Cathy Strahan created a beautiful oasis for my backyard patio. She helped me decide on type and color of the pavers and boarders. That process is much more difficult than I imagined! She is well educated and knowledgeable in her field. Even though I was a little nervous during process, she helped me through. She always answers texts quickly; therefore I never felt like I was just left hanging. The team she had to do the tear out and install were amazing. They had great attention to the smallest details. They never rushed the job and it turned out beautiful. I give Cathy and her team 10 stars ! ⭐️

I wanted a paver patio to replace our rotten 350 sq. ft deck and walkway and checking Yelp reviews came upon GMC Pavers and Landscape. I feel very fortunate that I did. I contacted them around July 10 and now on July 30 I have a perfectly executed and beautiful raised patio for a very reasonable price from a completely painless process. Janaii, the very personable and knowledgeable project manager led us through the choices and specifics while her uncles-the owner and builder executed the work perfectly. All the workers were diligent, respectful and easy to have around. They worked when they said they would, finished as promised and left a beautifully cleaned up project site. I can't say enough nice things about this team, and will call them first for my next project.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with this landscaper twice now, and both times they’ve done a fantastic job! They trimmed our palm trees, put in new rock, and removed the old dead grass. Their attention to detail and professionalism truly stand out. Highly recommend their services!

Cathy Strahan and Gerardo Martinez transformed our outdoor living space. I first worked with Cathy in 2018. She designed a private courtyard for us. I asked her to Feng shui the space. Our front yard became functional and secure in the most beautiful way. I called her again in 2024 to tackle our backyard- an area sloped toward the Lafayette Creek that touches our property line. It was a muddy mess back there and we never used it. We needed drainage and levels and stairs and lights. Cathy designed all that plus a sitting area, dining area, bbq space, ice tub area, hideaway storage and stylish fencing. Because she and Gerardo work seamlessly together all the unforeseen issues that naturally arise were handled elegantly without straying from the design or budget. The mix of materials, rocks and pavers, wood and metal, are stunning. She chose paver colors that pop without overpowering the natural beauty of a creekside backyard. Gerardo and his family are talented woodworkers too. They extended my deck and built wood walls and fences. They worked through January and February. By end of year a wall had moved. Gerardo came back to fix it. He went above and beyond, replaced a post, built a new gate, at his own expense. He adjusted pavers where he saw puddles. A year later and it still looks brand new. I can’t overstate the impact Cathy Strahan has made on the tranquility of my home. Thank you Cathy, Gerardo and GMC! You provide an extraordinary level of excellence and customer service that is unheard of in 2025.

If you're looking for a backyard re-do, GMC is most definitely your go-to landscaping company.Working with Cathy for our design, and then with Geraldo and his team for the physical work, was a joy from start to finish. We had a couple fairly significant changes mid-project and they were professional and accommodating throughout the entire job. Highly recommend.

I found Cathy and Gerardo at GMC by sheer luck after asking a neighbor who did their beautiful landscaping. Long story, but so glad I did. Cathy is an extraordinary designer for varied tastes and needs. She asked what I wanted, she provided me with ideas and plans, and Ta Da!! They had an opening in their schedule and did the job in one week. Cathy was the main contact, and came to the job site daily to ensure I was happy, and Gerardo and his crew were also super professional. They run a tight ship, never a wasted moment, product arrived as needed like clockwork, everyone knew what they needed to do and did it very well. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. They will be getting a call next year when I do my front yard. I'd give10 stars if I could!

We highly recommend GMC Pavers & Landscape Inc. Our contact person was Cathy and she was outstanding. From the start, she helped us with the design of our Front drought friendly landscape project. She followed us through until the end of our project. Cathy was very knowledgeable in her plants and pavers knowledge. She walked us through every step of the design process. She was accessible by email or phone and always responded in a timely manner. The owner and employees ( family members) were outstanding workers. From demolition through delivery of products through completion of project. Everything was on time and on budget. Was able to communicate with the workers and they answered all our questions during the process. We love our new Front landscape, drought friendly, yard. Thanks to GMC Pavers and Landscape, inc.

Amazing job by these guys! Totally transformed my backyard and not only that but they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They weren’t even planning to plant our trees or plants but they offered anyway and it looks so good! Definitely would recommend them to anyone who needs their yard done. Great customer service, super nice workers and very quick as well!

I recently had a new fence and trees installed in my backyard and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and completed the project in a timely manner. The fence is sturdy and well-built, providing both privacy and security for my property. The trees were also planted with care, adding a beautiful touch of greenery to my outdoor space. I am extremely satisfied with the work done and would highly recommend GMC Pavers and Landscape Inc. to anyone looking to enhance their property with a new fence and trees.

We were selling our house and we needed someone that could quickly fix up our yard and lay down new sod. GMC pavers came out immediately and gave us a very reasonable quote. They met every expectation and beyond, and they got the job done QUICK, but they didn't cut any corners. They definitely exceeded our expectations. Our house looks beautiful and the landscape will definitely be one of the highlights when we list it! We look forward to working with them in the future at our new house.

Wow, what a great team! Designer, Cathy did a fantastic job and had great ideas. She made my back yard look amazing. The crew, headed by Geraldo was fabulous. Right on time every day, very efficient and so dedicated to perfection. I could not be happier with my new back yard. They put in concrete, rocks, sod and a beautiful reading wall. At least that's what I call it. Can't wait for Summer so I can be out there more often. I highly recommend the whole group, from designer Cathy to the five hard working men that came with Geraldo.

GMC Pavers did a great job on our driveway which is quite steep. Cathy suggested a charcoal color paver in a herringbone pattern that perfectly compliments the rest of the landscape. We love it and we've gotten multiple compliments from our neighbors.

I had a wonderful experience with Cathy and the landscapers! Cathy designed two projects for me, front and backyards and without any help from me did a wonderful Job. She brought ideas that I never even thought about that turned out to be wonderful. She also was over often checking on the landscapers to make sure they were doing what she wanted. The landscapers cleaned up after themselves every day which also made it a great experience . I highly recommend Cathy and the crew she worked with.

GMC was outstanding for all the work they did for me. Pavers look beautiful and Cathy and Gerardo are very professional, prompt, and know how to take care of the unexpected details like a pro. This installation met my expectations, and I have some very high expectations that not every contractor can live up to. I am happy to say I received my monies worth, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them on my next project. I would highly recommend their work, and to have Cathy take care of the details. Thanks for a great job!!! A satisfied customer for life, Eric in Pacheco…

This company is like the customer service given at Nordstrom. It was as though Cathy,GMC designer, just did it all. Redoing a front side yard as we did is a pain and all we did was let her do her thing. Picking out plants etc. was a joy since Cathy had a clear vision of what we we're looking for and presented us with a sketch. Three days later like magic we are now the proud owners of the best yard on the block!!!

We'd been planning a make-over of one of our front yards in order to eliminate grass and sprinklers and improve curb appeal. We drove by a GMC Pavers project recently and stopped and asked for a business card. It was Gerardo's crew doing the work, but he recommended Cathy to meet and plan designs. Cathy's suggestions were just what we were looking for, esp. since we had wasted time with some other contractors who ignored us. She created a sketch and listed plants that would coincide just right with the landscaping we had on our other front lawn. We even met her at the wholesale nursery, so she could point out our actual plants. Next came Gerardo's professional crew and they transformed our bleak yard into a gorgeous improvement in just 3 days. Highly recommended~!

Cathy helped us design and spec out our backyard. Gerardo executed her plan on time diligently. What we really liked was their ability to accommodate our needs and their after service care to fix things whenever we find minor flaws or defects. We learned about them through our friend and we are passing on the good words to our neighbors. We recommend them for your paving and all your yard renovation/repair needs.

GMC Pavers did a terrific job on our patio. Our neighbors recommended them. GMC delivered excellent project management, great design, hard work and craftsmanship. We are pleased with the outcome. Above and beyond highlights include: Cathy met with our subcontractors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Gerardo came back to our home to help us with a snaffu late on a saturday afternoon after he and his team had worked a full day. The GMC team was respectful of our home and very tidy.I feel lucky we found GMC.

GMC Pavers did an awesome job on my patio, steps, and flagstones! I reached out to multiple contractors for the job and couldn't be happier that I ended up choosing them. Cathy came out to see my yard right away, had great suggestions, and was super receptive to any and all changes I had in mind during the design stage. Once we agreed upon the final dimensions, stone type, etc, her team was out there the very next Monday. I was super impressed with the work ethic and attention to detail of Gerardo and his team. They were completely finished with the job after a week and everything looks awesome! I'll definitely be using them for future projects. Thanks again!

GMC Pavers really helped us out. All the mortar was cracking between the bricks and aggregate on our front driveway. GMC installed new bricks and mortar, and now the driveway looks brand new. In our backyard, GMC put new sand between our pavers, and that looks great also (no more weeds sprouting up between the stones ). Thank you GMC Pavers!!! You are the best!!! I give them 5 Stars!
