We worked with Michael and the crew at Stone Water Tree to redesign/revamp our front yard. We loved the general layout of the area, but the plants were overgrown, difficult to maintain, and the space was not functional for the front yard socializing that makes our neighborhood special. Response time was prompt and the pricing was competitive and totally reasonable. Michael listened to everything we wanted, gave great advice, came up with some excellent ideas we would not have considered, and did excellent work. Everyone on the crew was lovely to work with. I was really pleased with how my favorites of my existing plants were able to be preserved or relocated and with how the new plantings, ground coverings, and stone features combined to form a beautiful, sustainable yard that I know we will enjoy for years to come. Highly recommend! read more

Quick service. Clean and considerate workers. Reasonable pricing. I engaged them for the parking strip as it was all weeds and I wanted something low maintenance. They had the lowest bid and started right away. Usually, I am wary of going for the lowest bid but their write up on the quote was very detailed and explicit on the work being done so I felt like we were on the same page. Great work and I will be using them again for the next job. read more

We're so happy we used Stone Water Tree for our landscaping, and we'd like to let everyone know how great our experience was! For us as first-time homeowners, getting landscaping bids was a little intimidating. We were starting from scratch and unsure about how much cost would be involved. We set up a consultation appointment with Michael, who was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. The difference between our experience with Stone Water Tree and the consultations with different landscaping companies was that Michael really took his time to determine what we liked, what we needed and how this would all tie in with our minimal budget. The plan development and execution were exceptionally well-communicated and timely. The use of natural and local materials, combined with drought-tolerant plants for our desire to keep watering to a minimum, yielded a beautiful result. Michael and Elliot's work was meticulous. We're so thrilled we found this company and would highly recommend them. read more

Michael and Elliott were great to work with. Gave as a very reasonable bid for the job and they were there when they said they would be there. Michael and Elliott are creative and work well together. Michael helped us figure out what we wanted when we were not sure how to explain it to him:) They worked on a neighbor's yard and that inspired us to do our yard. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Michael from start to finish. His professionalism, expertise, and creativity made for an impressive process and result. We highly recommend him for design and installation. Our project involved a new patio installation, lawn removal, new planting beds, and water management. Professionalism: Michael maintained excellent written and verbal communication with us throughout the process, starting with the initial consultation. Changes were consistently documented. We always knew when he and his work assistant were going to be working. The work space (our yard) was tidy, organized, and safe. Expertise/Creativity: Michael suggested and implemented successful water drainage systems in our water-logged yard. Most impressive is the bluestone patio he put in - the process of choosing the stone, laying out the pieces, making hand cuts, and installing the stones was amazing to watch. The final result is a work of art that fits in with the tone of our small yard. Also worth noting is his work partner, Elliott. She was equally reliable and talented. Stone Water Tree is a great team company. We are so glad we found Stone Water Tree for our yard. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Stone, Water, Tree. I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone needing a landscaping project of any size. These folks transformed our boring yard (with such "charming" amenities as dead photinias, lumpy grass, and a peculiar piece of fence buried in vines) into a lovely botanical paradise. Michael was the perfect choice to lead this transformation. He took our initial plan and together we tweaked it to make the best use of sun/shade patterns, available plants and hard materials, and our long-range goals. The crew ripped out the old, ugly stuff and installed a great new patio, a gravel path winding through some beautifully graded flowerbeds, a succulent garden, and a charming open area carpeted with low-growing thyme. A great mix of native and well-adapted plants are now taking root, and the team left the entire place perfectly mulched. It's still a young garden, of course, and the lush, abundant look will come in a few years -- but it's also beautiful right now, and we sit on our new patio and just marvel at the transformation. Everyone on the team is super-knowledgeable about plants and hardscaping. We very much liked the fact that Michael has regular employees - folks who are real pros, used to working together as a team -- instead of just hiring temps project-to-project like some firms do. They are such a nice bunch of people. They made the entire process a pleasure. It was a big project and not an inexpensive one, but Michael's bid was very competitive and we feel like we got an excellent value for our significant investment. Michael was terrific about doing things in a cost-effective way while still maintaining great quality. We really couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. Thanks to the great team at Stone, Water, Tree! read more

Stone, Water, Tree did an outstanding job on our condominium landscaping project. Throughout the entire process, Michael was knowledgeable, creative, and quick to respond to my endless questions and concerns. The team completed the work on-time and the final product looks great. I will definitely be coming back to Stone, Water, Tree in the future! read more

Michael is really nice and you can tell he's seasoned, knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He came by to do a bid and was really thorough and took the time although he knew that he wasn't going to be available in our time frame since he is booked up through the summer. He gave me recommendations others didn't point out and even texted me the next day to pass along a plant store he had mentioned. After my interaction with him and seeing his portfolio you can tell they are a great company. read more

Michael is a fantastic person to do business with. He is very professional and is determined to do a good job. Michael and his helper (Elliot) work hard and make sure the job is done right. They have been trimming the trees and shrubs, cleaning up and mulching for my client for years. The neighbors are difficult and MIchael has gone out of his way to complete the work in a way that avoids problems. He is always prompt and can be trusted to go over and above what is requested. I have been a property manager for 34 years and I would not hesitate to recommend Stone Water Tree for your next landscaping/design project. Michael has a great eye for seeing how to best improve a space while respecting the desires of the client. I always know that Michael and his team will do the job right. read more

Michael delivers highly aesthetic results, carefully handpicking natural stone. He has delivered exceptional results for us on 3 different houses, incluidng a flagstone walkway, a stone patio (where he carefully selected stones that fit together to cover the patio area with just enough seams in between for moss to grow in) as well as larger stone yard accents and a rock stream. read more

Michael and his team are awesome to work with--creative, respectful, timely, communicative, and reliable. We had some ideas about what we wanted from our landscaping projects, but Michael lent additional creativity and steered us in directions we hadn't even considered for wonderful results. He is thorough and respectful of budget considerations, and listened carefully to my gardening "style" to select appropriate plants for maximum beauty and reasonable maintenance. He's great with hardscaping too, making sure to carefully consider the existing space in order to provide solutions that attractively and seamlessly blend with what's already there. We get lots of compliments on our yard, and look forward to working with Stone, Water, Tree again in the future! read more

We had a full landscape, lawn removal, rock work done. Michael did a nice design quickly, and then worked hard to complete the work. It turned out very nice. You can have a nice design done, but it may be handed to a contractor who then gives it to a project manager, etc, none of whom may really be invested in the final product. Michael and crew do the work themselves and are obviously invested in every aspect of it and proud of what they do. They care about every detail of the work. Since he was always on site, it was easy to chat about changes, options, etc. Good knowledge of plants. Did a nice job on the paths and rock features. Kept to the schedule, cleaned up well daily. read more

I have used Stone, Water, Tree, initially at a friend's recommendation several times now. I have never been disappointed. They have done everything from doing some maintenance at a rental , (taking out an old pond and adding a beautiful dry stream bed and trimming a ton of hedges.) Most recently they did all the landscaping, sod , planting native plants and flowers, new bark etc..at a home I had remodeled. They do outstanding work and Michael really cares. He gives you a very detailed quote that spells out exactly what he will do and then will give you options if you want to spend a bit more or less. He cares about trying to use native plants that work for your space and they take great pride in their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and I will continue to use them. read more
