"This was the second time we worked with Michael and Eddie; they worked on the north side of the wall for our house about 3 years ago. Because of the excellent results, we hired them again to repair the south side wall. Manny and his crew again did an excellent job, they completed all the jobs described in the contract to our satisfaction. I will definitely be a return customer."

"We hired this company to replace our crumbling front stairs, the curved front walkway, another set of stairs, rebuild the retaining wall in concrete, and install new railings. Fidel and Daniel were responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of our questions. The level of communication and customer service stood out to me and showed me how much they care about the quality of their work. The new concrete, retaining walls, and railings look amazing.

"It went well and it took care of the problem."

"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!"
