if I could leave a 0 star review I would. I would strongly advise against using this landscaper…read more Our experience was extremely disappointing & continues to be an ongoing nightmare, leaving us with repairs, safety concerns, & additional expenses. The project was never completed as agreed. We were told it would take 3 weeks to complete retaining walls, a patio, a back walkway and a "free fall clean up" The work that was done was done incorrectly and will need to be repaired or completely redone. Even after being told multiple times that the work was being done improperly or not the way we discussed, the owner showed little concern and continued to proceed as he saw fit. Now I'm left with an extremely steep back walkway that freezes over in the winter. The grading of the lawn was done incorrectly, which has already caused property damage & drainage issues. One of the most concerning issues is that construction debris was buried throughout our yard instead of being properly removed. This includes materials like rebar, some of which was left protruding from the ground, creating a serious safety hazard. Cuts from Cambridge pavers, along with bushes & other debris, were also buried, including areas near or directly on top of our septic system and leach fields. In addition, the professionalism on site was unacceptable. The owner and workers were observed urinating in our yard in plain view of neighboring properties, multiple times while they were here despite being told they could use the bathroom inside the home. There were also attempts to cut corners while still charging for materials that were never used, such as rebar that was supposed to be installed for a concrete footing. These charges were only removed after repeated questioning, which raises serious concerns about honesty and billing practices. They also attempted to leave without filling up the retaining walls with crushed stone, when we removed the caps & questioned the owner, he made excuses & did eventually go back and refill them. His employees also created property damage to our neighbors lawn because they were parking their vehicles on it, they broke the neighbors fence in multiple places & failed to repair it until the owners father showed up on site attempting to rectify the situation. The owners father actually was the one who fixed the neighbors fence pieces. Mean while the crew broke our garden hose Spicket and nozzle never reported it to us we discovered it on our own. Which the owners father also was kind enough to fix, they had little to no respect for our hoses they were using either, they just left them out strung out on our lawn, covered in mud & concrete. (They aren't the cheapest hoses either.) While operating a machine the owner actually struck our house creating property damage to our gutter, didn't even notify us of it just threw a fit and got in his truck & left for the day. Once again the father of the owner had that repaired for us. To make matters worse, parts of the job that were agreed upon, such as removing certain bushes, were never completed. On one occasion, no work was performed despite suitable weather, & the owner briefly arrived only to remove and sell dirt from our property to another landscaping business. As a result, we are now left needing additional fill to correct the grading, especially as areas of the lawn have begun to sink, likely due to buried debris. The some of the debis has started to resurface in our lawn now after the winter. Additional concerns included debris being thrown onto neighboring properties, which I personally had to retrieve shortly after giving birth, while the crew continued working. There were also issues with personal property being discarded, including bags of sorted returnable cans & bottles that had been set aside for our sons bank account. Overall, this was an unprofessional, careless, and deeply frustrating experience that resulted in unsafe conditions & significant additional costs. I would not recommend this company to anyone. If you do choose to hire them, I strongly suggest closely monitoring all work.

Hank Johnson, owner of Stone Artistry, came out personally to assess our situation and sent us an estimate the next morning. We appreciated his vast knowledge of his craft as he took stock of our situation. It's obvious that he has decades of experience under his belt. Hank has a good sense of humor and is a very personable. He made us feel at ease and that we could trust his assessment of things. His communication was consistent and responsive both by email and text. He kept us updated about where progress on the job stood and what we could expect moving forward. His crew was courteous and kept the job-site organized and tidy. At one point Hank noted to us that the wall required more attention to shore it up and avoid faster deterioration down the road. His added estimate was fair and he made it very clear as to why the additional work was needed. Hanks' crew not only repaired the portion of the wall and made it look really good- but they cleaned the surface of the entire wall and removed sand and dirt that had accumulated at its base. There were many larger pieces of flagstone and other rocks that didn't get used in the repair job and Hank's crew left all of that on premises - which felt very honest! We will absolutely hire them again in the future.
