    One of our new front gates

    We had a great experience. We are grateful for the hard work that Alex, Hooman, and their entire team did to complete this project. We had them add a new portion of our brick wall fence on our sloped hill. It matches perfectly to the older section. We also had them build us two new property gates to match our front door. Everything turned out great.

    Choosing touchstone masonry was the best decision I've ever made. They did an INCREDIBLE job bringing my vision to life. Their crew went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. My Yard has been the talk of the neighborhood! They're starting on my neighbors houses and I'll be recommending them to all my friends and family.

    Our new home's rear yard had suffered from lack of water during the drought. Although we had some vague ideas, we hoped someone could help us make the decisions needed. We found Alex & Hooman on Yelp, were impressed by their customers' comments, and toured several yards they had done. During the process, we were so happy with the rear yard's progress that we decided to re-landscape our front yard as well. Touchstone re-did our drainage (completely clogged with roots), and built a concrete pad and retaining wall where our trash cans can park. Another small curved retaining wall was built to frame our water fountain. We have new drip irrigation, LED lighting, nicely-sized plants, artificial turf, and decorative rock locations--all installed per our wishes. When complete, they pressure-washed all our existing concrete flatwork and seat wall to make it all look new again. When an old pipe failed, they took the extra step to repair it as a courtesy to us. Their work was completed in a professional manner, on schedule, and was competitively priced. Our sincere appreciation to Hooman & Alex and their team for their great work to make our yard beautiful! Definitely recommend Touchstone Masonry!

    Alex & Hooman were easy to work with, checked in with me and their crew everyday. Very happy with the work provided and how my backyard turned out. Extremely happy with the results and with how responsive they are throughout the process!

    I recently hired Touchstone masonry to remodel my backyard. Alex & Hooman did an outstanding job re-plastering my pool with white pebble. They also installed a beautiful BBQ structure with new concrete finish. They were very responsive to my requests. They installed all new pool equipment and were there during every inspection from the city, which was a lot of inspections.. Overall easy process with their crew. Would definitely recommend them!

    Alex & Hooman brought our vision to life! They promptly replied to my request for a quote and listened to the ideas I had for our space and provided their professional opinion to come up with a final plan. They worked with my budget and kept to the expected completion timeframe. Within 4 weeks my new home located in a new construction community, went from dirt to private escape. Complete with drip irrigation, plants, deck, pavers, turf, lighting and gas and electric outlet for fountain. Our patio space is now our favorite place where we love to relax. I would highly recommend working with touchstone masonry

    Thank you Alex & Hooman for doing a professional job. Touchstone and their crew were always on time and they paid attention to details. Highly recommend!

    I hired Alex & Hooman to redo about 100 linear ft around the perimeter of my property so i could actually get some use out of it. Very happy i hired the Touchstone Masonry team. Their crew were always on time and both Alex & Hooman were always available for my questions! Definitely would use them again.

    My fiancé and I moved in this condo unit about 2 years ago and the patio area has been an issue since we purchased the unit. As time has passed, the cracks in the concrete, the weeds growing through the cracks have grown progressively worse.. I called several landscaping companies for quotes (at least one company won't even consider the job unless we were willing to spend $75,000.00) before settling on Touchstone Masonry OC because the concept provided by Alex & Hooman was exactly what we were looking for. They made some good suggestions about the type of pavers and pet turf we should use and picked up the materials once we had made our selections. The project was broken up into two parts which started with the demolition and haul away of the cracked concrete. After the concrete was removed, the next couple of days consisted of laying a double mesh to prevent vegetation from growing back and several types of soil being used to level the patio. The different soil types were layered and were spread out across the patio. The second phase involved compacting the soils and laying the pavers and pet turf. The workers used a bubble level to make sure all the pavers were level as the were being laid onto the patio. Once all the pavers were in place, the crew lifted the pavers around the edges, dug a trench and filled the trench with a quick dry cement. They replaced the pavers they removed and waited for the cement to set. Once the cement was set, they filled in the cracks between the pavers with a special sand. The next part was measuring, laying in and nailing down the pet turf. Once the pet turf was in place, the crew planted the solar lights we had purchased into the pet turf at a reasonable distance from each other. The final part of the project was sealing the special sand into the cracks which prevents the sand from coming out of the cracks if we hose off or sweep the pavers. If too much of the sand is removed from the cracks, the pavers will come lose since only outside pavers are cemented in placed. Alex & Hooman showed up several times during the course of the project to make sure things were being done to our satisfaction. The project was complete in the specified time frame and we couldn't be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend Touchstone Masonry OC if you are thinking about hiring someone for a landscaping project!

    Touchstone masonry handled our backyard remodel which consisted of demo, installation of new pavers, BBQ islands, water feature, plants, irrigation, artificial turf and some lighting. Hooman & Alex worked with us to execute our design ideas and offered tasteful solutions to accomplish our remodel goals. The touchstone masonry team were very hard working and accommodating to our change requests. They installed a 4k Aluminum patio cover for us which looks amazing and gives us plenty of shade. We are extremely happy with our end product and recommend Touchstone Masonry.

I've seen other contractors take months to complete a job that these guys did in like 2 weeks. JC supervised the work and did an excellent job of addressing all of our concerns. My wife and I are very particular about how we like things done, and whenever anything was not to our satisfaction JC had it fixed or redone with zero complaints and zero delay. He was very responsive to our text messages and never left us hanging.

    I recently worked with Jake Jo and the team at Echo Family Landscaping for a major backyard…read morerenovation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

    Jake and his crew completed a rather large project on our new construction home that took…read moreapproximately 10 months (pool , spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, custom pergola, front, back and side yards, water features, landscaping, etc...etc.., but it was well worth the time and cost. We purchased a home in a new development, so we vetted many different companies to build all the features we wanted on an empty canvas (ie: dirt lot). Our budget was around $290-$360k. We got around 6 bids, which we narrowed down to 3. Out of the 3, Jake gave us the most confidence in his knowledge and eye for details. We visited some of his previous projects and were thoroughly impressed. A lot of our neighbors used competitors that were cheaper, but when we saw their completed projects, you could see a lot of corners that were cut and the shoddy quality. Some look down right terrible. The majority were unhappy with the work provided by those companies. The crews were constantly changing on the same projects (subbed out to 3rd party) and there was no post-completion support. I know that there have been lawsuits filed on some of the projects. Our home, on the otherhand, has been the highlight of our neighborhood and we have people constantly taking pictures and asking for details on Jake. Not just because of the design itself, but also because of his hardworking crew. We've been beyond happy with Jake and his team and love showing off our new outdoor space. Echo was at the top end of our budget, but the quality is A+++ and 100% worth it. He didn't cut any corners and his crew pulled 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 10 months. Best thing is that Jake personally checked the quality of the work on a regular basis. If anything was off by a tiny bit, Jake redid it to make it perfect. I consider myself to be detail oriented, almost to the point of being unbearable, but I never had to worry about the work being done because of the QC by Jake. This in itself was worth it. The crew was consistently the same people and HIGHLY skilled. Some of the best work I'd seen. Ricardo was our project lead and so talented and friendly. All the team was very respectful and thoughtful. They cleaned up after every day and never blasted music or talked loudly or cursed. (Which was very important to me because my neighbor and I work from home). They were kind to my wife, kids, and neighbors as well. My parents also hired Echo to fix various issues around their yard and pool and had the same experiences we did with very proficient and highly skilled crew members that worked hard. Also, the small issues we had after completion were addressed immediately. Most contractors rarely come back after you've finished paying them, but Jake really values his clients and takes pride in making sure they're taken care of before, during, and most importantly, after the project is done. There are tons of companies out there, but nobody really does it like Echo and I HIGHLY recommend them. It's worth the investment, not just financially, but also the time and memories you will have enjoying the beautiful space and features.

    Hillside Pavers - Courtyard driveway in Fullerton, Ca.

    Hillside Pavers

    (105 reviews)

    There are renovations that improve a home -- and then there are renovations that fundamentally…read morerecalibrate how that home exists within its environment. What Byron Schley and the team at Hillside Pavers delivered for us falls squarely into the latter category. Ours is one of the oldest houses on the block, my grandfather built it himself in the early seventies so needless to say there is sentimental value here, the years were told loudly in its dated facade ever more blindly as one by one and year by year the houses around us became more modern and desirable and that contrast was ever more noticeable when it became every other house on the block. Before this project, our front yard was little more than a narrow, uninspired strip adjacent to the public sidewalk that functioned more like spillover from the street than usable property. It did nothing to reflect the scale or architectural presence of our three-story, beach-adjacent home. Today, that same footprint operates as a private, structured courtyard -- a defined outdoor living space that feels intentional, modern, and architecturally integrated. The Techo-Bloc paver installation is executed with geometric discipline and clean proportional balance. The contrasting border trim sharpens the layout, and the modular patterning reads refined rather than repetitive. Where water once pooled visibly, the drainage now performs efficiently and invisibly -- The upgraded water line alone was transformative. What used to produce barely a trickle now delivers pressure so strong it rivals commercial output .The underground drip irrigation system is intelligently concealed beneath the hardscape and reemerges precisely within the base of our large entry planters. It is automated, timer-controlled, and calibrated for plant health without visual clutter. For us gardening is a foreign labor, the system removes guesswork and replaces it with precision. It lays the groundwork for what will be Madagascar jasmine and Rainbow's End climbing roses to ascend the custom trellis Speaking of the trellis -- it is a custom design by Byron himself and serves as the architectural anchor of the entire entry sequence. Its linear steel geometry frames the approach to the home, introduces vertical rhythm, and gives the courtyard presence and scale. The black powder-coated aluminum slat fencing, set atop a raised paver foundation, creates privacy without heaviness.The laser-cut gate beneath the trellis introduces texture and artistry, especially when lit from behind at night. And the lighting system integrated along the fence base and entryway is hospitality-grade in execution. The perimeter wash creates a subtle floating effect. The laser-cut gate panels glow from behind in layered depth rather than harsh brightness. With full color customization available, the space can transition from understated architectural white to vibrant holiday displays with precision. It feels closer to a Ritz-Carlton courtyard or private club environment than a residential frontage. Most importantly, the project didn't just improve appearance -- it created usable square footage. It has become the preeminent gathering space of our home. it is upscale functional living space.The neighborhood response has been immediate .Neighbors who we barely knew for years have introduced themselves. Passersby stop to compliment the change.The property now projects the level of architectural coherence it always deserved. We approached this cautiously. Prior experiences made us exacting and demanding clients. Byron handled that with patience and professionalism. When questions arose, they were addressed. The end result reflects accountability and pride in workmanship. Hillside Pavers is not inexpensive -- but quality rarely is. There is a tangible difference between budget work and engineered, finished craftsmanship. This project did not simply beautify our home. It expanded it. If you are seeking exterior transformation that blends infrastructure, architecture, lighting design, and true spatial creation -- Byron Schley delivers work that justifies the investment. The result is not just attractive.It is world class work accompanied by attentive customer service . Rarely do you see people that live by the age old idiom anymore who's motto is the customer is always right! But With this outfit that's exactly what you receive and working with them was transformative . I highly recommend their services to any and everyone who are sick of simply average work and service that only toes the industry line, if you want something more, something world class and a good experience throughout call Byron Schley and hillside pavers (+1 (714) 613-2500) , I cannot sing their praises high enough and this review doesn't even give them the credit they deserve so one last time Thank You Byron and thank the boys down at hillside pavers for an amazing job

    We recently completed a major paver project with Hillside Pavers, and I can honestly say the final…read moreresult came out even better than I imagined. We were referred to Hillside Pavers by a close friend who had completed a similar project not long before ours, and that recommendation gave us a lot of confidence going in. After going through the process ourselves, I can absolutely see why they spoke so highly of the company. From the beginning, Byron made the design and estimating process feel very clear and professional. One thing I really appreciated was that he used an iPad on-site to draw out the design, calculate measurements, and price everything very accurately. It was not a vague "ballpark estimate" type of process -- it felt transparent, exact, and easy to visualize, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. Byron also helped us finalize the color choices, especially for the walkway, and his suggestions made a big difference in the final look. Roberto, who supervised the on-site construction work, was also excellent. He really listened to my concerns, took the time to discuss details with me, and most importantly followed through in the actual work without any issues. That meant a lot to me because I care about both design and functionality, and he handled both very well. Casandra in the office and Oscar as the business manager were also great throughout the process. They were organized, responsive, and helped keep everything coordinated smoothly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. What stood out most about Hillside Pavers overall was that they listened to our preferences and worked with us instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. The workmanship, communication, and attention to detail were all strong, and the finished project truly transformed the property. During the project and especially after completion, we received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends, which really confirmed for us how well everything came together. I would absolutely recommend Byron, Roberto, Casandra, Oscar, and the entire Hillside Pavers team.
