M & K Masonry

This one is an easy five stars. Wife, kids, and I moved to a new house in Lake Forest recently that came with a nice dirt lot. The HOA required us to submit landscaping plans within three months of escrow close and complete the landscaping within six months. I was almost at the three month mark and had basically done nothing. I noticed one of my neighbors who moved in a month or so before me was using M&K Masonry, so I gave them a call and talked to Mike — the owner (his son is also a co-​owner). Mike seemed happy I called and offered to come over a few days later to look around and give me an estimate, since he just about had the current job wrapped up.
Mike and I agreed to meet on a Tuesday evening when I got home from work, and I when I got home, I was pleased to see he came early and had already taken a bunch of measurements around the yard. Mike was very friendly and made some good suggestions, which was great because getting my yard landscaped was a first time experience for me. I told him we were on a limited budget and he wasn’t pushy at all. Mike came back a few days later with a detailed drawing and an itemized statement breaking out all of the costs. We agreed to go with Mike and M&K and signed the contract a few days later.
So — I won’t go into any more details — Mike and Matt completed the landscaping yesterday and everything looks great. I’ll just say that they finished my job faster than a couple of my neighbors using a different company, even though my neighbors started a month or so before I did. Check out my before and after pictures! Mike and Matt were consistently friendly and treated me like a valued customer — not like they were doing me a favor. Thanks Mike and Matt — we love our yard!

Don’t bother with these guys — I waited over 2 weeks for a quote and all I got was a 15 line text saying he needed more time to type it up. What a waste of my time!
