Called Barnyard Specialties to help us address a water issue we were having inside a storage room…read more The building is an old house that was converted into a commercial retail space. The concrete in the rear area was poured over the wall weep screed so water was slowing being absorbed into the wall and creating a mold situation inside. Micah from Barnyard met me onsite and he spent a lot more time than expected measuring and talking over options. Micah was very knowledagble and found creative ways to remedy the situation while still considering our budget. During the design conversation he made quick calls out to his subcontractors to verify costs and timing so everyone could jump in and tackle this project as a team. I've been a contractor in San Diego for 40 years, have run crews and worked along side many other long-time trade professionals. I was impressed with this initial meeting so much we hired Micah and his team at Barnyard the next morning and we couldn't have been happier. The pre-planning we did and coordination from the start made the entire process run smoothly to the end. We ended up removing all the existing concrete that was poured too high and sloped toward the building. Removed more than 8-tons of dirt. Sawcut the exiting slab tight to the wall for a good look which required removing 36" of stucco to get the big sawblade tight to the wall. Re-stuccoed the walls with a new weep screed and installed several new in-ground drains and down spout connections. big jobs, small jobs all add up to many small details, if someone pays attention to all the details you have a winner. If you're looking for a job to be completed right the first time and working with happy, pleasant people, look no further than Barnyard Specialties. Thank you Micah and your team for working through our small but tough situation.

Victor and his crew worked quickly and efficiently. When the job was complete, everything looked and worked great.

It was clear from the start that the entire company ethos is to ensure that the customer is happy at the end of the project.

I hired Newland Landscape to do a complete hardscape/softscape "makeover" of the front of my home. First, when I started research on a landscaping company, out of all of them I contacted, Newland Landscape was the most responsive and easy to do business with. This really made the experience so much better, not having to chase contractors with inconsistent responses and questionable bids. Secondly, the bidding process and billing was transparent. This also made me comfortable. When additions to the project were identified, a change order with the associated charges was clearly provided and agreed to before any work was conducted. Finally, for the work done, the outcome was outstanding. Great value for the price! Newland Landscape worked with me adjust designs based on the actual work in progress. It was collaborative. The owner, Roland is extremely experienced and made great recommendations. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Dave and his crew transformed it into a space we truly love spending time in as a family. We put in paving stones throughout the entire yard, installed a beautiful patio cover with fans and overhead lighting, relocated our AC unit, and a built-in fire pit. Dave coordinated every detail seamlessly, which made a huge difference for us as first-time homeowners taking on a major renovation. Dave was great to work with. He took the time to explain each step, answered every question we had, and made us feel confident in every decision. On top of that, the project moved very quickly!

My initial plan was to repair the area but soon became clear that aesthetically, it would not be the right decision. So I reached out to several businesses via Yelp. The first company that came to my home was Dave Pratt Designs. It's a family business, Dave is the dad and his kids are in college and are EXTREMELY involved in the business as well. They were the ones that initially came to my home. They showed up on time, dressed professionally and were extremely knowledgeable. They set the bar EXTREMELY high as most other companies were not as professional and I did not feel comfortable with their presentation. Also, the price point was more than fair with Dave Pratt. Once my HOA approved the drawings they provided, we scheduled a mutually convenient time for the install. There was a crew of 5-6 people at my home for 2-3 days working in 90 degree heat from 8:00am - 6:00pm non stop. They were incredibly professional and the quality of work EXCEEDED my expectations. I cannot recommend this business enough. Just absolutely fantastic in every aspect and every way imaginable. Much appreciated Dave, Andrew, Matthew, and the crew.
