It is hard for me to put into words the deep appreciation and admiration I have for everyone at The…read moreStone Man for transforming my backyard into my own outdoor oasis. During the planning/ design phase, Chris Davis met with me multiple times, both at my house and on-site at The Stone Man to develop and refine initial sketches. Working with me to understand what my dream goal would be, and finding a way to get the design completed within budget was greatly appreciated. Chris remained professional and patient with me throughout the planning phase, and his work was greatly appreciated. Once the construction began, Jon Purdue and team worked diligently on-site around the clock to transform our design vision into reality; and did the final result exceed expectations! I have confidence the team can complete any project, large or small, after seeing the work completed. The team developed the following: - Retaining wall designed in variable height from approx. 4 feet to 6 feet (to meet an architecture design I requested) - Large covered area with a fireplace, wet bar, and bar seating for 4 - Outdoor kitchen equipped with a custom designed brick oven - Outdoor fire pit with a seating wall, and additional seating for 4 adirondack chairs - Large paver area, complete with matching stone trim, which ties into countertops, fireplace, fire pit, etc. The daily workers on-site (led by Leo) are truly artist at their profession. One advantage of working from home during the pandemic was to be able to see the team hand chipping stone and building truly one of a kind masterful pieces. Jon did an exceptional job managing the project, checking in with me via phone or on-site multiple times a week. When sub-contractors came on-site to complete the work, they presented the same professionalism as the team from The Stone Man. Through conversations with the various sub-contractors, it was evident The Stone Man team performs a lot of reoccurring work with these groups, and the quality of work and professionalism exemplified by the team at The Stone Man was cascaded throughout all groups involved. Post-production, both Jon and Chris continue to check-in to ensure the work quality remains. Whether it be phone calls, text, hand written notes, or stopping by for small adjustments, this team is committed to excellence from start to finish and beyond. Throughout the process, not only did I gain a backyard design beyond my wildest dreams but I truly did gain friends that I hope to have over for a drink/ food to admire their work and realize how happy I am with the finished product. If you are looking for a professional and personable team who delivers the highest of quality work, look no further than The Stone Man. I did lots of research on others as well as this team, and am happy with the decision to proceed with the team.

The process of meeting with them was great, we started the design process, and a rough estimate was delivered which met our budget. When we did all our material selection, the final estimate was very close to our rough project estimate which was great - no surprise costs. Communication was great and when the project started our project manager was in contact with us every day until completion. We had periodic touchpoints to make sure we were happy, and they quickly resolved any questions we had. The masons were great, clean, professional, and considerate. From start to finish we couldn't be happier with the process, and the final product. One thing that stands out to me was how engaged the whole company was with our project. They make you feel like you are the only project they have, which is light years better than some other contactors we have worked with. We have already recommended them to a few friends and will be utilizing them again in the future when we decided to complete our project.

But the reason for the one-star review was for his lack of responsibility for the damage he caused that he refused to acknowledge and take responsibility for. He required 50% down before he even started the work, and then he sent me two emails and a text within 24 hours after the completion of the job for the remaining balance before I was even able to respond. I paid the bill right away. But when I called him later about an issue that was clearly caused by his work, he was very quick to deny responsibility. He did not even want to come over to investigate the issue nor did he want me to send him the photos and video I offered to send. He was already paid in full, so he was not interested in any issues he may have caused. Because of his lack of integrity, I would not use him again nor would I recommend him to anyone.

First I had a difficult time communicating with them. It took me multiple times reaching out to…read morethem to confirm what day they were coming. One of the days they were scheduled to come I had to text them the day before to check because it had rained and I didn't get a response back til 8am the morning of the appointment saying it had been rained out from the day prior. After we finally got a date, I didn't hear the day before what time I should expect the crew. I texted that morning asking and got told 30 minutes before they showed up. The crew was very polite any time we had to engage while they were on site. They made sure to ask me where exactly the sod was going. I asked if they could remove a small stump where the sod was going and if they couldn't I would remove it. They kindly said they could. Once going to pay my invoice I noticed they had a charge of $350 for debris removal but no debris were removed and I was never asked if I wanted them to take the debris which I would have said no. I ended up sharing the camera recording that showed nothing was removed! This ended up getting removed as they said there was confusion and that taking away the pallets from the soil & sod from the site was not considered debris. The sod looked great post laying down however two days later when we went to install the sprinkler system we were stunned to see what was underneath. I had been charged $400 for top soil, if you look at the pictures there is hardly any top soil under the sod. I was told they would prep the ground but yet you see rocks, sticks, etc so the ground was not moved though it's claimed to have been raked. The backyard is that tough clay like dirt so it needs to be roughed and prepped to ensure its growth. It's apparent it was not. When sharing the videos and photos with the company asking for resolution or partial refund. I got told that this was up to their standard, they did the proper prep and there was $400 worth of top soil there. I also got told they already gave me a discount by removing the debris charge!! Though there were not debris removed and were now saying the pallets did count as removal. No partial refund or even correction of the work they did. I unfortunately will not be using them again though I originally had considered using them for my front lawn later in the year.

We hired Outdoor Contracting to remediate MAJOR grading and drainage issues on our 1+ acre property…read morethat required complete re-engineering in order to save our new home. We should have never had to deal with these issues from this builder and land development company, but that is subject outside this specific review. Outdoor Contracting was exceptional in how they investigated the many issues, devised remediation plans, and then meticulously implemented them in the most challenging of winter and early spring wet weather conditions. Our problems were vast and directly damaging to our brand new house foundation. The project involved necessary tree removal, approximately 200 truckloads of soil, deep trenching, regrading many areas of the property, installation of protective berms, installation of large commercial sized underground drains attached to several surface catch basins, and regrading around the house foundation to achieve positive slope along with related added foundation waterproofing. A combination of rip rap and river rock was brought in around installed drainage culverts and protective berms, which routes all previously uncontrolled rainwater dumped onto our property from all sides and the previous foundation flooding water directly into the community storm drain system. At various points of this project new issues were uncovered that had to be solved. The team would immediately engage us for onsite meetings to review the problem and approval for any additional solutions. Once all the extensive drainage and grading engineering solutions were in implemented, Outdoor Contracting installed irrigation and electrical conduits ahead of the landscape install. The landscaping/beautification phase was such a relief and joy. We coordinated with the team on extensive large/mature sized hedging along all the installed berms, dozens of large trees, numerous ornamental trees, and tons of beautiful perennials. We also had fescue sod installed on approximately 2/3 off our new designated lawn area, which was done in June. This is not an ideal time of year to install cool season sod, but Outdoor contracting made sure we had an effective irrigation schedule setup and treatments like kelp and fungicide to prevent loss. We ended up having the greenest, healthiest lawn this summer in spite of temps in the upper 90s. We also had them install a high quality wood encasement fence at the back of the property. They used 6x6 posts and screws vs nails to ensure the fence would withstand the test of time. They then also installed a beautiful stone walk path from our driveway to our back porch. We have already discussed some fall and winter projects with the team to complete additional landscaping items that we simply ran out time to complete earlier. Everything this company has done for us has been to the highest standard. These men worked in cold, rain, and endless amounts of deep mud. They endured harsh weather conditions and occasionally some ridiculous nonsense by a couple foul acting persons interrupting their work. Opposite of that nonsense, they loved talking and sharing with various interested parties who stopped by to positively inquire on progress and ask specific questions about the landscaping. We owe our peace of mind to this company. Where once we walked our property and looked outside our windows in complete and utter despair, we now have relief and pride. If you want these type of projects done correctly, permanently, and beautifully hire Outdoor Contracting. We could not recommend this team more highly. https://www.facebook.com/tiff.hawks/posts/pfbid02hFTaQEbU7E64maHmwXzri5LMcCWu4j6QPojAZvQW9FpKw39rwNnU8x5MiMQuVaJ7l
