After everything we’ve been through with our previous contractor, working with this hardscape company has been an absolute breath of fresh air. From day one, they have made us feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their communication is second to none—they respond almost immediately, set up a family group chat to keep everyone informed, and are always available to answer questions. The renderings Gabriel creates are absolutely stunning, incredibly lifelike, and they offer unlimited revisions until everything is exactly right. The quality of their planning and attention to detail is exceptional. Tony immediately scheduled a meeting with the city inspector to build a relationship and ensure every aspect of the project is done correctly and up to code from the very beginning, which gave us tremendous confidence. The job site has been immaculate, the professionalism has been outstanding, and it’s obvious this family-owned business truly takes pride in their work and their clients. We are still early in the project, but based on our experience so far, they have exceeded every expectation. A true 10 out of 10 experience, and we would highly recommend them.

Outstanding. We loved that they were a family business, with a personal touch. Workmanship was excellent, they were always on time, and they stayed in communication throughout the effort. They had a very reasonable price and never came back for more. I’d definitely recommend them!
Top notch work.
DO NOT HIRE RIVERS LANDSCAPE! RIVERS IS NOT A REPUTABLE CONTRACTOR. THEY LIE AND DID A POOR QUALITY JOB THAT HAS LEFT US WITH STRESS AND A BACKYARD THAT IS LITERALLY BREAKING APART. Rivers installed concrete that began to bubble and pop. The popped and damaged concrete has now created craters throughout our backyard. The backyard is filled with more and more craters that have been popping up every year. Rivers gave empty promises that they would replace the concrete, but are now refusing to do it. Workmanship is poor which is evident in the cheap and poor quality materials they used in our backyard.The damage is so bad that it is a safety hazard to our children.
Rivers Landscape Construction caught my eye when they were constructing a patio cover in my neighborhood. They worked each day until complete and did an excellent job. I had a standard lattice patio structure and wanted a Lania, something my wife and I could enjoy as an extension from our home to the outside. I contacted Rivers Landscape for a quote and Gabriel returned my call. He came over and took pictures and listened to what we wanted. He developed a rendered 3d drawing of the design and a quote with all options to choose from. Once we made our decision, he made a schedule. Rivers Landscape crew was friendly and worked each day from demolition to cleanup completing the Lania ahead of schedule. The Lania turned out beautiful. They installed two flush mount heaters in the ceiling and dimming lights that warm the cool evenings here in San Diego. I spoke with other builders and Rivers Landscape was the right choice. I highly recommend you speak with them before making your choice, you won’t be disappointed. I want to say thanks to Gabriel, Gus, Carlos, and the rest of the Rivers Landscape crew, great job. Pictures are before and after.
They do great work
Gus and Tony and their team did a fantastic job on an outside remodel for our beautiful home in Poway CA. Gabrielle was great at drafting a plan and listening to what we wanted and Gus and Tony were spectacular with the bug picture and the details Full project, cement, planters, lighting, irrigation, artificial turf, etc. Everyone would be impressed if they could see how beautiful the outside landscaping and entertaining areas are!
Rivers Landscaping did an outstanding job on our major backyard renovation! Excellent communication, quality of work, and even beat the projected timeline. No concerns, just so pleased with the process and results.
