I contacted Cousins Garden Design for an estimate on a paver patio. Steve came out the next day and…read morewas courteous, professional and above all, patient. Weeks after he left, Steve continued to be responsive to the many times we reached out to him with design changes and questions. Cousins provided us with a very reasonable estimate. We ended up putting our project on hold due to a material delay (not at all under Steve's control), but still plan on using his services in the future.

Met with Joe to express our needs and brainstormed different options and decided on an approach…read morethat was best for the existing layout. Joe is a great communicator throughout our entire experience, updating progress and arrival times, etc. The working crew did an all around awesome job from demolition of deteriorating walkway, driveway and porch to the laying the new areas. They were dry pleasant and personable to speak with. What was most impressive was the pride of their work and attention to details. When the driveway and side walk were poured, they took time to neatly backfill the edges with little spade shovels and level everything out. Their cleanup was impeccable to the point you would not have known they were even here. At the end of the project, they roped off the area to keep people off and dry properly to the point they will have to return to retrieve the poles and such. Joe also made it a point to take the time on the do's and don'ts of how to properly maintain. It's nice to deal with someone who is knowledgeable and takes pride in his work. HIGHLY recommend and would not hesitate to have him for future projects. June/2026

Joe Pellicore and sons did two jobs for me in Hainesport in Fall 2023: a large pad for a spa and a…read moresmaller one. Both were done very well, on time and budget, and they went out of their way to make sure that every detail, including the color and the final grading, were just what we wanted. You won't go wrong with the two Joe's.

Most definitely a five star operation here. My family and I had no complaints about the job that…read morewas done today. First of all the crew arrived promptly at 8:00AM. We were initially given a window so we were delighted to be the first job of the day. There was a massive tree in our yard. So massive that neighbors finally became annoyed with the overhang of vines and weeds so it had to come down. The crew came prepared with all manner of tree cutting and disposal machinery and tools. The whole system involved several trucks that took up a good portion of the street. These guys were thorough and professional. Several cars had to be moved out of the way one of which was dead. No problem. They jumped it and moved it as well as another for a disabled neighbor and when the job was done they put the cars back in their original spaces. They cleaned constantly throughout the process. Living in a row home meant most of the trunk had to be carried out through the house. They handled that part just as well. Do read your contract, they spell out many specifics like how much of the trunk of our tree could be cut down because it had begun to grow into the fence. This should make clear your expectations. Highly recommended.

We hired Gordon Johnson on a recommendation from my brother. Gordon built a beautiful pool for…read morehim. He completed our pool recently and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He did a spectacular job. The pool was completed in about 8 weeks which I understand is unprecedented. We also have a 37 foot long wall with waterfalls which came out perfect. The big name builders could never match this time frame. He is literally at our house every couple days even after the pool is done to make certain the chemicals are correct and to make certain everything is running as it should. Every issue I had, Gordon responded quickly to resolve or answer my questions. Without a doubt save yourself a lot of time and hire Gordon Johnson.
