Get matched with top outdoor kitchen pros in San Antonio, TX

"Think twice before hiring this company. This review is based on how we were treated by the owner Donnie Ferguson. We hired Diamond Decks to install a patio cover in our backyard. The cover is beautiful. The material matches the house and the craftmanship of the fireplace, roof and woodwork are exactly what we wanted. Here’s where it all went wrong. The last job was to stain the concrete both existing and the new walkway we had them install. The crew did not power wash the 10-year-old concrete before staining. We contacted the project manager right away and asked why they were not power washing and he said the crew didn’t think it needed power washed. Ten years of dirt and they didn’t think it needed power washed? Prior to staining, the crew put samples of the color on the concrete and asked for approval of the color. They didn’t wait for the stain to dry but had us sign off on the color while it was wet. The certificate we signed says “Do not sign this certificate until all services have been satisfactorily performed and material supplied or goods received and found satisfactory.” Despite this warning they had us sign the certificate prior to the stain and seal being applied. Let me also point out that no one asked us what we wanted the stain to look like or guided us in any way to get the look we wanted. The stain looked nothing like we wanted so they came back and applied another color and seal and made it worse. We reached out to Donnie and let him know we were not happy with the stain. His resolution was to charge us another $10,000 to do an overlay on the two patios and then apply another stain. Donnie believed it was the old concrete that was the problem and thought we needed an overlay. We received quotes from two other companies to fix the stain. Neither company thought we needed an overlay. Instead they would remove the seal and stain and reapply the color we wanted. We again reached out to Donnie and respectfully asked for a reduction in our final payment of $7500 to fix the concrete stain. This was his reply: Absolutely not. We are experts and what we do and the color selection you picked does not need multiple coats. I do not care who you are getting your false information from. And you cannot remove foot print and terrible texture work that is in the concrete work we did not pour. The imperfections would be difficult for anyone to see because they are enhanced once the color and sealer are applied. This has one of the best sealer you can use and this is specifically why the form says DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM Unless you approve the color. It’s not an easy product to strip off hence the reason it last much longer and that’s why we use it. The balance owed is now past due $41628. I will need payment in full by the end of day or I will need to notify the attorneys that the contract breach is made. You’ve signed all the paperwork we asked of you and now you wanna insult us by telling us you want us to refund money cause you don’t like what you selected. This is the owner of the company, threatening, insulting and hostile. We of course were not in breach of contract and he knew it. They had just completed the work seven days ago. Again, think twice about hiring this company. They showed a total lack of concern about our dissatisfaction and blaming us for the results of the concrete stain. I will say that Casey, the project manager, was always professional and showed empathy for our concerns."

"We chose Cornerstone Masonry for a concrete retaining wall project with an amphitheatre built in the middle. They offered competitive reasonable estimates and actually offered what we didn't know we were looking for in chop block and flagstone. We thought we wanted a concrete wall with some texture or veneer decoration, but when we saw the chop block option we knew immediately that's the one. Phil, the project manager, has decades of experience in this business and is very knowledgeable of the craft. He and his small crew of Roger and James worked diligently and precisely to bring our idea to life. With Phil's suggestion we also had an area next to our driveway that was just stepping stones redone with flagstone. Tim, the owner, was always timely in communication and responsive to texts and calls from us with questions or concerns about the build. Cornerstone Masonry removed and hauled away our old railroad tie wall, built us an amazing beautiful wall with amphitheatre and slab, and did it quickly and efficiently. The end product looks great and we're ready to start hosting gatherings at the house! Thank you Cornerstone Masonry!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Forever Green 2 Landscaping, LLC from beginning to end. The staff was courteous, professional, and delivered a project that turned out even better than we could have imagined. They made sure to ask plenty of questions during the site visit to verify they understood our vision for the project, provided samples of the types of artifical grass to choose from, and were able to begin work within just two days. Each day the team arrived punctually, worked diligently, and made sure to asked us questions about preferences as they navigated the various project stages. The teams work ethic was outstanding, and the finished product was more than we could have asked for. I highly recommend the tram at Forever Green 2 Landscaping for any of your future projects."
