Get matched with top brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installers in Forest Lake, MN

"This spring we were in search of a company to pour a concrete patio as we were removing our old floating deck. We came across Clark Companies at the White Bear Home Show @ The Hippodrome. They followed up promptly afterwards and set a time to come out for a quote. They answered all our questions and helped us envision what it could look like. They were the only company we had out that actually cared (the others you probably hear advertised all the time). If you're here because you are researching them you can see they do this all the time and they do it well. They gave us many options to choose from for the patio & other items to complete the project (I.e stairs or grass seed). During the installation they were very professional and consulted with us along the way to make sure we were happy before all was said and done. Thank you Clark Companies! We look forward to enjoying our new space for years to come!"

"Gunner has been doing my lawn mowing for 8 or 10 years. He always comes when he says he will and gets the job done. For the first couple of years he used my mower, but then he graduated to a nice zero turn unit of his own. I rely on him and his company for mowing and snow removal now. Problem solved!"

"It went well. It was wonderful to see a family work together like that father and two sons they got along with. They got the job done. I wanted to pitch in and help myself sometimes just because it's something I used to do. I had to force myself to stand back and just let them do their work. I would absolutely hire them again. It was a pleasure to have them out here. I even cooked them a barbecue one day. It was awesome."

"We had a different landscaping company come out and install "flagstone" over our existing limestone path. Not only did they do a horrible job, they also destroyed our drain tile which I had flagged for them and left large ruts in our yard. It took them 6 weeks to come back and "fix" the path and "repair" the drain tile. The path looked even worse than it did before the "fix", I had to run the skid steer because the two guys they sent out did not know how to operate one, and they had to use drain tile I had on site because they didn't bring any. To top it off, when they replaced the drain tile, they didn't use a union on one end, and just set the pipe up next to the old pipe, and for some reason they took the sock off as if they did not understand what it was for! It was a complete nightmare. Enter Lester and his crew. They came out, and even though the stones were not the right material for a flagstone path, they were able to take them all out and reuse them to create a beautiful path. Choosing the right company is so important for any project, and I can confidently say that "In The Rough Stonework & Landscaping" is the right place to hire for any of your stone work or landscaping needs! We will be using them again in the future!"

"It went great‼️ The steps were torn completely out … replaced with pressure-treated lumber. They were reinforced with two extra supports, 2x6 boards were used for handrails to improve functionality. All in all, we have sturdy and great looking back steps! ??"

"Several years ago, a friend of the family had some landscaping done by Living Space Landscapes and recommended them to me. My wife and I worked with them on a full-scale re-design of our back yard after I accidentally killed all our grass by over-fertilizing it. Whoops. Oh well, the backyard needed a lot of work anyway and this provided a good excuse for us to do it right. Scott Solomonson stopped by to discuss the project and listened carefully to our goals for the space and discussed our options. A few weeks later he provided us with a design, including a patio, and after some back and forth we decided to move forward with the project. Now, years later, we still couldn’t be happier. The plantings and trees have all grown in and it looks awesome! That summer and fall, and every spring, summer and fall since, our patio and backyard becomes our second living room. In the fall of 2020, we reached out to Scott again to do some landscaping in our front yard this this time. We wanted to add a sitting space and landscape the surrounding area. This time Megan stopped out to discuss the project, our goals, our budget and the timeline. After a few weeks she came by with the design and after some refinements and tweaks, we agreed to have the work done in the spring of 2021. As agreed, early that spring Scott and his awesome crew stopped by and again and did a great job! That was around 10 months ago now and we are really looking forward to being outside again as we watch another St. Paul, Minnesota winter melt into the Mississippi."

"After seeking a number of bids for our landscape project, we selected Paul because he was timely with his bid, his design showed that he listened to us when we described our goals, he was not reluctant to make adjustments to his plan after we had a chance to review it, his price was very competitive, and he seemed like a nice guy that we could work with and trust. He started the project exactly when he said he would and completed it within the timeframe that he said it would require. When we asked if he could delay transplanting a tree until it went dormant, he was totally fine with this even though I am sure it was much less convenient for him. The results exceeded our expectations, and we’ve gotten many compliments from friends and neighbors. We would not hesitate to hire him again for another project."

"Arabella Stone did excellent work. It is absolutely beautiful! They completely rebuilt sections as needed, and replaced nearly all the mortar on the outside of the house. It is now solid and looks wonderful. They also cleaned up the limestone wall in a bathroom basement. We love how it turned out. We would highly recommend Arabella. It was clear when we met Daniel how much he loves working with stone. He is a true craftsman."

"They were very polite and prompt. They reviewed the work with me both before and after the job. They were very skillful asking me if I had any questions before beginning the work which I appreciated. They did the job very well. The job was a safety issue. My sidewalk is now straight and my steps are safe to go down. Overall it was a job well done. I will recommend them and use them, again."

"We love the work and craftsmanship on our new walkways and stars. Scott and his crew did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend them! "
