What can I say? Oscar Ramirez, owner of Michapa Design LLC, is a wonderful contractor with whom to work. He responded within 3 minutes, expressing a desire to learn more of my project and offering a phone number to call. I called so we could arrange for a rapid meeting and I let him know of the previous disappointments I had experienced with several other contractors (one kept me waiting for 3 MONTHS without even a quote and we lost the time to plant this fall).
When Oscar arrived, I showed him the property, we spoke in detail of what I needed, he asked questions, and he gave me a verbal quote on the spot, which I immediately accepted, as it was all inclusive, lower in price but very much in line with other estimates received (not so low as to be unbelievable, yet extremely reasonable). There was a small delay getting started, but once scheduled, he and his crew(s) arrived on time and jumped right in tearing down an old porch, a rotting, wood pole knee wall, and dismantling an unused bird bath/pond, then reconstructing the porch – it’s GORGEOUS!!
They arrived when promised each of the following 3 days and restored the look of my property while doing some backbreaking work for me re-grading the land to fix drainage issues, installing some fill dirt, topsoil, LOADS of mulch and planting the 4 little trees I purchased (I know just how hard this project is because between 25-30 years ago, I alone created all the gardens, 3 planting beds, brought builder-installed sod to golf-course beauty, and installed more than 12 trees and many other plants on property with a 40 degree slope – yikes!). I introduced Oscar to the Edge Right metal edging system, which I purchased and they installed. I believe he may be a convert. LOL
Over time, a few things changed and I requested some extra tasks, for each of which I offered to pay. Everyone was friendly, respectful, would not let me help with even minor things, and treated me as if I were their own granny – lovely people.
We still have a couple of minor things to finish up with, depending on delivery of previously negotiated items and Spring for the plantings, but Oscar will come back to finish them as soon as I call.
I am SO glad I chose Michapa Design LLC and I very highly recommend this company, Oscar and all his crew for whatever you need.

Fast reply. Needed ground leveling for pool. He literally came that same day and did it! I never expected to have been able to get this done so quickly! Did a great job. Very knowledgeable. Asked all the right questions you'd expect from any professional, so he is totally legit. I know there's always a worry about honesty and scams when looking for contractors, so it was a wonderful relief connecting with him.

I recently had a brick patio installed by Michapa Services, and I could not be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Oscar’s communication was excellent throughout the project — he was responsive and always willing to answer questions or provide updates.
What really stood out was the combination of transparent, fair pricing and high-quality workmanship. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and the finished patio exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and overall craftsmanship completely transformed my backyard.
If you’re looking for a company that is reliable, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and delivers beautiful results, I highly recommend Michapa Services. I would absolutely use them again for future projects!

Company went above expectations on my project. Excavated approx. 26 post holes to specified depth/width. Handled the layout and spacing as requested. Extra effort to remove a tree and cut into a stump that was blocking the fence line. This is a company who wants to make their customers happy, and they did in this case.
