These guys are the best - so professional, always on time, and they do PHENOMENAL work. We bought a house where the owners had recently redone the back yard, but a lot of the work was poorly done and the design was laid out awkwardly. Carlos (owner) and Carlos V came out for the estimate, and immediately impressed us by how many measurements they took, their suggestions for materials, and solutions they offered for our issues with the yard. We chose them over another contractor, even though they were slightly higher in price, because we felt they would be easy to work with and would deliver on their promises. I'm happy to report that we were right! List of work we had done: - covering existing plain concrete with wood-look porcelain tile - removing concrete path against house - removing bbq island & built-in firepit - rebuilding bbq island in new location with concrete counter and smooth-coat stucco - building built-up planters on both sides of bbq island - pouring concrete mow strips at edge of grass to separate the plants from the grass area - removing existing plants and grass - installing turf in the grass area - electric outlet added for outdoor TV - installing turf strips between driveway pavers The crew did an excellent job of making the new masonry tie in with the old - ex: there were concrete toppers at the base of the beams for our patio cover, and they matched the bbq counter, topper for the planter, and mow strips to the same color and thickness of the existing concrete, so it all looks so cohesive, like it was all done at the same time. The only reason these pics look a little unfinished is that there are currently gaps for plants that we plan to add later. The crews were courteous and always cleaned up after themselves. We had most of the work done during the COVID-19 lockdown, which made things a little difficult, but the crew was respectful of our wishes to keep a distance, and Carlos and Carlos were always willing to discuss things over the phone. They were also incredibly responsive whenever we had questions, and were willing to come back and fix a few minor things we asked them to change. If you're considering yard, masonry, landscaping...anything...you'll be incredibly happy you chose West Hills Masonry! We now have our dream yard thanks to these guys.

I Believe most of us read reviews to find out if the company we are considering using is.... Reliable, honest, timely, caring, along with a good value. West Hills scores 5 stars in all categories. Carlos Gonzalez was our project manager and from the time we made our appointment for the consultation through the complete project he always kept us informed and always got back to us when he said he would. The quality and craftsmanship these professionals supplied made our back yard beautiful. I would highly recommend West Hills Masonry and Carlos to anyone trying to choose who to do business with.

Working with West Hills Masonry has been a pleasure from the beginning planning stages through the finishing touches. Shout out to Carlos and Angel for doing great work on-site, dealing with a few last minute adjustments, following through on my requests to get things done a certain way, and all the workers who exhibited overall high quality workmanship. For example, on day 1 of the project I decided I'd like the site of a future shed to have an outlet as well as a power source for low voltage landscape lighting. Carlos discussed options with me, ranging from them taking care of the complete installation of the electrical and landscape lighting, to various options involving me doing more of the work, to the degree that I am comfortable. We settled on a very reasonable option that met my goals to keep costs as low as we could. And it might not sound like much, but I appreciated the small things, like that our yard was cleaned up at the end of each day. I had easy access to the project managers via text message, so that I could get status updates and communicate any changes that were needed if something did not seem quite right. They were always flexible and courteous with any change requests I made. Lastly, I wanted to mention that they handled the unexpected hiccups along the way very well. Things that to me seemed complicated and challenging were handled very smoothly, like my AC unit needed to move slightly, or how to create a pleasing transition from existing concrete to the new pavers along a walkway extension that was added in the middle of the project. Thank you West Hills Masonry!

We are extremely happy with the work West Hills Masonry did for us on our front yard and driveway remodel. They demolished and removed our old cracked cement driveway and walkway. West Hills Masonry laid out and installed our new front walkway and our new driveway. The driveway was with beautiful stone pavers. They installed stonework on the house as well as building columns/pilasters with stonework for new fencing. They also installed new irrigation, landscaping and lighting. West Hills Masonry personnel were neat, on time, hard-working and completed the work in the timeframe they gave us in their quotation. Carlos Gonzalez, the project manager and Carlos Vasquez, the project supervisor, were very professional and easy to work with. All of their crews were hard working and competent. Wayne did an excellent job in laying out and installing our new pathway/walkway. Carlos Gonzalez quoted our project. Our quotation for the entire project was clearly detailed and broken down with all the components of their work clearly defined. This was very helpful as we knew what we were getting and at what cost. There were no surprises. We did not receive this from the other companies that quoted our project. Everything came together so nicely and we love the look of our front yard. We would highly recommend West Hills Masonry for anyone considering hardscaping, landscaping and lighting.

Found WHM through the Belgard site. I was not looking forward to another major project because of my previous experience with another contractor where I HAD to get involved or risk shotty work. Fortunately, this was not the case with West Hills Masonry (WHM). I was pleasantly surprised that my interaction/monitoring with WHM was minimal. Be absolutely clear on what you want from the get-go and the rest is clockwork. Carlos' teams are very efficient without sacrificing qualtity of workmanship. Pricing was fair and again the quality/results were exceptional. Thanks to the West Hills Masonry team and leadership for providing an excellent experience that was relatively stress free.

Driveway- still wet after installation cleanup

I highly recommend West Hills Masonry because the customer service was excellent, the price was reasonable, and the finished product was beautiful. I had received a quote from another company a few months ago to install pavers on my front walkway and porch, but it was too high so I decided to wait. I'm so glad I waited and found West Hills Masonry on Yelp. Carlos responded promptly on Yelp and set up an appointment. He brought a catalog of pavers and made suggestions. Because his estimate was lower than the previous company, I also asked for an estimate to do the driveway at the same time. We were so happy with the estimate that we decided to add the driveway to the project. In order to decide the color of pavers Carlos had 6 different pavers from two companies delivered to our house. We also drove by homes where he had installed pavers so we could see how they looked on a larger scale. The projects we saw were beautiful and further convinced us that we had made the right choice. The installation was two weeks later. During this time he promptly answered all questions by texting or calling. He even answered texts after hours and on Sunday! He is very responsive and easy to work with. The demolition and installation was amazingly quick. Carlos estimated 7 days or less to complete the demolition of existing concrete, to prep the area, and to install 1000 square feet of pavers. Because he added more workers, the project took only 3 days. At the end of day 2 we had a complete driveway and front walkway. Only a small area on the side of our house was left for day 3. The crew led by Angel was hardworking and polite. They worked rapidly and did a neat job. It was amazing how much they accomplished in just 2 days. Neighbors driving by complimented us on how beautiful it looked and asked for the name of the company which we happily recommended.

Just added El Dorado Stone to our home, the first step in a complete overhaul to our curb appeal. Carlos and crew did a great job from start to finish, I can highly recommend them for all your stone, concrete and demo needs.

Based on the photos posted, I wanted to show that West Hills works hard no matter the budget.  They were so clean and tidy!

Absolutely not. I wanted something low maintenance, low water, and something that still added curb appeal to our home. After researching a lot of landscaping companies, I finally came across Growscapes OC. Joe came out to give us an estimate, and while I was speaking with him I could tell he had a vision for our redesigned lawn. I relied a lot on his expertise because I wasn't 100% sure what I even wanted. Soon I had a quote (which seemed reasonable enough to me), and a mockup to give us an idea of what the new space could look like. Soon the project began. The crew was courteous and professional. Everything was well communicated. After 5 days our new front yard came to life - from dead grass to desert garden. Immediately we were getting compliments from our neighbors. The house now looks so much more inviting because of Growscapes OC. Thanks Joe and your team!

They took total advantage because we're elderly and know nothing about plants. We just took out the $3000.00 worth of shit They sold us. 1) they sold us tropical even though I said they wouldn't work because our backyard gets too much direct sun and heat. Anthony assured me that didn't matter. All that mattered was water. They ALL died within a few months 2) I was told the drip system they installed could be adjusted for each plant to get more or less water. Not true 3) I explained the dirt they were planting in was old and depleted. I was told the dirt didn't matter. They did not treat the dirt or even fertilize what they planted. 4) the drip system they put in had a control that it has a 300 page online manual. Even their installer didn't know how to set it up and was unable to explain it to me. YET he told me it needed to be updated every 6 months when we changed the batteries. Of course we were not told about this requirement until instalation was completed. As I said earlier we are elderly! I asked for a simpler timer and they said there was no option. 5) they are NOT woman owned and operated. Yes, the scamming husband put the company in his wife's name for tax purposes but she CLEARLY knows nothing about plants or landscaping. When I had them come out to see the dead plants she never spoke. Her husband and Anthony did all the arguing and yelling and put all the blame on us. I have never experienced such lack of professionalism in any service industry. All I asked for, and still feel we are entitled to, is a refund. The dead plants have been removed, the inadequate drip system has been removed, and we are starting over. I was duped by a morally bankrupt company. Don't be fooled by the fake reviews on their web page! They have no place to leave a review on their web page and they aren't here so where did those reviews come from?? THEY ARE SCAMMERS! BE WARNED!

From beginning to end, Jake and his team were professional, efficient, and great to work with. Jake was incredibly proactive and involved throughout the entire process. He consistently followed up, met with us to select flooring samples and plants, worked within our HOA guidelines, and provided everything we needed for HOA approval. He also stayed on top of the permitting process and followed up with the city to keep everything moving. What we especially appreciated was the quality of their work and attention to detail. The crew never rushed the project just to get it done. They took the time to make sure everything was done properly while still keeping the project moving and staying on schedule. The entire crew was hardworking and very respectful of our home and space throughout the renovation, working 6 days a week. Even after the project was completed, Jake continued to be extremely responsive. We had a few minor items that needed follow-up, and he addressed them right away. We really appreciated that the same level of service and responsiveness continued even after the job was finished. We're so grateful to Jake and his team for doing such an amazing job and completing everything on time so we could enjoy our new backyard this summer. We love how everything turned out and would highly recommend Jake and the Echo Landscape team to anyone considering an outdoor renovation!

I can't say enough great things about Jake Joe and his team at Echo Homes. From start to finish,…read morethe entire experience exceeded my expectations. Our project included a full transformation of our backyard, courtyard, and side yard, and the results are absolutely stunning. Jake installed two custom fire pits, beautifully laid porcelain tile, and a customized louvered patio cover. He also helped with the placement of patio pots and selecting plant material, carefully considering sunlight, plant hardiness, and overall aesthetics. Everything feels perfectly balanced and thoughtfully designed. Even though I had a professional landscape design to start with, Jake suggested several updates that elevated the entire space, giving it a more modern and upscale look. He truly has an exceptional eye for detail and is resourceful at troubleshooting. His crew, Moi and Paco, were equally impressive. They were onsite every day from 7am to sunset, Monday through Saturday, and their work ethic was unmatched. Moi, in particular, stood out. He is incredibly diligent, knowledgeable, and professional. It was clear that they approached every step with care, always "measuring twice and cutting once." They took the time to think through details and identify potential issues before making any cuts, which gave me a lot of confidence in their craftsmanship. Jake's commitment to quality really sets him apart. If something wasn't perfect in his eyes, he had his team redo it even if it was solely for aesthetics like the placement of a pot. His adjustments and recommendations made the final result even better. This wasn't only about getting the job done quickly, it was definitely about getting it done right. The end result is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Jake Joe and Echo Homes to anyone looking for high-quality, thoughtful, and beautifully executed landscaping work. (I wish I could've said this about my house remodeling contractors - no comment!)

Once the design was agreed upon, we were given a price and a start date. We felt so comfortable with Bryan and his staff that we didn't even explore other bids once we had the design (which the customer owns) in place. Bryan, the owner, is very patient and knowledgeable and gives you the feeling that all the details will be taken care of.

To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs.
