In less than 48-hours after his visit, a detailed quote arrived by email. The quote was fair and we could tell by their previous work that they were qualified for the project.

They were efficient, friendly, and had all the equipment to do the job right. I highly recommend working with Cornerstone Home & Hardscapes.

I hired him to reconstruct two stone planters that were done by "It's Just Grass" a landscaper…read more That did shotty work and it started falling apart before his one-year verbal warranty ran out. He said it would have to be after the first of the year. (Being 2026.) That was the last time I heard from him. So, I hired, Cody Faircloth with Cornerstone Home and hardscapes to rebuild the two into one bigger one that used all of the stones, from the two original. Cody came over to check it out. After seeing the problems, He said "Wow! If my guys would have done this bad of a job, I would completely rebuilt them AND GIVE YOU ALL YOUR MONEY BACK!" So, I hired him to do just the one, bigger and he did a worse job of it. He couldn't level it he could not square it (caddy corner to caddy corner) Tried to use cardboard and pebbles to level it to no avail. It's a mess. He brought his two little boys with him to the job site again, and I told him NO it's a safety hazard and I won't be liable if they get hurt. So he sent them to his truck out in the street in 90-degree heat to sit in a hot truck with no A/C on. Then he had them shoveling dirt off of a trailer and into a wheel barrel, in the street. Then he just packed up his equipment and left the mess for me to clean up. I texted him twice to ask him if he was done with the job. No answer. A couple of day later I texted him and ask if he was coming back to finish and again. NO answer he left without notice. I'm really getting tiered of these flakes you send me.
