They will loop…read moreyou in every step of the way and make sure that everything they do is not only up to your standards- but also up to their standards- which are undoubtedly the highest standards I've ever seen a contractor hold themselves to. They just built us the biggest, nicest deck I could have dreamed of. We felt so comfortable and confident in their hands the entire process and cannot recommend them enough. Seriously- I hope you feel entirely confident taking a chance on this newish company because they are incredible.

Cody and Zach came out to my house to replace an old rotting step beside my garage. They were…read moreprofessional and quick, and they even made an extra overhang for me to attach a bird feeder. They had it done in one day. They listened to what I wanted, and it looked nicer and cleaner than what was there to begin with.

The contractor we had originally hired to rebuild our retaining wall in front of our house had only…read morepartially excavated the job site, and then disappeared with our money and never returned to finish the work. So, we started hunting for someone new to build the wall, and eventually settled on Garden Creations in Red Lion. We chose them partially due to their pricing, but also because of their location, how quickly they were able to quote the job, and the fact that they provided a proper written contract before starting work. They were very professional. They kept the job site clean/protected, they were true to their word and showed up on time every day and worked full days to get the job done quickly, and they even went a step further than they needed to, and cleaned out all the weeds and poison that had grown in the mulch around the wall (it had gotten really bad since it had been almost 6 months since the original contractor disappeared). I would definitely recommend this company for any hardscape related work, as they took their time to do the job the right way, and they handled the project professionally from start to finish.

We have issues with the poor quality of work offered by Ben, the owner. We paid 10k for a front…read morewalkway, stairs, and porch last summer. Within 3 weeks of project completion bricks from the stairs became loose causing a severe tripping and fall hazard. Over the last 10 months an even more serious problem has developed. The stairs have sunk approximately a quarter inch indicating that the base layers were improperly installed. The pavers that straddle the border between the porch and the stairs teeter and wobble because of the quarter inch difference in height, posing yet another tripping hazard. Ben would continually promise to come out and fix the problems but then never follow through. He has now stopped replying to us altogether. Ben's quality of work is poor and he is a liar. He's the type of person who gives contractors a bad name.

We contracted Lavender's Hardscape last year to create us a backyard oasis (their words) and it has…read morebeen a backyard nightmare for us. Has not taken responsibility for his improper applications of the base, polysand and sealer. He stated he has done nothing wrong & would not redo what was installed incorrectly. We have been left to talk to product manufacturers, local vendors he uses & other contractors to find out how to redo our patio we paid A-LOT of money for and finding out too that we didn't even get the right pavers we chose. He also mixed a few different colored pavers in when he broke some & now they stick out like sore thumbs which we will be replacing, again on our own dime. My husband & I have had to remove all the sand, hand scrub each of the smaller blocks, and remove all the sealer from each paver this spring & summer, spending a lot of time & extra money to fix what should have been done right the first time. We are still working on it as you can see in the pics. I requested our photo be removed from his FB page & he ignored the request as well as he has ignored us asking for the light box warranty since that also went out shortly after install. Very unprofessional, blames others & does not care for his customers. We are not complainers and were very patient with Ben but his lack of taking responsibility has left us to spend our time & more money on what we trusted him to do. Just don't want this to happen to others. I could only upload 10 pictures of what our patio looked like with the holes in the sand, white film on the pavers from sealer left on it, as well as cracking in the sand. I can share more on this nightmare if anyone wishes to see or hear, please reach out.

The solution consisted of a perimeter drain and two sets of sump pumps, one battery operated for back-up, at opposite corners of the basement. The installation personnel were very professional and worked extremely hard. The system was installed in 3 days as promised. Recently we had a significant storm which dumped 6-9" of water in less than 3 hours. The basement was completely dry after the storm. Lon and the customer service rep Nicole answered all of our questions in a timely manner and contacted us after the job was complete in the event we had any further questions. If you have a basement water issue I would recommend them.

We'd give him the keys to our house, that's how much we trust him. His knowledge base, attention to detail, incredible customer service, and willingness to work for a fair price are what set him apart from most of today's contractors. And he's the nicest guy to boot. If you're looking for a skilled mason, we can't recommend FW Masonry more highly. Give Frank a call.
