"I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to level my home, expecting a professional job with clear communication, but the entire experience has been incredibly disappointing and costly. From the start, I hired the company to level the floors in my home, specifically to address a nearly 3-inch dip in my kitchen area, a 13x10 room. Yet after they “completed the job,” I still have a 1.5-inch dip in the center of the kitchen, and a corner of my home/kitchen that sits half an inch higher than it should be (above 0%), creating a full inch rise from the living room to the kitchen. Now they’re saying that leveling the kitchen wasn’t included in the original scope, blaming the remaining dip on my kitchen island and fridge being “too heavy” and lacking proper support—an issue they failed to identify in the initial assessment. To properly address this problem, they’re now asking for an additional $7,500, claiming this work was never part of the original job. This feels like a classic bait-and-switch tactic, and I can’t help but feel taken advantage of. To make matters worse, I discovered that they used an uncalibrated machine during the initial leveling when installing, which raised my house over an inch more than necessary, causing significant damage that wasn’t there before. Partway through the lift, they even asked me to sign a waiver to get my house closer to 0% level, effectively absolving them of any damage caused. The technician stopped mid-lift to show me the damage that was already occurring and warned that more would likely follow if we continued. I agreed to proceed, trusting their assurances and assuming their equipment was properly calibrated. I even pointed out to the technician at the time that it did not look level, and he assured me the machine was correct. Now, they refuse to take any responsibility for the resulting damage, dismissing it as “standard” and providing terms within the contract absolving them—despite them overcorrecting the home. There were also repeated measurement discrepancies, with reports showing one reading and verbal statements/emails suggesting different levels. When I sought clarification, I received vague responses and empty apologies. After all this, and nearly $30,000 invested, my floor remains unleveled. The only resolution TerraFirma Foundation Systems has offered is for me to pay additional money to level the kitchen and to wait for the overcorrected area to “settle naturally”—a process that, according to their technician, could take anywhere from two months to ten years. I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to fully level my home, not to leave me with an incomplete job, inconsistent results, and vague promises. If you’re considering foundation work, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere—this company has left me with extensive damage, unexpected costs, and a significant amount of frustration."

"Perfect work showed up on time finished in 1 day. Turned out perfect."

"Ruben and primary assistant were excellent to work with. Understood our new proposed design and added some good additional touches. All removal and prep were well done. Finishing crew was excellent. Ruben is very personable and communicates quickly on all issues."

"Timely and clear communication to completion of project. The concrete patio turned out great!"

"I had a persistent drainage issue in one corner of my flower bed—flooding so bad I assumed a sprinkler pipe had burst. Dave and his crew came out, dug up the area at no charge, and confirmed that wasn’t the case. He took the time to properly investigate and diagnose the issue, then installed a French Drain that completely resolved the problem. As always, the work was done expertly, efficiently, and to the highest standard. This is exactly why I’ve trusted Dave with my landscaping for the past 7 years. He treats every project like it’s his own home—always recommending what’s actually needed, never upselling or cutting corners. In an industry where it’s easy to exploit customers’ lack of technical knowledge, Dave is the rare pro who builds trust by consistently doing the right thing. We’re long past the point of me asking for bids or details—he tells me what should be done, and I give the green light, knowing it will be done right. SIX STARS!"

"We hired Western Paver Design to redo our backyard. I was referred them by two different people in my neighborhood. I obtained multiple estimates but decided to go with WPD based on the personal recommendations as well as Joe being so friendly and knowledgeable during the estimate. He answered all of my questions, provided his expertise and input on what would work or not, and gave a fair and competitive price. Joe created a wonderful plan for our backyard based on what we wanted. He took our “wants” and ran with it. Darwin led his team with Marteen and Modesto to complete the plan and make our backyard our dream backyard. They were incredible to work with. They came and removed all of the sod that was already there. (It was installed incorrectly and looked terrible) the raised the backyard and leveled it all out and built a retaining wall around the whole yard. They installed a large paver patio (roughly 13x18) and then next to that a large turf are, about the same size. Along the house they built a small deck area to be level with the turf and against the house. This was nice so there was no large drop off area, being a hazard for the kids. On the other side of the retaining wall they built me two large raised garden beds As well. I cannot rave enough about Darwin, Marteen, and Modesto, and Joe! They were a pleasure to work with! They were professional and friendly and worked so hard each day they were here. They transformed our yard into exactly what we wanted-a large area for entertaining and BBQing, a nice turf area for the kids, and garden beds for me to grow vegetables! The end result is everything we could have imagined!"

"Liberty did a great job from getting a quote to performing the work!! As soon as I requested a quote online, Joe called to arrange a time to come look. Quote was put together and received within days. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted our driveway and entry way to look like but I wasn’t 100% sure, Jody was super helpful on offering suggestions and helping finalize the plan. Once on-site they did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier with the finish product. We get so many compliments from neighbors who have lived in our neighborhood for years on what a difference the driveway and walkway has made and the curb appeal it has brought to the front of our home..I have been in construction for over 20 yrs and I would highly recommend Liberty concrete. I will be using them on my backyard project here soon!!"
