Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc. - San Mateo, California

David Huynh

We hired Black Diamond earlier this year for
- paving our front and side yards with permeable pavers
- putting in a lawn in our backyard
- designing and planting a "succulent garden" with boulders along our driveway
- planting 2 new trees
- installing a 6-zone irrigation/sprinkler system and controller

Steve T. was the project manager we worked with. He helped us choose the paver design, the succulents, and the choice of grass. He designed the succulent garden. He came out on site many times before and after each stage of the project to make sure the materials were ready and sufficient in quantity and the site was prepared, safe, and ready for work. He was very transparent, responsive, and communicative. It's been a pleasure working with Steve.

Black Diamond's crews were also easy to work with. They did everything my wife and I requested.

We had not done permeable pavers before but the result is great. We are able to extend the parking area of our front yard with permeable pavers, as there's a limit to how much we can cover with concrete. After the latest major rainstorm, the paved front yard and side yard are dry.

The succulent garden is also thriving well. We are seeing new and vibrant colors developing.

We highly recommend Black Diamond and Steve.

I sought bids from many contractors and the bid from BDPS&L was the most thorough and reasonable. My project was to build two retaining walls, a stairway, and a patio. It was especially challenging because I live on the side of a canyon and all the rock and pavers had to be carried down 3 flights of stairways. Rocco, the account manager, was very hands-on and kept me informed of everything that was happening. The crews were terrific - very professional and did excellent work. I highly recommend Black Diamond Paver and I would hire them again for additional projects.

We are extremely happy with how our pool area project turned out. From start to finish, we had consistent communication and were kept in the loop about any changes or issues that came up. Our Project Manager, Rocco, kept everything moving without interruption and provided his expertise on design. Marvin and his team were excellent and took special care around the pool to make sure nothing was damaged during demo and install. Overall, we're beyond satisfied with the job they did and are loving the new pool area!

We initially chose Black Diamond for our backyard project and were so pleased with their work that we decided to hire them again for our front yard. Once again, we were not disappointed. We had the pleasure of working with Rocco, who oversaw our project from start to finish. He was very professional and responsive, answered all our questions, and guided the project to completion despite the challenges that often come with large projects. I highly recommend giving them a shot if you are thinking about a landscaping project.

It was time to get rid of the weeded front yard and old driveway and to update the backyard. Steve T. made a design that we fell in love with. Herringbone pattern on the driveway, A sculpted succulent garden in the front yard, and 3 lighted planters in the backyard. He took care of the permitting with the city and got his team to work. Steve was here every day to take care of any issues that came up and to keep the project moving forward. After the project was done, we found that a couple of the capstones on the back planter were loose (thank you Daly City moisture). Steve had his crew come out and fix them - Great customer service!
We now love our yard, and it puts a smile on my face when I come home.

Rocco, Jose, and the rest of the crew were fantastic beginning to end. Excellent job making recommendations, patiently walking us through the process, and checking in consistently along the way. Rocco was especially responsive, reliable, and addressed every question we had with professionalism. The crew was speedy, did quality work, were friendly, and did a great job cleaning the place up. Couldn’t be happier with how our backyard transformation turned out and I’d 100% do more business with this gang. You won’t be sorry!

Steve Turner at Black Diamond made the most complete proposal for my landscaping project of the 4 companies I contacted. He understood the problems of the site: steep slopes, mostly shade, a lot of deer traffic and a dead irrigation system. He developed a plan that addressed all those issues and had some nice surprises for a competitive price. The Black Diamond crew did a great job of removing the old plants, adding new soil, planting the new plants, installing decorative rocks, and upgrading the irrigation system. Steve visited the site daily to make sure things were going smoothly and to change the design as the work progressed. Very happy with the final result
