"tickler for good customer service. I will pay a premium for good service and reliability. The thing with Black Diamond is that I got the great service at a better price than the other guys. Before we started our project we vetted a few paving companies. We wanted the works- new floor, gazebo removal, electric line, jacuzzi installation, etc. One of the paving companies we even interviewed recommended we go with Black Diamond. So we reached out to them and ended up going with them. From the start the service was great. Rocco went above and beyond to walk us through everything, make us feel comfortable with our decision and manage the project to our standards. Jose and his team were also phenomenal. They were super quick. The project ETA was about 3-4 weeks and they were done in less than 5 days. The biggest hold up was on our end- trying to get an electrician to run a line under the pavers. Would strongly STRONGLY recommend black diamond for any project you have"

"Working with the team at Pavers Express was super easy and we are so pleased with our end product! They helped us come up with a plan for both our front and back yards. We have two little boys and wanted to rearrange our backyard. We worked together to come up with a plan for a new bluestone patio with fire-it (which we use ALL the time!), turf for the kids to play and a place to grow our veggies. We spend so much more time outside now! They also did our entire front yard. We extended our driveway to make it bigger so the car doors don't hit each other. We love the pavers and it instantly elevated the look of our home. They were able to run piping for irrigation and did turf in the front of our home. My favorite part of it all are the blue stone stepping stones up to our front door. we now have a modern house with VERY little maintenance. We are so happy with their work and we love our outdoor space!"

"We were looking to expand our house for years, with addition ADU. We had selected Geico Builders for their craftsmanship, selection of materials and the competitive pricing. Mila and Kevin worked with us to renovate our enclosed patio build a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. It turned out amazing. We went through several revisions in the design, and they took care of the permits and paperwork with the city. My wife works from home, so they mindful in working around her availability. Overall, the project took about 14 months from when we found them due to permits taking a few months. it's hard living in a construction zone but the team went above and beyond to minimize the impact it had on our lives. They have a great team that is very attentive and responsive. Some of my parts are on back order and the team will be back to install the missing lights and shelves we bought as finishes. I will work with them again if I projects. Great professionals to trust your home."

"So very impressed by the level of professionalism and incredible craftsmanship. Camilo really knows his trade and strives to to do quality work. I had a 35 yr. old flagstone pool surround with failing grout and lifted stones. He immediately knew how to repair it and the result is beautiful; excellent quality and value. You wonâ t be disappointed! He and his team left my property perfectly clean."

"Aaron was (seriously) a "yard whisperer " We had a tired conventional 1960's yard and wanted a low water low maintenance fresh look. He understood my ideas and improved on them with up lights and lights in the beds along the house. He was very inclusive about the choices of the plants and placement. Moreover he stayed within the budget. His installers were efficient and knowledgeable and polite. Thank you Aaron for our gorgeous view!"

FAQs for brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installation projects in San Rafael, CA

When cleaning your flagstone patio, begin by gently hosing off loose dirt and debris. Use a mild solution of white vinegar and water or diluted dish soap to scrub the surface with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using abrasive tools, such as wire brushes, as they can damage the stone’s seal and finish. This careful approach effectively removes mold and grime while preserving the natural beauty of your patio.

Flagstone naturally offers a neutral palette that includes shades of grey, black, red, yellow, brown, and tan, and its inherent color cannot be altered. Choosing varieties like bluestone provides a subtle bluish tint that complements many exterior designs. These natural hues enhance curb appeal and create a refined, timeless look in your outdoor space, ensuring a sophisticated finish with minimal upkeep.

Flagstone for a patio must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 inches to reliably support furniture and foot traffic. Using stone that is two to three inches thick is recommended to ensure lasting durability. The increased thickness prevents cracking under load and enhances long-term performance. Investing in thicker flagstone provides superior stability and resistance to weather conditions, ensuring your outdoor space remains both safe and attractive.

You can paint a flagstone patio by using a high-quality, outdoor elastomeric latex paint designed for heavy foot traffic. Painting not only refreshes the patio’s appearance but also creates a waterproof barrier that protects the stone from damage. Regular reapplication every one to two years maintains its durability and visual appeal, ensuring your patio remains both stylish and well-protected.
