Pergola Construction Companies in Brentwood

“Another very happy customer of South Bay Design and Landscaping. We had South Bay out to do a full demolition of the existing “landscaping” from when we bought our house and the installation of an entirely new plan from our landscape designer (check out Dawn Engel- she’s great!), which included a patio space, a pergola, driveway extensions, hogwire fence, raised planter beds, and a side gate added to our existing fence. Demolition went insanely quickly, and our property was kept neat and tidy the entire time. We never once saw dirt tracked anywhere by the crew, which we can’t say the same for any of the other contractors we’ve worked with (and we’re actually quite happy with some of them!), and which becomes even more insane to think about when you consider the nature of landscaping work. Installation went as smoothly as South Bay possibly could have made it. Any time we ran into the occasional hiccup, as happens with all nontrivial projects, Matt, Marcus, and Danny offered thoughtful suggestions and made sure to confirm exactly what we wanted before proceeding. (We had either or both of Matt and Danny on-site most days of our project, and interacted with Marcus via email.) We were delayed a smidge by some heavy rain, but the crew worked through all but the worst of it (talking “if you step in that mud, you’re going to lose a boot” type of rain here). Partway through the install, we discovered that the previous landscapers had managed to make the L-shaped pathway leading from our driveway to our front door square with nothing- which wasn’t easily noticed until we had the planter beds in and hogwire fence line chalked out. Matt, Danny, and crew were thankfully able to accommodate our request to fix our pathway up by picking up each segment and pushing the out-of-square part over by 4-6 inches; this added about a week of extra time to our project, mostly due to the fact that not all of the pavers could be reused, and that the pavers had actually been discontinued (!). The guys worked around this by sourcing very similar pavers in a different size, and basically cutting and grinding them to match our existing pavers. Post-install, the only way you’d know there are two different pavers in our pathway is if you’d seen it being taken apart and rebuilt. Plants, irrigation, and lighting all went in straightforwardly after the hardscaping work was finished, and Danny gave us a complete walkthrough of all our new outdoor systems. It’s been about a week since our project was completed; the plants are all thriving, and we’re still ecstatic about our new yards (and so are our neighbors!). In short: we had a fantastic experience working with South Bay for our landscaping project. They take pride in doing a quality job, and it shows in everything from literal demolition to day-to-day jobsite management to the finished project. If you’re looking for landscapers, these are your guys.”

“Westcoast Hardscape did an amazing job on our backyard. They tore down our existing patio overhang and concrete, and built a large new pergola, and also poured new concrete. They installed artificial turf as well. Ground lighting in the turf, and recessed lighting in our pergola ceiling completed the project. They also brainstormed with us on a couple problem areas like poor drainage under a downspout, and moving a water faucet to a better location. I think the thing I appreciated about them the most was the communication from Michael. He let us know when the crew would be out and visited our yard frequently while the job was underway. His quote was accurate, and I was VERY happy not to get change ordered to death. And Cesar - his lead for this project - was BRILLIANT! He seemed to know everything and gave great advice and ideas. No shortcuts were taken, only high quality products were used, and I know it will last decades. Should we have another project, we will definitely use Westcoast Hardscape again.”

“We are so happy and pleased to have worked with Joe and his crew. We now have the most beautiful and easy to maintain yard in our neighborhood. Our yard is much more usable and visually appealing now with water conserving plants, accented lighting, various hardscape and a pergola. Joe worked with us on the design and happily provided revisions based on our suggestions. His crew is highly skilled and professional. They were always on-time, courteous and they always cleaned up the worksite at the end of the day. They also kept us well-informed daily about the progress of the project. Our yard is just stunning thanks to Joe!”
