"EXCELLENT choice and highly recommend. Max and his team did exactly what we needed, they were easy to work with and attention to detail was second to none. He really knows his craft well and truly cares about achieving a high-quality finished product."

"They arrived on time and were very efficient"

"Very well. Due to weather conditions, there were a few setbacks, but the final project - I am more than pleased. It is so much nicer than I had pictured. They really know what they are doing, and Mitch is on the site every day to supervise to make sure it is getting done correctly. I could not be happier with Mitch Cousino's - I will use them again and recommend them to friends and family."

"<p>I cannot give Tom's jobs high enough praise. He was always there when he said he would be, and his employees were always very courteous and helpful with questions. We moved to the area early 2013 and had no idea who to use. Tom came out and gave us an estimate for the yard work, and never deviated from that price.</p> <p>When we decided to do some landscaping, we not only got a bid from Tom but also from another provider. Tom came in lower and delivered a product that my husband and I love. Our backyard looks so much better. His employees always cleaned up when they were finished and answered any questions we had. When they accidentally clipped our cable, his employees quickly contacted Tom, and he remedied the issue faster than the cable provider even thought of doing. I truly appreciate a company who has no issues with saying they made a mistake and then, without making any excuses, does everything in their power to correct the issue. </p> <p>Although we are going to start doing our yard work, Tom's will continue to be the company we go to for any additional work that needs to be completed.</p> <br />"

"There were positives and negatives in my experience with Slink's Masonry. <br /> Scheduling was a problem. When I first contacted Gary in May of last year, he was very up front that he was currently busy, but thought that he could look at the project in about six weeks or so. I was willing to wait, but after that, it was one slip after another, first just getting an estimate and then starting the work. The project was not underway until the beginning of October. The project was estimated at six weeks but ran closer to eight including some worked weekends, finishing up in late November on the cusp of bad weather. <br /> The other issue was project planning. Regardless of who's doing the work, I would simply not do another project like this without a more thorough project plan in the contract, including fairly detailed sketches with measurements. There was no contract beyond signing the estimate, which had a more general description of the work. This impacted most on the front steps, where both the riser height (8") and width (31") of the steps from the driveway to the landing don't match the riser heights (5 1/2") and widths (36") of the steps from the landing to the front porch. I don't know why the riser heights were done differently - they were all the same in the wood steps he was replacing, but after the molds were built (still prior to pouring the concrete), Gary gave me heavy resistance to changing it. The widths are off because he didn't take into account the depth of the stone veneer on the retaining walls to either side of the lower steps which extends into the step. Project planning was also an issue where the stone interfaced with other materials. The vinyl siding I had put in didn't terminate the way Gary wanted it - and while Gary will say the siding installer should have known better (quite possibly true), coordination would have been easier on my end if this was specifically spelled out in the contract. This was fixed by the siding installer at my expense. The Garage doors were replaced prior to Gary's work with new trim/weatherstripping installed, because he was going to stone up right up to the trim. When the wood beneath the trim had to be removed, the trim was destroyed and had to replaced, again at my expense. There was a tree blocking his access to the chimney which was taken down, which should also have been in the contract. He was unwilling to remove the stump. The height of the patio was higher than we discussed, so I had to have 10 cubic yards of dirt brought in to bring the level of the backyard up to meet it. Starting this Spring, the driveway (asphalt) has buckled all along the length of the retaining wall, because the driveway was hollowed out underneath when they dug the footer. I will have to have this tended to before this Winter. I think at least some of these issues/expenses could have been mitigated with better planning and a more detailed contract. <br /> Despite all of that, there were positives too. Gary is very meticulous and conscientious working with the stone itself. I'm very happy with the fit of the cultured stone install on the house and the flagstone on the back patio - it looks beautiful. I believe that what he has built is very solid construction that should hold up over the long haul. When he was building the retaining wall, the level was out on each block as he tapped it level. There's rebar in the concrete of both the back patio and front porch anchored into the house. He discovered into the project that there was not adequate support in the existing wood framed chimney to hold the weight of the stone, which I appreciate him bringing to my attention so it could be addressed. Gary will take input and is generally easy to work with, so long as you discuss things in advance before he's into the task. Just initiate communication early and often to make sure you're on the same page. <br />"

"These guys are great. They are prompt, thorough, and do a beautiful job. They will help you design your landscaping to fit your needs and style. Very approachable and helpful. They cost a little more, but do a better job. Other companies did not do edging or same amount of detail that they do. We have used them many times, have never been disappointed. <br />"

"Good quality service, always performed without requesting, professional and affordable as company name says."

"Very well and it's beautiful. Many many flowering plants as I requested and the crew did a great job of installing and trimming and clean up"

"Great job. Would highly recommend."

"Randy Weldishofer is fantastic to work with!  The marble pavers that he uses are a wonderful product.  The pavers are an actual stone of travertine or marble instead of a concrete product. Randy is very punctual, very nice, and very skilled.  I am very happy with the look and durability of the pavers and I really appreciate  the effort that Randy put into my job.  These pavers make the look of my house much better than any of my neighbors! <br />"
