The business is tucked away in a commercial section of Goleta, somewhat near the airport. It's not the easiest place to find, but just plug that address into your phone and you'll be there in no time. My most recent purchase was to fill in my home's front parkway and a small back terrace with decomposed granite. When we went to look, we found the gentleman who'd assisted us to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I didn't realize how much maintenance DG requires. The salesman ended up showing us California Gold gravel which looks a lot like the product we'd planned to purchase, but wouldn't have to worry about heavy maintenance or seeing it wash away with a rainstorm. Ended up purchasing it - not only does it look great, but there is virtually no maintenance needed. A real win-win! Check this place out for your hardscape needs!

He found the ultimate cause of a significant leak (a valve stuck open in a hard-to-get-to controller under my back deck) and manually shut it off while he ordered a replacement. His team replaced several drip nozzles with micro-sprinklers, and swapped out some badly deteriorated lines for new ones. Everyone was friendly and super-efficient. At the end, Jorge returned to inspect everything (correcting a couple of very minor flaws) before declaring the job finished. All the work came with a one-year warranty. I wish we had a world where everyone had Jorge's attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

We were looking for someone to replace our cement driveway with pavers. Over a period of months we…read morereceived six proposals with the highest being $1,600 higher than the lowest. We decided to explore the possibility of T. Moreno Tile Company which was the lowest bid. We asked for and received references for recent jobs done by T. (Tommy) Moreno. They gave excellent reports of Tommy's work. We went ahead with Tommy because, in addition to having a very detailed description in print of what his company would provide for the $4900.00 we were going to pay, we liked how he presented himself and described the work he does and what we would receive if we decided to go with his company. Based only on our word that he could go ahead, he did not even require us to sign a contract. Much to our surprise and delight, he started the job the following Monday with six men on the job and finished the entire project the next day. We viewed the men working under Tommy's supervision and we saw how careful they were in clearing the cement driveway, putting in the necessary road base, leveling with sand, and placing the pavers. We watched them carefully cut the individual pavers to fit our required herringbone pattern. They used the appropriate compacting equipment and sanded the surface as required. We were delighted with Tommy's and his six workers' courteous manner, the savings in cost, the expert craftsmanship, and the final result. During the past year we have had a number of large projects completed on our house and worked with a number of contractors and workmen. Tommy and his workers provided us with the best possible work at great savings. We highly recommend T. Moreno Tile Company and would be happy to speak with anyone to answer questions.

I had worked with Mr. Moreno and his team (T. Moreno Tile Co.) previously on renovating a bathroom…read moreshower and was quite satisfied with their work. I contacted them first when I wanted to put in a small (12 square feet) tile backsplash in our kitchen. Other than behind the stove, I'm happy with the look of the tile (see before and after photos). They also cleaned up after themselves. However, I remain quite dissatisfied with how the negotiating and project completion processes went. I am unlikely to work with this company again or recommend it to others. I described the work I wanted to be done to Mr. Moreno and we verbally agreed on it. He did not offer, nor did we ask to get the estimate in writing. I strongly encourage you to do so if you are considering working with this company. Mr. Moreno did not complete what he verbally had agreed to do based on the original bid (move the stove back and install a row or two of tiles below the edge of the stovetop), added charges on to the initial quote, and did not offer to fix an electrical problem that his company created so we had to pay an electrician $85 for the repair.

Eventually I asked if it had been sold off to somebody else ...and it had not ...they had saved it for months even though I had made no effort to update them. Nice job. After paying and arranging for a delivery date, I was helped on how to prep for the new trees. The crew they sent were extremely skilled in getting one of the oaks into a corner of the property on a slope....it was very precarious...but they did it. Amazing job. When the trees were already in for several months and my guy, who was responsible for watering, flaked on me...Jimenez had somebody swing by a few times and recommended different watering....which saved the trees.
