Get matched with top interlocking pavers for patios, walks & steps installers in Santiago, MN

"I think they are wonderful. They are fast and the quality of work is great! I would definitely hire them again a recommend them to other. My only complaint was that I'm experiencing some heaving on the paved walkway. It started about 6 months after the install, but I have not yet contacted Better Yards to see about a repair. I'm sure they will be able to help me, since they were so nice during the install. If you hire these folks, you will NOT be disappointed."

"Pros: Decent work (some good, some bad) Cons: Poor communication, doesn't fix issues (per contract), a number of poor installations, lack of customer service, etc, etc Hired to install front patio, retaining wall, landscaping. I should have known based on the first meeting after signing contract that we would be a second thought (despite spending +$100k)...initial meeting to pick bricks and stone, the lady was confused with who we were as she shuffled through her many layouts for other customers ("sorry, we just have so many"). Was told initially work would start once ground was ready - started a month later due to them having to 'take care of previous year work'. That's fine, just tell us during the winter so we can plan our interior house remodel accordingly. Just got a note one day out of the blue saying that work will start that day despite numerous calls prior trying to get a start date with limited feedback. After working for a few weeks, just stopped showing up for a few weeks. Because they had torn up the front door entrance, it was kind of a big deal to us. Only after a number of emails did we get a note explaining that they were waiting on a permit for the retaining wall. In the meantime, they would not have a crew work on our entrance until they could work on the retaining wall at the same time so as to 'maximize crew efficiency'. Thanks, I'm glad someone else is getting their work done while we (and now our interior contractors, because you started late) have to go in a different entrance because you couldn't get your permitting done correctly. When work finally was resumed, there were issues that became evident. They ripped through a big root on the main locust tree in our yard (how do you miss that?), threatening its survival. They installed a bench against one of our walls without our approval, despite it not being in the plans! We go away a couple days and come back to an unplanned bench. Only because it worked for the space did we accept, but what if we didn't?? There must have been a drop dead date for the job, because all of a sudden one day there were a whole group of workers on the site trying to get it done in a day. When cramming it all in a day, the quality was lost. Hopefully you can tell from the pictures where the patio seems to not be graded right, so water just sits on the patio; downspouts they installed were installed improperly and fall off all the time (and leaves get caught in all the time - what kind of dumb design are the drains?); electrical wires aren't buried correctly and are sitting above the ground us to trip on or animals to chew on; electrical tape on downspouts, etc. Communication was horrible. Only time they would be proactive in reaching out was the day after they issued their invoice asking for payment (sometimes before the work was even completed). We paid promptly each payment, but you wouldn't think so with the emails/calls we received (we won't pay final payment until job is done!). Received zero updates/feedback on a daily or weekly basis from the site foreman, so no idea where the project stood more than what we could see. I believe there was a language barrier. Once job was finished, took them until following year to fix steps that were installed poorly and broke - I'm guessing only due to our constant request for status. They put a 1 year warranty on plants, but when a few of the plants died and requested replacements, they never returned communication despite multiple attempts. Way to do the right thing...they got their money, why would they want to uphold their contractual responsibilities. Leaving overall C grade because a good portion of the work was done well - the retaining wall, facing on the wall, back patio. Left such a poor taste in our mouth with the terrible customer service (communication, follow-through) that it offset any goodness associated with the work. We got the impression that unless you are a super big project (more than the +$100k we spent) that you will be put at the end of the queue (if at all). Would not recommend."

"I hired Clark Companies for my landscaping needs after they had installed a concrete patio for me. Both jobs exceeded my expectations! The work was done exactly how I requested, in one day by very professional crews who left the job site super clean each time. Iâ ll definitely hire them again for any future landscaping or concrete needs."

"<p>The project took 3 and a half days with 5 to 6 people. First all the edging stones around the gardens were removed. Than the rock was removed, the edging stones were reset, plants planted and mulch added. On the bank in the back yard 3 retaining walls were added behind three large trees which flattened out the area some so as to help with erosion.  We have a patio also in the back yard that had some block around it that need to be reset. Four lime stone steps were added on the short decline from the garage door towards the patio. A flagstone path was added from the steps to the patio. Flagstone were also added around the patio for a more finished look. Finally we had two rain gutter drains put under ground.</p> <p>Everyone was very easy to work with and were meticulous in the work. No mess was left after each day. I have only good things to say about King Scapes and would recommend them to anyone. I didn't comment on the price because I didn't get a second estimate so I don't know how that compares. I just liked Donovan from the start and felt comfortable with him. When he came out to give us an estimate he actually rejected a couple of my ideas as not being worth the cost. He said he'd be happy to do it but if it were him he wouldn't. I like that kind of honesty.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

"I picked Artistic Landscape by reviewing Angie's List for Landscaping providers. I had identified five companies that I was interested in, with Artistic Landscape being my first choice. I ended up only contacting Artistic Landscape.  I was looking for a small company who would be able to provide design work and the installation services. Chris Baker (owner) came over four about an hour and listened to what we were looking for.  Instead of sending us a quote, he came back two weeks later with a CAD drawing and presented us a design for our review. We discussed different stone (for the sitting wall) and different pavers for the patio/sidewalk.  We had the option to change things up if we wanted to.  After choosing Artistic Landscape, Chris came back again to show us actual samples of stone and pavers to finalize our design.  <br /> The implementation went smoothly. It took them about 4.5 days to get the work done.  Chris had two guys doing landscaping and two guys doing pavers and stone walls. Chris was also here most of the time working with them as well.  In addition, Chris had my six year old in the bobcat (technically a compact track loader) for 10 minutes while he was loading up the dump truck on the second day.   <br /> Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.  We would gladly use him again and recommend him to friends/neighbors. <br />"

"Bryce and his team were very professional and knew exactly what they were doing. They consulted with us on the whole aspect of the project and brought the concerns to us when it seemed like our choices might not be the right choice. Overall, they were very friendly and we were very satisfied with the patio paver + fire pit installed."

"This was a relatively small project, but John didn't treat it that way. He was extremely responsive: arranged a site visit on a Saturday morning, we had the estimate that night that we approved, and work was scheduled for Wednesday. Best part, the concrete looks great! Thanks for squeezing in our project, and we will definitely seek Concrete Builders for any future work."

"Chris & his crew arrived on time, they had to remove the existing tree, plant the new tree and create a stone tree well around the nw tree.  It turned out just like we wanted.  They also installed some small shrubs for us to improve the overall appearance of our backyard.  We love it and get compliments on it all the time. <br /> Previous to doing this work for us, Chris & his team installed a paved patio and sidewalk in our backyard that we love.  That's why we knew we needed to go to him when we had this job come up.   <br /> We highly recommend this company for anyone who needs pavers, stone work or landscaping done.  They are reliable and do beautiful work! <br />"

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