Get matched with top interlocking pavers for driveways & floors installers in Lakeland, MN

"Simply put. They made our project simple and straight forward. We wanted a small retaining wall and some plants put in. They provided in depth descriptions on how the process would go and provided service beyond our expectation."

"We had a crumbling retaining wall for years. We found out our neighbor was replacing her driveway while we were getting quotes and Jamin came through with a competitive quote right away and he was able to schedule our replacement quickly. His team began work the next day and in several days we had a beautiful wall, skillfully installed with respect to our neighbors and us throughout the installation. No questions were left unanswered and we had no surprises along the wall. Now we have an awesome looking wall that will last for years. Thanks Jamin and team."

"I'm long overdue to write this review, but we hired King Scapes last summer to complete an extensive project to replace a rotten timber retaining wall, replace it with stone, and build a new stone patio with fire pit in our back yard. Even before that, we had met with Don to discuss our broader vision for our yard and he created a three-phase plan (this was phase two) that we could complete as it made logistic and financial sense for us. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism and the quality of work that was completed. They always kept us up to date on what was happening and asked us whenever a decision needed to be made. This ensured we were happy with the finished product. The project was burdened by lousy weather, and they never complained nor did they cut corners to get the job done faster. The work wasn't cheap but that's the nature of the project we embarked upon. We just wanted it done right. I would highly recommend King Scapes."

"My job was actually to have a stamped concrete patio installed. Overall, they did an awesome job! They were able to complete the job about a week prior to what they'd estimated, they arrived when they said they would, and completed the job within the time they said. They were very careful about placing plastic on the driveway and took care in ensuring they did as a little invasion to the area as possible. They were professional, friendly and easy to work with, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE IT! Every time I walk out and see it I love it more! Their customer service prior and subsequent to the job has been excellent. I'd recommend Custom Construction Services to anyone looking to have a patio installed."

"My wife and I are retired, and we wanted to spend more time outside enjoying our large backyard that has a beautiful woods starting at the back edge of our yard. The tiny patio and the old landscaping were and quot;drearyand quot; and needed some punch to enhance the area, and make it possible to entertain more than six people at one time. <br /> We got some landscaper recommendations from a few neighbors, Angie's List and Gerten's Nursery. We had three companies look at our situation and make suggestions and give us a bid. The first guy listened to what we wanted, but never made any suggestions of his own and wanted $1200.00 to draw up a plan. The second man had a lot of general ideas, showed us some architectual drawings of some of his projects. His projects were very formal and quite expensive. We wanted something more casual that blended in with the hills and wooded area behind our house. The owner was very nice and had great plans, but he too wanted a large up front deposit before he would draw up a plan. The third landscaper was Scott Solomonson, owner and operator of Living Space Landscapes. Again, we described the general theme and our needs for this project. Scott seemed to catch on very quickly on what our needs were and he offered numerous ideas. He said he would draw up a general plan that we could discuss, modify and shape up what the project would look like. He didn't want any deposit until he started the project, if we decided to go with him. He said he would call us and bring over a drawing and proposal in a few days. <br /> After he left, my wife and I figured the we would probably be going with him unless his plan wasn't close to what we wanted , and/or was too expensive. We just had a good feeling about him. He seemed like someone we could trust and be comfortable with. Two days later, he came back with a plan that was exactly what we wanted and would have drawn up ourselves if we had the skill and knowledge. His price was right, so we put him to work. <br /> Scott has two permanent employees, two specialists that he works with on placing the large rocks, a patio specialist, Jim Timm, and a couple of college kids in the summer who do a lot of the grunt work. Scoot works as hard as his crew and has a real nice rapport with the team. Everyone worked really hard, put in long days, and was a perfectionist. Of course, they were working during the hot spell we have just endured. There was only one day when they stopped at about noon, because it was just unbearably hot and dangerous. <br /> Every last detail that Scott had in our plan was exactly what we wanted. He DID NOT put in the smallest or cheapest plantings he could find! We had not written into the contract the specific sizes of the plantings, but Scott said they would be generous sizes and anything we didn't like, he would change. He is a true artist and just had an eye for what would look good. Absolutely everything was better than expected, and the finished project exceeded our greatest expectations. <br /> We are so incredibly pleased with the final product! Working with Scott was such a pleasure. He is just a really nice person and delivered more than we could have envisioned. We definitely made the right choice. He was one of the recommended landscapers that Gerten's had given us, and most everything came from them. Of course we had to buy new patio furniture, since our old stuff looked pretty ratty in the new Garden of Eden setting. <br /> <br />"

"<p>We had previously worked with Chris and his crew on replacement of a failing timber retaining wall with a contoured block version. That earlier work involved demolition and removal of treated posts and lumber while extending a pre-existing section using an Anchor block product. The segmented, angular wall was replaced by a contoured design that provided more room for a prized shade tree. During this initial, 2012 phase, we found Chris very easy to work with. He was receptive to our concepts and offered constructive comments- we didn't want a deferential contractor that would let us make bad choices. Chris speaks up in a respectful way. The crew happily worked with street pavers that were on-site. <br /> That earlier work turned out so nicely that we resolved to continue the project the in 2013 as our vision for completion firmed up. There are obvious advantages to completing the entire job at once, but even using design software, it is difficult to feature how it will all turn out. Change orders and call-backs are no fun for anyone. For us, it worked to live with an incomplete project for a few seasons to really know what we wanted.<br />  <br /> The 2013 work would involve constructing low planters in both the front and back yards, extending the patio work in the back yard, adding edgers and completing sod work. Chris returned with the same crew (a plus for us) and was rarely not on site himself during either project. This work was complicated by an impending family reunion. To avoid damaging existing landscaping, most of this second phase was completed with wheelbarrows and hand tools.  Once again, there were design and material selection considerations as well as technical issues, including rainwater management.  There was no objection to the owners contributing labor. In turn, we tried to stay ahead of the crew or out of the way.</p> <br /> The entire project is now complete- we are delighted and have received nothing but compliments. <br /> <br />"

"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!"

"Perfect job! The sidewalk was cracked and had ridges you could stumble over. They leveled it perfectly. I highly recommend them."

"Excellent job from beginning to end. The quote was very reasonable. The workers arrived at 8 am and completed the entire roof replacement by 5 pm and cleaned up immaculately. The project manager was easy to contact and work with. He responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. The company was referred to us by two of our neighbors and we are delighted with Northrup's work! We would hire them again, no questions asked."

"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! "
