David and all his team of experts did a wonderful job installing new pavers in our backyard. Our…read moreold concrete slabs were cracked, and had shifted, altering the drainage of water to flow towards our house. After interviewing many landscape pavers, Ideal Engineering stood out for being prompt to all the meetings, willing to visit multiple times to double-check measurements before bidding and were knowledgeable on the current state of available inventory and which showrooms to visit to preview them. Prices were very reasonable and transparent. There were no unplanned mark-ups and all change orders were reviewed and had to be approved by me in advance, so I could budget accordingly. I think this is an advantage of choosing a local paver. The work was efficient and professional - different specialized crews for demolition, irrigation, paving, cleanup were used with their own knowledgeable foremen. Each foremen acted as an available point of contact and communication was easy and friendly. Any texts or calls were usually returned within minutes. The teams were proactive in highlighting any complications or issues that might require design approval to make sure the work they did matched what I had in mind. For example, Pedro, the paver lead felt it was better to create a smooth curve at a corner instead of a straight 90 degree corner, and he was right! The boundaries flowed smoother and nicer with the lawn. The paving work was top-notch. We had decided to install premium pavers from Belgard, and it was important the work was done properly for such an investment. This included grading at the proper slopes for proper drainage, adding weed-resistant fabric, multiple levels of graded stone for proper leveling and polymeric sand for good sealing between pavers. The team helped build custom steps that looked very nice to create easy step-downs and paver edging was done with great style and aesthetics. For a potentially complicated project, I really felt confidence in the team and the process. David also helped offer advise in helping me move and reset our external heat pump units so that they could be reinstalled on top of the pavers. They were able to build conduits to facilitate running irrigation and electricity underneath the pavers for adding drip irrigation of containers and future lighting in our garden. Cleanup was thorough, with parts of our yard reseeded and topped with new topsoil. There was no construction debris left on our lawn or streetside. Everything was swept up. Fence gates that were temporarily removed were re-installed to appear as if nothing ever happened. I would definitely use Ideal Engineering (Ideal Landscape & Concrete) again for future projects.

Torres Landscaping did an AMAZING job installing an interlocking paver pathway in our back yard!…read more The pathway is beautiful and very well constructed (see photos). Antonio and Salvador put in concrete borders (with rebar) to stabilize the path edges and contain the base rock, carefully fit and aligned the pavers, mortared in the outside (sailor) courses, precisely cut pavers to fill in irregular places in complicated parts of the path, and vibrated in polyermic sand as a final step to prevent washout and minimize weed growth. Also, communication with Torres management (Gerardo and Graciela) has been excellent throughout the project, to make sure that costs were carefully scoped out and that we would be happy with the finished product. Considering the quality of the finished product, the cost was quite reasonable. I could not be happier with their work, and highly reccomended Torres Landscaping!

Especially after a rainy winter, our yard looks like a jungle. So there is a lot to do to get everything cut, cleaned up and ready for spring. I am super happy with what Jose and his team does. They are always punctual, and really go above and beyond leaving our yard all taken care of. From trimming trees to weeding flowerbeds to checking the irrigation system and even removing some dead trees, they are doing a terrific job! They are also amazing about cleaning up everything after they are done! It's so clean, I always wish I could keep it that clean throughout the year :). Yes, JDH might be more expensive than other services. I get that. But sometimes, the peace of mind knowing things are done well is worth the money in my book. Thanks again, JDH, for a nice job on the winter cleaning !
