Tim Pancake and his crew were top notch from start to finish. Communication could not be any better. When they ran into an issue or something that they didn't feel would look right, I received a call immediately so that we could make the final decision together. Tim put together a very nice, well thought out design package and the end result was fantastic.
Description of Work: Design and installation of brick paver patio.
Tim Pancake came to my home and explained everything to me in full detail. We discussed what I wanted and he thought of the plans. The men that came to do the work were extremely professional and courteous and very knowledgable. My house looks amazing and is the talk of the neighborhood. I have used this company before to build a water feature in my backyard and that also turned out better than any of my expectations!!!!

I know it is a busy time of year for landscapers, but I couldn't get anyone to return my calls to even get a quote. Even if they didn't want to quote my job, a call to that effect would have been appreciated.
Description of Work: Nothing. I couldn't get anyone to call me back.

Response from The Cornerstone Landscape Group
We regret that (removed member name) did not receive a call back from us. We have diligently searched and have not found record of him calling us, but that does not mean he did not call. However, we know for sure he did not contact us through Angie's List. Regardless, we must have made a mistake on our end. While we would enjoy batting a perfect 1,000, looks like that's a tough reality to accomplish! Please refer to our other Angie's List reviews to see how we normally take care of customers. Again, (removed member name) we apologize you were overlooked. Given the busy time of year, as second call in from you would have been courteous on your part, but should not have been required. Hopefully you found another suitable company to serve you well.

They had to repipe the fountain since pipes had frozen. They redesigned the piping to make it easier to drain in the future to prevent freezing. It took them a few hours and it now works perfectly.
Description of Work: I hired them to fix an outdoor water fountain/feature.

Not only the owner of Cornerstone is named Tim, but also the friendly and helpful young landscape architect who worked closely with me and developed all the plans. Tim the landscape architect was readily available and easy to work with; he took my very basic ideas and worked up beautiful computer-generated options and photos for landscaping and shrubs adjoining the patio, options I found really helpful, attractive and reasonably affordable. When the patio was installed by Cornerstone's crew, Tim the landscape architect was on-site for practically the whole project. Since the patio was installed adjoining a backyard slope, given the inclination necessary for proper drainage, afterwards I thought the effect looked a little odd, like the patio was sliding down the hill (an optical effect only). When I contacted Cornerstone with my aesthetic concerns, Tim the owner and Tim the landscape architect came out to confer with me. They checked the patio installation and found it as was necessary for proper drainage and alignment with surrounding sidewalks. But Tim the owner insisted he wanted me to be happy with Cornerstone's project, and, at no cost, would make alterations to make me happy. They'd even tear up the patio and put it in differently with all new pavers, a drastic course of action I surely didn't want. Instead, I chose a different option Cornerstone offered--building up part of the backyard with lots more dirt and seeded grass, and building an additional flowerbed, shrubs and metal edging around another edge of the patio, so it is contained and would seem to be nestling in a mini-garden. This all was done by Cornerstone a month or so after the original patio was laid. Now it's Spring, and I can see the results are outstanding! The patio looks great. And nestled. And I can sit on the patio surrounded on three sides by beautiful flowering shrubs. Cornerstone told me they wanted me to be happy with their work--and I am really happy! I highly recommend Cornerstone Landscaping.
Description of Work: Cornerstone is Fort Wayne's local franchisee for Unilock concrete paver installation. Unilock is the premier concrete paver system and I hired Cornerstone to build my modest backyard patio (ca. 15' x 12') because of its Unilock connection and experience and its two year warranty for a patio (if an installed patio has problems, they should become evident during the first two years). Cornerstone also provided landscaping around the patio, including flowering shrubs, flower beds, and metal edging. They also built up one side of the backyard with soil and planted grass on it, to eliminate some of the slope next to the patio and provide a pleasing effect.

Our experience with Tim and his company was excellent. During the design phase, Tim had good ideas, helpful suggestions and things to watch out for all of which made the overall construction better. They provided CAD drawings that provided a variety of visuals which was very helpful to us in finalizing our plans. When construction began, the crew worked hard in the summer heat, could not have been nicer and professional. They worked with us on minor issues. If something wasn't done exactly the way that we wanted they were able to make changes without an increase in cost. We would use them again in a heartbeat. The projected exceeded our expectations.
Description of Work: The services that Tim Pancake did for us was to design and build a pergola over our upper patio.
