We had an excellent experience with Black Diamond and are very happy with our results. We hired them to re-do our long driveway with pavers and add a patio to our front yard. It looks amazing and really elevated our curb appeal. Reasonable and transparent pricing. The team was always professional, friendly, worked quickly, and produced a high quality result. They presented multiple options/solutions for our project. Special shout out to Ron Geronimo and Chepe Gallardo. Don't hesitate to choose Black Diamond for landscaping needs.
I couldn’t be happier with the work Black Diamond Pavers did on my front yard. It looks absolutely gorgeous! From start to finish, they were professional, transparent, and detail-oriented.What really stood out was Ron, the project manager. He wasn’t just managing the project—he was also the designer and estimator, which made a huge difference. The vision we came up with together turned out perfect because there was no miscommunication. Ron kept me updated constantly. If I was home, we’d walk the project together. If I wasn’t available, he’d handle everything on his own and send me detailed updates and photos.The pricing was very transparent, and while I paid a little more than some other quotes, I got so much value in return: better warranties, top-quality pavers, and the most amazing turf. Plus, you’re not just paying for great materials and installation—you’re getting top-tier project management.They finished everything on time, just as they promised, and I’m thrilled with how it all turned out. In fact, we’re so happy that we’ve already hired Ron and his team for our backyard next! If you’re looking for a company that delivers incredible results with zero headaches, I highly recommend Black Diamond Pavers.
Over the past year, my husband and I had been searching for trustworthy professionals to completely transform both our front and back yard. It was a large and daunting project, but Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape turned out to be the perfect choice for the job. From our first meeting with Ron G., we felt confident in their vision and approach. Ron not only helped us bring our ideas to life but guided us through every step of the process until the project was finished. Despite working through the busy holiday season, the team managed to complete the transformation efficiently and on time. Their productivity, attention to detail, and openness to feedback were outstanding.The results exceeded our expectations. Our landscaping was completely revamped with new irrigation, added trees, bushes, and planters, and we also decided to replace our entire driveway with pavers. The quality of their work speaks for itself—this team truly delivers excellence, determination, and speed. Ron G. was especially instrumental in helping us make timely decisions, and any issues that arose were promptly addressed. For example, after the project was complete, we encountered a small issue with the irrigation system, but it was resolved within 24 hours.Our neighbors and family members have been thoroughly impressed by the transformation and have even reached out to Black Diamond for their own projects. We are thrilled with the outcome and will definitely recommend them to others.We cannot thank the Black Diamond team enough—Ron G., Omero, Olben, Ely, and Matthew—for their hard work and dedication. You’ve truly helped make our home a dream come true!
We are very pleased with the job that Black Diamond did with our backyard. We've had other contractors work on our house before, but Black Diamond has been the best. What sets them apart from other contractors is that one person is assigned to the project for the entire duration of the project. Ron G, our project design specialist was great! From the very beginning during the design phase to the very end after completion, Ron made sure the project went smoothly and to our liking. He suggested different design options to stay within our budget. Even after completion, Ron would contact us to see that everything is to our satisfaction. Highly recommended!
We are overall satisfied with the work Black Diamond did on our backyard remodel in June. We had a paver patio and about 500 sqft of sod with benderboard installed. Below are a few points of what went well and what could have been improved:What went well:- Ron G. was very responsive and came on-site multiple times to help us develop a design that looked great and was within budget. He also brought paver samples a few times so we can choose the right colors.- When the work started, it went quick. Took 2.5 days for the team to complete.- They were able to start the work before family visited so we all could enjoy it.- The patio is even and graded nicely. The sod is green and healthy.- Materials were delivered on time.- They went above & beyond fixing a few sprinkler items without making it a whole process (we used our existing system).What could have been improved:- It took some nudging to get on the schedule. After 3 weeks we contacted Ron and he worked hard to pull the team together to get our work started.- The porta-potty wasn't delivered for the crew.- Final clean up of the job site could have been better. Outside of the new paver patio, a layer of hard polysand was everywhere. It didn't look great and took me some time to dig up and clean.- One piece of the benderboard was cut 1-2 inches too short. The crew put a stake in to make it look complete but it's noticeably short.- It took about 4 weeks to have the unused pavers picked up.- A portion of the demo wasn't completed in the back corner. This was part of the conversation since day 1 but was missed; and unfortunately the Ops Manager decided because it wasn't explicit in the contract they wouldn't complete the work.All this feedback was shared with Ron, and he's been gracious to share it with the rest if the team. If the improvement items were there, I'd give them 5-stars.
