I forget who came to our door, but OCIP was doing work in our neighborhood and we got a quote for work we wanted done. A few months go by and our old backyard fence was in the final stage of falling apart so we contacted Alex (aka turtle) who provided the initial quote for us and he came back out and gave us the final numbers and all. We ended up getting the whole backyard wood fence taken out and a new vinyl fence installed. Chris the project manager was always in communication with us and his foreman Ivan was always on site and answered any questions we had. Couldn't be more pleased with the result, would recommend them to anyone. read more

We needed to have a trench across our driveway filled and pavers replaced, as well as some other miscellaneous repairs. OCIP did an excellent job on short notice. We especially appreciated the "can-do" attitude by Alex and his workers. read more

I'd caution anyone from placing too much weight on this company's high rating, as my recent experience involved a last-minute cancellation, poor communication, and ultimately being ghosted. I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Chris truly knows his trade and is very personable.The workers were here as scheduled, always on time, and worked the entire day. Every one of them was very professional, and hard-working. I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to give OCIP the credit it deserves. Our front entry and pathway looks great; we've received many compliments from neighbors.

Had an awesome experience with OCIP. Was looking to demo an old in ground jacuzzi, and add new pavers to backyard plus replace the cracking concrete on driveway with fresh concrete. Started the process with Alex who came by to discuss the project and start the quote process. What I liked about Alex was he is very knowledgeable and can answer questions on the spot based on experience. He's also very responsive and easy to talk to and not pushy at all which I like. After getting the quote and discussing the various options Alex gave me time to think and we started the project on an agreed date. Alex estimated 4-5 days to complete the whole project which I thought was optimistic but they actually completed every as promised on time. The crew was led by Oscar. They arrived everyday on time and had all of the right tools to get the job done. Very organized and professional and plenty of manpower. There were no surprises and the crew workers were very hard working and wasted no time to get the job done. I have done many home renovation projects and this was by far the best experience I've ever had and would work with this company again in the future without any hesitation. read more

Orange County Interlocking Pavers (OCIP) Just completed our replacement driveway & completely fulfilled ALL our expectation! Their communication prior to install was nice. Jason confirmed what I was looking for and had some great ideas to address my concerns! ALWAYS good. Frank also did a great job of communicating to me before and during the same installation. He was aware of everything going pn, but a real focus on making me happy. Oscar managed the guys on site, to complete what was promised t by Jason. REAALLY good call from 4 bids! Fair price! read more

OCIP has completed 2 jobs for me. The first was to demo my old concrete driveway, haul away the old concrete and install new pavers. Alex and the project guided me through the process and were responsive to all of my questions regarding the impact to my adjacent landscaping and irrigation lines. My driveway accommodates 6 vehicles so the work was significant. The second job was to replace a section concrete adjacent to my pool which had been damaged through lifting and cracking caused by the roots of my 20 ft tall birds of paradise. The project manager addressed my concerns regarding the pool system, and the crew did a good job of installing new mastic between the concrete and the coping bricks. I am pleased with both projects. read more

I have a garden of native California plants that had decomposed granite paths flowing among them. Unfortunately weeds would take over the paths and detract significantly from the beauty of the yard (and also add to the labor involved in maintaining the yard!) The solution of naturalistic paving stones to replace the DG turned out to be the perfect one! OCIP did a beautiful job and now the focus is on the native plants, where it belongs! The whole yard looks so much more balanced and seems like it's inviting the visitor to a leisurely stroll! read more

We had a great experience working with OCIP for our backyard renovation. From the first meeting with Alex to the final walk through with Frank, the customer service and communication were amazing. They answered any questions we had with transparency and knowledge, giving us recommendations and options whenever we were unsure of design choices. We have worked with other contractors and OCIP was by far the easiest and most reliable to work with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest, customer focused general contractor, with excellent quality at a fair cost. read more

Alex, Chris and Guillermo were very professional throughout the process. We met with OCIP on 01/31 and hired them on 02/01. The only "bump in the rode" we faced was that it took a long time to get the project started. We did have to wait until 3/19 for the patio to get demolished and worked on. The phrase "Good things come to those who wait" was our motto. It was difficult but we are so glad we waited patiently because we love the turnout. Guillermo and his crew were always punctual and working hard to accomplish the daily tasks. He was very honest and knowledgeable in what we could and couldn't do. He will give it to you straight! Chris, the project manager, was very communicative throughout the process and sent many pictures while we were at work. They stayed late and delivered as promised. They finished our patio within 3 business days. If you're looking for a trustworthy company, then I highly recommend OCIP! read more

My wife tracked down OCIP while researching contractors to basically re-do our entire exterior space (driveway, entryway, side & rear yards incl. patio, replacing retaining wall, as well as resolving a decades-old lack of proper drainage). Heather did a site visit, discussed our options, took measurements, and drew up a beautiful proposed site plan that (along with the many 5-star Yelp reviews) convinced us to go with OCIP. Shaun, Scott, Ivan and the rest of the OCIP crew did a fantastic job. The various hiccups that are encountered when undertaking a project like this were handled equitably, with professionalism and no drama. 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. We are elated with the finished product, and recommend OCIP unequivocally for anyone looking to upgrade their home. Great work, competitive pricing, friendly employees--thank you, OCIP! read more

Our concrete walkway was cracking and pieces were slowly making its way into the pool. We were thinking about repairing the concrete (bandaid fix) or just simply replacing the damaged concrete slabs. After some research about concrete in general (strong material but tend to crack over time) + not wanting to repair and/or replace our concrete walkway every so often; we ended up with pavers as a solution and that's how we came across OCIP Co. (Orange County Interlocking Paving Company). I initially reached out to OCIP Co. back in May 2024 regarding the damaged walkway concrete. I called and made an appointment. Super easy! The appointment was penciled in and Alex showed up exactly on time. He walked around our property while discussing the goals for the project. Alex was very informative! We agreed on the life expectancy / tolerance of concrete. I told him that I wanted something as strong as concrete but a little more forgiving with movement. He provided detailed information about the materials, project itself as well as pictures of previous projects so I can get a visual of how the project will / can turn out. By the time we got all our ducks in a row (researching materials, HOA review & board approval, etc.), it was October 2024. At this point in time, the prices for the materials had increased. No fault to OCIP Co. We decided to push forward with the project. Alex arranged a meeting with all members of his team. It was great to see the entire team brainstorm and coming up with ideas / solutions for the project. During the meeting, some concerns were expressed about the project. Ideas were presented to achieve the desired goals for the project. Unfortunately, this also increased the grand total slightly. With all the price increases, the grand total was definitely over our targeted budget. I informed Alex and he worked with us (switching materials and identifying comparable replacements, etc.) to make it affordable for us. After the contract was signed, we agreed on a start date which was mid-October. Time frame for project completion was approximately 3-4 weeks. Our project manager (Frank) and project lead (Oscar) as well as the entire demolition team showed up early on the project start day. Demolition started right on time and actually finished before schedule. A lot of debris fell into the pool as expected. Most of the debris sat there until the project concluded and unfortunately the rust from the rebar stained our pool's PebbleTech. Not a big deal. The construction work was quick and sufficient. Each paver was position meticulously. The install team did a great job! Both Frank and Oscar popped in every so often to check if everything was on track. One gripe that I have... some of my concerns regarding the spa area was not communicated with the builder / installer. Since the spa and pool was partially drained, I wanted to make sure that specific concern was repaired and fixed before refilling. I don't want to drain the spa / pool twice. I had to explain the issue to the builder / installer multiple times to get the problem addressed. But at the end of the day, it got addressed and turned out great! Other than that, the project went smoothly. The attention to detail is outstanding! The project turned out better than expected and our walkway looks fantastic! My advice is to do your research and reach out when you have all your ducks in a row. That way, you won't have to deal with any price increases and sticker shock like we did. Also, make sure all your goals (for the project) are commutated with the team as well as documented on the contract prior to signing. Keep an eye on the progress and make sure everything is aligned with your goals. Huge thanks for everyone (Alex, Frank, Oscar, Tyler, and the rest of the team) that helped us make this dream a reality!!! read more

Staff: Truly impressed by their prompt follow up after I contacted them. Communication between us was top notch. I worked with Alex who was very organized, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. Alex was able to give us a quote when I provided the measurements and after he came out to verify measurements, the price was honored. The team that did the install were great. In fact an Amazon package arrived while they were working and they kindly knocked on the door to give us. Such a nice gesture. 5 stars for staff for sure! Quality/Quantity: We had previously had pavers installed in our backyard and had a lot of extra pavers we wanted to use which prompted us to reach out for a quote. The quality of the work was perfect. Value: The pricing was very fair considering it is a small job. Previously we asked the installer of our backyard pavers a quote to do it and it was much higher. Great thing was they were able to squeeze us in within just a couple of days between other jobs they had. Overall: They are a truly great company all around. From the quote, to the communication, to the work, to the value, to the staff. All around 5 stars for sure. Highly recommend this company. Great job to Alex and team! read more

Start to finish, OCIP was wonderful to work. Our project coordinator Alex communicated timelines and expectations well, and listened to what we wanted and effectively implemented everything into the project plan and subsequent revisions. He also was very helpful with HOA requests to ensure the plan received HOA approval. Can always reach him with questions and hear back quickly. Once work was underway, the project manager and foreman were on site everyday with the crew to ensure accurate execution. The crew worked SO fast - 90% was complete in 1 day and the end result looked amazing! The crew left the site clean and neat at the end of each day. I really had no complaints - very satisfied with their work. Would gladly work with them again. read more

From the first phone call with Tyler to the initial walk through with Shaun (project manager) and Heather (including her paver selection recommendations), to Guillermo and the professional hardworking installation team, our experience with OCIP has been absolutely five star. Their quality, work flow, and organization is superb. Their care of the grounds, managing low impact on the neighborhood, and especially their artistry installing the pavers is highly notable. Communication and customer service are clearly OCIP's top priorities. Shaun kept us highly informed, which alleviated as much stress as possible, especially with the unknowns that inevitably arise with any home improvement project. We love our new pavers and the amazing transformation this team has made in our backyard! read more

AMAZING! I loved working with Shawn and Heather in creating our outdoor dream gardens both in the front yard and the backyard. First, Shawn was so patient as we waited (a long time) for approval from our HOA. Then we moved on it and with Heather's personal help we chose the pavers for the front. Our goal was to eliminate all lawn while still maintaining a garden feel. That's when Shawn and Oscar came in to help design the most spectacular pathway in our front yard. The next project was the backyard in creating a meandering brick pathway through a tropical Zen garden with a fountain. Shawn and I worked together for many hours in creating the perfect balance of curves and garden space. I will try to upload photos. Thank you Shawn, Heather and Oscar for your special attention and care in creating the best outcome imaginable. May you love your new pavers as much as we do. Sincerely, Carrie and Bill Honigman read more

We had drainage issues in our back yard and side yard, and because of that, I had a few landscaping companies come do a bid on drain installation and paving the yard. Even though OCIP was the highest bid, I could tell from speaking with Mike Skilliter (their design consultant) plus looking at the reviews and the size of the projects that this company had done that they are probably the best choice and worth the extra bucks. One thing that Mike mentioned during our earlier discussions that well resonated with me was that "you are not asking for a bid on a finished product" (like a car or something), so implementation details and contractor reliability matter, which can drastically impact the finished product's looks and functionality. AND IT DID! Plus, Mike worked with me to make the project cost fir the budget. As a very particular person with a lot of attention to details of how the project is implemented, I'm typically not happy about contractors quality of work. But during this project I learned that OCIP operates quite differently and customer satisfaction is their number one priority. No project is perfect, but what made OCIP stand out was their willingness to work with me to get my complete satisfaction. Mike, Frank, and Oscar are all wonderful people and it was a pleasure to work with this team in this project. Mike had great design ideas that complemented the projects quite nicely. Frank and Oscar did a great job implementing the project. They were both present at the job site quite frequently (everyday or so) to make sure all is going smoothly. Any issues that I raised were also addressed. Their crew was also great, very respectful and with good morale and attitude (especially Jaser, sorry for the potential typo). Overall, I can say confidently that I'm quite happy with how the project went and turned out. Not only the pavers completely transformed the side and back yard, they installed a great drain system and gave me additional entry points (drain covers and atrium drains) due to my concerns about water pooling, etc. They also installed a step at the front entry with some lights underneath which added greatly to the aesthetics. I was also watching them pretty hard during the demo to prevent potential damages to the house, but I found that they are very diligent and know what they are doing. They also made sure to stick with the project timeline, and finished a few days earlier than promised, which was great. They also did a few courtesy repairs and work, which I guess they did not have to. So to whoever is looking to pave their yard, do drain installation, etc., my recommendation is to give OCIP a try (especially Mike, Frank and Oscar), ask them a lot of questions; you should be able to tell who you are dealing with by the responses they provide!!! I will provide an update in 6 months or a year as to how the pavers and drain system hold up and function over time. So to those with a knack for details, stay tuned... lol read more

Definitely recommend! They were a pleasure to work with and we're very happy with the end result. The HOA approval took forever, but the team at OCIP was very patient and got started as soon as we got the green light from HOA. Once we got started, the whole project got completed within 2 weeks! Heather and Shaun were very helpful in making things happen and organizing the whole project. Guillermo and his team worked very hard and went above and beyond in multiple instances. We appreciate them all a ton. Our plants are still in the early stages, but we're excited to see them start to grow over time and fill in the spaces of our planters. We'll be making good use of our new yard and creating lots of new memories with the family here. read more

We hired OCIP in the summer of 2024 to redo our backyard hardscape, and overall, we're very happy with the results! They demoed our old concrete, installed beautiful new pavers, and added a new drainage system. We got bids from five contractors. OCIP wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but we went with them because of their outstanding 5-star Yelp reviews -- and for the most part, they delivered. The Process: Before work started, we submitted plans to both our HOA and the city. OCIP was responsive and helpful with a few questions that came up during that process. Demolition went smoothly -- they quickly removed the old hardscape and even took out a palm tree for us. Installation was mostly on time, and the end result looks fantastic. The new backyard has made a big difference -- we're spending way more time outdoors now and loving it. We had 8 drains installed, and after the first big rainstorm, we found one was improperly sloped. OCIP responded quickly and fixed it within a few days. Since then, everything seems to be draining as it should. A few things to be aware of: * Communication was generally good, but there were a couple of times work began without any heads-up, which caught us off guard. * After they re-sloped around the repaired drain, there were some visible gaps in the paving sand in that area. Also, the paver around the drain looked to be a different color than the rest of the paver system. * We've also noticed additional paver sand gaps in other parts of the yard. Not sure if that's expected, but based on what we've read, the joint sand should last longer than 9 months. * We also opted for paver sealing (added after the original quote). While the result looked nice initially, the price seemed high for what was around 60 minutes of work -- and unfortunately, we've already started to notice some stains on the sealed surface. All that said, we're still very pleased with how everything turned out. If you're considering OCIP, we'd recommend them. read more

We met with SEVEN different companies for the backyard project and picked OCIPC because of two reasons. First was your reviews on yelp, couldn't find a bad one! And second, and most importantly, from the moment we met Heather it was a no-brainer of who we would choose. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly knowledgeable, creative and professional. After we thought we hit the jackpot with meeting Heather, we were introduced to Shaun! His charisma, humor, and attention to detail was unlike anything we've seen in the construction world! And then to top it all off we met Jorge. Wow! I mean, it's like you've established a roster of absolute rockstar's on your team. As construction novelists we have heard horror stories about doing any kind of work so we couldn't believe that each day your crew showed up on time, worked so hard and brought our vision to life in such a short amount of time. Shaun communicated with us each day, so we never were not in the loop of what was going on which was key. We also have three small kids and all of the workers were so respectful and friendly ( even when I had a whole 1st grade class over one day and all they did was spy on the workers!) Truly, cannot believe how stress-free this whole project was for us and fun! Thank you again to your team for being excellent at their jobs. We are already planning our next project, the front of the house. Can't wait to start. read more

I highly recommend The Orange County Interlocking Paving Company! I reached out to the company after reading their reviews on Yelp and seeing their work through the photos provided. We requested a quote for a small backyard (40x10) that needed paving and a small amount of cement removal.. Shaun reached out to me very soon after I requested a quote and was very knowledgeable about the entire project including the project size, timeline, material availability and price. I had to wait for my HOA to approve submitted architecture plans, Shaun was very patient snd understanding throughout this time and reassured us that when we were ready to move forward he would get us scheduled. Once everything was cleared the job was schedule within a week and completed in two days. I would highly recommend OC Interlocking Paving Company if you are looking for a change to your landscape! read more

We recently embarked on redoing our backyard. Being new to the area, I didn't know any contractors or have any recommendations that I could trust and rely on. I stumbled upon OCIP and spoke to Shaun. Shaun is everything all the reviews say and more. He is patient, reasonable, skilled, and awesome! He listened to everything we were thinking of doing, knowing very well we may have adjustments along the way. With Shaun is Guillermo, his foreman. He is just as amazing as Shaun and makes a truly great team. Guillermo and his team are so easy to work with and beyond respectful of what the client wants. In any project, there will be a point where the homeowner needs to make a decision, Guillermo is the type of person who will give you options and what each one will mean to you. He is thorough and just as patient as Shaun. I was blown away by how easy it is to work with this team. I highly recommend them for any outdoor project. Thank you, Shaun and Guillermo! read more

I talked to about 4 backyard remodel companies before landing on OCIP. I was happy with them from the start. They walked me through what the project would look like. Let me know that they would have a foreman and project manager overseeing the project, were able to give me competitive price and also gave me feedback on my crazy ideas- which could have been more lucrative for them but was ultimately not conducive to my goals. The project went well and everyone was a pleasure to work with. If I decide to redo the rest of my backyard... I'm def going to go with OCIP. read more

I wanted to replace my concrete driveway and side yard patio and walkway with pavers, and the side yard with a putting green. Alex responded the next day and provided sketches and ideas within a couple of days, and quoted a very reasonable price. He brought Chris, the head of the work crew out to view the job, and Chris provided some excellent suggestions how to deal with some problem areas. I did some research on industry standards and recommendations, and Chris and Alex both told me what they were going to do - without my prompting on the standards I had reviewed. Once the project started, Chris and his crew not only met the standards, but exceeded them. The final project looks great and I've had many compliments from neighbors. I'm glad I found OCIP and have some other projects in mind, and I will go to them first. read more
