Get matched with top brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installers in Wytheville, VA

"I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids."

"This is my second time going with Greystone and they did a great job! I would go back for a third!"

"Went very well. It was slow going because of the heat, but it was done in a timely manner, and we were satisfied."

"Was there on time in the am. Dumped the wood on the driveway (moved the basketball hoop so it wouldn't be hit). All in all they were in and out quickly and very professional. Haven't used the wood as of yet- have a supply from last year. But the wood seems like it will burn good- very dry. <br />"

"<p>I have used them before. I used them to landscape my front yard, back yard and to do some hardscaping back there. </p>"

"They do a good job. I think the pricing is fair. I'll continue to use him."

"When I first started researching contractors to do this work I ran across a terrible review for this company on Angie's List. As I continued to read the review I realized how absolutely ridiculous it was, obviously written by someone with a personal grudge or another business trying to take down their competition. <br /> I'm so glad I ignored it. We contacted Green Acres owner, Dave Arnold, and had a short discussion about what we were considering. He made an appointment to come to our house to see the location of the project, take measurements and discuss details. We were then asked us to come by his business to see examples of the materials that he uses and to choose colors. A very professional and comprehensive quote was presented to us in writing and signed by us and Mr. Arnold. The job started with building a beautiful, gently curved stone block retaining wall to deal with the difficult slope in our back yard. Mr. Arnold had suggested that we cap the wall with stone slabs to create a and quot;sitting walland quot;. This has proven to be not only attractive but very practical as well. A large, round stone fire pit was installed on one end of the patio, spaced close enough to warm yourself from the sitting wall (again Mr. Arnold's suggestion) and with space for chairs around the other side of the pit. A paver walkway was laid in a nice, organic curve extending from the patio toward our dock. The portions of the foundation that were visible from the patio were faced with natural looking stone slabs. <br /> The project was started at the time promised and completed in the estimated 4-5 days. The price was the price, no over-runs. All the workers were meticulous, careful of our landscaping, respectful of us and our property and worked diligently even on a couple of extremely hot and humid days. We're thrilled with the outcome and have already enjoyed evenings sitting around the fire, enjoying the night sounds. <br /> We would absolutely recommend Green Acres and Dave Arnold. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"The design process with Timothy was very pleasant and professional.  He provided choices for plantings and helped me select the most appropriate.  There was a long wait for implementation, which was not unexpected.  An implementation date was finally given but nobody showed up, and nobody responded to my phone calls.  Eventually Timothy emailed me and apologized for the problems.  Work finally began several days later.  The crew, headed by Brandon, did an excellent job.  However, they were often delayed waiting for material or equipment to be delivered. <br />"

"Clinton and his team are true professionals and do excellent work. I would highly recommend!"

"The strengths of Green Acres included high quality work on patio areas and walls. They do extensive preparation that so far appears to provide a solid foundation for the patio and walls. The ponds they installed are quite lovely and overall we are pleased with the quality of the installation itself. Bill Garren provided good input on design. The crew generally worked very hard. In particular one member of the crew took the initiative to build a retaining wall out of rocks available at the worksite that solved a runoff problem exacerbated by the Green Acres’ installed masonry walls, but not accommodated by their design. <br /> The major issue we had involved the pervasive lack of supervision of the crew which led to mistakes, including the installation of a gutter within the parking area rather than at the bottom edge of the parking area—as we had repeatedly told Bill Garren. While Bill offered to remove and reinstall the gutter, we would have had a large repair in the parking area susceptible to <br /> generation of potholes in winter, so we opted to leave it where it is. The hardscaping plan included construction of a bench using a marble slab on site. A Green Acres employee crushed the marble slab by toppling a pallet of blocks on it. The marble slab <br /> could have been easily moved prior to placing the pallet adjacent to it or the pallet could have been placed elsewhere. We were offered no recompense for destruction of the slab or failure to construct the bench. They also ruptured the water line to the house and cut the underground phone line; both were repaired fairly quickly. Overall the work could have been done much more efficiently if adequately supervised, which would have shortened the time spent on the job and produced fewer mistakes. Several final details were not completed, in particular, the placement of additional decorative stones, which are plentifully and easily available near the construction site. Application of mortar on the front steps was totally inadequate, with dozens of gaps and holes left. While these gaps and holes were readily observable, the installer (Garren’s project supervisor) refused to <br /> comply with the our request to look over all the mortar joints and apply additional mortar where needed. Instead, <br /> he initially demanded that the homeowner point out each of dozens of defects. And finally, the crew laid a bed of <br /> gravel alongside the project area to facilitate the movement of their equipment across the bare clay. We now have <br /> an unsightly layer of gravel, in which we suspect nothing but weed grass will grow, alongside the new walkway. No attempt was made to mitigate or correct this gravel bed. A heavy truck delivering material crushed a brick pillar at top of our driveway because the driver turned in the wrong direction. We accepted Green Acres offer to rebuild the pillar and asked that they move it a couple of feet farther from the driveway. Although relocating the pillar would have resulted in substantially no additional work, Bill Garren refused unless we paid him to relocate it. We rather thought our forbearance regarding the marble slab and the incorrectly placed gutter warranted some consideration on his part. <br /> In addition, we would have appreciated candor on the part of Bill in realistically estimating the start of the project and the completion. He said he was delayed several weeks by rain. Undoubtedly the unusually heavy rain delayed him this summer. This does not explain or excuse his empty promises of a full work crew for the entire project, including when he would have people on site to correct discrepancies such as the mortar joints mentioned above and an incompetently installed electric cable for the pond pump that caused the pump to stop working. We did not have the full crew for the vast majority of the work, as the <br /> supervisor was offsite doing other jobs or attending to personal matters. <br /> Overall I think they are overpriced and I would probably not do business with them again. <br /> <br />"
