Contractor reviews in San Diego, California

We had a very challenging sloped yard that needed to be more usable for our young children. Sean, Stacey and the whole team really delivered. We now have a great usable area and no more dangerous drop offs! No project goes completely smoothly but they were great to work with to resolve the minor bumps in the road. I’d definitely recommend them for a difficult backyard project.

We initially reached out to Designs 4 You looking for design consultation. We had a wood deck and dirt for our backyard and wanted to turn it into a space that we could use regularly.

After the first appointment, we hired them to do a 3D model design. This part was great because we were able to see different design ideas and were able to visualize the ideas we had.

We hired them to install turf and pavers in our backyard and also setup a drain system that extended all the way to the front of our house. Initially we were told it would be a 2-3 week project, which sounded about right to us. But they finished the job in about one week and we were very satisfied with the results.

The project managers were very easy to reach and were in constant communication with us throughout the project and were giving us updates on what they have done so far and what the plan was for the upcoming day. If I had any questions or concerns that I wanted them to address, they let the crew know and they would fix it right away.

They even did extra work that we didn't even ask for, which was much appreciated. For example, we had existing gutters and they connected it to the drain system that they were setting up.

Overall the experience was great and we are very happy with the results. One thing to keep in mind is they were not the cheapest, but the service that they give and the quality of the work was very high. We will keep them in consideration for any future jobs.

I would strongly recommend Designs 4 You due to their great service and quality successfully delivered within time and budget

I moved into a new house with no landscaping on the back and sides of the house and minimal on the front. Omer was patient and walked me through my options. Designs 4 You transformed the outside of my front and back yard and it looks great! Osiris and Junior were overseeing the construction and they answered all my detailed questions and were kind and respectful to the neighbors and the community.

Also the project came within budget was finished ahead of schedule. I was surprised given what I heard about other landscapers commonly going over budget and time. Designs 4 You does a great job and delivers on time and within budget

We hired Designs 4 You for a tub replacement, tub surround, and floor tile installation for one of our bathrooms. Our initial consultation with Project Manager Adaya was informative and personable. She provided an overview of the company's background, licensing, and general process. While the price was on the higher side, it was still competitive compared to other quotes we received. We felt confident moving forward knowing a dedicated project manager would oversee the work and ensure a service-oriented approach.

The crew took care to protect the floors and workspace, and Adaya made sure the work area was sealed more thoroughly when she saw it could be improved. The foreman, Asaf, was attentive and checked in personally during the project. After installation, we discussed the tile manufacturer's recommendation for silicone sealing between each panel. The team explained their approach, addressed our questions, and reassured us the work would be fully covered under their warranty, with future moisture checks available if ever needed.

The project ended up taking a bit longer than expected due to additional trim needing to be ordered. While this created an additional delay, the team kept the work moving forward and made sure the final results met our expectations. The owner, Omer, personally came for the final walkthrough and committed to a 15-year warranty along with a willingness to resolve any future concerns which gave us more confidence in their work.

Overall, we're very pleased with the finished results and appreciate the effort and willingness of the Designs 4 You team to stand by their work.

My wife and I had reached out to several different companies for quotes to redo our absolute mess of a front yard. After talking with several and receiving a number of quotes, we decided to go with Designs4You, and couldn't be happier with our decision.

Our Project Manager, Sharon, took all of our ideas into consideration and delivered something beyond even what my wife and I could have imagined. The attention to detail, the speed with which they worked, and the suggestions that they offered to bring our yard to life was incredible. We don't have much of a backyard due to space, and we wanted a space in our front yard for our son to play. We got flawless concrete and turf work, in addition to beautiful walls, a fence, and a gorgeous Santa Barbara style planter.

There were a few hiccups along the way, which is expected for a project of such scale, but Sharon went out of his way to make sure that all issues were rectified with speed and with 100% satisfaction from us.

We can't wait to paint the house, and make it match the wonderful yard!

I would absolutely recommend Designs4You for your next project. And if Sharon is available to be your PM, you'll be in excellent hands. Thanks again for the incredible work!

My wife and I recently wanted to redo our backyard patio and after doing extensive research with some contractors in the area, we decided to go with Designs 4 You and we are so happy that we did!

Morgan - our project manager - is extremely friendly and very easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted and also provided her own input and recommendations based on what she thought would look good as well based on her expertise and experience (this included a 2 foot river rock accent near the back fence and low voltage lighting along the border of the patio). She was in frequent contact and helped us every step of the way.

The foreman - Santiago - and all of the workers that did the install were all kind, respectful, and hardworking.

The project finished ahead of schedule and we are extremely pleased with the result! We would recommend Designs 4 You to anyone looking to improve their backyard and we definitely want to work with Morgan again if we decide to do another home project.

Its been a few days now , the dust has settled , the chaos of construction has ended . And all that is left is to enjoying the backyard.

The Design for You experience, from my first call to the office to the design consultation and throught the project was a happy one. Lines of communication were open all the way through , project was timely and well done. Even when there was a slight hiccup in the project the team jumped in quickly to remedy the situation.

10/10 would recommend , ask for Adaya she was fun and always positive with new ideas and new perspective. Carlos the foreman on the project , was open to hear my question and also provide ideas. I also have to give a shout out to Usher as well ,while I did not get to work with him, his inital presentation and professionalism was what sold me on the company.

So to the Design for You team , I say thank you . Everything turned out AMAZING.

Patricio and his team transformed our house to a HOME that we want to be in. His minimalistic style is well spaced and makes the most of earth toned colors, greens and a pop of color where needed. Simple yet sophisticated designs. He was friendly and easy to talk to, responsive to texts. Patricio really listened to find the client's voice. This company is reliable and does solid work.

Patricio and his team were wonderful to work with on our backyard remodel. From the start, he presented a beautiful and thoughtful design that really captured what we wanted. Throughout the project, his communication was excellent, and any changes or adjustments we requested were handled with care and professionalism. We had a deadline to meet, and thanks to his organized and skilled crew, everything came together right on time. We couldn’t be happier with the result — our backyard turned out even better than we imagined!

Omer's team did great work on my mom's front yard! The turf looks better than every other home on her block and she's gotten tons of compliments on the wall and lighting they installed. Everyone was very professional and they left the place clean when they were done. We highly recommend Designs 4 You and we'll definitely be using their services in the future.

Back in early August of 2025, we began the process of gathering bids for a bathroom remodel project. One of the companies who came to the house (Designs4You). When Olivia and Liam arrived, they were incredibly polite, friendly, and remarkably helpful in helping us to navigate the ins and outs of choosing a company to complete the project. While their pricing was on par with all the other companies we surveyed, they went above and beyond by showing us how to do our homework, investigate whichever company we ultimately chose, and picking one who we could could trust. That alone was enough to persuade us to go with them and we could not be happier.

The process (delayed by the uncontrollable city permit office) went incredibly smoothly from start to finish. Olivia and Liam spent time talking design, shopping with us and helping to pick out complimentary products, and visited throughout the project to ensure every aspect of the project went smoothly.

The finished project turned out amazing: fresh, beautiful, and functional. All the workers who came daily were polite, professional, and cleanly. I cannot say enough how please we are with the project and we would not hesitate to utilize them for future projects when the time comes. Olivia, especially, was a refreshing project manager who put in a lot of personal time to come by and meet with us on a regular basis and we really appreciated her personal touch.

We hired Designs for You to landscape our new build backyard lot. The project called for the installation of drain pipes, pavers, artificial turf, irrigation lines, in-ground electrical line, planting shrubs and pergola installation. Ms. Stacy Fisher (sales rep and site manager) expertly walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She put together a solid contract with all required items annotated to include price, payment timeline, customer and company responsibilities, and expected completion date. The project started well and we were on track to a great finish. Unfortunately, the City's building permit process was slow, unresponsive and unwilling to compromise. After a month of waiting, the City ultimately denied the pergola based on single family lot/zoning codes that were previously waived for our Big Box Builder. Unfortunately, this double standard is one that could not have been anticipated. However, the owner of Designs 4 You, Mr. Omer Abitbul, made it right for us. He absorbed all pre-reconstruction costs (a clear business loss) and also gave us an additional 15% discount for the inconvenience of project delay and loss of property use. This is an excellent example of a client based, reputable company "doing the right thing" in a less than auspicious situation. In short, it was a great experience and we received a quality product at a reasonable price to be enjoyed for many years to come. Thank You Omer, Stacy, Henry and crew. Best, George & Gayle

I am happy to say my project was completed in less than 6 weeks. My project manager was Dorian. He helped with my vision and had a lot of patience with my questions and changes. Creating a Zen space could prove challenging but Dorian got the job done. My backyard is Zenfabulous!!
A big thank you to Dorian and all at Designs 4 You.

This company and their staff did a wonderful job on my back patio building a patio cover. They were efficient , cleaned up after themselves and it was done to perfection. I would definitely encourage others to use this company for their design services.

Fantastic Experience with Patricio and His Team!

We couldn’t be happier with the work Patricio and his crew did on our backyard! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient. Patricio took our space from a plain dirt lot and completely transformed it into a beautiful, functional outdoor area.

He designed everything perfectly — incorporating pavers, a DG trail, mulch areas, and fresh grass — and the final result looks amazing. His design sense and attention to detail really brought our vision to life. The best part? The project was completed quickly and right on schedule

Workmanship was extraordinary. Under Omar's leadership, each skill - masonry, irrigation, lighting, planting - was executed well. Dorian helped source materials and kept project momentum going. A tricky drainage issue was solved with a simple solution. Crews kept the job site clean and safe. We're thrilled with how our backyard looks, especially since it was finished in time for the holidays. I would choose Designs 4 You for other projects in the future.

One of our friends referred us to Designs 4 You since she recently had her backyard remodeled and had a great experience.

We first met Roni, our project manager, during an in-home consult. It was wonderful meeting her and she did an excellent job listening to our wishes first and then sharing her vision for our backyard project. It was very helpful to see the 3-D render provided to us to truly envision what our backyard would look like. She is extremely experienced in her role and always has us, the customers, as her priority. She was readily accessible and communicated very well with any questions, comments, concerns that came up during the course of the project. She was available via text and phone call. She respected our time with our busy work schedules and was very accommodating to ensure that we had the support we needed.

We greatly appreciate all of Roni’s recommendations, particularly since this whole process was new to us. Roni’s honesty, clear communication, and suggestions helped develop trust. This trust and collaboration was pivotal to our families trust in the process during these big changes being done in our home.

We live in an HOA and her team helped with all HOA-related questions, applications, etc. It saved so much time and hassle on our part and they did with ease and profesionalism. They never cut corners and made sure that everything was up to code and HOA-compliant.

We did encounter some weather challenges, particularly rain, that delayed the project. However, Roni and her team were vigilant and communicated with us regularly as to when they would be able to safely resume the project to ensure that the integrity of all the construction materials would not be compromise by the elements.

Prior to our renovation, our family did not use our backyard as much given that it was just dirt and not a pleasant space. However, now with such a beautiful remodel, we are enjoying our backyard to the fullest. In all honesty, the end result looked almost identical to the 3D render/design— it’s spectacular!

I would most certainly recommend Designs 4 You for any person or families, wishing to renovate their home to create a lovely, livable, and enjoyable space!

We worked with Project Manager Joe Hillel on a non-dwelling “rebuild” of our outdoor shed to go from an 100 year old crumbling, leaking garage with existing plumbing for laundry to a beautiful well-made out building for laundry, tools and stuff and a full bathroom followed by reconstruction/remodel of our only interior bathroom. The “rebuild” is in quotes because we required by the city to rebuild rather than build new. Really though, it is hard to see what remains from the original, and that is a very good thing because it had wood rot, termite damage, etc. Our experience was very good. Joe and the office team worked through San Diego’s very long and tedious permit application process - a process that is not for the impatient or faint of heart!

Once we were able to begin construction, we truly appreciated and were impressed by the communication that happened throughout the process between Joe as the Project Manger and George, the Foreman as well as George and the crew. Everyone was reliable, conscientious, and demonstrated respect for our little part of San Diego, which in our experience is not something all crews and companies do. Additionally, we consistently saw other folks from the main office come through to take pictures and check in on progres, or come by for inspections.

We are very happy with our new out building - we call it “The Out House” - and our interior bathroom and look forward to enjoying them for many, many years to come.

I am not yet ready to think our future projects (it is an old house and there will be future projects…), but when it is time, we call Joe H. at Designs4You. He cares about the work, customer satisfaction, and brings lots of experience to the project. Perhaps most importantly, he is an involved project manager.

Though we had a relatively small patio project, Roni Abitbul and her team, including Luis and Santiago, gave it their full attention and expertise. From our initial meeting, Roni had all the facts, figures, and costs at her fingertips and we set a start date. I was very impressed with her knowledge of construction and codes, ability to foresee potential issues such as drainage, clarity about the scope of the project, and willingness to offer alternative solutions. Roni is a TOTAL BOSS! The crew worked with my husband on his design ideas and additions to the plan. Though we had a few unforeseen setbacks (doesn't every construction project?) due to tree roots and historic home issues, everyone rolled with it and we finished with excellent results. We found all the crew and foremen to be respectful, prompt, cheerful, and very good about communicating. We are left with a transformed outdoor space that we will enjoy for many years to come. Our sincere thanks to Roni and her top-notch team at Designs 4 You - I would recommend them to anyone for a remodeling project, large or small!

We’re absolutely thrilled with the final results of our new backyard patio—Designs 4 You exceeded our expectations from start to finish!

Roni, our project manager, was phenomenal. She clearly explained their entire process for hardscaping our small backyard and made sure we understood each step along the way. Her communication was consistent and proactive—always keeping us updated and advising us on what to expect next.

Daniela also did an outstanding job managing the HOA submittal process on our behalf. She handled everything from start to finish and kept us fully informed throughout. It was such a relief not having to navigate that ourselves.

The crew was amazing—100% professional, on time, and very respectful of our property and plants. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each work day and completed the project ahead of schedule!

We’re so happy with the transformation. Sharing a few after photos so others can see the quality of their work—we highly recommend Designs 4 You if you’re considering an outdoor (or indoor) project! They provide very high quality service and guarantee their work.

Designs 4 You absolutely crushed our backyard remodel. Sharing our before and after photos... they speak for themselves. But we also want to shout out our team - Patricio was our project manager, and he was so helpful and responsive. And then Allen & his team made Pato's vision a reality. We'll definitely be using D4U again for future projects. And can't wait to enjoy our yard all summer long!
