The crew showed up very early each morning, fully prepared to work, and picked up after themselves throughout the day. One of them suggested curving the little walkway onto the porch and it made the entrance look even more inviting.
If we had another masonry project, we would definitely hire Distinctive Stoneworks to do it.
Two weeks later, the contractor and crew arrived and began working on excavation of a significant amount of material (our back yard) necessary to provide a solid and well drained base for the pavers. This work revealed that a 50' concrete retaining wall would need to be raised in height by 8" to provide necessary slope for drainage. The height was accomplished by addition of 8" cement blocks being applied to the entire length of wall, being held in place with cement and rebar rod to assure no separation between the original and new work. Then the process of building the base began with the bringing in of 30 yds of base material, spreading in small layers, with mechanical compaction between layers - seems they ran those compactors for four of the six days - always compacting and checking slopes. Finally the fine sand layers, more compacting, drainage checks and then the pavers - more compacting. Lastly, the poly sand was applied - more compacting. We elected to have the sealer applied after a couple of weeks after installation and that will be in August. The finished patio was more than we could have originally imagined! And while the extensive wall rework increased the cost by 7%, we feel the finished project was so much more than what we originally invisioned, it is worth it. As a related project, done in conjunction with the patio was the removal and reconstruction of a fieldstone cellerway which was badly deterioated. The demo was efficiently compled and waste materials hauled away. All being replaced by beautiful granite steps and included a small sump for collection of rain water disposal. And, as promised the contractor repaired the lawn areas disturbed by the heavy machinery and trucks as materials were trucked away and necessary new materials were delivered. In summary, we were/are completely satisfied with the materials and services provided and pleased that his work is guaranteed for five years - most of any contractors contacted.
