We had an existing patio, tiles laid on a concrete slab, removed and replaced with pavers. Before and during the work, Juan provided thoughtful and experienced guidance. The excellent work was performed promptly and diligently, with nice attention to detail. All at a fair price. Highly recommended.

Very happy with the work and how my outdoor kitchen turned out. Like many other outdoor companies, it is a very busy time. I called Juan after being blown off from a couple other companies and he responded right away. Originally we got everything handled through email, text and a couple phone calls and Juan came out to make sure all the measurements and layout looked good before starting. Even after all was measured, Juan was patient with us as we changed things to accommodate (and then we changed our mind on it) our pizza oven. We decided to get a cart for the pizza oven instead of having it stationary

I'm giving this guy one star. I had an appointment to meet him at my rental house for him to give me a bid and he flaked. After sitting there for 15 minutes I called him and he apologized and asked if we could meet later I made a new appointment for him to come 3 hours later then he flakes again. How can I trust someone like this to do a big job in my backyard if they can't even make it to two appointments in one day.

Outertainment did an amazing job on our backyard! They installed travertine pavers around our new pool, new cement, pergola, bbq island, gas fire pit, low voltage lighting, pool equip fencing and basketball court.
Juan was extremely helpful in working with the city on permit approval. We had to make a few changes and he helped give us alternative ideas. Juan's team was excellent! They were hard working, friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend using Outertainment.
