Retaining wall · Drainage
Gary and his guys not only built a retaining wall in my backyard for drainage issues; but also put in linear drainage in the front yard and completely down the side yard. They were efficient, hard working and totally committed to getting a good result. They were a joy to work with.

Patio extension · Step
We recently bought a place that has a stone patio on part of the front of the house. We wanted to do an extension to that & add a step to the side. Not only did Gary & his crew get us scheduled earlier than they originally thought, but got the project done in one day! The crew was hard working & very pleasant. They did an awesome job. Highly recommend.

Regrading · Fire pit · Walkway
Gary helped us completely redesign our backyard. We had a backyard that was an eyesore and he upgraded it by regrading the entire area for better drainage, putting in a large firepit, stone paver walkway, retaining wall, and a small putting green. He definitely has an eye for creativity and always had new ideas for different things we could do to enhance the area. He was always on top of things and was a pleasure to work with.
