Great team of guys who do quality work. They arrived in a timely matter everyday and left things as neat as possible at the end of each day. Ricardo the forman was great. Abel the owner was very responsive when I had questions. They basically turned my whole backyard (townhouse) into a paved yard from house almost to fence line. They left about 5 feet of grass close to fence line at my request.

The job went well, took a little longer then estimated due to weather. Finished job after 3 months you can not tell any digging had occurred. Also after a week of 10 inches of almost constant rain the drain system worked as planned. The shed stayed dry. Abel was very knowledgeable and his crew did a very good job.
Description of Work: Drain system installed in back yard due to water problem. Drain channel boxes, 2 drain boxes and 4 inch pipes installed in ground to channel water to front ditch at roadway. Two downspout drains extended 50 ft away from building with pop up drains at the end of pipe. Cement walk with curb installed in front of shed doors.

Contacted Best Landscaping and construction for an estimate and received immediate response. Abel came out within 2 days to measure and provide estimate. He was so professional. I really liked the fact that he was able to see my vision and took the time to show me various layouts to make sure I would be happy. His crew came out on time, worked hard and kept me informed of each step. They answered all my questions and made sure I was satisfied with the work. I would definitely hire again and have already recommended them to a friend who had work done.
Description of Work: I had a 15 x 20 patio constructed, as well as a 15 x 18 concrete slab and small retaining wall.

All work was done to our complete satisfaction. The work was done quickly and at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: We had Abel Rivas' company do three jobs on our townhouse. First, after the earthquake in 2011, they rebuilt our chimney from the roofline up. It was badly cracked and they had to remove all the bricks, clean them, and rebuild the chimney using the same bricks. Second, they built a retaining wall in front of the townhouse. Third, they repointed a brick wall that had been damaged by water.

Able was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He completed the job on time. He also corrected the small problems that occurred. I would definitely use his company again in the future.
Description of Work: Able and his team built an 1100 sqft patio for us with a seating wall and steps. He took an initial design from a website and customized it for my house. He personalized the design to match our tastes which included adding wiring for lights and rails for the steps. He also installed 4x4s for a pergola and underground drainage for the downspouts that came in contact with the pavers.

They did an excellent job. Very happy. They were reasonable. They did charge more than the $699 agreed upon with Angie’s List, because we had them do more work so we paid for that. I had to contact them several times. I got rained out and then so I just had to keep calling them back. They didn’t call me back to rescheduled. That would be the only thing I would say. But otherwise I was very happy with their work.

There were a couple snafus at the beginning but only because of equipment failure. Once that was fixed they were off and running. The work was completed within a timely manner just as Abel promised. He kept me aware of any issues they came across while I was at work. Sending me photos of a wire I had no idea was present and also old pipes. The guys came in a worked hard in extreme heat to complete the job on time. Everything turned out perfect and I can't thank him enough. It's nice to step out onto a beautiful patio and walk easily to my garage now instead of skipping stone paver to paver like frogger on an uneven surface. Fantastic work Abel! Thank you!
Description of Work: Needed a patio that I could easily integrate with a future pool and stone deck. Also, needed to replace a old concrete sidewalk that had multiple cracks. I wanted the front sidewalk and the new one to match. Abel was quick to respond and came up with a plan and quote within minutes. There was also an old oak tree stump that I had previously ground down but the roots needed extracted in order to get the patio in nice and level.

Abel Rivas, the owner, was very responsive, worked out an estimate within a day and started when he said he would. The work took two weeks, which is what he had estimated. His workers were very methodical and precise, cleaned up after themselves every evening before leaving and did an excellent job overall. We are extremely satisfied with the work and would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: We had a patio with very uneven flagstones that needed to be re-set, and we had a sitting wall and steps from the patio into the garden built.

Initial contacts were all timely and professional but I had to contact owner a couple of times to actually schedule the work. On the day that was scheduled the crew was late and when I contacted owner he apologized but stated that he hadn't called me to say that crew was unable to show up that day. I was unhappy to say the least but had also taken Day off from work. He was very apologetic and agreed to a discount. The crew came 4 days later. There were some initial communication problems about the extent of the work to be provided which we worked out over the phone with the owner. The end result was fantastic repair job, thorough clean up. And I got a discount. But I would be anxious about hiring them again due to all the difficulties described above

It went really well and was all completed in two days. We are absolutely delighted with our new garden and walkway.
Description of Work: Tripling the size of our garden by removing grass, preparing soil, and mulching two areas, each about 40' x 17', and planting perennials I purchased. Constructing 80' stepping stone walkway from driveway around the side of the house to a small porch half way along the back of house. Bordering one of the garden areas by digging shallow trench and placing large cobble stones we provided. Clearing undergrowth and weeds from 60' x 6' area next to our driveway.

Everything went very well. They started when they said they would and finished within the time frame I needed. The my were very thorough and I can tell their work is high quality. The end result was a beautiful brick walkway connecting to a patio in the back. It all looks wonderful and looking forward to being able to use our yard now.
Description of Work: Abel and his crew designed and constructed a brick walkway though my side yard and patio in the back. They also repaired and painted some concrete steps and did some landscaping with a garden bed to make the whole area look beautiful.

Excellent. Best Landscape and it's owner, Abel are outstanding. Abel designed and constructed an outstanding patio and garden for my wife. They were very professional, efficient and courteous, even when we asked for a grading modification. The price was very reasonable and competitive with other quotes we received. We are very pleased with the outcome. Thank you so much Abel.

Abel Rivas came out and measured the job. He explained process, materials and cost. The work was done efficiently and well. The crew cleaned up and left virtually no trace. They even came back to reseed a strip of lawn that had been torn by the construction!

Wonderfully. Mr. Rivas was professional from start to finish and his work crews worked quickly and efficiently. The work was done professionally and I get many compliments from my friends and neighbors on how nice my property now looks. I couldn't ask for a better experience with a contractor. Would highly recommend Mr. Rivas and Best Landscape and Construction.
