Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc. - Monterey, California

We interviewed several contractors and Black Diamond was our choice due to their professionalism, expertise, quality, and customer service. Project Design Specialist, Robert, designed our front and back yards but listened to our input and instituted those in his design. He is truly a professional and there were no egos involved. He did a yeoman’s job in dealing with our city building department and made numerous changes they requested. Crew Foreman, Alfredo, and his team did a great job in executing the design. They were always prompt, worked hard, and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Quality of work shows their commitment.
Robert was always available to answer our questions (nights, weekends, holidays) and made sure things were right and going smoothly. He truly is customer focused . We are looking forward to using our backyard with the amazing landscape, barbecue island, gas fire pit, and pergola.

Frances and her team were amazing. They transformed our backyard into something better than I imagined. They were thorough, fast and responsive. The crew led by Ismael was very good.

The Team at Black Diamond did a great job with my landscaping project. The Project Manager, Robert, did a great job in collaborating with me on the design and offered great suggestions. The workmanship for all elements of the design was very good.

My wife and I spent the two years since we moved into our house in Marina, CA, thinking about what to do about our backyard. We obtained a bid from one local landscaping company. When we received their proposal, we realized they had not listened very well to what we wanted. We were then referred by a friend to Frances Krebs at Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscaping.

Frances met with us and listened closely to what we wanted and didn’t want. Her proposal was pretty much spot on. She provided invaluable guidance on selecting the pavers that complemented the color palette of our back yard (Belgard Avalon Slate, Bella). We were delighted with the selection of plants she chose. Frances is a Monterey area resident, and she is very familiar with the climate and soil in our area. All in all she helped create exactly what we wanted from the barest concept we initially expressed.

We anticipated the demolition and installation process would be noisy, dirty and disruptive. However, job foreman Suri and his crew did everything they could to minimize the disruption. We appreciated that to the maximum extent the crew used electric powered tools as opposed to noisy gasoline powered ones. Frances checked on the progress of the job throughout. The entire process was completed on schedule and exactly as specified. Their attention to detail was remarkable. Black Diamond has a relatively large footprint in this state. Having a a local contact who could be on site within minutes was essential to the success of the undertaking.

In projects like this there can be an unfortunate difference between cost and value. That was certainly not the case with Black Diamond. While not the low price option, they epitomized the old saying, “You get what you pay for.” We would not hesitate recommending Black Diamond’s services to anyone seeking a quality landscape project.

There are multiple reasons why I recommend Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape to anyone considering a change to your outdoor space. It begins with a design and, for Black Diamond, Frances Krebs prepared ours. Frances was also our sole contact person for the entire project and she was frequently on site to answer questions and inspect progress. Frances filled us with confidence from the very beginning by her warm manner and insightful suggestions for the best use of the space. She is a pleasure to work with and I never felt she was attempting to steer us toward the priciest option, which was very refreshing. She simply desired to design what we described to her we wanted with our outdoor space and, in our case, she nailed it. Frances’ professionalism extends as well to Ismael and his very professional crew who implemented the design as well as the folks in the San Jose back office at Black Diamond. All around, an extremely good company that designed and implemented our gorgeous patio. I cannot recommend Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape enough!

I had Black Diamond install pavers in my front yard. It looks great and I have had a lot of compliments.Robert Beneshan came out and gave me an estimate. He was friendly and answered all my questions. Ismael and the crew were hard working and friendly—great job! They even worked in the rain. They came back and fixed some sand that had washed out without any problem.

I am quite satisfied with my experience with Black Diamond Pavers of Monterey. Our point person was Chris Supinski. I cannot recommend him enough. He took our unique design for our backyard and made a reality. Chris was professional, easy to work with, patient, and flexible. Communication was great. Even when changes were requested to be made, Chris remained flexible and was timely. We appreciated the teams attention to detail and the quality of the final product. Thank you Chris and Black Diamond of Monterey
