    I'm so pleased with our new driveway! Tony and his crew did a wonderful job. I really appreciated Tony's expertise and attention to detail when we were dealing with the City of Carmel and the permit required for replacing driveways. The City is very particular in what they will allow and the permit process is tricky. Tony took the lead in meeting their requirements so all I had to do was pick out the color of pavers! I would definitely recommend Straight Edge Engr Company to anyone with hardscape needs.

    Tony and his team did a fantastic job with our backyard. Very professional, paid a lot of attention to detail, very willing to make changes mid way through the project. Our project turned out great and was finished in a short time considering we had a lot of rainy days in between. Thank you Tony, will definately give you a call for our next project!

    We bought this house that had a small patio area with pavers, and river rocks pretty much the rest of the way around. While the river rocks were low maintenance and nice to look at, it just wasn't practical - the puppy would chew on them and the humans would trip and stumble walking on them. We found Straight Edge here on Yelp, and Tony came out to take some measurements and emailed us a quote a couple days later. Tony was great and really listened to what we wanted, and was flexible when we wanted to add on another service at the last minute. The price was reasonable and his team worked quickly and efficiently to give our backyard a quality makeover. We originally wanted just concrete all the way around the yard, but Tony explained concrete would eventually crack, so pavers it is then! I wish I had taken more Before photos, but even then, I don't think photos would portray how different and how much more room there is now. We highly recommend Straight Edge. Thank you for all your hard work!

    Where do I even begin?? I started my inquiry last year and wasn't ready to begin. Fast forward to now, I was ready and Tony and his team delivered 1000 times over. Tony is so easy to work with but what stands out to me most is his authenticity and love for what he does. He was so patient with all of my questions and believe me, I had a lot. Even for a smaller project like mine, he approached it as if it were a larger project. He offered suggestions which was super helpful since I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted everything to be. His two man crew works harder than probably 5 people combined. I honestly couldn't believe how hard and fast they work. Their attention to detail is beyond perfection. I wanted a zero maintenance backyard with a putting green and it is so perfect. Thank you Tony and thank you to your amazing team!! I will be referring you to everyone.

    Polymeric sand added to the grooves and gaps on  the entire property. Makes a big difference.

    We literally had about a dozen contractors come over to our residence for quotes... It got to the point where I was getting exhausted, forgetting who was coming over, almost double booking appointments, and just losing interest. After narrowing down the contractors to 2-3 I was in the process of going with someone else other than Straight Edge, but something about that contractor didn't sit well with me. It was the lack of communication. Even though their price was less the lack of communication was a definite red flag. In my opinion sometimes going the cheaper route is not always the best route to take. So I canceled and went with my gut, and I am so glad I did. Tony with Straight Edge was outstanding! He responded promptly to our questions, gave us detailed description of costs, provided an exact start and finish date (finished sooner than expected), gave us a cash discount, and overall was just a joy to do business with. We had to remove a good amount of pea gravel from our side walkway from the previous homeowners which started to become an issue as our little one (2 yr. old) had started to put the gravel pieces in his mouth and laugh about it. Smh... So the gravel had to go!! One side we had half pavers and half pea gravel and on the other side weeds for days. The thing about weeds is that if not maintained on a monthly, to bi- monthly, to bi-annual basis can get out of control pretty fast and that's no fun at all. So the weeds had to go!! Fast forward to the start date. Tony's guys were right on time and went to work. These guys got down. They didn't ask for anything. No bathroom breaks (although I let them know it was okay if they needed to). It was pretty hot so I sporadically went out there and gave them some water/gatorades each day. Roughly 3 days later the job was done and the results were outstanding. In addition to adding pavers that matched the existing pavers, we had them add polymeric sand to the entire property in other areas where we had pavers to just make the area look clean and polished. Lastly, we had Tony extend our concrete out where our front patio is and bring up the drain. Everything went smooth and we could not be happier with the results. We see why their called Straight Edge because the cuts on the pavers were precise and tight. Excellent job to Tony and his crew. Highly recommend!

    I had a very positive experience with Tony and his crew. They were professional, on time, hardworking, and had attention to detail. We had the majority of our backyard hardscape redone with concrete. Tony's crew removed trees, removed old pavers, old concrete, and redesigned the backyard. From my very rough drawing Tony made it come to life! Great guy and great company!

    Here's the finished product--old, cracked driveway gone, attractive new cobblestone drive installed in only 8 1/2 workdays!

    Tony and his crew removed our old, cracked concrete driveway, hauled away the mess and replaced it with an attractive cobblestone drive, installing a drainage system at the same time. They completed the work in half the time estimated, came in with the most reasonable price, carefully cleaned up when they were finished. We are thrilled with the results!

    We had a paver and property divider wall projects that needed be completed. We called a number of vendors. Tony of Straight Edge Engineering was one of those vendors. We looked at his Yelp reviews, which was positive. His quote was reasonable. We decided to use Tony's company. Work was started, which required removing a few inches of dirt, and old irrigation/drain piping, and the old fence. They reset the pipes for irrigation and drainage. Placement was important, for the new fence line that was to be installed. Tony and his crew worked with us to make sure that the project was as we had envisioned. This project also included a couple of difficulties, which Tony and Hector were able to resolve, at a reasonable price. He was very easy to work with. We also had a 20 foot Roman Stone wall done in a couple levels, that will hold a PVC fence line. It came out just beautiful. Despite the weather delays, they were able to complete the work in 4 days. Tony was in constant contact with us throughout this project. We were very pleased. Thank you Tony, Hector & Javier for your excellent work. We'll definitely use Tony for any other projects in the future.

    I can't express how happy I am with my new walkway. It looks amazing. Tony and his team were able to start the project right away and finished the job in less than 3 days. I just can't believe how much better my yard looks. I will be hiring them again when it comes time to redo my patio.

    Apologies in advance if this review is a bit long--it's one of my first, and I'm genuinely happy to…read moreshare my experience. My husband and I moved to the Hollister area about a year ago, and ever since, we've been eager to transform our backyard, which was just a patch of dirt when we arrived. As a first-time homeowner, I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure where to begin, especially when it came to choosing the right contractor. After getting some neighborhood recommendations for New Leaf, we decided to reach out. (Just to note, we had already reached out to several local contractors, but none gave us the confidence to move forward. We always had lingering doubts--whether it was about pricing, professionalism, or trustworthiness.) Javier, the owner, quickly arranged an in-person visit to check out our yard. He shared timelines, and pricing possibilities with us. He also collaborates with a landscape designer, Charlene Brum (www.brumlandscape.design.com). Working with Charlene was such a smooth and stress-free experience (everything I needed!). She created CAD plans to scale, which really eased my worries, confusion and all the unknown. Charlene was incredibly patient, clear in her communication, and so friendly. It honestly felt like talking to a friend who was just as excited as I was to help with my yard. Once the work started, there was no stopping the team! Javier has a fantastic crew that works hard and cohesively. Fernando, who led our project onsite, was very respectful and always took the time to make sure I understood his answers whenever I had questions. It was also heartwarming to see Fernando and crew mentoring a young adult on the team, teaching him about the trade and safety. My husband and I were consistently impressed with the daily progress, especially since some of my neighbors had shared less-than-ideal experiences with their own yard projects. I'm so relieved to say that our experience was nothing like that--ours was smooth! After about three weeks of hard work, the crew finished, and we absolutely love our new backyard and are excited to add our future shed and dog area. Our German Shepherd loves the evolved space too! Thank you, Javier, for delivering such great work and quality!

To be honest most experience professionals can do this type of work but very few will comeback to fix minor or any issues at all, specially after they've been paid. Noe is a man of his word, he came back to make repairs and to make sure that we were happy as a customer! That may friends is worth Gold.
