"We hired Scorpion to install and remove our holiday lights. They installed, collected money, and scheduled a return visit to remove the lights. They were never seen again. They will not respond to messages, nor will they finish the job they were paid for which simply makes them thieves."

Black Diamond has been family owned & operated since 2004 with local offices in San Jose, Novato, San Mateo, San Ramon, Santa Cruz, Carmel, Ventura County and Sacramento. With an exemplary reputation of being the leader in paver stone and landscape design & installation throughout California, our company’s ultimate goal is to provide an exceptional client experience. Our family of experts will create your custom Dreamscape with a commitment to professionalism, quality, value and customer service. We work with “Experts Only” to achieve 100% customer satisfaction by offering the highest quality work, including a 27 year warranty on paver installation & a lifetime warranty on paver stones.
"We hired Black Diamond for a very large project: A complete redo of our front and back yards. Yet not long after beginning our project, we realized our mistake. From the beginning, our project was plagued by an absence of governance, poor quality workmanship and a lack of project management. In hindsight, the warning signs were present even before we signed the paperwork. The contract was poorly written, with ambiguous language, conflicting statements and inappropriate terms. For example, buried deep is language that voids the warranty of the driveway pavers should a vehicle the weight of a typical pickup truck drive on them. We flagged and resolved this and the other issues before we signed, but we wonder how many other customers may have signed the contract and thus agreed to what are in some cases egregious terms heavily biased in Black Diamond's favor. Even after the contract's execution, Black Diamond gave little regard to its terms. For example, we negotiated the pricing of prospective contract modifications and included these details in our contract so that we wouldn't be distracted by this process should we wish to change our scope of work. A modification did come up, but rather than bill us according to the specified terms, Black Diamond billed us according to their normal (higher) rates and terms, thus prompting time-consuming and distracting discussions and negotiations to resolve the issue. When it came to the project buildout itself, we experienced a litany of issues and aggravations from the very beginning through the end. These issues were meaningful, occurred repeatedly, added up to a significant amount of time, and in several cases were material to the project's outcome. A short-list of issues include: removal of the wrong plants on our property that we wanted to keep; garbage and litter strewn throughout the worksite and into the street; poor quality craftsmanship resulting in incorrectly designed and installed items; incorrect drainage design and installation; damaged personal property; use of defective parts and replacement of those defective parts with more defective parts; porta potty door repeatedly left open, despite our repeated requests to keep it closed, leading to toppling and spilling of sewage and chemicals on our property; and on and on. Perhaps the core problem with Black Diamond is that it's hard to know where the "buck stops". Black Diamond subcontracts out the primary on-site work to other landscape construction firms. Thus, we thought that one of Black Diamond's core value-adds would be project management, including managing the subcontractor by undertaking responsibilities such as overseeing their work, double-checking their work quality, and ensuring we received a high-quality deliverable according to specifications. Yet when quality of work issues arose, as they did frequently, it was on our shoulders to identify the problems and bring them to attention. Black Diamond seem to put little effort into quality control. When we brought problems to Black Diamond's attention, it seems their sole action was to simply pass along our words to the subcontractor. That was the apparent extent of their actions. It thus remained on our shoulders to oversee the subcontractor's corrections and to ensure they were actually completed. This made us wonder what it was we were paying for with Black Diamond. It would have saved significant money and perhaps even improved the project execution had we simply hired a subcontractor directly. Since completion, we've repeatedly had problems with plants that were either defective when planted, or planted incorrectly, thereby stunting their growth or killing them. The plants come with a limited duration warranty, so we had them replaced during this window of time. Yet when the replacement plants failed to grow or starting to die off as well, Black Diamond refused to address the underlying cause of this repeated issue, despite the fact that we repeatedly brought it to their attention and sought resolution during the warranty window. We write this review reluctantly. This yard project was the retirement dream of an elderly man. We desperately wanted to love it. But the fact is, dealing with Black Diamond was tedious, exhausting, stressful, and disappointing. It was an eight-month source of anxiety and stress. We hope that our words prompt prospective customers to give more consideration to alternatives to Black Diamond, a suggestion we wish we had received in advance of our selection."

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
