Simple Outdoor Living based on their online reviews. Our project involved a full makeover of the front yard, including hardscape, softscape, lighting, and a sprinkler system. From the very beginning, Bryan impressed us with his professionalism. He created a 3D rendering of the design and patiently worked through multiple revisions until we were completely satisfied. He provided a reasonable quote and stuck to the timeline, which we greatly appreciated. Coleman, the project manager, was equally impressive. He was professional, skilled, and incredibly patient. He accommodated all our requests, even last-minute additions and changes, with a positive attitude. Thanks to the hard work of this team, we now have a stunning landscape that we absolutely love.

If I could leave 10 stars instead of 5 I would. This was a wonderful company to deal with. I have a small back patio that needed some work. Bryan came out to the house and after input from me and his great suggestions, Allan then drew up plans that could be easily submitted to my HOA for approval. Following that, I worked very closely with Coleman and his team with construction that involved pavers, raised planters with stone veneer, and wall caps (also great for additional seating). At the end of each day the workers would clean up the mess on the patio, as well as the street in front of the house. Always considerate of my neighbors, too. The work (hardscape and plants and trees) was of high quality. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Simple Outdoor Living is great for all your outdoor living needs. It's a one-stop-shop with designers and contractors available for any job you want done. I love that with SOL, there's no guess work.

It was awesome to see the plans on a big screen with my actual house from any view, and to have the ability to literally switch things up with the click of a mouse, to see if another paver, or a different fire pit, or a higher wall would look better. Everyone we've worked with has been professional and respectful of our wishes. We couldn't have had a better experience! Thanks SOL! read more

The showroom is a really great experience and the staff is friendly. I've seen some of the other designs they have done and was really amazed at how fast they can make adjustments on the fly. I'm a bit of perfectionist when it comes to my property and I love how quickly I can ask for an adjustment to the design and see it happen right in front of me in real-time and in 3D.

To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs.

There are renovations that improve a home -- and then there are renovations that fundamentally…read morerecalibrate how that home exists within its environment. What Byron Schley and the team at Hillside Pavers delivered for us falls squarely into the latter category. Ours is one of the oldest houses on the block, my grandfather built it himself in the early seventies so needless to say there is sentimental value here, the years were told loudly in its dated facade ever more blindly as one by one and year by year the houses around us became more modern and desirable and that contrast was ever more noticeable when it became every other house on the block. Before this project, our front yard was little more than a narrow, uninspired strip adjacent to the public sidewalk that functioned more like spillover from the street than usable property. It did nothing to reflect the scale or architectural presence of our three-story, beach-adjacent home. Today, that same footprint operates as a private, structured courtyard -- a defined outdoor living space that feels intentional, modern, and architecturally integrated. The Techo-Bloc paver installation is executed with geometric discipline and clean proportional balance. The contrasting border trim sharpens the layout, and the modular patterning reads refined rather than repetitive. Where water once pooled visibly, the drainage now performs efficiently and invisibly -- The upgraded water line alone was transformative. What used to produce barely a trickle now delivers pressure so strong it rivals commercial output .The underground drip irrigation system is intelligently concealed beneath the hardscape and reemerges precisely within the base of our large entry planters. It is automated, timer-controlled, and calibrated for plant health without visual clutter. For us gardening is a foreign labor, the system removes guesswork and replaces it with precision. It lays the groundwork for what will be Madagascar jasmine and Rainbow's End climbing roses to ascend the custom trellis Speaking of the trellis -- it is a custom design by Byron himself and serves as the architectural anchor of the entire entry sequence. Its linear steel geometry frames the approach to the home, introduces vertical rhythm, and gives the courtyard presence and scale. The black powder-coated aluminum slat fencing, set atop a raised paver foundation, creates privacy without heaviness.The laser-cut gate beneath the trellis introduces texture and artistry, especially when lit from behind at night. And the lighting system integrated along the fence base and entryway is hospitality-grade in execution. The perimeter wash creates a subtle floating effect. The laser-cut gate panels glow from behind in layered depth rather than harsh brightness. With full color customization available, the space can transition from understated architectural white to vibrant holiday displays with precision. It feels closer to a Ritz-Carlton courtyard or private club environment than a residential frontage. Most importantly, the project didn't just improve appearance -- it created usable square footage. It has become the preeminent gathering space of our home. it is upscale functional living space.The neighborhood response has been immediate .Neighbors who we barely knew for years have introduced themselves. Passersby stop to compliment the change.The property now projects the level of architectural coherence it always deserved. We approached this cautiously. Prior experiences made us exacting and demanding clients. Byron handled that with patience and professionalism. When questions arose, they were addressed. The end result reflects accountability and pride in workmanship. Hillside Pavers is not inexpensive -- but quality rarely is. There is a tangible difference between budget work and engineered, finished craftsmanship. This project did not simply beautify our home. It expanded it. If you are seeking exterior transformation that blends infrastructure, architecture, lighting design, and true spatial creation -- Byron Schley delivers work that justifies the investment.

We recently completed a major paver project with Hillside Pavers, and I can honestly say the final…read moreresult came out even better than I imagined. We were referred to Hillside Pavers by a close friend who had completed a similar project not long before ours, and that recommendation gave us a lot of confidence going in. After going through the process ourselves, I can absolutely see why they spoke so highly of the company. From the beginning, Byron made the design and estimating process feel very clear and professional. One thing I really appreciated was that he used an iPad on-site to draw out the design, calculate measurements, and price everything very accurately. It was not a vague "ballpark estimate" type of process -- it felt transparent, exact, and easy to visualize, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. Byron also helped us finalize the color choices, especially for the walkway, and his suggestions made a big difference in the final look. Roberto, who supervised the on-site construction work, was also excellent. He really listened to my concerns, took the time to discuss details with me, and most importantly followed through in the actual work without any issues. That meant a lot to me because I care about both design and functionality, and he handled both very well. Casandra in the office and Oscar as the business manager were also great throughout the process. They were organized, responsive, and helped keep everything coordinated smoothly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. What stood out most about Hillside Pavers overall was that they listened to our preferences and worked with us instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. The workmanship, communication, and attention to detail were all strong, and the finished project truly transformed the property. During the project and especially after completion, we received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends, which really confirmed for us how well everything came together. I would absolutely recommend Byron, Roberto, Casandra, Oscar, and the entire Hillside Pavers team.
