After reading all the positive reviews, I called Leyva Concrete and spoke with Alfredo. He came out, looked at the space and we talked through the process. I made adjustments to the original scope of work, and Alfredo was super-accommodating. His team finished the excavation work that I started, then prepped for the concrete pour. These guys know exactly what they're doing, taking care with the surface finishing and all the cleanup. True craftsmen. I'm so glad I went with the professionals. They're prompt, the communication is great and quality of work is exceptional. Alfredo and this Team at Leyva Concrete are truly amazing!

This is ONLY because we checked daily work and instructed them to fix mistakes and sloppy work. They spent a lot of their time redoing what should have been completed right the first time. Daily progress (or lack there of) showed us that the owner/project manager (Tevita/Mata) is not a good project manager nor that he gave his crew clear direction on this project. The process after contract signing was horrible...not at all professional. The project took much longer than Tevita initially quoted (over 2 months vs the 2 weeks he originally told us). This resulted in change orders and cost overruns. He also tried to charge me to fix their breakage/mistakes/errors (e.g., fixing the sidewalk his workers broke). His crew was not respectful of our property (we had to live with their mess...it's not a vacant lot). They did not regularly clean up the work site nor organize equipment and materials left onsite. Seeing their lunch garbage (cans, bottles, wrappers, etc.) at the end of their workday was common. This continued even after repeated complaints to Tevita and to his crew. No one on site could to provide straight answers as to that day's work or when specific project goals would be completed. Whenever I would spoke with him, Tevita made excuses, provided misinformation, denied deliverables he previously promised, and deflected from answering direct questions. He has a habit of talking over the customer when asked questions he doesn't like. On at least one occasion, he raised his voice and started yelling to avoid answering questions. If it was not in writing, he'd say it wasn't what we discussed. I have never had such issues when working with professional/reputable companies. Tevita and his crew failed to meet every single deliverable date he set. I found him very difficult to work with. I feel that he does not show proper respect to the customer. Instead he appears to think that the customer, the person paying him, should accept subpar work. I suspect that he may also not fully understand the processes involved with the work being performed. I feel that Tevita and Lamata Concrete are not professional. They didn't use professional equipment and they didn't manage the job site or their onsite work time professionally. Their workers typically started late morning and were gone by early afternoon. Lamata Concrete has major logistical problems. They couldn't get an adequately-sized crew or required materials to the job site at the start of any given day, typically interrupting workflow for hours to go fetch supplies. Had they staged materials and tools at the worksite (where there was ample area to store all materials needed for the entire project) and had his crew worked a full 8 hours per day at the job site, I believe they could have finished weeks ago. They are SLOW...3 weeks for a stamped concrete driveway and pathways. I definitely CANNOT recommend them for a cinder block wall. It took way too long (over 2 months) to complete. I feel like they have never built this type of wall. I regret hiring Lamata Concrete. I CANNOT recommend Lamata Concrete nor would I use them again. They were such a hassle to work with compared to the many other professional/reputable companies I have hired. My opinion...take their negative YELP reviews seriously and ask for references and talk to those references. Tevita's response is a great example of how he makes excuses, provides misinformation, denies promised deliverables, and deflects from addressing the real issue. I find it a bit childish and very unprofessional.

This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

We hired Garden Mamas to maintain our mature hillside garden. While we thought it a bit strange…read morethat we had a different crew out most every time, we were assured by Tamara that she had communicated what needed to be done - she was managing the crew. This method seemed to work mostly, although we had to tell the crew each visit what to do, as mostly instructions had been partially communicated. One day, she sent two new people. We told them to trim two bushes on the stairwell and to pick up the leaves, nothing else. This was also communicated to Tamara a few days prior, but like most times, the crew seemed clueless as to what to do. When they were done and had left, we discovered that they had BUTCHERED our garden - most of five++ years of growth was cut away and in a most unappealing fashion. Her crew ripped out plants that a previous crew had installed only a month prior, had trimmed four bushes that were covering an unsightly wall into lollipop shapes, completely exposing the wall, trimmed new growth off of once per season budding plants without any care for shape or aesthetics, butchered slow growing manzanita plants that may never recover, etc etc etc. We were appalled and contacted her. Tamara responded to our concerns, but would not or could not take personal or financial responsibility for making us whole. She told us that the crew she sent was inexperienced and had never worked on a personal, mature garden (only on storage facilities and office complexes), and that she did not have the $$ to replace the plants destroyed or to pay for someone else to replace the plants (as we told her that we could not work with her anymore). We thought about going to the CSLB so that we could at least recover her bond, but did the time/money calculus and finally settled on her paying for two plants to be replaced, at another landscaper's wholesale cost (approx $500). So far, it has cost us over $10000 to get the garden back to where it was, and it will take a few years for it to look as good as it did prior to November 2025. We tried to support this independent, woman-owned business; but her model of a different crew every time coupled with an inability to run her business in a fiscally responsible manner makes it impossible for us to recommend her to ANYONE

It's seven months later and I am still enjoying admiring and tending to my plants as they grow.

I am pleased to share our experience with Veterans Concrete, particularly with TJ, who was instrumental in the success of our project. From the outset, TJ demonstrated a high level of professionalism, characterized by his honesty, integrity, and straightforward communication. Our project, which lasted several months, encompassed a range of complex tasks, coordination and sequencing. TJ went above and beyond his call of duty for our project, which revealed a character that is hard to find these days. TJ managed the following phases: The massive excavation of a hillside slope, Construction of an ADU foundation, Construction of multiple retaining walls, Hardscape and drainage install, Layout / pour and finish of a sport court, and Layout / pour / and finish of an outdoor loggia foundation. Throughout the project, TJ showed up on time, everytime. TJ's reliability and positive can-do attitude was a key factor for our sanity during a long and challenging project. Even when faced with challenges, his upbeat demeanor helped create a reassuring atmosphere. He not only tackled issues head-on but also made us feel at ease, providing calm reassurance during the most difficult situations that arose. His commitment to maintaining a supportive environment was invaluable and contributed significantly to our overall satisfaction with the project. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with TJ from Veteran's Concrete for a complete replacement of my driveway, and I couldn't be more satisfied. From start to finish, TJ was extremely professional and respectful, listening carefully to all of my requests and ensuring they were incorporated into the project. His pricing was incredibly competitive--literally half of other estimates I received--yet the quality of his workmanship was second to none. Throughout the project, communication was clear and friendly, and I always knew what to expect. TJ was upfront and transparent about every aspect of the job, from the timeline to the materials, and everything went exactly as he said it would. The project was completed right on schedule, with great attention to detail and expert management. After the work was done, TJ and his team left the site spotless, taking care of all the clean-up. On top of all that, TJ even provided me with invaluable advice for a future backyard project, saving me money and giving me insight I hadn't considered. I highly recommend Veteran's Concrete to anyone in need of high-quality, reliable concrete work at an unbeatable price! read more

Tj is a master at concrete, a true professional. My project was very difficult, the structural engineer, over engineered the project, as they do now so they are not liable for anything. So my retaining wall required 10 - 12 foot deep piers, 24 inches in diameter. The rebar cages were made with 6 pieces of #9 bar 19 feet long. If you don't know what #9 bar is it is rebar that is 1 1/8 inches thick. These were massive rebar cages weighing hundreds of pounds. The retaining wall was 7 - 9 feet high and roughly 40 feet long. Tj know plans and knows his concrete process. He worked with me and the structural engineer to find compromises when needed because the engineer clearly didn't understand some of the in-field issues when building such an elaborate project. Tj is truly passionate about his work and cares about the job and his customers. He is a salt of the earth guy with a heart of gold. My wife loves this guy. He is a Marine veteran and carries those same strong disciplines and commitments in his work now. I have him on board for the next portion of my project and wouldn't consider anyone else. read more

TJ is a no nonsense, very knowledgeable, and highly experienced concrete master. He is very honest and strives to provide the best quality of work with some of the best competitive prices you will find. In addition to removing and replacing a very long concrete driveway and patio, TJ added additional pathways and concrete planter with minimal additional costs as we both agreed it would make the project look a lot better. TJ brings integrity to his work, when he spotted a shoddy gas pipe leading into the garage he immediately contacted a plumber to assess the safety and we eventually had to replace. TJ and his crew are hard-working and professional. We are very happy with the work, it is not only aesthetically pleasing with a smooth finish but it also very functional as it drains very nicely. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade their concrete. read more

They stabilized the fence with new posts (rather than stabilizing the old posts like another contractor had suggested). Quick and efficient- done in one day.

His bid was lower than a couple of others because he did not replace the entire squares, but ground and patched the cracks enough to satisfy the City inspector.
