Excavation Contractors McSwain

Justin and his team did great work on a front-yard project of ours. Responsive, efficient, friendly, and professional. We would hire him again and definitely recommend his services.

~ William Ferchland

I would hire him again, and I did! .This is the 2nd yard of ours that Justin and his crew have worked on from scratch.Professional, talented, kind and great communication from all involved in my very involved projects. From drainage and irrigation to pavers and planting. Top notch!

~ Anna Ming

Justin transformed my front yard into an eye popping yard. It is beautiful. Much more than I expected. Crew was on time, courteous, and completed their work exactly when I was told. I could not ask for better. I recommend them highly. Wish I had more yards for him to landscape. Thank you, thank you, Kathy

I feel very fortunate to have found Warner Landscape and Construction. I had a couple of bad experiences and left my landscaping in an unfinished state for many years. It was very difficult to find someone to take on the my landscaping project. Most businesses wouldn’t consider my project because their starting point for a job was well over my budget. I have an extremely large front and backyard.Justin, was willing to work with me and gave me a quote within budget. He was willing to be flexible and allow changes to the original contract.Aside from that, I knew that I would be able to work with him and he would listen to me.I sent him several pictures of xeriscaping ideas to give him an idea of what I wanted. He also added the french drain that I had always wanted.I did the creative work, and was hands-on when I could be to help stay within my budget.His team was hard working, conscientious, and always left the job site clean and organized at the end of the day.The only issue was the plants, which wasn’t entirely his fault, it was still early in the season and the nurseries quality of plants. There were delays, wrong plants or unhealthy plants. My only recommendation is to use a different nursery, which I think was something he was considering anyway.I’m extremely happy with my landscaping! It’s only been completed for a little over 3 months and looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see what it looks like next year.I have received nothing but compliments from neighbors, who are very impressed by the transformation.I’m attaching before and after photos. Unfortunately, I’m unable to post a video of my backyard and I don’t have a pictures, other than the before video. I didn’t take any, because it looked so bad.But I do have the pictures from Google Earth, which can give you some idea.Thank you, Justin, Esau, and Felipe!

~ Gaylyn Bierman

Justin and his crew did an incredible job with our project. The attention to detail, professionalism, quality of work, reasonable rates... I can't list enough great things. Highly recommend them for any of your landscape needs!

~ Anna Ming

Warner Landscape Construction did an excellent job on a small hillside erosion issue in our backyard. Justin was great to work with; clear and thorough in his explanations, available on site doing much of the work himself (he loves his tractors!), and was super helpful and cost conscious when we ran into unexpected issues that required him to pivot quickly with additional work. We would definitely hire him again and recommend him highly to our friends and neighbors!

~ Carol Norem

Justin and team did some drainage work and installed walkways with rock and pavers at my house. He and his team were responsive, professional and did an extremely high quality job. I would highly recommend Warner Landscaping for any of your landscaping needs. Thank you!

~ Justin Burgess

Justin is great to work with. He is responsive and always on the job. He installed a French drain, sump pump and water storage tank on my project and acquired all the permits needed. He is also on top of his business dealings. Highly recommend this business.

~ Jan Elizabeth

We enjoyed working with Justin for our front yard remodel in rural Santa Rosa. Justin collaborated and offered economical suggestions to form a plan for our needs. The Warner Landscape Construction crew was professional and on-time.

~ Kristen Tantarelli

Warner LC did a fantastic job installing pathways in our backyard and was highly communicative/responsive before, during, and after the project. I really appreciated Justin's flexibility, being receptive to last minute requests, and his customer-first approach, sharing really great advice on how to bring our design to life and the best ways to keep it within budget. I will definitely be going back to Warner LC for my next landscaping project.

~ Jesse Bryant

Highly recommend; great service, goes the extra mile, and very good communicator. Will be using again.

~ Nick

Justin's amazing. My wife and I are first-time homeowners doing some big projects, and Justin's been the friendly expertise we needed. He and his team care about getting things right, did a great job, and have been happy to answer an abundance of questions even after the job is done along with checking in on things like the trees they planted. We'll be using him for years to come.

~ David Good

Justin fixed my irrigation, removed the lawn, reset the yard with weed cloth and gravel, and built a pad for my Tuff Shed. He was awesome to work with and helped me troubleshoot several things. I would highly recommend Justin and his team!

~ Melanie Parker

I would highly recommend talking to Justin about your next project. I had a few landscape contractors quote on a project, and while WLC wasn't the cheapest one, Justin's professionalism and detailed proposal of the work to be done gave me the confidence that they would do a great job. Communication was great on scheduling and throughout the project. His team was quick & efficient while completing the work. I couldn't be more pleased & will definitely use Warner Landscape for any future projects.

~ Jorma Gates

Justin and his team at Warner Landscape Construction are truly amazing. I needed some demo work done in my back yard to get some rock walls and cement off the roots of my redwood trees. It was a tricky job, as the trees were old enough to have grown over some of the rocks. Justin was able to maneuver around in some tight places to carefully remove the cement and rocks without damaging the trees, my other plantings, or my septic lines around which he had to take care. They managed to do all this even though the weather turned really terrible and created complications which Justin creatively addressed. I appreciate that Justin does things 'by the book', explains things clearly and keeps line of communication open so I knew what to expect. I'm so happy with his work that I've already called him back for a quote on another job.

~ June Lee

Justin was an absolute professional. Our home was in need of a drainage system to better manage moisture within our crawl space. I initially consulted with Justin to compare his services to another local company and was impressed with how willing he was to point out changes that could be made to their bid in order to better handle the issue and avoid potential problems in the future. After talking with him I understood how knowledgeable and forthright he was. His drainage system performed better than expected during the recent Atmospheric River and Justin came out several times during the rain to monitor the drains and sump pump to ensure things were working correctly. I cannot stress enough how happy I am with the materials used, work completed, and follow up performed. I highly recommend his company and will be using them in the future.

~ Darren Purvis (DP)

Justin and his team We're not only professional, but super friendly, showed up on time, also did little extra things that weren't planned. Plan to use him again.

~ stephanie pile

Justin is who you want for your next project. Yesterday he did a fantastic job grading and creating a fire pit area in gravel for us. It was 100 degrees yesterday but that did not stop Justin from doing a meticulous job for us. Thank you Justin. We will be calling for more projects!!

~ Kimberly Kelly

Warner Landscape fixed my front yard which was screwed up by another Landscape company. Excellent job

~ Ronald Hoppner

Justin was amazing. He listened to what our wants and needs were for our backyard and side patio. He stayed within our budget and kept open lines of communication of how our decisions would impact either the cost or the time line of the project. It’s rare these days to have an owner come out everyday to do the work themselves. I can see why as Justin has an eye for detail like no other. Our backyard came out exactly what we wanted but better. The BBQ shack, designed raised flower bed, the combination of DG and browning path looks great with our new lawn and new concrete patio. The new front fences along with our backyard fence allows us to full privacy and great curb appeal. The side patio and overhang gives a feel of South Carolina next to our BBQ shack that feels a little like Texas. May sound silly but it all compliments our home perfectly and we can’t wait to have more outdoor gatherings.

~ Pilar Oldham

We bought our house in the summer of 2020 and one of the key factors for the buy was the huge yard that the property had to offer. We have 3 dogs and having a big yard was important to us. Soon after we realized that our backyard needed a major overhaul. The grading was off and when it rained we would have 3 mini ponds of water that sat and ran towards our foundation.We contacted 4 companies for bids, Justin at Warner Landscape was one of those companies. Right off the bat Justin presented himself as a highly knowledgeable contractor. He listened to our concerns and our vision and gave suggestions to what we wanted. Out of all the contractors he instilled the most confidence in us to choose him while being conscious of our budget and not trying to up sale any aspect of the job as others had. He said he would always be on site performing the work to the levels of standards we excepted and what he strived to provide.Justin and his team did amazing! Our yard was a big project that lasted a month and Justin was there everyday keeping open lines of communication and problem solving. His eye for detail was impressive and really brought our vision to life and then some. Along with fixing are drainage issues with proper grade and French drains he completely transformed our backyard into an oasis. He built an amazing Grill Shack that far exceeded my expectations! Along with that he built a beautiful back redwood fence, two redwood side fences with gates, new patio concrete with drains, drought tolerant grass, state of the art sprinkler system with WiFi SMART timer technology, hand built custom raised planter box, DG & Brownie Path walkways, and drip system linked to the WiFi SMART timer. My wife and I couldn’t be more pleased with our yard now.I would highly recommend Warner Landscape! You won’t be disappointed.

~ Joshua Oldham

I hired Justin to install a drainage system in my back yard. The yard is not easy to work in--it's multileveled, passageways are tight, the slope is challenging, and the soil was heavily compacted and contained many roots and buried concrete. Even though the job threw him a curveball or two, Justin was undaunted and said he actually enjoyed the challenge!This man is hard-working, knowledgeable, punctual, detail-oriented, flexible, and a great communicator. I have hired quite a few contractors on various jobs at my home in Santa Rosa, and this has been an experience unparalleled in quality, and yet still reasonably priced. I almost hesitate to tell you all this for fear that Justin will get too busy to do more projects for me in the future. He's a true gem.

~ R H

Justin did a great job shrinking my lawn foot print, re-designing sprinklers, and installing sod that is more drought tolerant and uses less watering. He was very friendly, kept in touch, and responds quickly. I will be definitely using him again for future projects.

~ Georgianna Walsh

If we could give Justin more than 5 stars, we would! Professional, personable, truly committed to making customers happy. Absolutely the best contractor we've worked with over the last 10 years as we have done major house improvements. We would recommend him to anyone looking to do a mid to large size landscaping job.Why We Initially Chose Justin:Professional: He met with us before preparing a bid, did measurements and reviewed the design plans we had. He was knowledgeable about CA business practices and informed us that legally he could only ask for 10% up front. Two other contractors who submitted bids asked for between 50-70% upfront (beware, this isn't legal but a common practice).Bid: Complete and fair, with each aspect of the work detailed, from demolition to materials to time/labor. He gave us a range, for each item, so that we knew up front what the minimum/maximum cost would be. We had a couple of unexpected issues come up and he gave us options and recommendations (and in at least one case, recommend the less expensive of 2 options).Owner-operator of a "new-ish" business. Justin was on-site all day, every day working. We feel like when a young contractor's reputation is on display in a neighborhood where they can both get referrals and easily be seen by others, they are really invested in a positive outcome.What We Learned about Justin:Flexible: We had a plan done by another landscape designer and Justin was comfortable doing the installation from those plans. He built into the bid time from his own landscape designer, who did the plant placement, recommended substitutes and adjustments. When I had a very last minute tree relocation after almost everything was complete, he was so accommodating about digging it up, redoing the connected irrigation, mulch, etc. Literally couldn't have been nicer or more flexible.He Truly Cares About His Clients and the Project: We never felt like we were just writing checks. He wanted us to be happy. He wanted the landscaping to look exactly as we had envisioned it (and he and his designer definitely made recommendations and suggestions that made that happen).Clean and Organized: Everything showed up when it was supposed to, no delays. When he was worried about finding the quantity of a particular mulch we had chosen, he made sure to get it early. He cleaned up at the end of every day.

~ Paula Simon

We've been wanting to remove the concrete in our backyard ever since we moved into our house. Justin came to give us a quote and the following weekend he had the entire yard cleared of concrete. He scrapped the area and left the yard so much tidier then he found it. He did the whole project in a day, by himself! It would have taken my husband and I at least 6 days. We are so grateful and highly recommend Justin and his company.

~ Anna Marika Aiona Ramsden

In the heavy rains, I had massive landslide that partially covered a road and had to be removed fast. David Benshimol from Demo Leaders came out the same day I called, and within two days, Demo Leaders had completely removed the slide, cleaned up the road, and reinstalled an iron fence that had been knocked down. David and Demo Leaders were awesome. And their fee was a fraction what other companies wanted. If anyone wants to confirm this review is genuine, just call me at 424-293-0028. Sky

~ Schuyler M.

Love these guys. Truth be told, I was initially skeptical when David from The Demo Leaders gave us his pitch--his confidence promised either an exceptional crew or just a smooth talk. Thrilled to report, it's undoubtedly the former! Their work demolishing our ADU was nothing short of professional and positive, even amidst unexpected challenges. Their team's respect for David and his evident leadership showcased a cohesive, high-quality operation. If you're seeking a demo team that combines professionalism with a genuine care for their work, look no further. The Demo Leaders truly lead by example.

~ Jesse W.

I had Demo Leaders do a complete gutting of a 1000 sq FT workshop that had water and power haphazardly run by the previous tenants. Price was very competitive and I was happy with it, and the service was AMAZING! Ray and Yanir did a fabulous job, removing everything inside and bringing it back to clean floors and walls, with just an electric panel in the corner. Bloody perfect work, in just a few days, and when turned over to me, even the floor was clean. Again, Ray and Yanir did excellent work in a short time on a complicated job, I can highly recommend them and Demo Leaders .

~ Michael S B.

I was so lucky to hear about Chris from a friend of mine. My recently purchased home had some serious issues due to the builder's sloppy work and failure to disclose major problems. Before Chris, I had so many contractors and subcontractors in to diagnose the issues and get estimates - all of them were so different my head was spinning. Chris took such a thorough look through my home and was able to tell me in a very straightforward way everything that was wrong - and what wasn't wrong. Chris is beyond honest and goes out his way to do things the most cost-effective way while never compromising quality.

~ Marlene McPherson

Chris and team had to fix a problem with the initial construction in my home that was causing degradation due to water. The team were highly professional, and most importantly, knowledgeable and honest with us the whole time.

~ Marc

We’ve worked with C&A Construction to both correct deficiencies created by the builder as well as renovate/enhance existing spaces to our liking. In both cases, Chris and his team have been professional, reliable, and upfront about cost and options (what is and what isn’t possible, advisable, etc.) It can be challenging to find a contractor that you trust to complete a job correctly and completely, so we are very happy that we can rely on Chris. His experience and honesty means that we don’t have to worry or micromanage regardless of the size of the job.

~ Amy

As of today, all the work on the patio is complete. We could not be more pleased! The design and engineering work done by Landmark was terrific as the work done by Chris, his Crew and his Subcontractors @ C & A Construction Group Inc. Everything was first rate!!

~ Jim Richardson and Hortensia Morell

I called executive 1 because of mold behind the refrigerator they found a leak in the water supply line to the fridge .they set containments and removed all the mold then passed a mold test after they were done with the work .very fast and very helpful on guiding us through this process I highly recommend this company !!

~ Gerardo

~ Maggie Hernandez

~ Alyssa Dursn

Excellent service and responsive. Dallas And Josh were very accommodating in meeting with me in a timely matter and walking the property prior to the projects start date. The end was better than expected. DW Excavation went above and beyond to complete my project on budget along with leaving my property cleaner then before, highly recommend!

~ Ezel

Fast, friendly and got the job done on time and on budget.

~ Richard

We highly recommend DW Excavation! William did an excellent job clearing our 18 acres of old vineyard when no-one else wanted to. They went above and beyond with the grading and ditch clearing. Their work changed the whole look of the property and allowed it to drain properly. Our property looks incredible and they are honest and hard working!

~ Megan

From the beginning of the project to completion, the Paradigm crew remained professional, demonstrated immense integrity, and truly cared about our project. If you're looking for a local company that's personally invested and cares about their clients, give Paradigm a call. You won't be disappointed!

~ Rich and Christine Loudermilk - Buckhorn BBQ, Modesto

Paradigm has proven, with every project, to be a reliable and knowledgeable partner that can adapt to our needs and deliver great results on schedule. On every occasion, they found the best solution for the price.

~ Doug Van Diepen, Del Monte Foods

I cannot express well enough our thanks and complete satisfaction in hiring Paradigm Construction to do our buildout. The entire team and all their subcontractors are very professional and trustworthy. They get the job done and done well.

~ Linka Schroeder, Board & Brush
