Boston, the owner, was very responsive, and came right over to look at our pool. He asked several questions about what we wanted. After exchanging pictures and talking, he was able to give us a fair quote. Boston started the job exactly when he said he would and texted before hand, pics of the rocks he was picking out. The work took 3 days and was spectacular! The workers were very careful and... were by far, the cleanest contractors we've ever had. The water feature turned out to be even better than we expected! It is exactly what we wanted. We love it!! Check out his Face Book page to see pics!
Description of Work: He created a real rock water feature for our pool.

Fantastic! You would hardly ever know that the patch wasn't part of the original wall. The workers were timely, incredibly hardworking, efficient, and skilled. We thought the project would take several days, but they finished it in just one day! We couldn't be happier with the quality of the work.
Description of Work: We needed to patch a large hole in an exterior brick wall (a set of french doors used to be there). In order to get matching bricks, they had to take down a small brick partition and a set of brick stairs in our backyard and clean those bricks to use on the exterior wall.

Description of Work: Replaced brick wall and wooden fence damaged by fallen tree and replaced a brick pillar supporting the back porch. Once they got there - hassles with insurance (of course) - the work went well and we were satisfied.
Derst Hardscape Design was asked to quote pavers and poured concrete for a patio. They gave us information about the merits of both. We decided on the stamped concrete. We were given a 8 to 10 week time frame for the start of the work. We were pleasantly surprised with a call after 2 weeks that our new space would be started the next week. Boston told us it would be a three day install. He was true to his word. Within 3 days, our new outdoor living space was complete with a fire pit and ready for use. Derst Hardscape Design and Boston were professional and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Installed 620sf of stamped concrete patio and walkway.

The crew did a great job. They were courteous and worked with skill and precision. They arrived on time and were able to work extremely well even with a few tough constraints. The price was fair and I will certainly use them in the future.

We had recently been plagued by vandalism to our previous standard rural mailbox and finally had enough. We initially were looking for brick, but when Boston Derst came by to inspect the property and provide an estimate, he recommended stone since that was the primary masonry on our home visible from the street. The provider was very polite, up-front, professional, and responsive. He called promptly to keep us abreast of a small delay due to rain (out of his control), and showed up exactly when promised. The quality of work appears excellent, and hopefully is now much more vandal-resistant. I would highly recommend them to any friend or family member.
Description of Work: The provider built a stone-encased mailbox.

My general contractor hired Boston Derst with Derst Hardscape Design to remodel the front door steps to my house. The existing brick steps were narrow and contained a section which was filled with dirt approximately 3 1/2 feet wide by 4 feet long located to the right of the steps. Derst removed the area filled with dirt and paved the landing with concrete to match the existing space which extended the width of the steps to a total of approximately 8 feet. I found a few aged brick on the property to match the existing brick and Derst was able to locate additional brick to complete the project. The newly constructed steps appear identical to the original ones. The excellent work performed by this company has significantly improved the appearance of the front door steps and enhanced the house's charm. Boston Derst was professional and courteous and, during an inspection of the work performed by one of his employees, he offered suggestions concerning landscaping challenges on the property.
