The team was very communicative, and two years later our backyard still looks fantastic. They were helpful, attentive, and detail-oriented. They listened to our ideas, made thoughtful recommendations when we needed guidance, and offered options when we weren't sure (for example, which pebbles to use, sourcing grass or materials). The whole process was smooth, and we would gladly recommend them to a friend or hire them again. Our backyard turned out exactly as we had envisioned, and we're very happy we chose Rivers.

Shout out to Gus who supervised both the projects we had done. Many of the team are family which is nice and ensures a quality well supervised product. We had Rivers do both a complete front yard project as well as an outdoor kitchen. We did these projects several years apart but the team integrated the styles and looks like we had It all done together. They are great about turning your very vague ideas into a reality. They think of things you would have never considered and suggest them along the way. This is not an "upsell" because as long as they are not major design changes they include them in the original bid. If you don't use Rivers you won't be using the best. I can't say enough good things about them.

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.

We found and recently hired Minez Concrete for a retaining wall project, and I can honestly say…read morethis has been the best experience we've had with a contractor. This is the first time we've worked with someone who showed up on time every single day -- no excuses, no delays -- just consistent, reliable work. Oswaldo and his crew were extremely professional and clearly focused on doing the job efficiently and correctly the first time. Our situation was not simple. We had a retaining wall failure and, during excavation, discovered a pipe that we weren't even sure who it belonged to. Oswaldo went above and beyond by helping us navigate communication with the county and making sure we understood what was going on. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which gave us a lot of confidence. We received six different quotes, but ultimately chose Minez Concrete because we felt the most comfortable with Oswaldo -- and that absolutely proved to be the right decision. He even came out on a Sunday to provide the estimate and was right on time, which says a lot about his professionalism. We are already planning to hire him again for a second retaining wall project that requires permits, and he has already started helping us through that process. I'll update this review once everything is fully complete, but so far, if you need a concrete contractor, Oswaldo and his team are outstanding. Highly recommend. 100 stars!!!!!

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!

First time we used Yelp for a project. It was convenient that there were numerous messages that…read morewere sent out to various tree specialists. Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.
