It was a small job that a couple contractors didn't even want to waste their time quoting on, the crew came out early on a Saturday and knocked it out of the ballpark in about 4 or 5 hours.

This is the 4th time this year I've used Roger and his company for landscape projects around my house. Projects hve included driveway extension through installation of driveway pavers; planting of 20 shrubs, weeding and shrub trimming and removal of lava stone mulch and replacement with hardwood mulch around my whole house. I can not say enough great things about Roger and his firm. They are hardworking, polite, effiicent, and have very reasonble pricing. I highly recommend this firm to anyone!

One word can describe Roger, his crew, and their work -AWESOME!!! From start to finish Roger and his team where very accommodating even when hiccups occurred. After the deck was torn off, we discovered there was a lot of wood rot that would need to be repaired before the steps were completed. Roger and his team completed as much of the patio and steps as they could, then once the wood was repaired six days laterby a handyman they came back to finish the job and put flashing to make sure it wouldn?t happen again. Roger and his team are extremely conscious about the work being done as well as making sure the customer is happy. An hour after they finished (and most of the next week) there was a lot of heavy rain and some of the locking sand did not completely dry and was washed away between the pavers on the steps. I called Roger and asked for some sand to put into the gaps on the steps, they came out and reapplied a new layer on top of the whole patio as well as filled in all the gaps on the steps. The sand is now dry, locked and looks great. Everyone was very nice and very hard working, at the end of each day everything was cleaned up and hauled away. They went above and beyond what was in the contract - installing a underground drain pipe leading about 30 feet away from downspout that was draining under the deck, Installing new sod and mulch around the patio...even providing mulch to cover existing beds to hide the dust created from cutting the pavers. Very happy with the results, they went above and beyond for the price we paid. Will definitely have roger and his crew out to do some other projects this fall or next spring

EXCELLENT!!! We cannot say enough good things about this company, the owner and all the workers!!! From start to finish everything was perfect - I cannot remember the last time I said that about any contractor. They started and finished on time even though we had bad storms moving through the area multiple times. The owner, Roger is extremely conscientious about the work being done as well as making sure the customer is happy. The price was more than fare and the end result was beautiful. The crew was very polite and very neat and VERY hard working. It is obvious throughout the whole process that Roger takes pride in his work and it looks like it. I wish I could remember all of the little things that Rodger and his crew did that were not in the contract and not required but they paid attention to every detail!! We already have an estimate for more work next spring and told Roger to expect a call. I only wish that Roger did interior work as well because he is a perfectionist and a pleasure to work with.

The work was done in a professional manner, The work was done very neatly and if there were any concerns that we raised they were all addressed (location of some plants etc). Work was very neatly done and the crew worked hard every time I was there to see - they were very clean and the yard was always picked up. There was a lot of time spend on preparing the patio making sure that it was level and well prepared. The fire pit is more beautiful than I could have imagined and the landscaping surrounding the fire pit is so well done and appropriate. We have had a lot of comments from family and friends and all commented on the quality of the design and the work/
Description of Work: We were looking to landscape the back yard, make some improvements to the front landscaping and add a fire pit, seat wall and expand /repair the patio. There were a lot of shrubs and plants to be relocated, upon the suggestion of the landscape team. Others that had quoted this work said that the shrubs could not be salvaged or relocated and recommended that they be replaced. This would have been more cost prohibitive - so far the relocated plants are doing great! There was a large expansion to the patio and having to merge old pavers with new was a challenge - as the new ones fade a little more they will blend but the overall patio is amazing.

They worked extremely hard the entire time and were very concerned throughout that we were happy. We were!! Great work. We should have easily have paid double for the work they did.
Description of Work: Roger and crew were great. They gave us an incredible deal. The laid brick sidewalks for us in our front and back, installed a brick patio. Buried all our gutter downspouts so they pop out by trees in our yard (wonderful). They also moved 6 trees for us, one of which was 30 ft high. They also regraded and soded our entire yard.

This was the best experience I have ever had with a landscaper from start to finish. Roger was very prompt in coming out, he prepared a design and gave me an estimate. He also considered the grading so that rain water would move away from the house. The work was completed ahead of schedule. They were very professional, very clean and very considerate of property. I am so happy that I plan to use then again when we do the front of our house.

Please see the above paragraphs!
Description of Work: Roger Garcia and his excellent team installed a Unilock paver patio for us in our back yard. The job included tearing off an old wooden deck, and enlarging the space. Roger came out very promptly, and was able to calculate the estimate on the spot. He brought brochures, and also his laptop, where he had a slideshow of past jobs. This was very impressive and helpful. His price was very competitive, and based on that, and his previous Angie's List reports, we chose his company to do the job. We also had him put in a flower bed around the patio, and another separate flower bed. The patio is about 18' x 20', with a couple of corner seat walls. They also noticed that our downspouts needed to be extended further away from the house, & buried, to better direct water away from the house. All of this was included in the above price. The team consisted of 4 to 5 men, and took 4 days. The men were a great team, and worked well together. I was home the entire time, and I could tell that there were no slackers in the group. They did extensive measuring and levelling, and only took an hour lunch each day, with 2 fifteen minute breaks. Everything was cleaned up beautifully each day. Since the job included some brick-cutting, there was a lot of dust created, but at the end of the job, they blew the dust off the house, and also hosed it down. We are so pleased with the work, and I even told the guys that day, that they created a work of art. We're delighted that we chose them, and would definitely recommend them to others.

We actually used them twice and he was really awesome. His price was really great. They were clean in their work and never left anything lying around. They literally could come in and do a job in a day. They had enough people working here to get it done in a day. I had the neighbors out in the backyard watching and they were so impressed. The owner is very responsive. Their pricing is very competitive and the work is very good. We were very pleased and that is why we had them come back and do more.

Roger was great o work with. Came over in a timely manner to look over everything. When the due date arrived I had to call them at noon because they hadn't shown up. They were running behind and forgot to call. Worked that Friday and Monday to finish the job. Would have liked a little more communication from the boss or the crew during the job as I wasn't aware if they were coming on the weekend or not.

As noted above they were here as promsed and the work was done very professionally and the gentleman (Martin Jaime) who gave us the estimate was there all day to supervise the work. Martin was always concerned about what we thought about the work as it progressed and discussed various issues with me throughout the day. The work was completed by 3:30PM. They did an excellent job with the clean up of the yards and removed all materials, etc as requested. They even brought in a power washer and cleaned the sidewalks and the driveway off. We were very please with the work performed and the manner in which it was perform. We would certainly use them again and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Estimate received was prompt and accurate. They promised to arrive at 8 AM on the 11th and were here at 7:45 AM with a full crew and several trucks and lots of equipment and all of the nexcessary materials. The work was very professionally done and it looked great when completed. The work included replacing a landscaping wall across the front of my house that had partially collapsed, installing a partial landscaping ring around a large tree in the front yard as well as installing a new landscaping wall around a flower bed in the back yard. They also removed mulch, stones and the underlying plastic in a couple of my beds and re-installed the border stones. They also buried two of my roof drain pipes.

I left a message for Roger on a weekend. He returned my call that day. He was very polite and eager to help. We arranged to get an estimate on the next Monday. He came out and looked at the property with me and estimated the project on the spot. I signed the agreement, paid 50% as deposit, and the crew showed up on Wednesday. The vast majority of the work was done by the time I got home from work Wednesday. The crew returned to finish up Thursday morning. They did a fantastic job with all repair work and all landscape work. The pavers look practically brand new. I'm not sure how many men worked the job (esp. because I was not around the first day), but they were no bother to me or my household. All debris was tidied up and my yard looks a million times better! I would absolutely use this company again for any upcoming projects. I felt the price was very reasonable - especially given the attentiveness and quick response.
Description of Work: weeded highly-neglected paving brick walkways (2), cleaned brick pavers, fixed cave-ins, shored up pavers leaning off a hill, installed wiring 10-12 inches below ground near pavers to thwart animals tunneling, and swept in the sand between pavers. ALSO, weeded all bedding areas (including two major beds -- also highly-neglected), fixed overgrown edging, edged large bed under trees, and mulched (8 yards).

This project went quite well. Roger and his crew are very professional and have an eye for detail. They cleaned up the work areas at the end of each day. With the exception of a lunch break the crew was constantly working so that the project was done in a short amount of time. The finished project is better than we had expected.
Description of Work: They replaced a slanted concrete sidewalk with brick pavers. The walk is now level. They created a new front step, added pavers along the driveway and created small brick retaining walls around 6 garden areas. They also removed a tree and shrubs that were dying and planted new ones.

Description of Work: Waited two days for Roger to come to my house for an estimate. He arrived on time on the date promised. He gave me verbal quote that was almost 3 times higher than the second quote that I received. He promised to have a written quote emailed to me the next day. It never arrived.

This is one of the most wonderful companies I have ever dealt with. Roger called me back right away after I first contacted him. He came out, measured and gave me a reasonable quote. The landscaping and my back yard needed quite a bit of work. The entire job took 3-1/2 days of very hard work and anywhere from 3 - 6 guys. Roger and his guys were neat, clean, polite and just did a fabulous job. Please see the pictures - they say a thousand words. I plan on having Roger back to install a new brick sidewalk sometime next year.

Excellent. We used Brick Creations for our landscaping needs. Jamie was our sales rep. He was extremely quick to respond and very helpful. He gave excellent suggestions on how to design our paver pathway and some landscaping. He is punctual and was able to show us samples of various items within a couple of hours. The best way to reach him is through our cell phone (630)276-8424. All of the employess were polite and punctual. We are frequently getting complements on our new landscaping. We will definately use Brick Creations again.

Roger gave a professional estimate and found problems with the pavers I was unaware of. He asked me to call JULIE. His crew arrived on time and when expected. Their work was professional and well done. After the work commenced, Roger found more problems and added the repair to the original estimate. The crew forgot to remove the lighting inside the stoop and the plastic lenses. I let Roger know, and he said he would take care of it, but it never got done. On the day the patio was sealed, they sealed over dirt that could have been easily swept up. I would have swept it up myself if I knew the patio was being sealed that morning. Roger said he would fix that, too, but the dirt is still glued in place one year later. The crew inadvertently pierced the sprinkler system pipe, causing leakage under the newly paved sidewalk. I called Roger about that, got the repair done for $124, and Roger told me he would reimburse me for that. I followed up on that on the phone and in writing, and each time Roger told me he was "mailing the check today." A year later, and I have not been reimbursed for the repair of the sprinkler system pipe.

It went great. We were on a somewhat shor time frame and Roger committed to getting us in within a week. He did just that despite the large amount of rain we had we were only put off one day. Once they arrived we walked the property and Roger explained exactly what they would do and even pointed out additional items they would do to make it look perfect. The entire crew was extremely nice and very professional. They worked right up until it down poured and lightening - a bit longer than I felt comfortable. They completed and exceeded my expectations! I will definitely call them back next year for more work!!

I found Roger to be very professional and honest. The workmanship is excellent, and the completed project exceeded my expectations. There was a lot of attention to detail, and I did not have to ask for any changes or improvements. They got it right on the first try. They finished off the yard around the patio with sod and took care of some tree branches without me asking them to do either. I could have had a patio party the day they finished without having to clean up a thing. I would highly recommend Brick Creations for this type of project. While it was not inexpensive, I got my money's worth and a 2-year guarantee.
Description of Work: Brick Creations removed an existing large concrete patio and replaced it with pavers. It took Roger and I a while to connect because I called in early February, and he had not started paver projects yet. That would be my only crticism. Otherwise, he came to do the job when he said he would and finished within the time he estimated.
