The work they did included extensive vine and root removal, brick work, extending a retaining wall, building a fence, rock-scaping, sod laying, irrigation work, and planting a variety of plants including privacy bushes, small plants, succulents, and a fruit tree. The Bilt by Cam crew did such a nice job and finished quickly.

The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond. He answered every call and text quickly. I couldn't have asked for more. I've already recommended SD3D to all of my neighbors, and recommend them for small or large projects.

When we started looking for vendors, we had several companies come out and got a variety of answers of what was possible or not, and also how long the process would take. They all had delayed response times, and odd requirements that were really off putting. On a whim we reached out to Install It Direct to get yet another option. Man we are glad we went with them. Steve was great and quickly turned around a rendering and captured our vision almost to a T after our first conversation. The shinning star of the entire project was Troy, from day one we knew he was understood our vision and had our best interest in mind with every decision we had to make. He checked in with us regularly, kept us abreast with everything happening and whenever an issue arose (which were all minor and expected) that we were presented with pros/cons for each solution. He made us feel like we were a priority and that he genuinely cared about the outcome. All in all, it was a great experience. We love our new yard and would highly recommend IIT and Troy to anyone. They were able to make our dream backyard come to life.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

He was prompt in responding and came out to see how he could improve our outdoor space. We were interested in pavers, synthetic grass, lighting, and possibly irrigation. Ronni's experience showed right away as he had a vision and offered design suggestions. His price included everything and as we made small changes during the job, he was true to his quote. Once the job started, Pompeyo the foreman lead the crew and installed a beautiful makeover of our yard. I give North County Pavers, owner Ronnie, and foreman Pompeyo my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a quality paver solution!

Ben brought a perfect blend of creativity and practicality to the project. He helped us work through ideas for bark vs. rock swale areas, oak-friendly deck details, plant massing, River Wattle spacing, fencing and gate options, and even long-term maintenance considerations. The design is beautiful, functional, and perfectly aligned with the modern-Mediterranean feel of our home. Although the installation was done by another contractor, the clarity of Ben's drawings and notes made their job significantly easier -- everything was laid out so cleanly that there was almost no guesswork during the build. If you want a landscape designer who is thorough, communicative, and genuinely invested in making your space both stunning and practical, I highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape. The design alone made a huge impact on the final outcome of our yard.

San Diego's Finest!!…read more Professional, prompt, reliable, and a pleasure to work with! James was straight forward with his bid. He was definitely a no nonsense kind of guy. I had to kick another company out of my house because they wanted to spend 2 hours giving me a weirdo slide show to upsell me. Not my style lol. James basically said hello, measured, and gave pricing within 30 minutes. I knew that moment I wanted to hire them ... but it gets better! Everything was clear and concise. Nu Wave offered the best material with excellent warranties - both workmanship and manufacturer warranties. Nu Wave's pricing was extraordinarily fair compared to the other 3 bids I had prior. You can tell they care to give clients the best options. Something my husband and I, as new homeowners, were super grateful to find. The install went SUPER smooth! Everything from the removal, to the irrigation, to the install, and even the clean up. Their crews were super nice and respectful. They were in and out in less than a week. They worked hard in the blazing sun - so we made sure to give the crews water and lunch daily for their tireless effort to help us turn our house into a home. When I say James was responsive .. this man was R E S P O N S I V E!!! He showed up to check in almost daily, and always made sure answer our calls or call back ASAP if myself or my husband had questions. We are now 2 months post project, and he still responds to questions/suggestions we ask about for planting, etc. I 10000% recommend Nu Wave. As someone that is very Experienced with working with contractors and manufacturers regularly, Nu Wave is the best!! I dare someone to try and prove otherwise. ;)

The owners walked me through the entire thing from the first meeting. They made recommendations when I didn't know and provided detailed plans for both yards. The crew did top notch work and worked incredibly fast. They didn't miss a single detail I asked for and even cleaned up some older areas that I didn't specifically ask for. Both my front and back yards were combinations of artificial turf, pavers, and river rock and the crew did a phenomenal job tearing out the old and prep-ing for the new materials. They delivered on budget and AHEAD of schedule. I whole heartedly recommend NuWave to anyone considering making updates to their outdoor living spaces.

We had to work through an obstructive HOA, which caused unnecessary and illegal delays, but Omri stuck with us. We also encountered an unanticipated drainage issue that we resolved together. , The fence and retaining wall are not just well-constructed; they are beautiful. If you are seeking cheap, Beyond is not for you, but if you are looking for quality that will last for decades at a reasonable price, they are a good choice.
