  I decided I wanted to renovate my backyard space as I had all these plants that were overgrown and I could barely be out there for more than 5 minutes at a time. The first part of the project was a pergola installation and then I wanted to cover the rest of the backyard with artificial grass and a walkway of stepping stones. I spoke with a handful of contracting companies that ranged from general outdoor contractors to places that focused primarily on turf installation. Paulino from Designs and Creations was actually the first person I got a consultation from, but his quiet confidence mixed with a very kind personality and extensive knowledge and experience with landscaping made me keep coming back to him while I was deciding who to hire. Something I learned in this process is that there are so many ways the same outdoor project can be accomplished and some companies that work with astroturf have a very limited scope focused primarily on the artificial grass and then require the client to go to someone else for hardscaping, as an example. Paulino does it all. I was really impressed with the pictures I saw on his website as they showed that they get involved in transforming the entire space in a unique way with a great aesthetic. While I was deciding between Paulino and one other company, he said to me that even though the method may be a little different, in the end he would give me what I wanted and that's what made my decision. After I agreed to move ahead with Paulino his hard work and dedication really showed. He worked full days and he finished the whole job within a span of two weeks. His communication was excellent throughout and when any issue came up, he always had the perfect solution. I am definitely going to have more work done by Paulino because his unique vision combined with how hard he works can't give anything other than your desired result completed better than you even imagined it could. I strongly recommend Designs & Creations to anyone that wants to transform their outdoor space into something special.

  We had a square plot of dirt and old bricks in our front yard. Paulino did a meticulous job matching our existing bluestone, demoing and replacing the front foundation area, and ensuring a perfect pitch for drainage. He is an expert in his trade, very professional, and detail oriented. Excellent communication along each step of the project. We highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again for our backyard landscaping overhaul.

  Paulino is did an awesome job designing and installing a garden in our front yard. He worked with us on the design of the garden, listening to our ideas and making suggestions and ultimately creating a great design. He worked efficiently and was always quick to respond and communicate any issues. It was a pleasure working with Paulino and we're very happy our new garden. I can't recommend him highly enough!

  Paulino is very professional with his work. He shows up on time and continues until it is done. He makes sure to clean up after at the end of the day. He also checks in when there is a decision to be made. I am very thankful for his work and diligence in completing our project.

  Paulino painted the outside of my house this weekend. He did a beautiful job! First of all, he was so responsive with my inquiries, came over the very next day to assess and the same night I had a quote. He was up front letting me know he couldn’t do this work for several weeks however, he knew I was planning a party and made his schedule available and came that weekend to do the work! He was on time, neat, thorough and so very professional. I have lots more that needs to be done and Paulino will be my first choice. I HIGHLY recommend him
