"We had a great experience with Jeff and his crew. He listened closely to what we wanted and he added design flair beyond our vision. He was polite, professional and accommodated our desired schedule. At our first appointment, he sketched a fabulous design in about 15 minutes. We were replacing our deck and Jeff worked in concert with our deck builder to get both jobs done in a well orchestrated manner, all within a few weeks of our first meeting. We love his work so much we had him back to add another stone path. Our neighbors have admired the new landscaping and I highly recommend Custom Stonescaping to anyone."

"Excellent work. We didn't imagine that the work we had performed would turn out with such a great result. We told Jeff what we wanted and he took it to another level. I would recommend Stonescaping LLC and would use them again. We are very satisfied with the work performed. Jeff was on time for his appointment, responsive, courteous to our requests."

They showed up on time and did what they said they would do at the price originally quoted. We highly recommend them if you want an outstanding job at a fair price! "

Work Completed Date: April 06, 2010
Hire Again: Yes
Approximate Cost: $8,200.00
Description Of Work: Expand existing patio and plant trees.
Member Comments:
Jeff and his crew had removed a deck and constructed a natural stone patio, including a dry riverbed, last summer (2009). During one of the snowstorms last winter, we suffered damage (necessitating removal) to a row of 40' Leyland Cypress trees that formed a green border along our property line.
We contacted Jeff to replace the Leyland Cypress trees, expand the patio and do some landscaping in our front yard. He was extremely helpful and flexible in accomodating our desires.
His crew arrived exactly as promised and completed the project in an efficient, timely manner. They were very careful to limit any chance of damage to my property.
This was our second use of Custom Stonescaping. Jeff has a true knack for accomodating his design to fit existing constraints. We are challenged by significant runoff through our back yard from thunderstorms. We had gotten estimates from other landscape designers who wanted to solve the drainage issue by installing an elaborate French drain system (huge excavation, multiple drains, $30,000 just for the drainage system). Jeff's solution was a much more elegant design that uses a dry riverbed which solves the drainage issue and very nicely breaks up the patio into two separate spaces connected by a stone bridge.

Description Of Work:
I called Jeff at Custom Stonescaping to assist me with my very boring backyard. Jeff's Custom Landscaping transfrormed both front and back yard into a landscape that my family could entertain in. I get compliments all the time from my neighbors. They are all very envious too. The new backyard incorporated several new flagstone patios, a firepit, bench walls, stepping stone paths, boulders, and retaining walls. The entire yard was tilled and 3,500 sf of new sod was installed. The front yard had a smaller stone wall to match the backyard, with flowers, shrubs and mulch.
Member Comments:
The job was completed in January which made everyday tasks difficult; trying to excavate frozen ground, no water to work with, staying warm, shorter days, and in some cases finding materials. The crew was very professional and I was taken care of and never felt taken advantage of either. The crew worked during snow days too. I found their work ethics courteous and very professional too.
