Based out of Oceanside California, Green Master Landscape, Inc. has been servicing North County and San Diego residents for over 20 years. We are experienced and professional work that has been reliable and trusted by our clients. Originally we started out as a maintenance only company, servicing Oceanside residents primarily. Since then we have grown and expanded into a full service hardscape/landscape company providing a lot more than maintenance work. Many pool builders have recommended and have sub-contracted us to do the landscaping after a pool is build. Many of our clients have been with us for years and years. On an annual average we complete about 15-20 full landscape jobs, primarily new homes and of course we welcome re-landscaping jobs as well.

"Excellent planning, highly skilled, well supervised"

"We had our garage floor epoxied. They did a beautiful job. Vince told me exactly what the process would be and how to best prepare for it. We are so pleased with the results! They did such a good job that we asked if they could do something about our pavers by our pool. They get very slippery when wet. The manufacturer's rep had told us that there was nothing he could do. We've had these terrible looking mats down so no-one would fall. Vince and his crew finished the pavers so that we don't have to have any mats down and so more slips or falls! We're going to have him polish our granite countertop. We've had it since 2018 and it's time for a shining. I'm sure that they will do a great job like they've done with everything else. Thank you!"

"ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER, THREATENS, AND MAKES FRIVOLOUS INJURY CLAIMS. 1st red flag asked for half the money ($15,000) up front which is illegal to do in the state of California. So glad I never did, he would have taken the money and ran. I met Evan on site walked the entire job with him, in which he was very difficult to talk to about the entire job scope, he then sent me an invoice for $32,600.00. I explained I always pay as the job goes and that he will get a check if there is progress being made. He agreed to his invoice, down payment amount of $3500 and started the job. I had sent him plans to show where the footings were to be poured but explained there is additional grading, side walkways, and patio work not in the permitted plans; that will need to be done is why we walked the job site to begin with. This is where the first issue with him started. He claims we never discussed this, but it is clearly written in his invoice after showing him his invoice he then agreed to it. At this point the only work that had been done was grading, footings dug, and a garage demolition. He asked for a material deposit, so I gave him a check for $4000.00 and I had already sent him $1000.00 by zelle for dump fees, which I agreed to pay since it wasn’t clear in his invoice. When I showed up to check the progress several neighbors complained about the mess, he had made all over the sidewalks with dirt and there was no dust control. Upon this inspection I noticed that no additional grading was done in the areas he had agreed to, which was also the front yard and where the side walkways were also to be poured. I had to clean up the site and apologize to my neighbors and order dust prevention fences. Here is where we had the disconnect...I gave him 2 plumbers phone numbers to call so they could set the ABS prior to setting the forms and rebar. This was where the 2nd red flag was, he said he always sets his forms and rebar then the plumber comes in after. If anyone has done new construction before they know the plumbing goes in 1st then the rebar. How could you possibly put plumbing pipes in if there is rebar in the way. So I arranged for a plumber to show up and let Evan know but he never showed up and this was the 3rd red flag. I reached out to him because of the lack of communication with him and 7 days had gone by for him to meet me on the job site to go over the entire scope of work and for him to have a COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING. After a difficult hour of him not understanding much but then he finally got it, we came to a finalized agreement. I even increased the invoice amount $3000 more. He had $8500 at this point which far exceeded his 1st phase invoice quote amount. He said he needed $4000 more and thank God I only sent $2500. He was asking for $10,000 more but I felt this was a very bad idea since I was already frustrated with him, and he constantly argued about a job he didn't seem to understand. I explained I was very upset with him for now showing up for a week and was wanting to contact the contractor state license board and police for fraud. Because he had shown up and finally understood my expectations, I felt we were on the same page and even took him to lunch. His real intentions were to rip me off for more money. I sent $2500 deposit for materials knowing the cost for forms and rebar would not exceed this amount. Two days later at 7:36am he claims he injures himself and sends me a picture of his hand supposedly cut, but it looked like a gauze pad with ketchup. I showed up to the property and not one form was set nor was there a 2x4 on the property. I asked my neighbors and a tenant that lives there if he was there and they all said NO, even asked the neighbor to pull his video footage, nothing. He texted me that since he injured himself, and that if I went after him legally or wrote any reviews, HE WOULD SUE ME SINCE HE IS NOT LICENSED. HE ALSO SENT THREATENING TEXT MESSAGES TO HURT ME SINCE HE KNOWS WHERE I LIVE AND THAT HIS FAMILY IS WITH THE HELLS ANGES AND THEY WILL DEAL WITH ME THE OLD FASHION WAY. I warn anyone out there this guy is not all there and is as crooked as they come. I have tried to ask for the deposits back but all I got was more threats and gas lighting tactics from him to deflect his wrongdoing. I’m out about $11,000 and only got about $5000 worth of work, to compromise I asked for $5000 back and instead he threatens to make a frivolous injury claim on property or have me killed or beaten up. Photos are attached to prove this an honest review, with his invoice, threatening text messages, and phase 1 was never completed. Invoice says he has insurance, and he is trying to scare tactic as the homeowner to avoid reimbursing me the deposits. This guy is a thief and does not know how to do legitimate business"

FAQs for concrete finishing, overlays & coloring application projects in Rancho-bernardo, CA

With proper care, a stained concrete floor easily lasts 20 years or more. Reapply sealer every two to four years to protect against moisture, scratches, and daily wear. Routine sweeping, occasional damp mopping, and prompt repairs keep the surface looking sharp and protect the slab underneath, preserving both function and resale value.

Stained concrete can crack if the slab is exposed to extreme moisture changes, heavy impacts, or settling. Small hairline cracks are mainly cosmetic, but deeper fractures can affect the finish. Inspect the floor regularly, address moisture issues quickly, and hire a pro for timely repairs. Staying on top of maintenance prevents minor flaws from developing into larger, more costly problems.

The longevity of a concrete stain depends on the product you choose. Acid-based options chemically bond with the slab and are essentially permanent. Water-based stains sit on the surface and can be lightened, darkened, or covered with a new color at a later time. Select the stain type that aligns with your long-term design plans and your willingness to reapply the stain in the future.

You can update the color by cleaning the slab, lightly etching it, and applying a new layer of stain. Re-staining bonds to the concrete and resists peeling far better than paint. For a dramatic shift—such as moving from a dark acid stain to a lighter tone—you may need to grind the surface first. A flooring pro can advise on the best approach for your specific floor.

Stained concrete combines longevity with a modern, custom look. The finish resists heavy foot traffic, moisture, and everyday wear, so upkeep is minimal—routine sweeping and an occasional damp mop are usually enough. Because the color is inside the concrete, it won’t peel or flake like paint. Homebuyers also appreciate its sleek aesthetic and low maintenance, which can add a slight boost to your property's resale value.
