"Best company to deal with for landscape projects. We saw them work on our neighbor’s front yard and were impressed with the attention to detail. We contacted Coastal Pavers and spoke to the owner Steve Lawrence, who promptly showed up to give us a quote for our project. Steve is an amicable fellow—laid back and easy to work with throughout the process. Tell him what you want, and his company delivers. His crew (led by Fernando) is a hard-working group. They show up on time and clean up after themselves. They are easy to talk to, too, which we really appreciated. About nine months after my project was completed, there was a little bit of touch up that needed to be done. Steve took care of it with NO QUESTIONS ASKED and no charges. Lastly, the price: Coastal Pavers was very competitive. They are licensed and bonded, too. We wholeheartedly recommend this company!!!"

"TLDR: Kent is a talented artist who has mastered i. the fine line in landscaping between aesthetics and practical use and ii. the rare and valuable business skill of being customer-centric. We had a big job with his team and we were so happy with the end result and the relationship we built along the way that I promised Kent a review that came from the heart - it's a bit long but here it goes. My first impression of Kent was of an artist and a very-talented one at that - bringing vision and experience to the table. My family had just bought a new house in the perfect canyon lot we always wanted, but the house needed some TLC. We wanted to transform our front and backyard into something that corresponded to our dream backyard for the next 10-20 years for our kids to grow up and enjoy in. Although we had some idea of what we wanted, we were certainly not landscaping experts and several of our ideas were quite rough around the edges. We needed someone who was flexible to our vision but could help us connect the dots on how to get there taking into account practical application and aesthetics. Kent did just that. His first time over he spent time aligning with us on our vision and he professionally called out some of the flaws in our thinking. We recognized a lot of what he said made sense and started to mold our vision around some of those insights. To solidify the idea, he brought out his sketch book and literally drew his vision for our backyard in two sketches (sounds corny, but frankly - it showed his artistry excellence and care for the customer). Once that was done and we aligned on the game plan - Kent and his team started immediately within the next 2-3 days. It was quite a thing to watch his team of 10-20 employees at any given day tear ad rebuild my backyard within 2-3 weeks. At a high-level, Kent's scope of work was as follows: - demo'd old concrete/pavers and re-poured new colored concrete - demo'd old patio cover and installed a giant alumawood patio cover - moved a ton of dirt around with an excavator to re-level the area behind our backyard - re-did drainage to stop water from pooling/staining concrete (as it was before) - removed several trees and ground the stumps (some over 70 ft tall!) - installed new queen and multi-trunked king palms - installed planters with low-maintenance plants (succulents, ice plants, etc) and new stations for the automated drip system - Built our barrel sauna for us and ran new 220V electrical line - installed a section of artificial sod that looked gorgeous As you can imagine from the size of the project, there were some snags that happened along the way: an accidental broken window, a structural issue with the patio cover, concrete discoloration due to the wildly rainy season we had in March-April, among some other minor items. However, what impressed me the most is how if you give Kent and team the chance to fix it, they WILL fix it. Although discussions on such snags and remedying it are never usually straight-forward, in the end what really mattered to me is that Kent showed the ownership to set us - as his customers up for success - owned up to those snags being his responsibility and remedied it with professionalism and always remaining customer-centric. I appreciate Kent and his son - Kacen - very much and very much plan to work with them on future projects in the near future."

"David installed a 25' block and stucco wall to replace our tract home fencing. This included a walled cutout in our slope to hide our trash carts. Top-notch craftsmanship. David provided several suggestions during planning than made for a high-quality finished job. Because we widened the gate by about a foot, we needed to modify the used brick walkway. David came up with a way to widen the walkway using existing brick. Project was completed on the target end date, despite a couple of delays. David was very helpful coordinating with our neighbor so our new wall aligned with their new fence. Highly recommend!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

In San Marcos, small cracks in brick or stone veneer that expand after rain, persistent efflorescence, or mortar that crumbles easily can signal deeper moisture or settling problems. If you notice stair-step cracks or shifting in retaining walls, these may indicate foundation movement. Early intervention by a masonry professional can prevent these minor issues from turning into major structural repairs.

Helpful?

If you see flaking bricks, deteriorating mortar, or bowing retaining walls in San Marcos, these are clear signs for masonry repair. However, if you notice persistent water pooling, electrical issues near masonry, or doors sticking due to settling, consult both a mason and a relevant specialist, such as a plumber or structural engineer, to ensure you address the root cause and not just the symptoms.

Helpful?

San Marcos homeowners can choose eco-friendly masonry options such as permeable pavers for patios and driveways, which help manage runoff. Locally sourced stone and recycled brick reduce environmental impact, while insulated concrete forms increase energy efficiency. Consider reflective coatings or green wall systems to further enhance sustainability and comfort, especially given the area’s warm climate and focus on water conservation.

Helpful?

When hiring for masonry work in San Marcos, prioritize contractors with proven expertise in local stone veneer and brick repair, as these materials are common in the area. Ask about their experience with hillside properties and drainage solutions, which are crucial for the region’s terrain. Ensure they’re familiar with neighborhood restrictions and can provide a detailed project plan, including timelines and material sourcing specific to San Marcos.

Helpful?

In San Marcos, skipping soil testing before installing retaining walls or patios is a frequent mistake that can lead to shifting or cracking. Homeowners sometimes use improper mortar mixes for the local climate or overlook the need for expansion joints in stone veneer installations. Failing to check for underground utilities or not planning for drainage can also cause costly setbacks and future repairs.
