I want to give a HUGE thank you to Ray Fitzgerald (fitzgeraldmasonryllc.com) for putting our faith…read moreback in contractors. We had stone sitting for our pillars for over a year. I had one person on Nextdoor app recommend Ray and we figured we could at least get a quote. We had been searching high and low for someone to put stone on our pillars. We had companies tell us they couldnt use our existing stone material, that we would have to redo our existing steps completely, or had quotes for over $20k. We didnt trust anyone anymore because of our experience with a past contractor (who bought the supplies but never did the work) and took us 6 months to find the right person. Ray did much more than just the stone on the pillars, he redid our walkway using the stone that was already there (but made it look SO nice) and gave us tips on how to save on expense but get a finished look. If anyone needs masonry work done - please check out Ray. His work is beautiful!

We have been a customer since the beginning with Raymond Fitzgerald. He is professional,…read moremeticulous, reasonably priced, trustworthy, and best of all he is fully licensed and insured, and is a master stone mason by trade. He has done several projects for us some large some small. And everything is done to perfection. If you look at the photo of the brick path that is a path he did for us. The other photos are from other jobs but he's on thumbtack and he's not on Yelp, so I wanted to add him to Yelp. He is not just an exterior mason. He is a craftsman so he can do interior masonry work as well.

We've been battling water leakage in our living room for years. We've had several contractors…read more(roofing, window, etc) try to find the source of the problem to no avail. Ultimately they suggested it could be a problem with the stones in the wall. Disciple came out, recommended a strategy of replacing a couple of stones, re-pointing the rest of the area and applying sealant over the whole section. Work was scheduled promptly. The guys were very friendly and professional. The job was finished within 10 days (mortar needed to cure before sealant could be applied) and it looks great. Now we have to wait for a horrific rainstorm to see if that solves the problem.

Asked for an estimate for a 2x2 section of stucco that needed repair/replacing. The employee who…read morecame to see my home (I believe his name was Charles) provided a few details about what they would do but said he'd get back to me with an estimate "later today or tomorrow". After a week, I called to follow up and was told I'd hear back "later that day or the next." After another week of no contact, I called back again and spoke to a man named Nathan who told me that he would follow up with me (you guessed it) "later that day or the next". Still no call or text. Very frustrating as it's raining a lot lately and we want our external stucco wall repaired before any water damage occurs. I guess maybe they don't need my business? Can't say anything about their work but this customer service experience makes me question their reliability and attention to detail. Your experience may vary, but this was mine, for what it's worth.

I reached out to Matt Burns in the early summer of 2020 for an estimate to replace the clearly…read morefailing railroad tie retaining wall in my back yard. Matt's was one of several estimates I sought, and pricing was all over the place. Matt's bid was competitive and fair, and he demonstrated a depth of knowledge and familiarity that made me immediately comfortable hiring him. Due to scheduling conflicts with another contractor installing a deck for me, I threw Matt a few curveballs. At least twice I had to ask him to move his start date, and when his team did arrive, the deck contractors were totally in his way. Throughout, Matt was patient and focused on his work. The guys he brought with him worked tirelessly over four days to excavate, remove old materials, prepare proper drainage missing from the old wall, rebuild the wall with new EP Henry pavers and regrade the area around the new wall - as well as around my driveway. Matt and his crew went above and beyond, doing extra regrading work not included in his estimate at no additional charge. And they cleaned up the work area at the end of the job beautifully. The wall looks so good that the old, shabby brick pavers by my pool now look sad by comparison. I'll be asking Matt Burns to come back to address that issue, and others, in the future. Hire Matt with confidence. You'll be glad you did. And if you have questions or want more details just message me. I'm happy to offer my strong recommendation of Matt and his team.

A few years back, I hired Carl to improve the scary grade of my back alley parking spot. He called…read moreme on day one of the job with an idea that cleverly funneled the water and drastically improved the grade of my parking spot beyond what we originally came up with.

The second was more recently to re-lay out garage floor and some concrete blocks on our sidewalk. They did a great job both times, we've had many people comment on how well they parged the walls, including other contractors. They also managed to lower or basement flow by 6 inches down to the bottom of the foundation walls. They've always been on time, great communication, and both jobs have been fantastic. No wonder there's a waiting period to get on their schedule. Highly recommended Carl and his crew!

I feel comfortable sitting outdoors away from a glance over the fence during the day. My husband and I can enjoy our outdoor space now as our 2nd family room with the lights.

D & M was the middle bidder on the job and I am very glad we engaged them. They provided superior quality plants, often a bit larger than specified by the landscape architect. Their installation crew was professional and the company's after care was exceptional. We planted some additional trees with them in 2013, and when the last two winters proved very harsh, Doyle & McDonnell was more than fair in helping us with replacements. I recommend them without hesitation. They also did a great job with our outdoor lighting.

When John Fridy came to meet in person and take a look at my front beds, I explained that I envisioned a pollinator destination that would grow into a lush garden in the years to come. John understood exactly what I was looking for, made an individualized plan, and returned - in person - with pictures of the plants he envisioned throughout my front walk. These included plants that would provide unique interest in the design process, were deer resistant, and would ensure something was in bloom throughout the spring and summer seasons. A few weeks later, he and his team of polite, careful, and professional individuals removed the existing shrubs and placed new shrubs and perennials, using healthy soils and mulch to ensure our new plants would thrive. The butterflies and birds are now all over my front yard! John is going to return in late fall to plant bulbs and is also coming back in the spring to make sure everything is growing beautifully and incorporate annuals. I could not be happier that I reached out to John and the Naturescapes team when I did. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Call John and the Naturescapes team!
