The Throughstone Group specializes in concrete and patio work here in Santa Barbara, though I'll be honest—there's not much evidence to evaluate yet. They've got a Houzz profile with zero reviews, a Facebook presence, and a website, but no customer feedback has surfaced in the directories I checked. That's not necessarily a red flag for a newer operation or a small outfit that relies on word-of-mouth, but it means you're flying without the usual navigation tools.
What I can tell you: they focus specifically on hardscape—concrete and patios—which suggests they're not trying to be everything to everyone. In our coastal climate, that kind of work demands attention to proper drainage, salt-air-resistant materials, and understanding how our clay soils shift. Whether they've got that local expertise, I can't confirm from the data. If you're considering them for a project, I'd ask for local references directly, verify their contractor's license through CSLB, and get a detailed written estimate that spells out materials and drainage plans. Sometimes the best contractors are too busy working to chase online reviews, but you'll want to do your homework before signing anything.
