Our Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

“Very happy with the work by Ryan and his team. Ryan is easy going and easy to communicate with. He did our pool and yard remodel under some fairly strict budget and timing constraints, both of which he met. We just returned from two weeks in Hawaii and we were very happy to come back to our own little resort.”
Cathy J.Orange, CA
“This company is a great find. Ryan is a very knowledgeable guy. We hired him to do our hot tub. He did a great job. Showed up every day and on time! We later hired him to build us an outdoor kitchen and bar. Came out beyond what we expected. Prices are fair. He has the perfect temperament for this line of work. Always calm and ready to solve anything that comes up. Awesome!”
Plate W.Newport Beach, CA
“We have a home built in 1928 and the mortar between the bricks has been deteriorating along with water seeping in under the foundation of the office by the brick wall. Ryan came in and fixed the leakage problem along with bringing our brick work back to beautiful condition.”
Pam S.Orange, CA
“Around The Castle did a renovation project for our front yard. The project was designed by landscape architect Patrick May. The project included hardscape, landscaping, demo, trees, a courtyard reno and fountain. ATC did a fantastic job bringing the design to life. Ryan and his crew stayed in line with their original estimate and met all schedule commitments throughout. We are completely satisfied with the way the project turned out and the overall experience working with ATC. Highly recommend ATC.”
Chris T.CA
“I am a Preschool Director and was looking to create a safer wall environment for our play yards. Ryan came in with great ideas to add onto some of our exsisting walls/gates. Ryan and his crew were so easy to work with. Very professional, walked me through each part of the project. It turned out better than I imagined. If I could give more stars I would.”
Julie G.San Francisco, CA
Ryan and his team at Around the Castle are literally the best contractors we have ever worked with. They gave us our dream backyard. Around the Castle delivered a perfect detailed backyard.

We are very happy with the work that Around the castle, Inc. completed at our home this past winter. Our very large detailed project (front, back and side yard) was completed within a couple weeks of the target time, which we were very pleased about. The end results of our beautiful landscape are well worth the time and money invested. There was very good communication with the client. Highly skilled Masons, as well as trustworthy employees. Management worked very well with the landscape architects and the design team. We would definitely choose Around the Castle, Inc for any future projects.

Signs You Need a Backyard Redesign

Even beautiful outdoor spaces can eventually feel outdated or underutilized. If your backyard lacks functionality, has worn or mismatched elements, or doesn’t match your current lifestyle, it may be time to consider professional landscape design. Common signs include:

  • Overgrown or poorly maintained landscaping

  • Outdated hardscape features, like cracked patios or old walkways

  • Lack of entertaining or relaxation areas

  • Limited privacy or inefficient use of space

Hiring an expert to redesign your backyard ensures that every element is intentional and harmonizes with the natural surroundings. Around the Castle can create a space that’s practical, beautiful, and perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a long day.
