San Jose Historical Factoid
Throughout the late 1800s and into the first half of the 20th century, San Jose, like the rest of Santa Clara Valley, grew on agriculture, producing orchard fruits, berries, tree nuts, and vegetables, as well as packaging, canning, and shipping it. Northwest San Jose's Alviso area became a packager of food stuffs, with Alviso Mills milling wheat into flour in 1853. In 1906, Sai Yin Chew opened the Bayside Canning Company, which became the third largest cannery in the United States. A family-run business until the 1920s, it canned vegetables such as asparagus and spinach; fruits like plums and apricots; and prepared foods like ketchup, hot sauce, and fish sauce. Farmer Henry Willard Coe in San Jose's Willow Glen area developed a process of drying fruit with sulfur—a boon to the local cherry, apricot, and prune industry by expanding its market beyond the distance fresh fruit could be shipped. The Valley's bounty was famous nationwide, earning it the nickname, "Valley of Heart's Delight."
What San Jose homeowners are saying.
“We first heard of Black Diamond from receiving fliers in our mailbox. When we finally made the decision to renovate our backyard, we contacted them for a consult and from our very first meeting with Jeremy O, we were convinced that he was the one that was going to bring our vision to life. We had a very rough sketch of what we wanted, and Jeremy was able to incorporate it into a beautiful design… We are very happy with the results and the continued service we receive. We host gatherings in our new backyard often and have received many compliments. We hope to be able to remodel our front yard in the future and plan to use Black Diamond again.”
Cherylle M.San Jose, CA“It's been a month since our project was finished and we're still so happy with the result and are planning several get togethers over the holidays to show it off! No water pooling, leveled pavers, beautiful lighting, quality craftsmanship! Michael Leija, our project manager, and Giovanni the foreman were great and easy to work with. From the initial consult to the finished project, I felt comfortable talking to both of them if and when anything came up. We love looking at our backyard now, and our favorite part is the paver lights!”
Jackie T.San Jose, CA“Thank you to Sahar D. and Black Diamond for the flawless work performed at my residence. She was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning all the way until the end. She has a great eye for landscape design. She was polite, respectful, and caring the entire way through. My new landscaping has received countless compliments from the entire neighborhood. It was done perfectly and very cleanly, exactly as I wanted.”
