Constraction reviews in Berkeley, California

My Smartscaping (Johnny Da Silva) completed ground paver areas, garden walls and landscaping with irrigation for both my front and back yard. Both projects were had several bids. My Smartscaping provided a low cost and well done projects. When some smalllland movement occurred in my backyard wall they came back and rebuilt that small section. They provide very expert construction work, good workmanship and take pride in their construction work. Highly recommended for this type of construction.

I recently hired Smartscaping to tear out an old deck and rebuild a new one. The work was done as promised with no surprises. Johnny, the owner, is personable and professional. My deck was done super quickly and it looks beautiful. Johnny was also helpful above and beyond: he has since done some other work for me and everything has been as promised and without any problems. I highly recommend Smartscaping as a company to do business with. You won't be sorry.

We had a great experience with Smartscaping. We have a 400-square-foot area in our back yard that was transformed from a mud pit into a beautiful patio space using the Catalina 3-piece pavers. Johnny first came over to consult, sent us a quote with a few different paver options--all which were reasonably priced--and then his team started the work a week later. It took the crew just 2.5 days to dig down 7", pour rock and sand, compact everything, angle the landscape for drainage, lay pipe for the drainage, and then they carefully placed the pavers. Our yard has several curves to account for garden beds, and the team did an amazing job cutting the pavers to form graceful arcs around the yard. I am still giddy about how good it looks. Go for Smartscaping--they nailed it!

Had a fantastic experience with Smartscaping. Obtained a couple of quotes, Johnny spent time discussing options and providing multiple solutions. We trusted them with the job and they delivered professionally and with a friendly team.

These folks were responsive and fast. They did a job for me in just a little more than a day that someone else said would take six days. The folks that work there are really kind. They helped me with my design and handled everything. I highly recommend this company.

Johnny did an excellent job with the landscaping of my backyard, he was very considerate and would enquire from me at every stage of the project if I had any changes to make before they proceed. He is about customer satisfaction and I can't be more grateful that I went with him. If you are considering him, you can't go wrong using him and his team for your landscaping needs.

We are happy we went with Smartscaping after doing some research into who to go with for our backyard project. Very hard working and honest people. We are very happy with their work and recommend them for any projects you have.

I've called few contractors and found out that my job was not big enough for them. When I called Smartscaping I quickly realized that size does not matter. Johny with his Brazilian charm, was true to his promises. The price was reasonable, the work was done fast, the place was left clean just ready to step on. If I had another driveway I would do it again with Smartscaping. Enclosed are pictures of before, during and after.

My wife and I are very happy with the pavers, fire pit, and lighting that Smartscaping installed. It's amazing work. We both find ourselves going out into the yard more often because the space is now so much nicer than before. Johnny listened carefully to our plans and then provided feedback, with the end product being exactly what we wanted. In addition to his craftsmanship, Johnny is very professional and timely. His price was also honest and the best--by far--among the 3 estimates we received. Having had a great experience working with Johnny and his crew, all I can say is Smartscaping is awesome!

We had an excellent experience with Smartscaping and are thrilled with the results. Johnny is personable, approachable, and made the entire process seamless. He listened to our ideas, answered our questions, and ensured we felt comfortable with the process.

His crew was professional, skilled, and detail-oriented. They worked efficiently, kept the job site clean, and left everything tidy at the end of each day. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the finished project is not only beautifully executed but has also drawn compliments from our neighbors and friends.

We’re so happy with the outcome that we’ll definitely work with Smartscaping again for future projects. They took our ideas and turned them into reality. We highly recommend Johnny and his team to anyone looking for high-quality work.

Johnny and his team were amazing! We shopped around for hardscaping and he was the most affordable choice for placing pavers in our yard. His work went WAY beyond this though. Johnny was a fantastic consultant, helping us make decisions as we designed our backyard and helped us add touches like posts for lights and set us up for our irrigation system. We cannot recommend Smartscaping enough!
Here are some before and after photos.

We are so happy to have found Johnny and his crew! He turned our tiny old dirty backyard into something beautiful! He worked closely with all of our design ideas every step of the way. Pivots we’re needed like with any project but Johnny was really easy to communicate with to make those changes and adjustments. Thanks for helping create our dream backyard!

This is a solid small company that does very high quality work. Showed up on time and got a large paver job done- front and back yards in less than 7 days. Johnny is busy but he takes his work Seriously. Would def use him again. The high ratings are really deserved. Pricing is good.

Smartscaping exceed my expectations for sure!! They were able to make a seamless transition from my previous concrete install. Jonny was creative and able to work through my grading issue without adding steps everywhere which the other companies were suggesting. His crew was quick and left everything very clean. I am very pleased and will use Smartcaping again for my front yard!!

Johnny and his team completed our landscaping project on time, on budget, and without any drama. The project was to install drainage and pavers around the structure, a courtyard, and a pathway to the sidewalk. It also included installing new irrigation and planting several plants, and pathway lights. As you can imagine, aside from what was known about the project, there were unexpected situations too. Johnny and his team calmly and competently managed them all. My neighbors told me how considerate the crew was and they thanked me!

Smartscaping led by Johnny de Silva did a gorgeous job for our natural stone backyard patio! We are so impressed with Johnny and his crew and their attention to detail. The cuts and curves of our project are beyond compare and we witnessed the artistry and craftsmanship of the crew as they together selected the perfect stone in color and shape for each spot.

We are truly WOWED!! And all at a reasonable price! Thank you Johnny!

Had a great experience with Smartscaping for a backyard patio project. The price was reasonable, and they did the entire job very quickly (2 days from start to finish) and with a short timeline (just about a week). Johnny is a great communicator and the project was a great success overall. We are delighted with the work. Before and after photos appended.

Johnny and his crew installed corten steel edging around our sidewalk garden. It looks really good, was reasonably price, and they were responsive to feedback during the installation. It came out exactly as I envisioned it. I'd definitely recommend for your landscaping needs.

We just finished our kitchen remodel with Impact Pro Construction and had a really great experience. The whole process felt organized and smooth from start to finish. Ariel, the project manager, was super communicative, on top of every detail, and made sure everything stayed on schedule. The quality of work came out exactly how we wanted clean, modern, and well done. Would definitely recommend them if you’re thinking about remodeling your kitchen!

Ariel and his team at Impact Pro Construction handled our kitchen remodel and did a great job. He was easy to communicate with, stayed on top of the project, and made sure everything moved smoothly. The work came out clean and modern. Overall, a very good experience.

Lior worked with us on building our new deck and the process was straightforward from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, showed up when he said he would, and made sure the work was done right. The deck feels strong and looks great. Really easy to work with.
