Get matched with top interlocking pavers for patios, walks & steps installers in Studio City, CA

"I contracted with Paramount Pavers in May 2021 for two main projects: pavers and artificial turf. The Paramount crew assigned to my projects was supervised by “Leo”, with “Isaac”, one of the owners of Paramount, arranging for materials and overseeing my projects. Paramount’s crew was exceptional, hard-working, committed and did an overall outstanding job on the pavers’ project. Leo and his crew demonstrated extraordinary skill and timely execution of every element of the pavers’ installation, from initial demolition of existing reinforced concrete to laying of pavers in the backyard, curved walkways and five levels of large curved steps for the entryway in the front yard, and meandering decorative pavers around the border of the new artificial turf area. The result: a remarkable 5-Stars level pavers’ project that is the proverbial “talk of the town” in my neighborhood. Although “Rudy”, the other owner of Paramount, was my initial contact with Paramount, Isaac took over principal responsibility for the oversight of my projects. Having been in construction many years myself, I was pretty exhaustive in getting estimates for my proposed projects and searching the backgrounds and reputations of nine (9) paver/artificial turf contractors. After comparison of estimates, backgrounds, reputations and even contract forms, I felt the most comfortable with Paramount even though its estimate was at the higher end. Paramount’s contract was the most descriptive and easy for any layman to read and understand, in contrast to other contracts that were lacking in detail, were lacking a satisfactory warranty, contained small print of “hidden” extra charges/conditions and/or in some cases were even unconscionable. Thankfully, Isaac was very accommodating, recognizing the reasonableness of my suggested changes/additions to Paramount’s contract and agreeing to them. Isaac was always so attentive, courteous and responsive. He went that “extra mile” to make sure my pavers’ install and some associated brick work went smoothly and professionally. He is an absolute pleasure to work with! Isaac is a 5-Stars kind of guy! The only hesitancy I had in contracting with Paramount for my approximately 600 square feet of new artificial turf in an irregular-shaped area adjoining the front-yard walkway was my concern about their experience/confidence with installing new artificial turf. All of the other bidders on my artificial turf project had uniformly recommended American-made turf and calculated that with the standard 15 feet wide artificial turf rolls, only one (1) seam would be required to do the job, but Paramount had recommended a foreign-made brand I was unfamiliar with and did not comment on the seam factor that others deemed important to stress. Each other bidder stated that the seams should be kept to an absolute minimum, and done in a serpentine pattern at the seam (which I was told helps camouflage the seam), with the starting point being at the northern end of my turf area with the turf material being rolled southerly. In my contract with Paramount, I required that they install the artificial turf with only one (1) seam and that the seam be in a serpentine pattern, so they knew they would have to order a roll long enough to enable the single seam and cut the seam in a serpentine pattern. I assumed they had enough experience to know how to lay the new artificial turf roll to ensure its proper installation. Although their base preparation for the new artificial turf area seemed fine, unfortunately the install of the artificial turf itself fell short of the professionalism I had come to expect from Paramount. Paramount ended up with four (4) straight seams, three (3) of which are quite obvious in the main northerly area of the artificial turf easily seen by viewers --not hidden at its less observed opposite southerly end. On further investigation and measurement, I discovered the origin of the mishap. First, at least one 40’ (or to be safe, at least 41’) long roll of the 15’ wide artificial turf material should have been ordered, but only about a 38’ long roll was ordered (“Short Roll”), making it impossible for the installers to do the job correctly. Second, apparently, there was a lack of communication between the installers and Isaac, since had the installers (particularly Leo) been aware of the shortage of the Short Roll (which my security video confirmed he saw the shortage), they should have called Isaac immediately on discovery of the shortage and requested direction. But Isaac told me he did not hear anything about this (until I showed him after completion of the job). Third, the installers layed the Short Roll out down the center of the artificial turf area starting at its southerly terminus, rolling it northerly and leaving gaps at the northerly, westerly and easterly sections of the artificial turf area, when the proper lay should have been (even with the Short Roll) starting from the northerly terminus at its brick wall and moving in a southerly direction off-center with the easterly edge of the Short Roll touching the brick wall at the easterly end of the artificial turf area and leaving possibly only two (2) seams to deal with (the 2’ shortage at the southerly end and about a 7’ shortage at the westerly end). But they had focused on their initial layout and did not consider how to minimize the seams with the Short Roll by reversing the starting point. Bottom line: I would highly recommend Paramount Pavers for any pavers’ job you might have. They are clearly reliable, competent 5-Stars level pavers and so easy to work with. Had they performed at the same level with the new artificial turf install, I would have given them an unconditional 5-Stars overall rating. After I saw how great they did on the pavers, I felt they would measure up to the same high standards on the new artificial turf install. But that feeling proved elusive. Because of the mishaps with the artificial turf install, which I would rate at only 3-Stars, I reluctantly but in good conscious must be honest and give an overall rating on the total job -- pavers and artificial turf -- of 4-Stars. Knowing Isaac, he will adjust and ensure better accuracy in measurements and proper installation of artificial turf on future jobs, so I would have no hesitancy in highly recommending Paramount Pavers for your projects."

"I had a 50+ year old concrete patio that has multiple patches of varying concrete colors and lots of cracks that needed to be replaced. Joe and his team removed the old concrete and replaced it with pavers. Joe did exactly what I asked and even made some improvement suggestions that I am very happy with. They always arrived exactly on time and worked very hard during a very hot summer. They are consummate professionals. It has been a couple of months since they completed the job, it looks wonderful and I get a lot of complements on it. I could not be happier with the outcome."

"I had just finished working with three different contractors on separate projects inside of our new home and wanted to renovate our backyard before hosting a baby shower at the end of the following month. That concentrated experience with different companies (some of which less ideal than others) left me a bit apprehensive but also helped set a standard when it came to finding the right company to revamp our backyard. Upon first meeting Oz and Brandon at our consultation, they far exceeded my expectations when it came to customer service. Sure, they took measurements of our yard and we discussed the scope of the project. However, they also took time to tell me about themselves and their work, and to get to know me and what my goals were for both the final backyard result and the process getting there. Time, affordability, quality, and professionalism were all important to me and I can honestly say that Encore Builders was able to meet all of my needs without drastically sacrificing one for another. As for their communication skills? Before, during, and after this whole experience: grade A. Before we officially decided to green-light Encore and their services, I was waiting on my other half to return home from working out of state so that he and I could discuss, in person. In the meantime, Brandon regularly followed-up via telephone calls - and never in a badgering or pushy manner. It was the perfect level of professionalism I would expect from a successful business. He genuinely wanted to make sure that we were comfortable with the information they provided and that we had a clear understanding of what our options were. For example, they initially recommended utilizing their designer to generate ideas for our backyard but the vision we had seemed relatively straightforward (I even provided rough measurements for it). We decided to forgo the designer and draw out a plan together because they were determined to help make our yard as close to our vision as possible without breaking the bank. After material costs were confirmed, Oz and Brandon would regularly text me with new ideas (minor, but money-saving tweaks) that would help us stay within budget. As far as when the project started, if Oz had not already physically stopped by to check in, he was calling me at the end of the each day to go over the happenings and discuss what I should expect the following day. He also made purchasing materials from suppliers a breeze by doing all of the legwork and acting as an intermediary for the payment process. Then there was the crew who truly cared about their quality of work. Yes, there were a few errors and minor overlooked details along the way - that is inevitable. But unlike the experience I had with previous contractors, the crew was receptive to my concerns, more than willing to correct the matter, and never once made me feel uncomfortable or bad for pointing it out in the first place. And these guys were really putting in the work. Due to an impending storm, we had (rotating) crew members here 7 days straight while our project was completed in 10 days (the bulk of which consisted of demoing, grading, resloping, and replacing 1400sf half grass/half concrete yard with brick/pavers and artificial turf). Of course, at the end of the day, Encore is running a business and making a living but they are incredibly easy to work with and are altruistic when it comes to giving their clients a beautiful yard. They even sent a team back to seal our pavers for us when we inquired about it (paver sealing is not an inherent service). We are over the moon with our results and despite my other half previously advocating for real grass, our artificial turf is so vibrant and convenient that he is eager to get some in our front yard, as well. To be clear, we absolutely plan on renovating our front yard in the near future and will ONLY be calling Encore. Thank you, you have all been phenomenal."

"We wanted our backyard to host guests and the rest with a natural touch. Josef helped us come up with a mix of paver patio and turf. The design worked out better than we thought, making the space look bigger. His team handled the grading and laid a proper base under both sections. The turf drains well, and the pavers stay cool even in the heat. Everything is solid, ad we now use that part of the yard every weekend."

"I waited to put up a review for Pacific Outdoor Living until I could give a full story. Our goal was to fix up our backyard which had never been 'scaped before. We had POL put in a patio of pavers with a grill placed and landscape the entire backyard. We also had an in ground water fountain set up. The job went as planned on time. The different crews were extremely polite and respectful. Very professional. The job turned out beautifully but there were some issues, which thankfully POL has been willing to address. To start, they are a solid pavers company. That is their absolute strength. They know what they are talking about here. The patio and grill are awesome. We had it set with electrical wiring for both an outdoor fridge and a countertop outlet. We also had them run conduit over to a spot where we later installed a jacuzzi. They did a fantastic job. We hired them to also do the landscaping and as we learned, while they do this well, it is not their 1st expertise. They provide this in order to do complete jobs. I suspect there is always going to be loss of some vegetation after installation. This is probably the one thing you can't guarantee but there are other companies we got estimates from where landscaping was clearly their primary expertise. Nevertheless, POL has always owned anything that didn't go perfectly. The landscaping looked great but some of the sod and some of the water resistant plants didn't survive. They replaced whatever needed to be replaced. Even after the summer heat wave and drought where we were limited to watering the lawn to twice a week and had grass die. They listened to my issues which they agreed were not my fault. They owned up to the fact that the sprinkler zones were not perfectly laid out. More than a year later, they came out and just added an additional zone for the lawn, replaced some of the ground cover. In addition, the outlet on our new grill/counter shorted out with the heavy rains this winter as somehow water managed to seep under the covered outlets; they replaced this as well. It would have been more ideal if everything turned out perfectly from the beginning but with these projects, one has to assume there will be some issues. What you want is a company that stands by its work and will not balk at fixing things. POL owned it all and has impressed me by doing so. I am so impressed that I am buying a new batch of mulch from them. I would hire them again even with the landscaping issues because they did not walk away from the problems even after the initial three month warranty. They are a class act."

"Mike and his crew did an excellent job with a large cement slab in my backyard. It was done very quickly and it came out beautifully! Thank you!"

"Our concrete driveway was 35 years old, well-worn and cracked in numerous areas. It was unsightly and detracted from the overall look of the house and yard. It is also over 300 feet long covering 5200 square feet. We decided to have it replaced with pavers along with the walkway to our front door. Once that decision was made we had to figure out the contractor to use and the pavers to use. I got eight bids from small companies, midsized companies and the large national companies. The price difference between the lowest to the highest was $54,000. The two big companies were nearly twice the cost of the lowest ones. I also found that there are different methods of installing the pavers. I have a fairly steep grade on the driveway. One of the large expensive companies wanted to put 22 bolsters on the driveway. Some of the small companies weren't going to install any. The majority were going to install 3 or 4 bolsters. These keep the pavers from sliding down the grade. I ended up contracting with Eminent Pavers owned and operated by Mark (Web Site; eminentpavers.com) (Phone No. 323 842-9464) (Email; eminentconstruction1@gmail.com). Mark has been installing pavers for many years and knows his business. He also has only one crew that is overseen by his foreman, Santiago. Several of the companies I got bids from run several crews. Mark has one crew of extremely hardworking and talented craftsman. He is not overreaching and bringing in labors to operate several jobs at once. Most of Mark's employees have been with him for several years. His foreman, Santiago, has been with him for nearly ten years. Mark's cost for the project was more than fair. He was not the lowest bid, but he did much more than the lowest ones and even more that those big expensive companies. Mark also has an eye for design. Our driveway was not a box. It had curves and sweeps as it flowed to the garage. Mark was on his hands and knees making sure the finish product looked right, and it did. Picking out the right pavers is not an easy task. There are two primary suppliers and numerous colors and designs. One recommendation I have is to drive to the supply house Mark will recommend and look at them in person. The brochure photos don't always look the same in person. Once we had signed the contract we added a planter. Not a problem. Mark gave us a very fair price for the additional work. Mark's did such a great job our daughter had contracted with him to put pavers in at her house and our son is going to get a bid from him for his driveway. I rarely leave reviews. However, Mark, Santiago and the craftsman that completed this project deserve these acylates and thanks."

"Gilberto and his crew were contracted to replace deck with pavers. His work and business ethics are excellent. His crew was friendly. kept work area neat and clean while completing the job and made sure that the job is done to satisfaction. They are professional and easy to work with. Anyone needing pavers should know that I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Our patio is now a place to really enjoy now."
