I had a fantastic experience working with Chris to upgrade my walkway entrance. The existing walkway and steps were long overdue for some attention. Chris designed and meticulously executed the construction of new steps and two beautiful stone lighting columns. His extraordinary craftsmanship helped bring my rough ideas to life. We continue to get compliments on a regular basis from people we meet in the neighborhood on the work that he did. I would highly recommend Chris. He was very easy to work, responsive, and charged a very fair rate for his services.

Excellent work always does a great job at a fair cost. After years not one paver has moved or settled. The base of our patio was done very well much thicker then others I have seen. It's all about the base and prep work to create a long lasting beutiful project.

Chris is excellent to work with. He definitely is an expert in this field. We went back and forth several times and bounced ideas off each other, making sure I was completely happy with the final design. Installation went smoothly. He finished on time and on budget. I get allot of compliments on my patio. Definitely would hire again. Great work.

Excellent! Job well done! The cleaning and edging was done the first day and the mulching and finishing touches were done the next. Chris and his crew were great to work with, very professional. They took great care doing all aspects of the job and the finished results show. The landscaping all around our home looks like it was just put in... very fresh and manicured. We'll definitely be calling them back next spring!

We were considering removing a large above ground pool. Chris responded promptly, reviewed the site and presented several options for landscaping the area with a small water feature. We ultimately decided to keep our pool, but we would highly recommend Chris and consider him for future projects.

We met with several contractors. There were many who could not see the vision and did not think the work we wanted to do was possible. Then there was Chris. He quickly saw our vision and had quality work at a more than fair price. We knew we had found a contractor that was reliable and would give us a backyard to enjoy for years. The project was very large and had to be completed in phases due to the amount of work, weather, and accessibility of the materials we wanted. Chris and his right hand man worked carefully and diligently all project long to ensure everything came out exactly as discussed. I am a very detail oriented person and Chris answered all of my questions and would continuously check in along the way. Thanks to Chris, we now have a backyard that is perfect for entertaining. Family and friends can't believe the transformation. Since our large project we have hired Chris for additional landscape work and would not hesitate to hire him again. If you are looking for someone who does a quality job, Chris from Corner Stone Gardens is the guy for you.
Description of Work: My husband and I hired Chris for a large project in our backyard. Our backyard was a mess before Chris came in and gave us the backyard of our dreams. We had a large retention pond in the middle of our yard that made the backyard not only unusable, but an eyesore. Another issue was the hill that came down from our driveway to the backyard. It was very steep and made accessing the yard from the driveway difficult. We also had to have a deck built off of our kitchen in order to access the backyard. This was a huge project and we were nervous we would find someone who could see our visions, have reasonable pricing with quality work, and work well with our deck builder as the project work as intertwined. The goal of our project was to remove the retention pond but still maintain proper drainage, add a large paver patio with sitting wall, have easy access to the deck from the paver patio, and build a wall with builders to correct the hill issue,

He started a little past his suggested date because of the incessant rain this summer. Once he and his crew started they worked for 5 long days wading in the frigid water sucking out the bottom accumulated muck using a dewatering bag (so the water could easily return to the pond) and hand weeding the grasses and last using hydraulic cement and native stones repaired the hole in the dam. Big piles of weedy residue were produced which he hauled away. He even hosed the mud off our fence.it took less than 3 hours before the water was back over the dam.$3 One week after he finished the water is clear, the frogs are croaking and the fish are thriving
Description of Work: We have a spring fed pond with a hole in the dam that needed repair. The pond also needed the.. the bottom muck removed and invasive grasses and weeds removed. We also wanted to protect the sunfish, frogs and other life as well as certain plants such as water iris and waterlilies.

Chris and his helpers did an amazing job on the yard. There were several add ons that came up along the way and Chris helped us to make reasonable decisions about the yard and what it needed. He and his workers always came to work when expected and got the job done even more quickly than we had anticipated. We are very pleased with the results an would highly recommend Corner Stone Gardens.
Description of Work: We needed a completely neglected backyard to be brought back to life. There was a large pit near the deck that needed to be filled in and made secure. The underside of the deck needed to be closed in. The existing trees and shrubs were completely overgrown. The walkway to the yard was treacherous and an eyesore.

While we ultimately decided to go with a different contractor, I was sufficiently impressed with Corner Stone's response speed, professionalism, and the thoroughness of the quote (especially the walkway) that I felt I needed to write this positive review. I would definitely recommend Corner Stone.

I have been researching this job for 3 years, calling many "chimney sweep" guys whom I realized were totally incapable of doing this sort of work (which is re-building the chimney) because the the top of the chimney had loose bricks and had a big crack down the middle. EVERY ONE of these guys said "I'll just squirt some silicone caulk in the crack" (!) Also, except one, NONE of them even bothered to go up on a ladder and investigate the job before giving me a quote! (none of them was an Angie's Lister by the way) I was "low balled" and "high balled" by these guys from $750 to $2,500 and they were only going to patch things up. NO SALE! The lesson to be learned is this: If you have a masonry job - get a mason. There is no substitute. Due to the diligence and detail oriented mindset of Chris and Ed, I got a terrific job that enhanced my home's value. The work was very difficult because all those mortar joints have to be ground out by hand, and replaced with color matched mortar that looks "normal" and consistent with the house. The main chimney now looks brand new, which is saying something because it was a unique white brick and it is the first thing you see when you approach the house. The utility chimney in the back of the house(for the oil heat) was also in bad shape. Chris had to use stronger and stronger cleaning agents to get the tenacious soot off of the red bricks, eventually resorting to an acid etch solution. In addition, they always cleaned up before they left for the day. This is important for a homeowner's safety and peace of mind. It means the employer and employees care about your property. NO cursing, NO loud talking or radio blasting. Professional from start to finish and that is how I like doing business.
Description of Work: 1 powerwashed exterior 2 chimneys using a lift machine using progressively stronger cleaning detergents to remove black soot and discoloration. 2 Main chimney was dismantled and new bricks installed from my leftover supply that the previous owners left. Top Cap repaired. 3 Both chimneys had mortar ground out and repointed. Waterproofing applied. 4 Repaired a damaged gutter from last year's winter storm (approx. 30') 5 Removed old stone and added new stone facade pieces to foundation to match the new patio installed last year.

I called some outfits to get quotes and had a good response and decided on Chris Speidel of Corner Stone Gardens. We reviewed my needs and wants and with his input put together a preliminary proposal. I had accepted that tentatively until some further thought and input, mostly from Chris, developed an enhancement that would increase the results more than the first plan. I accepted the idea and we scheduled the job. I was greeted that day on time by Chris and his assistant and they started that was it except for me taking a peek at the progress. A few hours later Chris asked for me to take a look at the finished product. I did and it was perfect. Cannot get better than that.
Description of Work: I had a retaining wall put in and the result to my landscaped area that bordered was terminal. I needed to get the portion of the area left over bought up to the level that was better than the original. I wanted a pleasing, maintenance friendly and clean and safe garden after all was completed.
