    I recently hired Thiago for a hardscaping project in my backyard, and I am happy with the results. From the initial consultation to the final touches, the entire process was seamless. The quality of the work is good, the materials used are durable and beautifully installed. My outdoor space has transformed into a stunning area for relaxation and entertainment. Communication was not so great, but the project was completed on time and within budget. 2 months after, there was some minor issues with our pavers and retaining wall, however they responded and fixed everything quickly. Overall, I highly recommend Souza & Sons for any hardscaping needs.

    Markings show daily weather leakage levels. Horrible job with water feature and pavers.

    I'm glad to see you are responding here so the small claims court can see you are intentionally avoiding our calls for these past months. Btw these pics were taken today to show how you are lying! As mentioned above about honesty, you just proved that point by lying about your "project managers" and things are good. Let the pictures speak for themselves recently taken. The water is leaking and water level is dropping at a daily alarming rate. The quality of workmanship on the pavers? See what happened in 3 months!! If you want to lie again, I'm happy to record videos and post screenshots. Lying is only going to do more harm than good.

    Wow! What an amazing service provider! We had a giant Oak Tree fall in the latest storm. I had heard about Thiago and his team from a friend who has used him for demolition and and pavers. He said that this guy can mobilize quick. He not only got a crew in 24 hours for a 4 day job cutting up a giant Oak and hand carrying tons of wood up a steep hill, but then had another set of guys who rebuilt my broken fence and did an expert job. He left the job site clean and organized and everyone was extremely friendly. What's more, after the entire project was done a tree company finally got back to me. When I told them how much I paid, they wanted me to refer his company to them as a subcontractor. I would wholeheartedly recommend Souza and Sons.

    We hired Thiago and his team at Souza & Sons to complete a partial demo of our 40 year old pool. They were very professional, easy to communicate with, and flexible with pricing. As an added bonus, on top of offering paving, demolition and excavation services, they also do artificial turf installation - so we not only got them to fill our old pool but we also hired them to install brand new turf on top, finishing out our backyard rehaul. I would definitely recommend hiring Thiago and his team.

    New paver driveway by Souza & Sons

    Souza & Sons replaced our steep concrete driveway with a new paver driveway. Thiago supervised the project and the whole team was responsive & hardworking. The paver team was nothing short of artists laying the pavers with professional expertise. All of the small challenges with unexpected LV wiring & irrigation pipes was taken care of without hesitation. The project was completed ahead of schedule and we now have a gorgeous new driveway. Many thanks to Thiago and team. (Fyi, we received 5 bids for our driveway, watch-out for large companies with sales teams who overprice based on your zip code)

    Just finished a pool demolition project with Souza and Sons. They were by far the most responsive and competitive bid I received. They executed the work in a very timely manner, and I am very pleased with the final product. A couple small glitches with communication but Thiago and the office are very responsive. I will be calling them again for my hardscape needs as I figure out what to do with my new backyard.

    Good quality and price for the paver work in driveway & backyard. It took roughly two weeks to finish the project. Highly recommended!

    We needed to have some pavers installed, and Tiago came out right away to give us an estimate. Him and his team were very professional and did an amazing job on our backyard and side gate area. Tiago communicated every step to us and made sure to keep us up-to-date on the timeline to complete. I highly recommend Souza & Sons, they are hard working and passionate to make sure the job is done right!

    Just just did my front yard from Souza and Sons. They did a great job with the pavers and artificial grass. My vision of what I wanted done and it came out what I expected with the help from Thiago the consultant on the project that gave me a good price for the job. It took me a while to hire right people to do the work with the right price and done right. Thanks again Thiago for the job well done will call you again when I'm ready to do my backyard because I know it will be done nice.

    They did an awesome job of completing a quality project on time. I was always kept in the loop about what is happening and whether that will need more investment. The final cost was almost in the ballpark of the estimates. I would definitely recommend this business.

    Sousa and Sons did the pavers, planters and trellis at my manufactured home in San Jose. While their communication wasn't what I'd hoped for the finished work was very good, especially for the price. They are a great value

    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!

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!

From the initial consultation to recommendations on improving aesthetics and water drainage it was immediately obvious that Delmar and his team knew what they were doing and earned my trust right away. Their pricing is transparent, and as the project was underway, I made some changes - Delmar accommodated them graciously and worked with me on the pricing - very transparent and reasonable. Our project included pavers, seating wall, retaining wall, steps (front door, and on retaining wall) - all with LED lights, new deck with Transcend Lineage, putting green, artificial turf and walkways. And the best part was Delmar used ChatGPT to generate new ideas for the landscape! Delmar and his team are very passionate about their work and it shows in the discipline and efficiency with which they executed the project. Never once did I worry about the quality of the materials used or how the work was being done - it was a completely hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Delmar and his crew for any landscape projects.

The water bills and the expansive soils were making it hard to sustain. So Delmar and his crew ripped everything out, put in a completely new drainage system, and topped it off with pavers over the entire yard. We had him put in a different style of border that looks fabulous. He had an electrician, a fence guy and an HVAC guy who took care of all the little details that needed to be done for a complete backyard redo. We added a seat wall for which he referred us to a travertine warehouse, he came with us to select the stones and built a fantastic seat wall. He added LED lights below the seats and below the steps leading to our front door, both of which look gorgeous at night. After he saw the beauty of the existing trees, he decided to put up-lights which just changed the way the trees look at night. He and his workers are so hard working, dedicated, respectful and pay attention to the smallest detail. Change orders were only for extra work initiated by us and their prices were fair - no surprises. Several neighbors have come by to visit and see the yard and there will likely be some who are going to fix their yards too. All in all a fantastic experience working with Delmar, Moa, Benny and their crew.
