"J&P was great to work with. Juan was very responsive to my emails and all my questions. He made good recommendations to improve our landscaping but wasn’t pushy. He got us on the schedule quickly, and the work was done promptly. In three days they had installed a new brick paver wall, completely reset and properly leveled our paver patio, trimmed/cleaned up all planting beds and put down new mulch. They even built a small pathway in our garden with our leftover brick. His team was professional and quick! Pricing was competitive. We have had several complements from the neighbors already - thanks J&P!"

"I recently had a concrete patio, steps, and a shed pad installed and couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the team was prompt and professional, showing up on time and ready to work. Their communication was excellent—we always knew what to expect and when. Once they got started, the crew worked quickly and efficiently, finishing the job in far less time than I expected without cutting corners on quality. The pricing was also very competitive compared to other quotes I received. Overall, I am very pleased with the results and would absolutely use them again for future project. My neighbor already asked for their number lol."

"The tear down and rebuild was fast. He came and provided an excellent quote, found the right kind of material that should have been used and rebuilt the wall after the huge rain storms caused it to bow out. Will be using him to redo my backyard deck into a paver patio."

"This is the 4th time this year I've used Roger and his company for landscape projects around my house. Projects hve included driveway extension through installation of driveway pavers; planting of 20 shrubs, weeding and shrub trimming and removal of lava stone mulch and replacement with hardwood mulch around my whole house. I can not say enough great things about Roger and his firm. They are hardworking, polite, effiicent, and have very reasonble pricing. I highly recommend this firm to anyone!

"Why I Hired: Happened to see StoneMark's work and met 2 of the work team on another job, nearby. It was beautiful. Impressed by the enthusiasm owner, Pete, had for my job. He 'sees' your project in his mind. Willing to accommodating requests I had that other companies would not consider: curves, curves, curves. Made really good suggestions that enhanced my ideas; improved on them. I had many questions and concerns. Pete answered them all. Price was competitive. Expensive, but within the norm for this work. The Actual Build Experience: Pete made sure we were clear on materials and the process. He met me at the stone yard to choose pavers and other stone. The men doing the work are the most dedicated and competent I have known. They worked tirelessly. They worked as a team. The work was heavy and hard, yet it went on flawlessly. They They 'fixed' outlines in order to make the shape right. I wanted curved edges, and to have that required careful placement and measurements for the arcs to be perfect. They are experts in this particular application, and in placing the pavers perfectly. There was no wasted time, once the project began. My ~ 400 square foot space took about 4 days to finish. All materials, underlayment and pavers are clearly quality. We have a ramped up Village inspection requirement which was handled professionally, even when adjustments were needed. The inspector commented to me on the quality of the work, as did the cement contractor who later repaved my driveway. The end project is breathlessly beautiful. OK, so the old patio was so horrible most anything would have been better, but the outcome was beyond my expectation and fits beautifully with the existing gardens. They returned promptly to reset the edge of the service walk abutting the driveway that was disturbed when a new driveway was laid. Reality Checks: These guys are good and so are very busy. Scheduling can be tricky and if there is rain, time gets set back. I was not prepared for how long it took for the project to begin - at least 8 weeks. I found it hard to have my yard become a construction site. It took me a bit of time to realize that if you want to have this work you must realize it will be a mess, and some trampling, and some reconstruction along the edges (grass seeding, mulching, re-planting) is likely. It is scary for me to be overrun with construction, but once Pete reminded me that 'hey, it's a construction site,' I was able to calm down. This project was straightforward: no fire pits, built-in grills, or retaining/sitting walls. They can't fix everything. I still have ants excavating! Finally: The patio is beautiful, just beautiful!"

"Naper Lawn Work did fantastic job on our outdoor remodel. We had them put in an outdoor kitchen (my husband absolutely loves), gas fire place (the kids love roasting marshmallows), beautiful p**** paver patio, pillars, and outdoor lighting. Its great for entertaining!  My husband and I received numerous compliments. We have even had neighbors ask if we mind if the duplicate our yard.
From the very beginning, Naper Lawn Works has been very professional. They never tried to over sell. They listen to what my husband and I chose and offered great advice and tips to make it look even better than what we pictured.  Naper Lawn Works stayed on schedule the whole time, kept us informed daily as what the schedule is.  All the workers were very polite and even cleaned up their mess everyday before leaving our home. We shopped around for other prices and found Naper Lawn Works not only an affordable price, but they are local. Mark, the owner, was so very nice. I could not have asked for a better guy to deal with. I am someone that worries constantly, but Mark made me feel comfortable and answered my million questions throughout the whole process.
My husband and I are so please with the work, that this spring we will be starting a new project with Naper Lawn Works for the front of our house. I am so excited as seeing how easily and affordable our last project was. I would recommend Naper Lawn Works to everyone. Not only does my family and I constantly enjoy our yard, but its awesome for entertaining, that the whole neighborhood is over enjoying it too.
Thank you Mark and the whole Naper Lawn Works team for everything. We will see you in the spring for our new project."

"Brian came out to the house and did a thorough review of the issues we were having. He explained what he thought had to be done. He even told us if we wanted to wait on the column it was more of an eyesore than anything but that it wasn't going to cause problems anytime soon. We decided to go ahead and replace it. It was refreshing that he wasn't just trying to make a buck but telling us exactly what we needed and didn't need. We scheduled a date. That morning they called and were there when they said they would be. The two worked all day and did a highly professional job. We are extremely pleased and will definitely be hiring them again for some carpentry work in our basement."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.
