Roger is reliable and efficient. My yard looks lovely. When my neighbor' cobstruction project included removal of a section, he immediately responded about replacing it.
Description of Work: I had my back yard concrete removed and replaced with pavers. This included relocating my garden and placing large stacking stones around it in addition to providing a small rectangular area with large pebbles. The pavers are placed in a design that we planned.

Excellent experience working with Roger. First of all he came back with the most competitive quote for the job. Second, the job was done 1.5 weeks after I signed the contract. Patio looks great, I highly recommend using London Stoneworks.

We had a great experience working with Roger. He helped with the design and provide valuable input. He was timely, flexible, and did the job himself. We are very pleased with the outcome and have received many compliments from neighbors. We would highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Roger brick-paved our front walkway and retaining wall. We were also replacing our front door so Roger planned to coordinate the work with the installation date knowing one would affect the other. I appreciate his flexibility and advice on how to marry the two projects together. He had to come back after the door was installed to complete the framework under the door. He did so without hesitation and didn't expect to be paid until the job was completed. I also like that he doesn't simply hire out his services to others after plotting out the design. He does the work himself which goes a long way when the expert is there to see the conditions and make adjustments to fill the gaps. I like the hands on approach, pride, and sense of ownership he takes in his work.

SPECTACULAR! Roger is an artist when it comes to perfection in hardscape. What a professional! He spent quite a bit of times both with the design and with helping us with our new stone selection. We tend toward the atypical in our taste, and so wanted to use something other than flagstone or traditional bluestone pacers while still keeping the cost in check. This was a large and potentially hiddeously expensive project. He and his assistant, Chris, were professional in their demeanor. They spent time far in excess of our expectations working with us to make sure the result were to our liking. We have no qualms about recommending his services to others. We promise, you will not be disappointed if you retain his services. (we also enjoyed working with Mindy Heidikat, the landscaper to whom Roger referred us)
Description of Work: Roger removed the stone and concrete from our crumbling path, stairs and porch. He replaced them with new concrete and stone, in addition to placing large pieces of stone for our landscaping. He both designed the layout and procured the stone used for our new harrdscaoe.

We wanted to expand a small patio into a much larger one while re-using the old bluestone so as not to waste it. Roger was outstanding. He immediately understood what we wanted to do. His quote was very reasonable considering the scope of the work. He and his helper started and finished the job on time--in about a week--and on budget. We decided at the last minute to replace the step out to the patio and Roger was more than willing to roll with the punches--and the additional cost was quite reasonable. Overall, we'd use London Stoneworks again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Replaced a small bluestone patio and poorly built step with a new, much larger patio and step.

Roger Essex and his assistant, Chris, did a terrific job. It's nice to hire a craftsman and have that person HIMSELF do the work, rather than a small army of workers you've never met. Roger and Chris worked long, hard days to get the job done in a timely fashion. They were considerate, did a great clean-up job, and Roger was wonderfully picky about the work, redoing some stones to get the yard looking just so. I thoroughly enjoyed having them at the house, and I would highly recommend London Stonework. Roger's estimate (which was the final cost) was in the ballpark of others we spoke to before choosing London Stonework. When I first learned what it would cost to do the work, I thought it seemed pretty high, but having actually seen the work involved, I understand why the pricing for this type of work is what it is.
Description of Work: Our backyard is bordered by raised beds, with a scruffy lawn in the middle. We had Roger remove the lawn and pave with rough-cut bluestone as well as build a circular raised bed in the middle of the yard.

He always comes when he says he will. I have worked with him before so he knew what kind of stone I wanted. We were using the same kind of stone as before. They put a good layer of material under the stone to ensure everything was stable. He also looked at my patio in the back yard and made a few minor repairs. He is very friendly and easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable in his field!

Roger Essex came to our home and gave me some suggestions on what we could do to improve our front stoop. We agreed that paving it with bluestone would be the best option. He emailed me some pictures of other projects he had done along with suggestions regarding kinds of bluestone, front edging options, and patterns. We continued to communicate by email and phone until we had a final plan. He considered my ideas and concerns as he made his professional judgements. We were extremely pleased with the project as it progressed from beginning to end. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Essex and we are very happy with the excellent workmanship and the final result.

Roger is very professional and has a great eye for design. He submitted some nice layouts for the yard and was a pleasure to work with. The patio is beautiful; I wish we had more stonework for him. I heartily recommend.
Description of Work: Consultation, design, excavation, installation of drainage system and flagstone patio. Also constructed stone planters along the front of house. Roger spent a great deal of time researching the best materials to use for drainage, and we have not had a problem since installation. He also helped us pick the best stone for the project.

The whole project couldn't have gone any smoother! There weren't any surprises and Roger and Chris went above and beyond their call of duty the entire project. Roger was helpful with suggestions and holds his work to the highest standards. Roger even brought us special salt for the stone and had great suggestions on the maintenance and care of the blue stone. He is very knowledgeable and has an eye for laying the stone just right!
Description of Work: London Stoneworks installed an irregular shaped blue stone side patio(@ 300 sq. ft.), a blue stone front walk(@ 120 sq. ft.), and a stepping stone path(@75 ft.)to and from the side yard. They were here for approximately 3 weeks and worked from the early am to the evening. We were so impressed with Roger and Chris' work and couldn't be happier with our new blue stone patio and walks. They did a phenomenal job!

London Stoneworks removed our existing wood deck and put in a new patio with stone pavers. This required several days worth of work leveling the area and preparing the space for the stone to be put in. We received great guidance regarding the layout and selection of the stone. All the work was conducted in a friendly and professional manner. We would definitely work with LS again!

Roger is excellent. He is thoughtful in his planning and careful to ask the right questions. He shows up on time, weather permitting, and does quality work. In this case he took time to note that the concrete was previously pitched toward the house and that created some rot, which had to replaced before he moved forward. He was able to put the proper pitch on the lilac stone patio to drain the water away from the house. The patio looks great and we have him come back for some additional work adding some more stone in place of concrete.
Description of Work: Roger and London Stoneworks removed a 10 x 10 concrete slab patio and installed a larger lilac stone patio to match an existing lilac stone walkway. Roger also adjusted some existing stone and laid it out into a random pattern that looks great.

Roger first came with the landscaper during the winter. Together they designed a plan. Later Roger brought me samples of the block for the patio and the stone for the path. He also gave me the name of the supplier so that I could look at large numbers of samples to determine the color that I wanted. The workmen did an outstanding job of installing the patio and the path. They were there early every day and worked all day. I also appreciated that they removed their shoes when they came in to use the bathroom.
Description of Work: Roger and his crew cleared the entire back yard of the grass. They laid the block patio and installed a bluestone pathway through the remainder of the yard. Before the patio block was laid, they installed a foundation for the block.

Roger has been a pleasure to work with on this project from start to finish. After the initial call, he quickly came out to look at yard and consult with us; and followed up promptly with a detailed proposal. It took a few weeks to get on his schedule for installation due to the fact that the company is very busy, but once he gave us a final date for the work, the schedule never changed. The final product looks great. I would highly recommend him.
