I was pleased with every step of the process from the first contact with prompt email response time followed quickly by plans being drawn up and contracts being signed. Once construction began I was delighted to have a team of hardworking, polite, punctual guys show up at my house every day! Throughout the process there was consistent communication with both Robert (designer) and Zack (contractor). My backyard has been wonderful for these past two years and upon recent inspection of a structure that seemed like it needed some TLC... I was AGAIN so impressed with the professionalism KC Construction showed. After I contacted them, the team (some of the same guys) came out and fixed the problem within a couple of weeks of me contacting them and charged me nothing! THIS is how business should be done. Well done, guys! Can you start remodeling interior kitchens yet!?! Ha ha ha. **★★★★★ — Carey Pastor, Sept. 2015** > KC Construction turned our dreams into reality. > We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our back yard! > From our initial design consultation with Robert to the final day on the job, KC Construction delivered every step of the way. Zak, Robert and their crew became our extended family during their time on job and we will miss having them around! We interviewed several contractors and as soon as we met with Robert and Zak, we knew we'd found our guys! We now spend all our time outdoors enjoying our new living space! Simply put, KC Construction did an amazing job and come highly recommended! > Thanks for everything! > -The Pastors **★★★★★ — chad\_nelson10, Aug. 2015** > KC Construction was a pleasure to work with. Everything my family and I wanted with our backyard remodel came out better then we could every expected. They were on time each morning, when they said there were going to do something, they did it and the most important thing for me was there wasn't any surprises when the job was complete (i.e, Additional Expenses). > > My family and I could not be more happy with how the project turned out. Zak and Robert gave us options within our price range, and honest feedback. In the end there experience and passion led us to a backyard that we now use everyday. > > I couldn't recommend a better TEAM to work with then KC Construction!!!!! **★★★★★ — zgliniec, June 2015** > Zak and his crew surpassed our expectations as well as our desires. The care that they sdhowed to our home, meticulous attention to the finest of details, and exceptional craftsmanship truly made the experience enjoyable! > > Several neighbors have commented on the design (Robert), and expressed JEALOUSY with the look! > > Thanks, Zak and Team! **★★★★★ — jodi10, June 2015** > Zak and Robert, what a team! We met with 3 contractors to get bids for our outdoor living project. From the very start, KC Construction stood out from the others with their quick follow up, professionalism, quality of work and 3D computer renderings. Robert quickly understood my vision and what we had hoped to achieve. The end result turned out better than we imagined! I would hire KC Construction again with full confidence. **★★★★★ — toddthrew, July 2014** > We truly loved working with the KC Construction team. From the initial meeting with Robert to go over the project and our desires, to ironing out the design and through the entire construction phase they were always responsive and professional. They completely demo'd our front yard and walk way replacing it with a new paver walkway, patio, drip system, plant area and artificial turf. We have a front yard that is beautiful and constantly have people stop while going by to admire and comment on it. We have also had people stop and ask for KC's contact info for projects at their own home. We highly recommend this staff of professionals. **★★★★★ — kiwidawn, June 2014** > We hired KC Construction to completely re-landscape our backyard, including patio areas, an a-frame covered seating area extending from our house, a barbecue with concrete counter top, and new lawn. > We interviewed several contractors. Robert, the design guy, really got what we were looking for. Within a week of our first meeting, he returned with a 3D computer design, we all agreed on some minor changes, and met up with Zak a few days later who provided us with a fully itemized price. > As we had no personal recommendations, (we contacted them based solely on the pictures from this website) we asked for referrals and asked to see some of their most recent work, which they were happy to provide. > With that complete, we were given a start date, and from then on, we can echo all of their other previous reviews. Everybody showed up on time, every day Mon-Fri until the job was completed. All were extremely courteous and took pride in their work. Zak or Robert were here most days, and if not were always easily contactable if questions came up. Some changes needed to be made during the project, and both worked hard to accommodate them. The price we agreed on was what we paid! > We love our new backyard, enjoyed working with them all and if the need arises would definitely hire them again. **★★★★★ — Annette Querques, June 2014** > Zak and his crew completed a large backyard project for us this year (four months). It included an outdoor kitchen, bocce court, rose garden, play yard, and extensive landscaping, If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Zak was very professional in his interactions with every aspect of the job. He checked the activities on a daily basis and his communications were second to none. He listened and gave us an opportunity to make choices and to check on decisions as the project progressed. Zak is a perfectionist and insists all work is done to the highest standards. He will, without a request from us, correct something he feels is not up to his high standards. > > Robert's design was outstanding and he too possessed excellent communication skills. The crew was very hardworking and needed little supervision to maintain their quality work standards. > > When I was looking for a contractor, I visited some of KC's previous clients. They highly recommended Zak and Robert and stated that they felt like "family". Initially I thought that was going a little too far, but after my interactions with these gentlemen, I too feel like they are part of our family. > > I highly recommend KC Construction. **★★★★★ — ericaengell, Sept. 2013** > We highly recommend Zak and his stellar team! The design guru, Robert, was able to create a design that captured all of our needs and it definitely surpassed our expectations. The KC team was so professional, on-time and friendly that we were honestly sad to see them go. Zak was honest, trustworthy and managed the project with perfection. We have passed along referrals for KC to many friends who have been equally elated with the job that they did. **★★★★★ — tedscott3, June 2013** > My wife and I decided we wanted a new front yard and we had 4 landscape contractors bid the job. KC Construction's bid was the lowest of all 4 companies, but that is not the reason we decided to hire them. Zak and Robert had the best presentation and ideas that worked perfect with what we wanted for our yard. Their presentation and demeanor was so refreshing that we would have gone with them even if their bid was higher than the other contractors. Zak and his crew put us on the schedule, got started early and finished 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Zak's crew arrived early every day and you could tell they really pride in their work. Zak and Robert were on site everyday to update me on what was going on and see what I thought of the work. They really took time to see what I wanted for the yard and to try to steer me in the best way to get it done. As the work was going on, we decided to make a few changes and it was not a problem at all. The work is now complete and my wife and I could not be happier with the final outcome, it is better than we could have hoped for. KC Construction was the best contraction company I have ever hired, and everyone on the staff was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. **★★★★★ — catherinejb, June 2013** > KC did a fantastic job on our landscape project! I described to the designer a very general concept of what we were looking for and he designed the perfect project for us and kept within our budget! The crew worked consistantly until the project was completed. We would highly recommend this company! **★★★★★ — bearclan123, May 2013** > We are thrilled with the large project that KC construction completed on our new home which included an outdoor living room underneath a custom A-frame, fireplace, built-in BBQ, sportcourt, lighting and softscape. From our first meeting in December to the final day of completion (which was right on schedule) Zak, Robert and their crew displayed nothing but professionalism. This was a large project that required the collaboration with a pool contractor, which also went seamlessly. They continually looked for opportunities to go above and beyond our expectations, adding small touches we hadn’t ever thought about. Not only is the work of amazing quality, but we found it to be an extremely pleasurable experience. What impressed us the most throughout the process was Zak’s honesty and integrity which is hard to find with a contractor. We give KC Construction our highest recommendation and would encourage anyone with any size project to give them a call. You won’t be disappointed! ## Selected projects - [Dove Hollow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dove-hollow-pj-vj~5837971) - Location: Encinitas, California - Photos: 8 - [Twin Oaks - Victoria Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-oaks-victoria-ranch-pj-vj~1119301) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Encinitas - 2014](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/encinitas-2014-pj-vj~1009525) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [San Elijo Hills - Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-elijo-hills-contemporary-pj-vj~362074) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [La Costa Oaks - Project 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-costa-oaks-project-1-pj-vj~362028) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [La Costa Oaks - Project 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-costa-oaks-project-2-pj-vj~362052) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Escondido - The Good Life Outdoor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/escondido-the-good-life-outdoor-pj-vj~134490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [San Elijo Hills - Italian Style with a Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-elijo-hills-italian-style-with-a-twist-pj-vj~134941) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Carlsbad - Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-contemporary-pj-vj~134923) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Hidden Hill Vineyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hidden-hill-vineyard-pj-vj~134593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [General Landscape Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/general-landscape-projects-pj-vj~134252) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/kc-construction-pfvwus-pf~1291905717) ## Ideabooks - [Hotsenpillar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130216548/list/hotsenpillar) — 21 ideas - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126046351/list/modern-farmhouse) — 5 ideas - [Gallegos](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125839970/list/gallegos) — 6 ideas - [Cape cod](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125801755/list/cape-cod) — 6 ideas - [House Colors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115129333/list/house-colors) — 26 ideas - [Pool Concepts](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84729033/list/pool-concepts) — 18 ideas - [Entry Gates](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114646934/list/entry-gates) — 1 idea - [Outdoor Construction](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84729218/list/outdoor-construction) — 20 ideas [See all 8 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/kcconstruct) ## Community Q&A **Q: stones in grass** *(in Photo Questions)* Are the stones in the grass Orco pavers, cement, or real stone? A: It's a natural stone called Cameron. **Q: Stone** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you pls. Tell me the name of stone and manufacturer. Thanks. A: This is East West Autumn Rose Natural. **Q: Beautiful iron scroll detail on pergola** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I purchase this? A: Unfortunately, those brackets are not something we purchased ready to go. We do most of our wrought iron fabrication custom. Sorry I couldn't have a better answer for you!! Best of luck! **Q: I love this patio! Which Orco paver is this? What is the color? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This paver is Orco Antique Cobble Tuscany installed in a random "I" pattern. We used polymeric sand to keep future maintenance to a minimum. **Q: Love this roofed structure! Can you tell me the cost?** *(in Photo Questions)* I like the idea of wood paneling used for the bbq area. I'm assuming this is a cost saving idea as well? Thank you. A: The wood paneling would cost more than a stucco finish or a smooth finish with acid wash, but it does save some money vs a stone veneer ledger. It's 1X cedar, which is a great product, but it is a bit on the pricey side for just wood. **Q: I'm building a new patio and really like the color of the concrete** *(in Photo Questions)* What color is concrete patio.? Please email me at shah@bocatavern.com Thank you A: This color is Solomon Sierra. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-07.*
