We interviewed about 5 concrete driveway specialists before we found Ignacio and his Unique Concrete Creations. His quoted price was average relative to the others. But his specifications, expertise, project management, and followup were exceptional. When I say "specifications" I'm refering to the inches of concrete, size and spacing of the rebar, and preparations of the layers under the concrete. We were concerned about getting exactly the texture and color we wanted. Ignacio obligingly made substantially sized samples so we'd see what we were getting before the concrete was poured. The job was executed efficiently and professionally with modern machinery and tools. My only regret is that we didn't find Unique Concrete Solutions before getting quotes from the other suppliers, because we could have saved time and effort. read more

Just a follow up on my review on unique concrete and Guzman landscaping! Placed a total of 11 calls to both companies and have never heard back from either of them. They are the WORST companies as far as taking care of the neighborhood during their time of construction. I'm asking that if anyone knows anybody who works at either one of them to please respond to me. Everyone tells me to file a police report. I would much rather take care of situation out of court than file a lawsuit against them both!!!! read more

We were referred to unique concrete creations by a friend who also used them. Ignacio was very quick to respond throughout the entire process and professional and trustworthy. Came out multiple times to help with our bid prior to hiring them on. We covered existing aggregate with bluestone, changed our pool coping, removed grass and put in turf, laid a concrete square patio, putting green, and built a patio cover and outdoor kitchen. Ignacio worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. He went shopping with us and always kept us in the loop. His team was nice and respectful and worked quickly. We had an issue with some stone lining up due to the complicated pattern/pool shape and Ignacio and his guys made sure it was removed and relayed to make it right which we really appreciated. Our backyard looks beautiful - thank you unique concrete solutions! read more

See all

I recently had the hardscape in my front yard redone to incorporate vintage bricks and tile mosaics. Ignacio helped me accomplish this within my budget to make a yard that is truly beautiful, unique and personal. His crew is competent and careful and make every effort to deliver exactly to design. Ignacio and his crew are dedicated and reliable. They finished my job in about 2/3rds the time I expected the project to take. I was very pleased with the outcome and would recommend them to others without hesitation. read more

We used Unique Concrete to demo and replace stamped concrete in our backyard with new pavers. The process was seamless and easy from quote request to final walkthrough. Ignacio and his team were total pros, great to work with, and the project finished on schedule. The site was kept clean and secure for my dogs. I highly recommend Unique concrete for your hardscape projects. read more

Omg, Just got a bid, almost $30,000. I feel like it is extortion. The others bids I got were from $9k to $16k. I won't be using this company. read more

I highly recommend Ignacio and his crew for your concrete needs, especially if you're in the South Bay and interested in a water-permeable surface (see details below). They did an amazing job handling our unusual hardscaping needs. For the estimate, Ignacio was on time, professional, and knowledgeable, and demonstrated attention to detail. We appreciated that he told us what he did and didn't know, and what he did or didn't want to take a gamble on. The work they did for us was: demolition of an existing driveway and small walkway, grading of the lot, a new concrete patio/work area, a series of embedded concrete pads for a front walk, and installation of a water-permeable driveway surface, Rockpave. It was the first time Ignacio and his crew had installed this product, but they did an amazing job. I highly recommend Unique Concrete Creations and Rockpave, especially if you want to stop water runoff from your property (good for replenishing the aquifers, and good for the bay). Since Rockpave is still new in the U.S., we had last-minute material delays and sporadic weather delays (well...that was our gamble for trying to install close to the rainy season). Ignacio was always responsive, and clear on when his guys would be available. We also really lucked out with Ignacio because the Rockpave vendor didn't have very many trained installers in the South Bay. We asked Ignacio to take a look at the Rockpave website and he said he was willing to try this. The concrete work he and his crew did was great, and the Rockpave together with the embedded concrete pads for the front walk looks amazing. I also have to say, their other work looks quite impressive: complex concrete projects that require attention to detail. Sometimes, I kind of wonder what his crew thought of our weird concrete needs (some flat, boring concrete pads, and then this crazy permeable gravel product), but we're so very pleased with our driveway. Highly, highly recommend Unique Concrete Creations. read more

We had a somewhat unusual design for the new driveway we wanted poured. After being ignored or blown off by other contractors because it wasn't a big enough or standard project, I contacted Unique Concrete Creations, and Ignacio came out for a quote the same day. Ignacio was great to work with. He immediately got what we were trying to do, and over the next week or two we worked out all the details of the project. When it was finally time to do the pour, he made sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. His crew was great and worked fast. This is not the cheapest concrete contractor you'll find, but his team are licensed and bonded, the end result looks great, and I'm confident it'll hold up through the years. read more

We hired Unique Concrete Creations to demo 60+ year old decking around the pool and replace with new concrete decking including a cantilevered coping. This was all in coordination with a pool remodel as well as an entire hardscape and landscape project. Ignacio and his team did a great job from day 1 through the entire project. They clearly communicated with me the estimate and worked in tandem with the pool company and landscape contractor throughout. All of which was vital to a successful overall project. They showed up on-time (and with masks) and didn't waste time or take short cuts. And their attention to detail was first rate as precise measurements and slopes of the decking was crucial to the project. Experience matter and I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing quality concrete work. 5+ stars for Unique Concrete! read more

We recently completed a retaining wall and drainage project with Ignacio. He may not be the cheapest contractor but his quality of work and attention to detail is worth it. Ignacio completed the project on time, was there on a regular basis to supervise, responsive to any concerns and very professional. A top quality contractor and we will happily use him on any other projects! read more

Unique Concrete was great! Estimate: Me and my husband after a long time of contemplating whether or not we should fix up our backyard I finally decided to give Unique Concrete a call. I called them on a Monday morning and they were at my house later that evening to give me a quote. Ignacio came out and was very nice and helpful, answering any questions I had. I must of asked thousand questions, :). After going over the options that I had, Ignacio sent me an estimate the next day. After comparing them to the other estimates and seeing that their price was right in the middle I decided to go with Unique. They were highly reviewed and I fell in love the quality of work of the projects on their website, plenty of pictures which is super helpful because I ran into lots of web pages with just words and I want to SEE what you can do not just read about it... So that was extremely comforting to me in the process. During: Overall I was extremely impressed. Their crew was here bright and early everyday and were always so hard working, they even finished the project a little sooner than I expected. Everyday before they would leave they would make sure to tidy up, sweep the street, and lock up. Ignacio and Roberto were here everyday making sure the project was flowing smoothly and we always keeping me informed on the status of the project. They were always quick to address any concerns or questions that I had. I would give Unique Concrete Creations an A++, overall very pleased with their work and excellent craftsmanship. I finally have the backyard that I always wanted. :) read more

Review for Igancio Ureno, Owner of Unique Concrete Creations (UCC) These are the reasons it was such a great and pleasant experience to work with Ignacio and his crew at Unique Concrete Creations over a six week period: 1. Quality - the quality of the work that UCC does is very high. Ignacio gave us a great product: 726 sq ft of bluestone pathway, bluestone steps up to the porch, and 3 stone planter boxes w 2" bluestone caps. All carefully and masterfully done. It was a pleasure to watch "The Maestro", one of Ignacio's crew members, carefully place each stone on the stone planters to create a balanced and symmetrical and beautiful pattern. It was nice to see someone who took a lot of pride in their work. 2. On the Job Site - Ignacio was on the job site almost every day; he was accessible and available to talk about any part of the project. He texted us in the morning when he arrived to alert us that he was there. 3. Collaborative - Ignacio was always checking in with us via text to see if we had any requests or issues that needed to be dealt with. He was very responsive to any requests we had. He allowed me to go w him to the stone yard @ Peninsula Building Material and pick out the bluestones we wanted. He worked to find additional stones at several stone yards when I asked for a specific color of certain stones for the stone planters. 4. The Crew - Ignacio has a small crew that he knows intimately and most have been with him for years. The crew was hardworking, always on time, worked a full day, friendly and appreciative of snacks and beverages we offered them each day. Ignacio himself worked the tractor and did other jobs, as well as, his wife does the bookkeeping and even drove the truck to the materials yard! Everyone did their part! 5. Payment Schedule - The payment schedule was outlined very specifically up front on a sheet of paper in the contract and outlined when a payment was due after each segment of the project and the amount. This made managing of the budget for the project very easy. There were no surprises with respect to the cost; no overages except for what we requested additionally of him to do. 6. Ignacio - Ignacio himself is personable with an engaging personality and quite informative about the world of construction, especially during Covid. He started at 15 and worked up to owning his own business. Quite impressive. Overall, a wonderful experience, only good things to say! Highly recommend! read more

Please note we hired Ignacio with Unique Concrete to complete two major projects since 2008. The first project involved the installation of flagstone around our pool deck, steps leading to the pool area and flagstone retaining wall. The second project involved installation of a flagstone patio, fire pit and decorative lighting in our backyard. We are thrilled with Ignacio's professional approach to detail, response time to project work issues and is highly recommended.

I am so happy with my new driveway and recommend Unique Concrete Creations highly. Ignacio is a perfectionist and checked on all the work being done. He went above and beyond our expectations, giving us a beautiful new driveway. He was very polite and professional. read more

We were very impressed with Ignacio's professionalism and his integrity. We were given a fair price for a lot of gravel and stones to be removed, along with a deck, and for quite a bit of concrete work to be done in our backyard. Ignacio said he could finish the work in two weeks, and they did. His brother Roberto and his crew were amazing, hard working and just nice people. But what surprised me most is how clean they were. After going through a remodel, you come to appreciate people that respect your home, and they impressed me daily with their ability to leave the street and my yard so clean. Ignacio was always helpful, on time and honest. It was a great experience, from start to finish and we would not hesitate to recommend Unique Concrete for any concrete construction work. read more

We redid our backyard from scratch about two years ago, and decided to go with Ignacio and Unique Concrete Creations on the recommendation of our landscape architect, and because his quote was reasonable compared to others. He did an awesome job and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. So much so that when we later embarked upon a massive remodel on our house, one of the most significant changes we made was opening up our kitchen/living room to feature it. We ran into an issue with our fire pit related to (indirectly caused by) the remodel, and Ignacio was quick to respond to fix it, free of charge, two years after his project ended. He takes pride in his work and is with you long term. read more

We had Ignacio and Unique Concrete Creations redo our driveway and sidewalks going into our home. We are VERY VERY pleased with the whole experience with Ignacio and his crew. The driveway and sidewalks are beautiful! Ignacio told us it would take about 2 weeks to do the job. He was true to his word and the whole project was done in the two week timeframe. The men were ALWAYS ready to work by 8am everyday; they even worked Saturdays. We could tell that the crew has worked together for a long time because they worked together seamlessly. We will definitely recommend them to any family or friends needing any concrete/paver work done. GREAT JOB! Thank you Ignacio. read more

Unique Concrete Creations is the best. We love them. Ignacio and his brother saves our job in Los Altos Hills. They do excellent work especially on hillsides. The workers are professional, on time and so hard working I was worried about them at times. This company takes care of everything, the city, the permits, the reviews, the gas line, the electric -- the owner does not have to worry about the job quality. Our retaining walls are excellent and without being asked they put in drainage and piping for irrigation and electric so that set up near walls will be simple. The travertine patio has a poured foundation which is solid and cleanly done, the stairs are grouted with wonderful coping and our patio is elegant. All extra material orders and needs for change were brought up quickly and not performed or ordered without approval by us as owners. We are so happy to have found Unique Concrete Creations. My husband wanted to go cheaper at first which was a disaster, I called Ignacio and he was there in an hour to reverse my disaster and get the project back on track. Unique Concrete Creations saved our very large project. read more

Unique Concrete did a fantastic job on our front yard. They widened our driveway with exposed aggregate, put in a stone paver walkway, added a mow strip around the yard in exposed aggregate, and put in a new sidewalk. Ignacio the owner got right in there working with his crew and the attention to detail was way better than we ever expected and his prices are very reasonable. Ignacio works great with the client and returns emails promptly. We highly recommend them and will use them again the first chance we get. read more

Great job both front and backyards. Ignacio returned my estimate quickly with great cost effective suggestions. Once we decided to go for it, we laid out a few things and they were off and running. They seem to get along with the city inspectors. Robert and the crew were very professional and the finished product was better than my wife and I could possibly expected. We are very grateful. The scope of the project was backyard patio (cut stone) and cover, drainage, gas line for bbq and fireplace, stamped concrete driveway and side walkway, front lawn and sprinklers, cut stone porch, columns, and walkway, and planting areas. Thanks for transforming our home! read more
