"Very well, I decided to expand the project after the initial bid and they were very honest with the additional charges for the work that was required after the original quote. Positives- they returned every call, before, during and after the project. They showed up when they said they would and are genuinely concerned with you, the customer being satisfied with their work. And they cleaned up the work site-my driveway which was the staging area, with no sign of them being there. I never give 5 stars but these guys deserve it."

"Alex removed our existing concrete patio, installed a paver patio, and rebuilt a stone wall. He and his crew were courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, paying great attention to detail. Alex was also very accommodating, meeting us at a stone yard to help pick out materials. We highly recommend Alex Masonry and would definitely hire them again."

"I needed to find someone for yard clean up and removal. It was after hours on a Friday and I needed the work done before Monday Morning for pictures for my home sale listing. Within minutes I received a call back and Ethan was at my house with in 15 minutes with very reasonable quote. Ethan and his crew showed up Saturday morning and worked extremely hard for most of the day. Then returned again on Sunday in the pouring rain to finish things I added last minute. They are very respectful and extremely hardworking guys. My yard looked amazing with all the bushes trimmed, dead branches cut down, leaves cleared,gardens blown out, and tree logs removed . I highly recommend them!!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

Yes, such as sod installation and erosion control for comprehensive site improvement.

Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.
