Best Hardscaping & Patios in Palo Alto, California

“We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our front and back yards! Omar was thorough, responsive, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. He took the time to plan the project carefully with us, offering valuable suggestions and addressing our unique concerns. He kept us updated daily, and he answered our questions almost immediately. The work crew was exceptionally professional, completing the project quickly and leaving no mess behind. Our project included building a large trellis, paver and stone work, fence repair, deck refinishing, lighting design, and, of course, planting and landscaping. They truly can do it all! We highly recommend Green Bay Landscaping.”

“David and his team were wonderful! They did the landscaping of our front yard and the hardscaping of our new stone staircase. They did such a beautiful job! David is one of the most communicative contractors that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. He always follows up and makes sure he delivers on time and within budget. We couldn't be happier with him and his fabulous team. We hope to work with them again in the future. Ideal gets our highest recommendation!”

“Our first phase project is done! Woohoo!🥳 And we absolutely love it! Our dog does too! 😃 totally deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! System Pavers Octavio and his team did an absolutely awesome job from beginning to end, so overall, it was a fantastic experience! The project management was spot-on, and the final paving and turf work were just beautiful. They even went that extra mile with some little extras for us. We couldn't ask for more! The design phase was really smooth by Cecilia, they made sure we got the quality material we wanted that was within our budget. Now time to enjoy and looking forward to the next phase of our project! Thank you all so much!”

“We had an outstanding experience working with Nick Miller the project manager/designer from Black Diamond Paver Stones and Landscape. From the very first meeting, he listened carefully to our ideas and offered creative solutions that completely transformed our outdoor space. His attention to detail, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The crew was equally impressive, punctual, hardworking, and respectful of our property. They worked efficiently, kept the job site clean, and brought the design vision to life with precision and care. The finished project exceeded our expectations, and we’ve received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for a landscape team that combines creativity, skill, and reliability, I highly recommend Nick and Black Diamond Paver Stones and Landscape. We couldn’t be happier with the results!”

“These landscaping guys did my neighbors front yard near Standford and I was very skeptical when I saw the work starting. They worked fairly quickly and respectful to not bother me with loud noises so I really appreciate their workmanship and work ethic. I vontractec them to finish my landscaping stones and pavers. I was surprised at how fair their prices were compared to my past contractors. I appreciate the quality as well. Can't go wrong with this contractor.”

“We worked with Steve and the Black Diamond team this past October to put in french drains around our house and a patio in our backyard, and we were so pleased with both the partnership they provided and their quality of work. Steve was extremely helpful and informative throughout each discussion we had with him, and he was happy to share his architectural knowledge with us. He genuinely had our best interests in mind for this project and never had an issue with our many questions and different scenarios we talked through. The team Steve brought in (led by Filberto) also did excellent work. They worked efficiently and clearly hold a very high bar themselves and the end result they provide. We're so pleased with our entire project and would absolutely work with Black Diamond again in the future.”

“RB Landscape did an amazing job redoing the front yard and backyard of our house. We definitely recommend them for your landscaping or pavers projects if you want great professional service at a reasonable price! Communication was easily a 10/10 as Nate was extremely responsive to our questions and any concerns that we had. He was very informative, prompt, and fair. Their quality and speed of work was great. Everything was done according to plan or better. If there were any hiccups, they were addressed directly and we were provided solutions for the problem. The project finished quickly without compromising quality. Pricing was very competitive and transparent. You knew exactly what you were getting for what you were paying. Thanks RB Landscaping!”

“We hired D&I Landscape for a complete backyard remodel, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. David and Irvin bring an impressive level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to their work. They were consistently on time, courteous, and organized, and they kept the entire project moving smoothly without any delays. Communication was one of the biggest highlights—every question we had was answered promptly, and they were always proactive in keeping us informed. They even met us at the nursery to help select the right plants for our space, which made the process so much easier and more enjoyable. The project was completed exactly on schedule, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Our backyard looks incredible. I would highly recommend D&I Landscape to anyone looking for a dependable, high-quality landscape team.”

“We had a great experience with Primavera construction. Tony and team helped us with our project to install pavers in both our front yard and backyard. Not only is the team extremely professional, they have a great eye for design and aesthetics as well. Our back yard is looking gorgeous. The project was done on time and within budget. We strongly recommend their service.”

“Freddie and crew did a great landscaping job which included driveway replacement, new fencing with red stain, gates, backyard pavers, underground drainage and lawn/shrub planting with mulch. All the work was done well by friendly crew who kept the area very clean. Highly recommend!”

“We recently hired Brian for our large-scale, full backyard renovation, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We truly could not be happier with the entire experience and the final product. From the very beginning, Brian demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. The scope of our project included hardscaping, planting, irrigation, lighting, decking, and a new patio area. Our project was completed exactly on time, and it was kept perfectly within the agreed-upon budget. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent and the finished yard looks incredible and completely transforms our outdoor living space. Our backyard is now our favorite part of our home. We can't recommend Brian enough and will definitely use him again for any projects in the future.”

“Opulands Landscape Design and Construction did an amazing job on our front yard landscaping. The crew was professional, reliable and always on time. Their communication was clear from the first estimate to the final walk‑through, and the workmanship is top notch. We love how the design turned out and appreciate the attention to detail. Excited to return here again for my next project.”

“We had a great experience working with Will and his team at Sequoia Outdoor. From design to demo to installation, every step was well communicated, coordinated, and executed. Our backyard has been transformed into a much more usable and beautiful space through Sequoia’s guidance on landscaping, pavers, and lighting.”

“I met with several companies before selecting Modern Paving. They were, by far, the best choice. Kim gave me an estimate and was fantastic. She made some suggestions and helped me select the right pavers, color, and several additional design elements. David was my project manager and he was the best. I was out of town the first few days of work, so he kept me updated every day. They were so professional, left the yard immaculate, and did a PERFECT job on the back patio. I'm so happy with the job that they did. It looks beautiful and I'll definitely use them again. I highly recommend them!”

“Michael Gurtler (Senior Project Designer) - Must use for all Landscape / Paving Needs Responsive, honest, professional, adaptable to our wants and needs - could not ask for a better Project Designer from design to execution. Our backyard landscape was hard to access and on a slope, Mike and his team delivered beyond expectations. When extenuating events occurred (e.g., discovering a massive trunk under the dirt, third-party delivery truck stalling in neighborhood street, etc.), Mike immediately took action and addressed the issues to ensure project remained within reasonable timelines and within agreed budget. Furthermore, when we decided to pivot from original project plan, Mike was very receptive and easy to work with. Will definitely use Mike for future landscaping and paving needs! Project Scope included: Demolition / removal of old retaining wall made out of railroad ties Demolition / removal of steps made of made out of railroad ties Installation of new retaining wall (Belgard Belair Wall / French Drain / lighting) Installation of Belgard landing slabs for steps Installation of new retaining wall to prevent hillside from falling into home (Estate Wall /French Drain)”

“Ward and his team completed two different projects for our client, a large Silicon Valley company at their Sunnyvale Campus, which included redesign of the hardscaping in a very large atrium and required white gloving transportation of heavy material through a newly renovated cafeteria with new floors without any harm done in the process all during weekend hours. It was a tricky and delicate operation that they pulled off without having any affect on the company’s operations which was a key requirement of the project. They also redesigned and replanted to make a more elegant and formal statement to the new patio planters at the company’s main entrance that was just freshly planted by the resident landscape maintenance company but was just not to the clients’ liking. They carry out their work with thought, care and precision to get the job done right the first time with the least amount of fuss. We will collaborate with them on all our large scale projects indoors and out knowing they have the qualifications, expertise and experience to pull it off and make everyone involved look good in the process.”

“It was a great experience. They spent a lot of time and effort to attempt to give me the job I requested. The finished product was a great job that received multiple compliments. Thank you.”

“Excellence Landscaping truly lived up to their name. They were fast, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented throughout our backyard project. They provided samples for patio tiles, mulch, and other materials, incorporated our revisions thoughtfully, and executed everything exactly as requested. They installed the patio tiles and steps, cleared and replanted the yard with new plants and trees in fresh mulch beds, and added irrigation and lighting that completely transformed our space into a Japanese, hotel-chic backyard. Excellent craftsmanship, great communication, and a smooth process from start to finish. Highly recommend.”

“I reached out to multiple people for quotes and found Kong Construction. From the first interaction with Marcos, I knew this would be a great fit. Marcos and his team did not disappoint. They were very easy to communicate with and had your best interest in mind. Marcos never tried to upsell or push anything on the project that was unnecessary. His team was definitely a standout and were great. They arrived everyday early and worked hard. They were constantly cleaning up after every day as of it were their own home. They took their time and made sure the project was done properly. After the completion of the project, they took care of clean up and left like they were never there. Again, I could not be happier with the Konig Construction team. Thanks again to Marcos and the Konig Construction team! Pics from ‘23”

“Sam and crew were extremely flexible, responsive and conscientious. We had a custom design retractable pergola which required extra time and work. It has transformed our outdoor space to be able to use it 9 months of the year. We went with white which has been more work to clean every few months versus black, but black wasn’t an option for us. Pricing was in line with others and they were the only ones able to do a fully retractable custom sized pergola. We love it!”
