Landscaping reviews in Irvine, California

We had the pleasure of working with Eric M. as our Project Manager and Designer for our new backyard and can't be happier with the process and the results. Our backyard space is pretty small, however Eric was able to pull a design together that created separate spaces for entertaining and fit well in the area we had to work with. The Black Diamond Team arrived on time as promised, had material suppliers and supporting infrastructure ready, and made very quick work of demo and install. We had a couple minor changes along the way that were easily handled via phone calls or emails to Eric and were executed perfectly. Professional team, clear and transparent communication, and top quality results - can't go wrong with this group.

Met Ron at the home and garden show. Great individuals here at Black Diamond Pavers. Looking forward to combining forces with another great contractor. First impressions are everything and Ron was awesome super informative and knowledgeable!!!

Working in the hardscapes industry can be daunting and I work with hundreds of hardscapes professionals on a daily basis. Ron Geronimo is not only a pleasure to work with but is also very knowledgeable with all hardscapes products and installation methods.

Ron G. contacted us (drain town rooter) for one of his clients. Upon arriving on site Ron already had the crew dig trenches for us to run new gas and water lines in the backyard. We installed hose bibs and a gas riser for his client. Working with Ron at black diamond landscape was was great due to communication and willingness to work as a team on the project. Very professional team to work with, you will be in good hands with Ron and black diamond landscape.

Needed a small area of our front yard taken care of. We wanted to clear the giant birds of paradise palms and get more parking space. Ron did a fantastic job of understanding and not wasting time upselling. ​The work completed was as requested, timely and we could not be happier.

Thanks guys!

Black Diamond did a great job at my house.

Thanks to Ron G. for organizing the project.
My yard looks great !

Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape did an excellent job in installing paver blocks at our backyard. Ron, their Project Manager, is the most responsive project manager we have seen in recent years. Ron engaged with us from the very beginning and went all the way to satisfy our choices of paver at a reasonable price. He coordinated with his operations to deliver the project at a week of our convenience. Once the project started, the team continuously worked at our backyard till they finished it all in 3 days. Black Diamond Paver knows what they are doing. Their delivery of material was timely scheduled. Chape their superintendent is a very smart and polite person. The quality of finish looks great. The 27-year warranty provided is as good as anyone in the industry does. We are glad we worked with Ron and Black Diamond Paver.

The team did a fabulous job on our driveway and walkway. Especially the worker named Jersen is very friendly. He always completed what he was asked to do with a smile and a positive attitude. Ron Geronimo was great. He would accompany us throughout the process to answer questions and accommodate our requests. We love our driveway and our steps now and are considering to facelift our backyard as well

Hugh and Black Diamond are the best. Had many quotes and Hugh with Black Diamond gave me the best quote. Hugh was great at keeping me informed during the whole process. The crews were awesome they did a fabulous job. They were neat and the short amount of time to complete the job was impressive. I was so impressed and pleased with the outcome of the pavers, that I hired Hugh and Black Diamond to do the landscaping as well. Thank you Hugh and Black Diamond.

Ron came out to give us pricing for removing our driveway and installing pavers, and we had such a great experience! He has amazing energy, was extremely patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He was also extremely kind & respectful with my spanish-speaking mom, which meant a lot to us! Highly recommend working with Ron- he’s professional, personable, and truly goes above and beyond!

My wife and I carefully selected Black Diamond Pavers to replace our driveway.
We liked that our sales person was also our project manager, Ron Geronimo.
He was a pleasure to work with on our project.
Ron clearly communicated exactly what to expect from their team and they met and exceeded all expectations. They transformed my driveway in just 1 Day. Ron & Crew arrived early morning to set up and before we knew it they were done. Black Diamond's pricing was very competitive and their 27 year warranty and craftsmanship are excellent.. Having ONE dedicated Project Design Specialist from beginning to end was very nice. I highly recommend Black Diamond. Ron Geronimo went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied!

My recent new paver driveway turned out great. Romero and his team should be complimented for a job well done . The work was completed quickly with minimal disruption. I would strongly recommend Diamond company for Paver installation work.
Thank you
John

Choosing the right company/contractor is never an easy task. We recieved bids from several companies. Some bids were lower in price and some were higher. Ultimately we decided to move forward with Ron G. & company because of his vast knowledge, experience, & professionalism. Ron clearly communicated our options and didn't use high pressure sales tactics to hurry us into signing any contracts. We love our new driveway and can't wait for Phase 2 (Backyard) in January. If you're looking for a "Complimentary White Glove Experience" with ONE point of contact from beginning to end, Ron G. will take good care of you!

After researching and receiving quotes from multiple companies, we chose Black Diamond based on their paver selection, guarantee, and price for demo of our existing patio and installation of the pavers. Jon Barlock helped us through the process and was very responsive from the beginning of quoting to completion of the paver installation. His team was able to demo, install, and clean up in one day! He worked with us while we waited for footings to be installed for a patio cover so they could add pavers around the footings. They also moved our water line outside of the paver area as requested. We couldn't be happier with the service and final product. The pavers are beautiful, and it was an easy process.

I cannot speak too highly of our Black Diamond project manager, Chris Leithem. He listened carefully and respectfully to our concerns and wishes. He was with us all the way, on site every day, checking at every stage that we were happy with how the project vision was unfolding. He built on our initial ideas to provide a detailed design that was better than we could have imagined! It was a true collaboration.

We love the end result and appreciate his creativity and vision. Our front yard, backyard, and driveway have been transformed from broken concrete and a dead lawn to an innovative desert landscape that is a show piece! I am delighted that we are using low-water native plants and that maintenance is almost nil.

There were challenges for sure, from drainage problems, broken concrete from massive tree roots, and edges by the original builder that were not straight, but Chris tackled each one creatively and successfully without any extra cost. His crew were also very hardworking and pleasant to have around.

I can recommend Black Diamond unreservedly and would use them again in the future.

Ron G was great, the project was finished quickly and efficiently with constant communication and updates. Would highly recommend their work to anyone, turned my dirt lot into a lovely front yard!

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Ron G. @ Black Diamond.

They did the pavers and turf and us at BEACHYARD installed a beautiful fence.

Ron is very professional and his 2D/3D renderings are impressive.

You're in great hands with Ron G. At Black Diamond.

Looking forward to collaborating on more projects.

Ron G. from Black Diamond is great to work with. His positive attitude and energy are contagious, and his 2D/3D renderings are awesome. Looking forward to future collaborations!

Ron Geronimo my project manager did an excellent job on demo , and install of turf and planter boxes for my back yard. they turned it into a show piece black diamond was very fair and easy to work with. thanks ron for a job well done !

Ron G. from Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape provided outstanding service 5 stars. He explained every detail on how the work would be done from the start and to the end before signing the contract. Throughout the project, he was present everyday with text images and details on progress. If any questions came along, he asked before proceeding to make sure it is what we wanted. Project completed in less than what was quoted. Excellent work and will definitely use them again. Can't recommend a better high quality and high value experience than going with Black Diamond.

I cannot recommend Black Diamond enough. Eric Magpali met with us for a quote and worked with us for a design. We had received several quotes, and while Black Diamond was not the cheapest, they provided the most comprehensive estimate, and really worked with us on the design. My husband is a creative director, and working with him on design is not an easy thing! But Eric really listened to us and to what we wanted to achieve. The transformation was incredible and Eric was with us every step of the way, making sure the job was done right. They finished ahead of schedule, which is unheard of in construction. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend!
