Coastal Creations lists foundation work, patios, walkways, retaining walls, landscape drainage solutions, excavation & site clearing and commercial snow removal among the services on its website, and says it has been in business for 18 years. A 2023 customer said Dom and his team installed drains in time for a foundation contractor to begin before winter, and that Dom was the only one of five local contractors recommended on Google to answer the call and show up. That 2023 customer said Dom and his team then installed a stamped concrete patio. A 2024 customer with a pool built into a hillside said they asked Coastal Creations for stamped concrete, and that the company also did excavation and retaining work on the back side of the pool and hill with local stone and boulders. A 2025 customer said Coastal Creations did a stamped concrete project at their home and that Dominic worked with them so they could get some prep done on their own. A 2022 customer said Dom was flexible with last minute changes on a stamped concrete patio for their backyard pool area. A 2025 customer said Dominic and Kaylee carried out their plans to pave their walkways and that Dominic kept them in the loop on every detail. A 2023 customer said they were happy with how their pool concrete decking came out. A 2023 customer said they had bought three palm trees from Dom and that he stored them over the winter and kept them alive. A 2022 customer said the company handled snow removal for their plaza and was always ahead of schedule. **Strengths:** - Drainage work — a 2024 customer described re-grading and French drains - Drains before winter — a 2023 customer said drains went in before winter - A stamped concrete patio — a 2022 customer said Dom handled last minute changes ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2024 customer said Dom re-graded their lot, installed French drains and connected gutter downspouts to an underground pipe system _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURkX2N5ZEl3EAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x803329918e8f8aa9!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDd_cydIw%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I recently had Dom and his team tackle a significant drainage problem in our yard on multiple sides of our home.
