After interviewing a number of paver companies we decided to contract with Rubio Pavers. Our concrete lanai and pool surround needed remodeling not only for aesthetics but because incorrect grading and an inadequate size drain resulted in flooding after every downpour.

These guys did a terrific job! They had to level our pavers and so they had to lift all the pavers around the pool, add sand and then put all the pavers back down.

Lead foreman Sam Alvarez was on top of my job from first thing in the morning and saw it all the way until the end, even making small on site improvements. The crew worked very hard and cleaned up very well when they were done. Thank you Native Scapes!

Master Z Pavers logoMaster Z Pavers

Master Z Pavers did an amazing job at our house in Cape Coral. Not being from around here I really wasn't sure what to expect. In less than two weeks they had removed our old concrete driveway and installed a new paver driveway and walk and sealed the pavers. It was done professionally , on time and they really cared about our experience.

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
