I chose Blaney Stonework to do the job because he was able to describe his vision of transforming my backyard into a beautiful space starting with a one of a kind stone retaining wall. The crew was prompt, polite, and above all true artists; and they used the finest quality stone. He listened to me and added his own design ideas to make the final product exceptionally functional and aesthetically unique.

Mr. Blaney and his crew did a simply outstanding job with all aspects of the design and installation of a new landscape for our front and side yard. We had several project goals for a mature yard (new to us): water drainage off of our flat lot, root barrier for a large red oak; removal of overgrown plants, 3 trees, and tons of loose river rock; simplified flower bed design, stone edging for aesthetics and to reduce weeds; and plants better adapted to our property conditions. Mr. Blaney’s experience and artistry came together to address all our goals. He is a master with stone and rock! We have beautiful beds, a large patio, sidewalk, and a new front porch that is just a jewel. His crew was very reliable, experienced, fast, and just awesome masons. The work was done according to the plan we all agreed to; there were no financial surprises. Plus, it was a lot of fun working with these folks – they are so good at what they do and are passionate about the quality of their work. We are thoroughly delighted with our new yard and look forward to working with Blaney Stonework again, on our backyard.

Description of Work: They did some stoneworks and put in brickwall around our fence, and redid our backyard
We recently had our front yard completely redone by Blaney Stonework. We have gone from a home no one noticed to the talk of the neighborhood! From the architecture plan Forrest created to the end result, it is beyond anything my husband and I could have imagined. (Pictures just don't do it justice.) This was honestly one of the best experiences I have ever had with a contractor of any kind. We have remodeled our home from floor to ceiling over the last 10 years so I have dealt with around 15 different contractors and Forrest and his crew were by a mile the best I have ever worked with. You could tell every person on his team took the utmost pride in their work. Each was happy to talk to me, tell me what they were doing. Construction, especially to the extent we had, is never pleasant but I cannot imagine an experience any better than what we had. I will always recommend these guys.

This went very smoothly. I met with Mr. Blaney and he gave me his vision as to what needed to be done. Once everything was decided and a date was set, it took only ONE day for them to transform my garden!
Description of Work: My backyard garden needed some serious work. It was overrun with weeds and yuccas that got bigger than I expected. I let Mr. Blaney take the wheel and his suggestions have created the most wonderful garden to go alongside my pool. They took an eyesore into something to gawk over, and I'm proud to have people over this summer, thanks to transformation in my backyard. Thank you Mr. Blaney!

I am delighted with the results produced by Forrest Blaney and his crew. Forrest is truly a professional landscape architect. He has an excellent crew who produce quality results with stonework and landscaping layout and planting. They know how to do things "the right way". The flooding in the one side of our lawn has been eliminated. Our property has gone from dreary and boring to beautiful thanks to Forrest's creative vision.

They did a beautiful job. We had asked for native plants needing little watering. After several years it all still looks great and we get compliments all the time. Mr Blaney is just a pleasure to work with and he does only the highest quality work. We are delighted and would absolutely recommend this company.
Description of Work: They have done landscaping as well as stone work on the walk and porch. They also put in some boulders.
Forrest (what an apt name!) and his crew are top-notch. They showed up early every day and worked hard all day. Forrest LOVES what he does and is always happy to take you on a little tour, explaining the process, progress and materials. He works just as hard as his crew; no dropping in periodically to check on things...he's there. And his crew are artists with the stone; they really have an eye for what they do. We wanted something rustic, like what Mother Nature would do if she was in the business of building walls, and they delivered. Pricey? Yes, but worth every penny. We will enjoy our yard for many years to come. What a treat to find an honest businessman who won't skimp on quality. Highly, highly recommend!!!
Description of Work: Complete overhaul of front yard. Retaining walls built (flower beds), front porch extended out and widened, small flagstone patio, river rock "stream", new plantings.

Everything went really well. They did a great job. I was very picky about the color of the stone and they were very patient. They worked with me on the color schemes and were very accommodating to my tastes, which I appreciated. They were on time, checked with me often to make sure I was happy with the progress as they worked and I'm very satisfied.

The stonemason was amazing and transformed an unusable area into a user-friendly access to upper and lower outdoor space. It truly transformed an eye-sore and unstable stone staircase. Forrest was easy to work with, following through with everything we discussed and on the job site daily. Project took a few days longer than expected, but was definitely worth it to get it done properly. Also, start date was extended out considerably, but now that the project is done, we are so happy I can't think anything but positive thoughts about Blaney Stonework! Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.
Description of Work: We live on a creek lot and our backyard is very unique. Our project was a repair of existing stonework, including removing a waterfall and set of steps and rebuilding a winding outdoor staircase. The retaining wall was partially rebuilt to replace waterfall area. A new walking path on upper area was created to replace a make-do path to accommodate waterfall.
