In the end I actually ended up going with California Landscape Studios.

How did you like Studio H?  I've heard good things.

I am aware of the additional costs and not concerned.

For me it's not about ROI, it's about having a backyard where I want to spend time and my son and his friends can come over hang out, swim, and have fun.

Land Creative, landscape architects designed Alta Vista yards, they do a lot of Toll Brothers model homes Splash Pools did the construction

Tired of using the Irvine community pools, where people invite their 60 member extended family and take over the entire area, BBQ, and leave trash and bones everywhere. I will use the pool a lot and the hot tub everyday.

Thanks for responding, you were the only one.  I met with Irvine Pacific today and they were awesome.  They said they are going to get their structural engineer involved, get it resolved, fixed properly, and give me documentation outlining everything done and signed off by the engineer.  I am...

Did my pre dry wall walk through yesterday and noticed this on one side of the house.  Is this normal?  Does this look like a serious problem?  Just cosmetic or cracked foundation?  I am meeting with the supervisor tomorrow to check out again and discuss. Sorry if I didn't load or size pic...
