Thank you to Dave and his crew for the work they did to remove and install a new retaining wall in the backyard. All work had to be done by hand as they were not able to get machinery into the backyard. We are very pleased with the result. The team was very courteous and respectful of our property. We're looking forward to having them do some landscaping for us in the spring.

#1 Stonescaping redesigned and built our back patio which had been falling apart and was beyond salvage. These guys did an excellent job I am very glad I chose them for this project. From the initial quote I could tell Dave and Chuck understood what I wanted and I felt confident it would come out that way. They gave a price cheaper or in line with other quotes and throughout the construction there were no surprise costs. They provided me a timeline they would start and likely finish, and sure enough work started and finished according to that.
This is an honest hardworking crew that keeps their word. The work came out fabulous. I feel I had their full attention during construction and could raise questions or concerns as needed. Dave is a better communicator than most contractors I've worked with and texts updates/timelines/plans which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend them without hesitation.

#1 Stonescaping did a new walkway, new patio lighting and steps at our house. Dave, Chuck and Curtis came everyday and have a very strong work ethic. They take pride in their workmanship and it shows in all the little details. I could not be happier with the outcome, attention to detail, communication with both Dave and Chuck along the way. They are knowledgeable and just a pleasure to have working at your house. Every day, our yard was left clean and everything was tidy. Excellent to work with - you won't be disappointed! Now I need to do another walkway because I was so happy how this turned out.

David and his crew created a beautiful patio with pavers to complement our new gazebo. Working with David was a pleasure from the start.
His crew worked tirelessly to ensure we were pleased throughout the entire process. They began work as expected and completed the project with the timeframe stated. These men are true Old-World craftsmen, who go the extra step and take pride in their work. They even took time to landscape the area around the gazebo to ensure a truly beautiful finished product. We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping and look forward to hiring them again for our next outdoor project.

#1 Stonescaping has built a reputation of integrity, great workmanship and professionalism. I met with Dave and Chuck last fall to discuss my backyard patio. I had just taken down my pool and wood deck and needed their expertise. Doing this for many years has afforded them the ability to envision and build a creative project. I chose the color of the patio pavers and let them do what they do best. My patio and fire pit was recently completed and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. They exceeded my expectations. They landscaped around the patio so it blended in with my wooded backyard. They were hardworking, honest and reliable. I would give them my highest recommendation and know that you would not be disappointed. Thank you again.
— Josette Guastella
Dave and his guys did an incredible job on our patio. From the start he was knowledgeable, polite, and most importantly did exactly what he said he was going to do. It is very difficult to find someone like Dave who takes pride in his work, which definitely shows in the finished product. I for one would highly recommend that you give Dave a call if you want your project to be a showstopper. Kudos to Dave and the crew!

Perfect! From start to finish and then some! Dave and Chuck were incredible to work with from the estimate to the finished product.
The thoughtful care of our property as they completed the work was just as one always hopes for when contracting work to be done, but often is left lacking. These gentlemen delivered. Professional, skilled, friendly and thorough, the new patio is exactly as we had hoped thanks to the knowledgeable recommendations provided at time of estimate and through answered questions along the way.
Upon completion of work each day, our property was left in great condition with dust and debris cleared and materials stored neatly until the next day. I cannot impress enough, how fortunate we feel to have made the choice to use this company. Personable and friendly, while maintaining the utmost professionalism.
Thank you Dave and Chuck and crew!

We contacted #1 Stonescaping to ask about getting a new stone patio in our back yard. Dave was prompt in answering my call. He was very knowledgeable and took the time with helping me design my patio. Dave and his crew arrived at my house when they said that they would be there. We are very happy with the way our patio looks. This company is very reliable and I would highly recommend them.
— Mary Jane Mokszycki
The guys did a great job on our retaining wall and steps! They were a pleasure to work with, friendly, hard working, came around the same time every day, and were respectful of the property. Dave was very nice to talk with and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them.
— Alisha Bouchard
The name #1 Stonescaping says it all is all. One and done, they are really that good. Dave answers any questions you might have about your project and gives you a realtime completion date. Next Dave and his highly experienced crew of artisans arrive and perform Old School Artwork on your outdoor space. When the job is completed everything is clean and neatly finished in every detail. Enjoyed meeting Dave and his crew and will be asking them back again to complete more projects.
— Hans Pennink
Dave, Chuck , and their crew were prompt, courteous, and answered all questions about redoing our patio and stone steps, and installing a new front walk.
— Rich Casagrande
We recently hired Dave and his staff to design and install a patio /terrace to serve as a dedication to the owners of our organization. We gave him a budget, a timeline, and an idea. He delivered the final product on budget, on time, and a produced a design that surpassed our expectations. Thank you Dave, we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome!
— Tom Sargent
We couldn't be happier with the work done by David and his great crew.
Our front walkway looks beautiful and turned out just as we discussed! Almost as important, is the fact that David was 100 percent reliable and responsive from the first time I called for information until the very end of the job. He showed up when he said he would ! (I wish this weren't a note-worthy attribute, but in our experience, it most certainly is.) He was flexible when I asked for a "little change" in the middle of the work, and he has a great sense of humor!

Are you looking for a company with integrity and an incomparable work ethic? Then #1 Stonescaping is the only way to go. The crew is kind, considerate and show an old school sense of pride in their work, which is so hard to find these days. They undertook a major project for us, creating a backyard with three different gorgeous patio areas that we will enjoy for many years to come. Every step of the project was done with meticulous care and we could not be happier with the end results. If you want your project done right, choose #1 Stonescaping. They are good people.
— Kristy Hood
It took me some time to find a landscaper to do my yard. Dave was the ONLY one that returned my call. I am glad he reached out because his professionalism is top notch. He provided recommendations based on his expertise and the results were amazing. His crew was always on time and very friendly. The yard looks amazing and so much better than what I had pictured. I love their work so much, I planned on hiring them again for future projects. #1 Stonescaping is best the business, and I am very happy with the results of their craftsmanship.
— Phyonne Reynolds

I don't even know where to begin. We decide to redo our back yard into an outdoor kitchen. We were so nervous about hiring a contractor these days. It's difficult to find someone that you can trust and that will have your best interest at heart. My husband and I chose #1 Stone scaping for these reasons. The experience they bring speaks for themselves. They are honest and loyal to their customers. We were impressed with Dave's honesty and integrity from the start! Cant find those qualities these days. You definitely will get what you want with the workmanship of both Curtis and Chuck. Curtis and Chuck kept the job site always clean! They are hardworking and dedicated! I can't say enough of both of them! We will be having them back for a BBQ! The entire crew were amazing to work with. You will NOT be disappointed! We will have them back for more. We even decided to have are Landscaping done with them as well!

When we reached out to #1 Stonescaping & Landscaping David came out within a few days. We had a patio/ sitting wall/fire pit and sidewalks that needed to be refurbished or completely replaced.
After several discussions with David and reviewing all the options we decided to completely renovate our backyard.
Our overall experience on the project has been Excellent!
David listened to our vision and incorporated his expertise to create an outdoor living space just perfect for us.
David informed us that the project would be completed in 6 weeks, and to our very pleasant surprise the project was completed in 5 1/2 weeks. (which we were not used to when dealing with contractors). Dave is so nice and has a great sense of humor which makes the entire process so much easier and enjoyable. David returned our calls and responded to our email and texts promptly.
David also made sure that we had fantastic sub-contractors from the electrician, iron railing company and fire pit/gas line company all lined up.
Very few times do you actually get the service you expect. With #1 Stonescaping & Landscaping, David, Chuck and Curtis went above and beyond our expectations. David was in constant communication so we knew what was happening and when. We were impressed with the timeliness and quality of their workmanship ( Shout out to Chuck for his amazing skills cutting and laying the stone). David accommodated several last- minute changes and/or additions.
#1 Stonescaping & Landscaping crew worked quickly and efficiently and were professional and respectful of our home. They were very friendly and approachable for questions and cleaned up at days’ end to the point you couldn’t even tell they were there.
It is so nice to be able to enjoy our backyard again. We highly recommend David and the crew of #1 Stonescaping & Landscaping and we look forward to using them again next summer to replace our outdoor kitchen.
We wouldn’t hire anyone else to construct our outdoor patio because this company’s quality and craftsmanship is outstanding! Express your vision, ask questions and work with David to make your outdoor living area come to life. Nobody does it better! We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping & Landscaping

Dave and his crew were precise and professional in building our front walk and back walk/patio. From start to finish, they did exactly what they promised - the crew showed up on time, were very neat and orderly each day, worked quickly and efficiently, and left the job site cleaner than they found it each night. Dave and his crew are kind and easy to work with. Our end result is beautiful and really does improve the look and value of our home. We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping!
— Sarah and Mike Laster
I have # 1 Stonescaping for my lawn service and also front steps to replace steps from 1963. Stonescaping did an awesome job, from start to finish. We are very happy with the final results. So if you are thinking of having steps, fireplaces anything stone,
give them a call. They are the best and I recommend them to everyone.

My new walkway completely exceeds my expectations! It is now a great feature for what was an otherwise lackluster path. They were very gracious to work with during the design and planning stages. David and his crew were very professional, and the work is high quality and beautiful. You will not be disappointed.
— Margaret Walsh
We needed to replace our existing sidewalk and our adventure started. After scouring the internet for reputable stone/patio/landscapers who could answer our call, we found #1 Stonescaping & Landscaping. Dave Lawler (owner) responded quickly and came over to give us an estimate on our project and right from the beginning, I had a sense of confidence and satisfaction in our selection of a contractor. Dave and his crew showed absolute " dedication " to their trade and ability to fulfill any and all of a customer's needs. They showed up on time when they said, and were polite, professional experts at their trade. They took great care in not only performing the job" flawlessly" but also in protecting our property in the process. The project was completed on time with the utmost dedication to detail and perfection. You will search long and hard but you won't find finer people to fulfill your needs. We couldn't be happier and this company is highly recommended.
— Paul & Diana MacFarland
We LOVE our new, beautiful patio and connected walkways to our garage and art studio! Dave and his team did an amazing job; from design to installation. Their work ethic and professionalism is evidenced by their precision work and timely project completion. They are great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone needing stonescaping services.
— Lynn Couey
We needed to replace a very worn out poorly installed stamped concrete patio. We decided to go with a paver patio and steps installed by #1 Stonescaping.
Dave and his crew, Chuck and Curtis made this experience better than we dreamed of. Our patio and steps are perfect and exactly what we were promised.
The team arrived on the date scheduled and worked straight through the following 8 days to complete our job. (they showed up every day until the work was complete). Everything that was promised was fulfilled, the team was polite, informative and neat. There was hardly any damage to our surrounding lawn & they cleaned up the area at the end of each day.
We could not be happier to highly recommend this company!

We are completely satisfied and appreciative of the fine work done by Dave, Chuck, and Curtis! From the beautiful boulders that border our front gardens, to the stepping stone walkway, and our amazing new patio - all of it came out even better than we could have ever imagined. We highly recommend these fine professionals! Look at their photos or stop by to see their work first hand! Thank you again Dave, Chuck, and Curtis!
— Joe & Patty Gorman
Dave and his team did a great job repairing our bluestone patios and walkway, which needed some serious help! They're "old school" craftsmen who take a lot of pride in doing things the right way. Dave is easy to work with and does exactly what he promises. On budget and on time. In fact, in our case he helped us out by working extra hard to complete the project before we headed out for vacation and my in-laws came to pet-sit. A great experience all around. I highly recommend Dave and #1 Stonescaping for anything you need done!
— David Schultz
I cannot express enough how much I love my new brick walkway! It is just stunning and adds so much to my townhome. Dave and his staff were very professional and very knowledgeable on the work they performed. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their home.
— Donna Valley
We were extremely pleased with the work #1Stonescaping did on our new patio. We’ve been utilizing it daily for relaxing and dining since our completion. We are very appreciative of the fine work Dave, Chuck, and Curtis did. They started when promised and were there every day until completion We’d especially like to recognize Chuck as a master stone mason. His attention to layout, cutting and fitting of the bluestone was super. His eye for the right stone was perfect. We would highly recommend #1Stonescaping for any patio work.
— Bruce Mullen
Dave & crew: not only is your finished product meticulously delivered, but your consumer service is unmatched. Incredibly grateful for you listening to my ideas and visions, sharing your expertise and knowledge, building me a patio, walkway and staircase that surpassed my expectations, all while making the process enjoyable. Your dedication, drive, and strong work ethic are unmatched, and truly a blessing to find in todays' workforce. Without hesitation, I would recommend #1 stonescaping. I look forward to working with Dave and his crew on future projects!

After years of aggravation from cutting grass within our pool enclosure, getting clippings in the pool, and dealing with mud after a rainfall, we decided to install a stone patio. #1 Stonescaping did a marvelous job for us both in advising us about the aesthetics of which stones and trim to use, ground preparation, and the actual installation of the pavers. David and Chuck did fantastic work each day, as they removed old concrete and sod, put in new gravel and prep materials, leveled the area, and removed the debris and cleaned up the site. We should also note that this home improvement project is a good investment, especially at this time. We look forward to years of happy use of our beautiful new patio. Thank you, #1 Stonescaping!
— Tom and Karen Thorpe
The brickwork all around our house was heaving - the old front patio, the fairly new front door stoop and the large old backyard patio. In addition, the backyard lawn had holes from old roots and general sinking. All of it was unsightly and unsafe. We called #1 Stonescaping, realizing that we would probably have to wait until fall to have the corrections made. Dave came to give us an estimate and made sure to ask what our expectations were. He sent us what we considered to be a fair price and told us he might even be able to come by June. We were delighted. In April, Dave and his crew came by and said they could fit us in! They carefully cleaned, replaced and regrouted the brickwork, brought in fill to level the backyard and replaced a flagstone walkway. They showed up on time every day. We were beyond pleased with the outcome of their work. We felt it was like coming home to an HGTV re-model! We whole heartedly recommend this company.
— Anne & Glen Sheffer
We are absolutely thrilled with the work Dave and his crew, Chuck and Shane, did to provide us with a new and magnificent patio and walkway. They were conscientious, respectful, arrived earlier than the date we anticipated and stayed on the job every day until it was finished. Dave is very nice and also has a wonderful sense of humor. We highly recommend him and his company for any stonework you need done.
— Pam Agan-Smith
Dave returns calls, shows up when he says he will, gives recommendations and does spectacular work! We had him create a stone seating area around our pond. It is stunning! Dave and his crew are polite, respectful, trustworthy and true craftsmen. A pleasure to deal with real professionals that are reliable and do superb work that they stand behind. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
— Howie & Ingrid
I just wanted to take a few moments and express my appreciation to Dave and his crew. My wife and I had a 21 year old brick paver front walkway and step that has seen better days. The original walkway was "builders grade"; meaning the base was not adequate; the bricks were spreading apart; there were no edge constraints and the the front step was also sinking towards the house. Dave came to our house twice; once to deliver the estimate and explain the installation process; and again to give us extra help in picking colors and borders (we were indecisive). The installation was completed a week ahead of schedule, and the crew was careful not to disturb our lawn. The colors and style of tech-bloc Dave recommended are perfect! We both love our new walkway and would recommend #1 Stonescaping without hesitation.
— Mike & Julie Surzyn
We are very pleased with the work Dave and his crew did. The stone work in the front and on the side of the house looks terrific. As does the retaining wall in the backyard. We appreciated their punctuality, craftsmanship and the care taken with our property. And, they were a great crew. We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping.
— Ken and Daria Henry
Having read many of the already glowing testimonials there is little we can add, a great crew, a great job, totally satisfied with our new patio, greatly improved rebuilt front wall, rock placement and total clean up and re seeding of grass. Highly recommend #1 Stonescaping.
— Vera and Nick Frangella
My wife and I had planned to have a new stone front walkway installed in addition to an extended stone patio to replace an old and cracked concrete slab that the previous owner had tried to unsuccessfully repair. We had gotten a few estimates and had become frustrated with the spread of prices and the uncertainty of the salesmanship. One day I saw Dave's Stonescaping truck and equipment trailer in front of a house down the street who were also having a walkway replaced. I was immediately impressed by the workmanship that I was observing as well as the equipment that was coming out of the trailer, which also clearly had the name, phone number, and photos of the company's work right on its side. To me, that displayed pride and confidence in their work, unlike other fly by night companies.
The crew took time to answer my questions and I learned that Chuck was the owner's nephew and he has been with his uncle Dave's company for over twenty years, and that Dave has been in the business for over forty years. Furthermore, if I chose to have the project done by them, then Chuck and the crew that I was observing would be doing the actual work. "No brainer," I thought, "What I see is what I'll get." It is rare that you can actually see an example of a contractor's work in progress. So I asked for a card and brochure and made an appointment.
Dave came by one evening and we were immediately taken by his expertise as he gave us design options and suggestions, including colors that would go well with our siding, as well as block and border patterns. He agreed that the old cement stoop would need to be removed, as it was actually inclined towards the foundation. He also reassured us that the new walkway and patio had enough slope for drainage. We found Dave to be knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. He did share with us that we would be waiting a few months, but if we were patient, they would work on Saturdays to complete the project by the fall.
Due to Covid, the supply chain of the major stone manufacturers had been disrupted and the stone that we had liked had been cut back by the particular company that we had chosen. Dave worked with his local supplier and found us the exact same color stone that was in stock from another very reputable and well known worldwide stone manufacturer. As his supplier is a wholesaler not open to the public, Dave dropped off samples to us for our approval.
Indeed, Dave kept his word and the entire project was completed in two consecutive Saturdays. Finally, realizing a potential drainage problem because the project is in an alcove, Dave recommended adding cobble in front of the patio and beside some of the walkway next to the wall. The additional stone is a beautiful complement to the project.
My wife and I are totally pleased with the final result and we highly recommend #1 Stonescaping.

Outstanding job. Dave and his crew did customized stone work ( patio and fire place) in our backyard following the installation of our in ground pool. This was not an easy project but it was perfectly executed and looks great! We will absolutely use Stonescaping for similar type work in the future.
— Jeff Cardone
Words can not truly describe how thrilled my husband and I are with our beautiful new stone patio. Dave, Chuck and team were beyond professional and courteous from start to finish. Dave and Chuck listened and advised us accordingly to achieve the patio of our dreams. They were always friendly, approachable, respectful and safety aware. Our new patio is a work of art, thanks to the diligent and hard work of Dave and Chuck. We cannot thank them enough! We will ONLY ever use #1 stonescaping for future projects.

We are so pleased and excited about the work #1 Stonescaping Dave and Ken did on our property. We recently purchased our Beautifully maintained second Home. But we weren't so Happy with the Landscaping that the previous owner's had installed (Wild Flower Garden). We contacted Dave @ #1 Stonescaping he stopped by to look at what we had. Me and my Wife explained to Dave we're unhappy with what the previous owner's have done to the Landscaping. It was to overly grown wild and high maintenance. We ask Dave if he could come up with a more controlled very low maintenance curbside appeal. That would bring new character to our home and landscaping. Dave assessed the Landscaping said he'd get back to us with a few ideals. We didn't know what designs we wanted so we asked Dave to put his own touch to the Landscaping. And Dave and Kenny did just that an amazing job very professional on time cleaned as they worked. And most importantly treated my property like it was their own. We are SUPER EXCITED with the outcome and we can't wait to get #1 Stonescaping on our backyard project for next summer. Hats off to a job well done.
— Virgil & Iquinta Terry
This is the second time we’ve had Dave, Chuck and the crew working at our home. This time they removed a 16+ year old deck that had seen better days. The guys removed the deck, prepped the area and had a new patio installed in less than two days. We are so happy with the results! Can’t thank them enough for their hard work.
— Barb Carroll
Dave, Chuck and the team did a fantastic job redoing a patio and walkway in the backyard. They were reliable, hardworking and were flexible in helping us with all of our needs. We really appreciated their attention to detail, their willingness to work out issues with us and for their creativity. They also made a point to clean up and made sure everything was finished properly.
They respected our needs and our property and went over and above of
what we were asking for.
We highly recommend them!

We absolutely love our beautiful new patio! Our entire experience with Dave, Chuck and team was wonderful - they responded immediately to our initial request for quote, helped with stone style/color selection, and completed the work in the timeframe they had promised. Not only is the patio perfect but they re-seeded disturbed areas, didn't get a spec of dirt in the pool which is only a few feet away, and made suggestions about new plantings! These guys are the best!
— Danielle Joyce
Our experience with the #1 Stonescaping was as stress-free as possible and led to stunning results, as we are sure the other reviews can attest to. Dave, Chuck and Tom were a pleasure to work with and were always ready to give us professional advice on our plans whenever we needed them. The team was efficient and delivered high-quality results, clearly showing their dedication to the job. The final product [steps with lighting, walkway and wall] was everything we envisioned and we cannot thank them enough! We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping for anyone out there and will be using them ourselves in the future too!
— Luba Mikhailova
The #1 Stonescaping team led by Dave and Chuck displayed a high-level of professionalism, experience, dedication and commitment to quality as if they were building the patio for their own home. They allowed for a collaborative design process that married our initial ideas with their thought-out suggestions to fulfill our vision perfectly. They also remained available for communication throughout the duration of the project making them enjoyable to work with. The project started in the exact timeframe that they estimated and was completed in less time than we anticipated. Accessibility was a challenge but #1 Stonescaping came up with creative solutions for access without any fence removal. They also made an extra effort to minimize lawn disturbance with any minor disturbances being restored. It was reassuring to work with a group that is trustworthy and performs like a well-oiled machine. The transformation of our backyard truly reflects #1 Stonescaping’s capabilities. We are very pleased with the project and would highly recommend them.

David and his crew (Chuck, Tom, Cliff ...) just completed the building of a retaining wall at my home. Included in this project was the removal of an old wall and complete reconstruction and new footprint for the new wall. Job completed in 1 week, actually 6 working days. This was no small feat since the old wall took 2 of those days to remove and regrade the site. All workers on site were absolutely beyond excellent, extremely professional, meticulous and daily updated me on their progress. Each day they left the site cleaner than when the project started. Finished wall exceeded my expectations. Also getting a lot of compliments from neighbors, several of which may be future customers. #1 Stonescaping has completed many projects in my neighborhood and there are many repeat customers which says it all. Highly highly recommend!
— Cathryn Levine
We were referred to Dave and his crew and now we will be referring them too! They were timely with an estimate, it was in line with what were expecting, and they came to do our patio and walkway when they said they would! Communication was great, and they are certainly masters at their craft. We even had to go away for a couple of days while they were working on it, and we had no concerns that it was being done right - you just have a good feeling about it! We have some future projects planned and they will definitely be our "go to" for those. Thank you for a gorgeous covered patio, Dave and crew! We love it and have already gotten so many compliments.
— Judi Gabler
Trust them! They know what they are doing. We are repeat customers. After they installed a breathtaking stone wall planter in the front of the house, we requested an encore to do the landscaping this fall. It was tasteful, respectful of our "natural" style, and perfectly suited to the space. These guys are both artists and technicians. They can see beauty and then build it! I'm impressed!
— Brian & Jean Fast
We love our new patio. Dave and Chuck were very professional and courteous. They were here on time for the estimate, started the job right when they said they would and stayed on schedule. I will recommend them to friends and family.
— Karen and Dale Gallacchi
Thank you David, Chuck and Tom, Your work was fast, efficient, neat and perfectly done. My front walkway looks beautiful. I have already had so many compliments. I love my new pink dogwood. And the rock/boulder in my front garden is a perfect fit. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
— Marge Joynt
We absolutely love our new patio! #1 Stonescaping did an awesome job. Dave and his crew are professional and courteous. They communicate clearly and we didn’t have to guess anything—the patio was done quicker than I expected. When he said ‘“I’ll be there at 5”, he showed up at 5. No wasting time. They have a great work ethic and their work is of the highest quality. We are extremely happy with the result and so glad we made this investment. We highly recommend #1 Stonescaping!
— Tony and Seema Rivera
We were pleasantly surprised that Dave & Chuck are artists as much as they are craftsmen. They built a natural limestone wall in the front garden, and it is breathtaking! They quickly assessed what we were looking for and it was actualized even better than we imagined. They were punctual, fairly priced, respectful, and their workmanship was superior. We are asking for them to return in the spring to do the planting, and will give them free rein. They know what they are doing.
— Brian & Jean Fast
Lucky for us that Randy Davis told us to call Dave to re-do our front walkway and porch floor. Last week his crew arrived, did exactly what we wanted with no overruns, extras, etc. and we are truly happy with the improvements they suggested. Very professional business people with an ease and friendliness that was quite nice. Thank you so much.
— Diane and Jim Reilly
We were looking to replace our patio and walkway and a friend referred us to Dave. His estimate was right in the range we anticipated. He gave us an estimated start date and he began the job at the projected start date. Chuck and Tom did a great job on the installation. They left the work site in great shape at the end of each work day. The patio and walkway look even better than we could have imagined. Everyone who has seen it remarks how beautiful it looks. We've already given his name out to others interested in similar work. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again for any other project we might have.
— Amy Mahar
Dave and his team were professional, friendly, and attentive. They completed the job when they said they would, the way they said they would, for the price they quoted. Ours was a small job, but I believe this company treats all projects equally.
— Stacia Brigadier
Dale Merrigan - I would like to thank Dave and his team (exceptional) for giving me the most lovely front yard. It was such a pleasure to work with them. I really appreciate his always being there when he said he would and doing exactly what he said he was going to do. I have gotten so many compliments and will happily recommend them to all that ask. Just love love it!! Thank you!!
— Dale Merrigan
We recently put an addition on our house. The construction destroyed our backyard (well worth it). We contacted Dave to not only install 8,600 sq. ft. of sod but to also design and install a rear stone patio. Our rear yard looks like the outfield of Yankee Stadium and the new patio is absolutely gorgeous. We can't tell you how happy we are with the final results. Dave and his entire staff were professional, courteous, friendly and there attention to detail was "second to none".
— Jim and Mary G
We recently had the walkway to our front door, as well as the landing itself redone and we couldn't be more pleased with David and his team. They were professional, VERY easy to get along with, and punctual. They were able to help guide us with what would work aesthetically, and where it made the most sense to invest. There was no upselling, or any of that garbage. The team is fun to work with, while also taking their work quality seriously. We plan on using #1 Stonescaping again for future projects, and I have absolutely no reservations about recommending them to anyone!
— Stephen & Renee
My husband and I were so pleased with our new walkway. The old pavers and the new steps had to transition together and we were expressed with the finished project. When we contracted with #1 Stonescaping, we were told our job would be happening the end of June to the beginning of July. They were exactly on time. We happily recommend #1 Stonescaping.
— Linda Colden
We can't thank you enough for the beautiful landscaping job you did in front of our home. It has made such a difference and so many neighbors have complimented us on how nice it looks. We are always happy to give them your name.
— Kathryn Schimanski
I am so impressed with the work #1 Stonescaping did for me, I love my new patio! From beginning to end I had the best experience. I am very happy I chose this company. The men who worked on my patio - Dave, Chuck, Tom, Cliff and Kenny - were professional, meticulous, and hard-working. I must say artistic too, they understood what I wanted, and designed it perfectly. Thank you very much!
— Jessica Carrow
Can't say enough about our beautiful new patio and stairs! David, Tom and Chuck were all wonderful to work with being professional and personable at the same time. They finished in a timely fashion and did a great job with the landscaping. When they were done my yard was left with nothing for me to do but sit back and enjoy! We love it!
— Peggy Walsh
Absolutely thrilled with the incredible patio that David, Chuck and Tom created at my Town Home at Briaridge II in East Greenbush. Dave quickly grasped my vision and was able to take it from concept to reality with amazing ease! The team is the perfect blend of professional experience and artistry.
— Phyllis Howard
Dave and his outstanding team are the absolute best. Their craftsmanship and professionalism goes well beyond your expectations. Their work is the finest in the Capital Region.
— DL Shealy
We could not be happier with the work that David and his crew provided. They worked so hard to meet all of our requests, and exceeded most of them! The plants/flowers chosen are stunning. We so appreciate their time and attention to detail, right down to the final walkthrough, educating us on the best way to manage all of our new and beautiful plants. Thank you so much!
— Matt and Nicole Lasch
We are in love with our new landscaping. David was so helpful and the crew did such beautiful work. Our expectations were surpassed between the quality and the design. Everyday someone walks by and compliments our yard. We will definitely be recommending Stonescaping Lawn Service, Inc to our family and friends !!

At this challenging time in our country having a team that is considerate, understanding of your safety concerns , over and above doing a knockout job and a perfect clean- up is heartwarming.

I called Dave after seeing his work at my dentist's office. I asked him to rebuild a failing retaining wall. He said he could do that for me or for less money, relandscape the area. I don't have a lot of vision for landscaping so I trusted in his expertise and I was truly impressed. The area is absolutely beautiful - far better than a new wall would have been. Dave was easy to work with from start to finish. I would use him again and have already given his number to 2 people. One is my mother who lives across the street and is jealous of my new lanscaping :)))
— Adria Ermolenko
Your company did a great job on my back patio two years ago. I wanted to have someone come out and get an estimate on re-doing our front walkway. I can be reached via text or voice at 518-265-1347. Thanks!

— John and Cindy Lizzi
It took us a long time to find a contractor who was willing to replace the pavers in our driveway. I saw their truck and left a message. The next day I got a call and we met Dave a couple of days later. What a nice guy. He sent an estimate and we had a deal. We want the job done before the snow fell and Dave was able to fit us in. What a great job they did! They matched the pavers from our patio and walkways. We are thrilled with the results and happy to have a safe driveway again. We would recommend Dave and his crew without reservation.
— Julia & JP Python
We are pleased to add our names to the extensive list of satisfied customers of #1 Stonescaping.

We've personally expressed our gratitude to Dave, Chuck, Tom and Cliff for going out of their way to do things the right way.and we'd like to share that with as many people as we can. You can't go wrong with these guys. They will restore your faith in people doing great work for a fair price.

— Beth Klopott
Once again, I turned to Dave and #1 to help us with a tricky brick walkway from our brick patio. They were able to locate a very difficult to find matching brick, utilized some interseting and clever design ideas and did it all in a timely, very professional manner with absolutely imbecable workmanship. Thanks for your help, we'll be back.
— Dennis Ross
My husband and I, for a year or two, had tossed around ideas with regards to adding a patio and fire pit off our deck. After much contemplation we arrived at a rough sketch of what we were looking for. Now we were faced with finding an installer to make our dreams become a reality. We met Dave and Chuck of #1Stonescaping (as well as other vendors) at a Home Show in Clifton Park in early spring and arranged for them to come look at the site and give us a quote. When they arrived at our house we knew from the start that they were truly professional and experienced. The amount of time that they took, suggestions that they made and the numerous calculations (including elevation differentials) that they took put our minds at ease concerning our project. We signed a contract with them shortly after. From the first day of the project to the last, Dave, Chuck and their crew were totally professional, courteous and on task. Their attention to detail was amazing and the final results were nothing short of spectacular. They coordinated all the details, working in sync with the crews responsible for the sprinkler system relocation, electrician for running the electrical line for the hot tub, gas line hookup for the fire pit and the contractor building the stairs from the deck to the patio. Thanks to them, our backyard looks amazing. It is without hesitation that we would recommend #1Stonescaping.
— Jan and John DeMeo
I called #1 Stonescaping to have a small walkway laid in my front yard and a patio in back. Dave arrived on time for his estimate and was listened very carefully to what I had in mind. He had a couple of suggestions, consulted his calendar and gave me a two week window in which his crew could begin work. Haha, I thought. But sure enough, Dave and his crew showed up for exactly when they said they would.
They had all the supplies they needed, got right to work and within a matter of days I had a new walkway and patio. They are very meticulous and are true artisans. I cannot say enough about this company. Hire them for your project.

If you're looking for the old fashioned work ethic of professionalism, creativity, attention to detail and customer service, we highly recommend #1stonescaping. These hard-working delightful people really cared about our projects and us as individuals. We especially appreciated that they communicated with us about scheduling and were true to their word about that.
We had a back walk and stone wall built, both of which turned out beautifully due to Dave, Chuck and Tom' expertise and a real sense of the style we hoped for. We couldn't have done it nearly so well without their input.

They completed the job on time and did a great job cleaning up every day. The landscaping came out great and we are very satisfied.

We had Dave and his crew install an outdoor living area next to our pool in 2016. Our first impression was WOW, this guy showed up when he said he would - hard to find these days. Dave and his crew were professional, helpful, and had a great work ethic - job came in as estimated and beautiful. And nothing speaks more to customer satisfaction than a repeat customer - we contacted Dave again this year to install a front walkway, and it will be started shortly.
Don't hesitate to contact #1 Stonescaping - you won't be disappointed!

I am actually writing this two days ahead of the anticipated end date of our project with #1 Stonescaping. David, Chuck and Tom have installed a new walkway in front of our house and are now finishing our back yard patio. The guys are wonderful; great work ethic, courteous, diligent, professional, punctual, etc. They pay great attention to detail and do not cut corners. They are artists at their job. I strongly recommend them.
— John Sypek
Professional, courteous, efficient, punctual and creative are a few words to describe David, Chuck and Tom at #1 Stonescaping. We had the pleasure of working together with them on our plans for a new front walkway with retaining walls and new landscaping. We spoke to David in October 2018 and solidified our plans to start work in May.
Fortunately, they were able to start earlier than planned. We were thrilled. The guys were timely and the grounds were immaculate at the end of their work day. We relied on David's expertise to design and incorporate what he thought would work for us for a low maintenance garden and he delivered! Recommending this company is easy. They listen and give recommendations, show up on time, work tirelessly to complete the project and were a sincere pleasure to work with. Give them a call. You will not be disappointed!

After having a large project done on our home a few years ago, my husband and I decided to wait to put in a patio. Why? Because home improvements always equal ulcers - everything from the cost to the noise to the poor communication and expired due dates kept us from doing something we really wanted to do. And then we worked with David and the team at #1 Stonescaping. It was hands down the best experience we've had doing a home improvement. David talked us through design (including size and features) as well as materials, price, and time.
The cost and time as quoted in the estimate were right on target. And the entire team was flexible; if we changed something, they adjusted accordingly. The gentlemen who worked to build our patio were always friendly, polite, on time, hardworking, knowledgeable, and communicative. We never had an instance when we didn't know what was happening. If we didn't understand something, they explained it. If we wanted something different, they accommodated us. They worked around our schedules and checked in to be sure the work was satisfactory. We cannot say enough about both the high quality of both the work and the workmanship. The process was straightforward and ulcer-free, and the results are gorgeous! Thanks to everyone at #1 Stonescaping for restoring our faith in home improvements and for giving us a beautiful outdoor space.

I am very happy that I chose #1 Stonescaping for my landscaping project. David was very easy to work with and designed a limerock retaining wall and walkway that was exactly what I wanted. The plantings are beautiful too. My husband and I were so happy with how the work was going in our front yard that we decided to install a firepit in the backyard. Chuck and Tom did a fantastic job and were so professional. One thing that I really appreciated is that David aims to please and when I was not happy with one thing, he fixed it immediately. My yard was left immaculate each and every day. I have received numerous compliments from my neighbors and I will definitely use David and his crew again.
— Mary Archer-Smith
Dave and his crew did a beautiful job at my apartment complex, The Eleftheria, on South Allen Street in Albany.
Professional, knowledgeable and their attention to detail was excellent. They placed "stone gardens" and park benches around the rear parking area. Beautiful! I have received so many compliments from tenants and visitors. Thank you again.
As the former Director of Buildings in Albany I was extremely impressed at their workmanship. I would not hesitate to use Dave again or highly recommend him.

Dave and his team are great - They Rock! They landscaped both my front and back yards. I love their use of rocks - large pebbles instead of mulch in my back yard and one huge rock in my front. I love my ancient quarried rock.
— Mary Kelly
Dave, Chuck and the gang turned our old deck into an awesome new backyard hangout space. They put in a patio and fire pit as well as a fantastic outdoor bar. They were a great team to work with. Their professionalism and attention to detail were beyond my expectations. We were skeptical about the amount of creative leeway they wanted, but in the end, the finished product was truly a creation. We had some spirited back and forth conversations during the design process and they continued to understand our desires while infusing their artistry. #1 Stonescaping did an awesome job on not just our hardscape, but also the landscape finishing touches. Even after the job is completed, Dave continues to be a great resource. I would highly recommend using these guys.
— Kevin Donlon
#1 Stonescaping created a patio and fire pit that transformed our outside living space beyond our dreams. Their industry experience is priceless!

We are thrilled with the end results and highly recommend #1 Stonescaping to transform your outside living space!
— Terry and Carol Ratigan
Dave and Chuck were great to work with. They met with us to discuss our needs and propose possibilities. They listened to what we wanted and then provided us with a wonderful design that we are absolutely thrilled with. They worked thru the nasty weather in April, but never rushed through the project. Very attentive to detail and the end product is better that what we imagined. Many thanks to Dave, Chuck and their team!
— Kevin Ryan
David and his team did an outstanding job on our patio. We needed various repairs and a new fire pit built. Everything came out great. The team was fast, flexible and reasonably priced. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family!
— Rob Retajczyk
David and his entire team are the most professional and efficient people I have had the privilege of working with to beautify my home. They are prompt, neat, courteous and expert at their craft. I look forward to working with them again to install a back patio.
— Maureen Topping
We are so pleased with our new patio. We chose #1Stonescaping after seeing our neighbor's patio that they had constructed a few years ago. David met with us to discuss plans. He gave advice and ideas to make the most out of this backyard space. He told us it would take three weeks, and it did. Seeing what goes into a project like this, I'm so glad that we hired #1Stonescaping. Everything is perfect. It has added so much to our backyard. We can't wait for the spring so we can sit out there, relax and entertain our family and friends.
— Nancy Farrell
Our commercial property in the heart of a revitalized downtown Schenectady is a unique property in that it features a large private courtyard. When we purchased the property 13 years ago the courtyard materials were already worn and dated. (pressure treated wood landscape timbers and concrete pavers) We spent two years finding the right stone materials and hardscape contractor. We found both in the natural bluestone we used for the deck and in #1 Stonescaping who did a fantastic job pulling it all together. After 6 weeks of intensive site and stone masonry work the result was the beutiful new courtyard your see in these photos.
— OBAN Associates, LLC
In Fall 2017 we had #1 Stonescaping take out a cement patio in our backyard and replace it with a new stone patio complete with a fire pit and seating area. Chuck and the team were exceptional - prompt and professional. They never left for the night without making sure the area was neat and clean. Their work was meticulous. We would use them again.
— Ken and Kathie Ziobrowski
We are so happy with our new patio. Dave and Chuck and their team were so easy to work with. They had great ideas about how to incorporate our old space with our new space. They really went out of their way to make sure we could see their "vision" and we wound up with a new section of our backyard that is seamless and inviting. We would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for quality work!
— Jill Richardson
These guys were great to work with - Dave and Chuck are experts in the industry and take pride in what they do. They are extremely knowledgeable and full of a lot of great ideas. They listened to my general ideas/thoughts and ran with them, creating our dream backyard we always wanted (hardscape and landscape). I highly recommend these guys, whether you are looking for general landscaping, or an intricate patio -- they will deliver!!!
— Jed G.
Dave is a man with a professional work ethic and corresponding work crew. I am pleased to say that there still exists craftsmanship in our time. Thank you for creating "curb appeal " to our property and then doubled down with a great rear yard patio.
— Richard Lenihan
I originally had Dave and his crew do landscaping of my front yard including a curved stone walk 25 years ago. The walk has stayed the way it was laid, with no shifting of the stone even through winters. I just had Dave back (takes me a while to make a decision...) to install a similar stone walk along the side of the house, curving around across the back yard. It's just what I wanted -- and the yard needed! I cannot say enough about #1 Stonescaping and Dave and his crew.
— Marilyn Eberle
Thank you to Dave and his team for a fantastic job of turning a nightmare of a stone field into a beautiful backyard! From the first meeting through completion of the job, Dave and his team were the utmost professionals with consistent focus on delivering top quality results. I continue to receive numerous compliments on the improvements to my property.
I highly recommend #1 Stonescaping for your landscaping needs.

We enjoyed working with #1Stonescaping. We contacted Dave early Spring. He came out to our house to view the backyard and listened to our ideas. He took our basic concepts and suggested very helpful options. Dave and Chuck came back out and outlined the various areas in white spray paint so my wife could visualize the design. Thanks to their helpful input and creativity we now have the perfect outdoor space to enjoy. Our patio and BBQ area adds beauty and value to our home. Chuck and Dan are excellent, impeccable craftsmen! We appreciated their attention to details! Their explanations and daily communications were effective and spot on.
Dave and Chuck also handled all the details: slightly re-contouring the sloping backyard to ensure proper water drainage, selecting some very unique weathered edge accent boulders, re-laying out a half dozen downspout connections to an underground drainage system, re-laying out the backyard sprinkler system, re-seeding, creating planter areas, landscape lighting etc. The overall project exceeded our expectations and came within our budget.
We're loving it!

We are very pleased with our patio built by #1 Stonescaping, and would definitely recommend them. I had a design in mind, and Dave worked with me to create a detailed estimate. He didn't try to "sell" us on extras, allowing us to comfortably stay within our budget. Chuck & Dan did a great job of matching up the new patio with our existing walkway, pool area and landscaping. They left their workspace neat & clean when they left each day. The patio came out beautifully and there were no unanticipated costs.
— Shea & Brian Carr
What a great experience it was to have such a professional, caring team work to make an idea come to life at our home. Dave, Chuck, Augie and the team were wonderful to work with...prompt, timely, talented and so pleasant whether it was discussing plans, scheduling and all that goes into a project like ours. We could not be happier with the end product and would highly recommend #1 without hesitation. We now get to enjoy the finished product every day!
— Elizabeth Shields
Once again I must write a testimonial to Dave and Chuck and the wonderful crew. After having Dave update all our landscaping and front patio and walkway we could not get enough! This year we added a beautiful new patio to our backyard which completes our dreams. It is truly amazing and the workmanship is beyond compare. They came in as usual and went above and beyond to create our dream patio. A useless grass area in the back corner of our property is now a destination!
Walking stones from our pathway to our patio is so perfect since we never have to walk on wet grass and we cannot thank him enough for replacing our ugly shed ramp with patio stones.
Chuck is so patient and a true master of his art and Dave is never pushy about anything, He presents wonderful ideas to choose from and we work from there. They always show up, clean after themselves and honestly become part of our family. We love them all!!
Don't think we have another place for a patio but if I did, Dave would be the only one We would call!

Chuck is so patient and a true master of his art and Dave is never pushy about anything, He presents wonderful ideas to choose from and we work from there. They always show up, clean after themselves and honestly become part of our family. We love them all!!
Don't think we have another place for a patio but if I did, Dave would be the only one We would call!

We couldn't be happier with our amazing walkway and patio from Dave and Chuck and the rest of the #1 Stonescaping team. They brought experience and knowledge and most of all ideas to make our dream become a reality. We quickly established a wonderful rapport and communication was easy. #1's service, support, timeliness and flexibility made it so easy for us and other contractors working to make our new build our dream house. To the team ... thank you for your hard work and efforts while working in the extreme cold. We can't wait to enjoy our own little oasis during Spring and Summer.

Dave and his team did an amazing job redesigning the platform around the flagpole and turned it into a show piece on the CBA Campus. It was a pleasure working with Dave, a CBA Alumnus, because he put his heart and soul into the job and created something way beyond our expectations. It will be a source of pride on our campus for years to come.

We own a raised ranch and our landscaping was dated and overgrown. After a consult with Dave, I decided to leave it in his hands since his vision for our property was right on point. The crew came in and removed bushes, up old roots, removed old unsightly cement areas, and did what I thought was impossible. They planted beautiful tress, bushes, annuals and put in rock gardens, walkway and patio.
The entire crew, Kenny, Dan, Chuck, Auguie and of course Dave, were professional, unintrusive, friendly and they showed up when they told us they would! I cannot thank them enough for making us fall in love with our home again. As a retired couple, we like many others like us, have decided to stay in our homes.My husband walks the property twice a day, at least, and is euphoric. Neighbors stop by and compliment us and I have given complete strangers tours.
Thank you #1 Stonescaping!

This is the second job I used Dave, first a front porch and then a patio. I am very satisfied with the workmanship and the clean up and would recommend him to anyone.
— Fred Ruff
Dave did a fantastic job on our front walkway. Beautiful color stone and beautiful design. Absolutely love the work and highly recommend Dave's company to anyone. He came when he said he was available to start the work and finished before scheduled date.
— Suzanne and Brian McCarthy
In late Fall of 2015 Dave's crew did both a patio and landscaping in our yard. His three workman, Chuck, Dan and August were exceptional. The patio consisted of intricate pavers with 2 seating walls and LED accent lighting in the walls and stairs attached to the porch. Their workmanship was impeccable as Chuck and Dan are very detail oriented and took their time during each step of the project. Dave frequently came to oversee their progress. Each night they cleaned the work area and left no trace of the days debris. Dave and his crew also landscaped our small yard. The evergreens and perennials are healthy plantings and the results turned out beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a more conscientious, courteous and genuinely pleasant group of professionals to work on our yard. Their workmanship in our opinion is exceptional, and we would highly recommend Dave and his crew for any professional stone or landscaping work.
— Dave & Gail Barton
Last year Dave and his crew rebuilt one side of the blue stone retaining wall next to our driveway using the existing stones. Dave told me it would look like a piece of art. I did not understand what he meant until the job had been completed. It looked so beautiful! After seeing this, I knew I had to have the other side done so that both retaining walls would look the same. Now I have two beautiful retaining walls on either side of my driveway. Thank you Dave, Ed, Chuck, and Dan for another fantastic job!
— Michael Tateo
David Lawler and his team rebuilt our bluestone porch, stairs and wall - everything turned out great! David kept us up to date at each step in the process and the job came in right on budget. Excellent workmanship! Clean job site! I would only call David and his crew for stone work at my house in the future. I highly recommend them!
— Heather Bennett
I had a small sidewalk put in by Dave, Chuck and Dan. I was very pleased with the job. They were always there when they said they would be. They were very pleasant to deal with and everything was cleaned up when they finished. Chuck very gently convinced me to go with their design as opposed to what I thought would work best. He was absolutely right. I couldn't be more pleased with the work they did. Their experience and expertise shows in their work, in addition to being really great people you enjoy having around. I will recommend them highly to everyone.
— Leona Morin
Our stonescape and landscaping project was beautifully designed by Dave and his team. We are thoroughly enjoying the layout and beautiful aesthetic of our patio and walkway!
— Kelly Nisiewicz
#1 Stonescaping did a beautiful job in laying out and putting in our new patio and walkway. They are craftsmen at their work. We would easily recommend them others.
— Dan & Tracy Morra
We needed new front steps and a new sidewalk, and Dave and his crew did a great job. Dave's design ideas opened up terrific new possibilities for our garden, and his recommendations brought a whole new look to the front of the property. It was a pleasure to work with the creativity, efficiency and personal touch of Dave and his crew.
— Bill Walker
We have been customers of #1 for many years. They maintain our home and business property. We have been very satisfied with their expertise and work ethics.
Recently we had stone work done at our business. We met with Dave as we wanted to eliminate steps and tie the new phase to meet the existing stone work. He had some great suggestions and we proceeded . Chuck and Dan were on the job daily. The work was impeccable . They were very considerate of the sensitivity of our business. The jobsite was kept clean at all times. We were very impressed with the outcome. We have recommended #1 to many of our friends and would not hesitate to continue to do so. I addition to the stone work, Ed maintains our home and work property weekly. Once again with full satisfaction.

We had a beautiful red brick walkway put in front of our house and people are slowing down and stopping to admire it! These guys are THE BEST! Dave, Chuck and Dan did an amazing job! It is truly an art and they are not only professional but the nicest guys around! They show up on time and their work ethic is great! I highly recommend these guys - you will not be disappointed! Everything everyone is saying about them is true!
— Tim and Cathy Eckhardt
Within a few minutes I felt like Dave would be the person that I would hire to design and build our patio. He was very professional, insightful, and maybe best of all, seemingly honest and down to earth. Dave was very patient with our decision making process and the job was started exactly when he said it would be. His crew members of Chuck and Johnny worked diligently right from the start. They kept the work area extremely neat and in order and didn't cause me any hardships. The finished product was very much to our liking, and Dave's attention to making sure we were informed about upkeep of our patio was the icing on well done job.
— Ed Baskerville
Dave and his crew are extremely talented and professional. Their work is beautiful, pricing is very fair and as an Architect it's a beautiful thing to see such good craftsmen show up on time, when they say they will and keep their work site clean and safe. I have more work to do and #1 is the only firm I'll consider.
— Dennis Ross
Dave and crew did a superb landscaping job. Dave was also excellent in helping us design the project. We will us them again.
— John Black
We hired #1 Stonescaping to do a patio around an in-ground pool we recently installed. Not only were Dave and Chuck a pleasure to work with, they were extremely professional and always cleaned up after themselves everyday and took extra care to make sure their vehicles and tools didn't impact the rest of the yard. Their stone work exceeded our expectations and Dave created a created a beautiful step up to our pool house with built in LED lights that is incredible. Additionally, they did some great landscaping around the pool as well. I would highly recommend them!
— C. Del Giudice
Dave and his crew, Chuck and Johnny, rebuilt a stone wall for me last year. Dave discussed redoing the landscaping behind the wall. This spring the boys pulled up all the old yews and prepared the area. Last week they returned and planted a variety of colorful plantings that really complement the whole yard.
— Michael Tateo
We asked Dave to create some gardens that looked different from the others in the neighborhood. Dave listened and worked hard to find plantings that would accomplish this. We are very pleased and looking forward to enjoying the color and textures he put together for us.
— Jo and Chip Ashworth
Dave and his team did an excellent job building our gas fire pit. The pit came out great and his crew were professional. Will definitely use them for any future outdoor space needs.
— George Wolf
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dave and his staff for designing and transforming an large landscaping project at our apartment complex into something that our residents are proud to call home! Dave and his staff were professional and courteous at all times. There meticulous attention to detail is something that does not go unnoticed! The creativity and integrity shows in all aspects of their work. The results exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this organization for anyone, its nice to know there are still companies that take pride in their work.
Job well Done, thanks you!!

When my family purchased a home that needed extensive work, we were lucky to have a referral to Dave. From the planning phase to execution, professional and kind would be the experience. The whole team worked to transform our home into a beautiful showpiece that is completely functional. The attention to detail that Dave and Chuck brought to the project resulted in the highest quality. All the guys were so friendly, my three year old would enjoy watching them work. We will work with #1 Stonescaping again.

I had procrastinated about repairing a retaining wall near the driveway. When I finally decided to move forward I contacted #1Stonescaping and spoke to Dave Lawler to get an estimate. I was expecting him to tell me that it was too late in the season to do the job, but to my surprise he told me they would start within a couple of weeks. Dave and his crew, Chuck and Johnny, started working the first week in December. There were some delays due to weather conditions but by the end of December the wall was completed. The new wall is like a work of art. Each stone was cut to fit in just the right place, reusing most of the stones from the original wall. Dave had told me in the beginning that once I saw this wall I would want to have the wall on the other side of the driveway done. He was right and I am planning to have the second wall redone in the spring. I really enjoyed working with Dave, we had some great laughs, and the new wall is beautiful.
— Mike Tateo
It goes without saying that the service provided throughout my Hardscape project was unprecedented. As an Engineer the attention to detail is always critical, the level and attention to detail applied during my project was impeccable. The Communication between Chuck, the crew, and I thru every phase of the project made the experience enjoyable. The finished product has exceeded my expectations and my wife and family will enjoy this for years to come. #1 Stone is truly what they are #1. I would highly recommend them for any project you are looking do and I personally look forward to them coming back and providing services in the future.
— Jim Crouch
Dave and his guys just completed a redesign of a large area of our backyard using cobblestone and focal stone accent pieces. Not only are we delighted by the result but the work ethic of the group was clear to see and the price was reasonable. Dave had his own ideas as to the way it would look and he was correct from the start.
This is the second time they have completed a stonework project for us and we would be happy to recommend Dave and his group to anyone.

#1 Stonescaping transformed our ho-hum back yard into a bi-level patio and fire pit area worthy of a spread in Better Homes and Gardens or HGTV! From our first planning meeting months before breaking ground, to the gorgeous patio(s) we enjoy today, David's crew was masterful at creating the outdoor living space we had envisioned. Chuck and John are true craftsmen, were meticulous, and great to work with during every phase of this rather large, month-long project. From the upper patio to the fire pit to the gorgeous landscaping, David guided everything with a professional and personal touch. We, our family, and our guests are now enjoying an outdoor home entertaining experience second to none. Thank you, David and crew. You have our highest recommendation!
— Jayne S. & Dave W.
We were very pleased with the work done. Dave and his crew were very professional and got the job done in a couple of days. The garden has never looked so good. We have already received many nice comments from neighbors and friends on how beautiful it looks. I would highly recommend Dave and his crew!!!!
— Stephen and Joanne Cadalso
Dave, Chuck, and Johnny,
I wanted to take the time and thank you for the wonderful job you did on our Patio at our Best Fire Hearth & Patio showroom in Colonie. When someone has the word PATIO in their own name, you better make sure your own patio lives up to the mark. I'm glad I picked #1 Stonescaping.
Your willingness to work with us on a design, careful planning and excellent installation produced a patio that we are proud of. With a project like this, I wanted to make sure that I did it right the first time. I quickly realized that I picked the right partner when I saw the level of detail being used. As retail business where we were open for business during the whole process, and the patio in a high traffic spot in front of our store. The excavation was done with minimal impact to our business. The job site was cleaned and cleared on a daily basis, to keep our store looking it's best. The careful leveling and pitching of the patio was perfectly done. We can have a massive rainstorm and my patio drains great. The interface of the different types of paving block within our patio was done beautifully. Chuck took his time to carefully think out the transitions between blocks and the end result is looks great. We get compliments on our patio every day. We love the natural limerock pieces which make our patio one-of-a-kind, as suggestion of Dave. The fire pit that Johnny constructed for us out of natural real stone, without mortar joints is high class all the way. You have a true craftsmen in Johnny.
We don't hand out recommendations easily, but we all here at Best Fire will proudly recommend #1 Stonescaping to all our clients

I'm calling Dave the next time I need some stone landscaping done. Dave and crew did the work at my previous home where I had specific plans in my head for a front walk, rear patio, and stone retaining wall. Dave's work ethic and level headed, no-nonsense demeanor was evident when we first met to review my ideas and Dave made it happen. So when it came to doing a stone patio at my current house, of course I called Dave. The #1 Stonescaping crew worked with my ideas and within my budget to do a fantastic job. The work was done professionally and on time, they left no mess, and best of all the patio looks great. Put me down as another satisfied customer...again.
— John Love
We contracted with #1Stonescapping to create two privacy berms in our yard. They did a fantastic job and it was a pleasure to work with the crew. They planted 15 Green Giant Aborvitaes approximately 8-10 feet tall on the berms then put down dark mulch and large stone accents. Fantastic job and we highly recommend this company.
— Cathie St Lucia
We are extremely pleased with the work Dave and his crew did in our front yard. They turned a large area of dirt where no grass would grow because of the shade into a beautiful area. They circled the tree with a low border of river rocks. Then they filled in the area with mulch and 7 large rocks. It is very impressive and we receive compliments from neighbors just driving by. The prices were reasonable and Dave and his crew came and worked quickly.
— Deborah and Bennett Liebman
We met Dave at a home show and had a favorable impression-knowledgeable and generous with his time. Following a phone call, he came to our house, saw the scope our project, and promptly emailed us an estimate. In a few weeks our project, was begun by two employees, Chuck and Dan, who had great work ethics, They asked if he had any questions or suggestions. The work was done in about four days as expected. We are completely satisfied and have received several positive comments about the good workmanship. We would gladly recommend Dave and his employees for any stone work.
— Frederick Parker
I just wanted to say Dave did an awesome job replacing our front walkway along with overlay into our front entry way. Dave made suggestions which were great. Dan and Chuck were on the job daily and were very courteous and professional. The job site was left neat and clean every day. I would highly recommend #1 Stonescape. I can't wait to contact them again for another project!
— Debbie Yauch
Two years ago Dave and his crew built stone front steps and walkway for me as well as enhancing my existing front landscaping. I was so pleased with their work and work ethic that I contacted them again recently. This time they built back steps with bluestone, enhanced my existing patio with blue stone and planted several large fir trees. Again, amazing work! David and his entire crew are great to work with. They are on time and responsive. It was difficult to get the trees and stone into my back yard (homes very close together in my neighborhood) but they did so with no damage to my lawn or my neighbor's lawn. Went way out of their way in every way!
— Peggy Naughton
Dave and his crew are true professionals in their trade, their craftsmanship and attention to detail totally exceeded my expectation. I can't wait for next years project.
— Richard Coleman
We had Dave and his crew build new front steps to the entrance of our house and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We were not sure what we wanted and they were very helpful in picking out color and design for the new stairs. The crew was very professional. They showed up on time and cleaned up each day. They did an excellent job removing the existing front stairs and building the new stairs. We are very happy with the work and the whole experience and we plan to use them again.
— Tom & Patrice McCarthy
We asked David and his crew to rebuild our 2 year old patio for us. Everything was done beautifully and every day when they left, you didn't even know they were there. They were so professional and great to work with, and always kept us informed every step of the way. We can't wait to have them do our next project for us! It's nice to see there are still companies out there that take pride in their work. Thank you again for everything!!
— Dennis & Irene
We hired #1Stonescaping for removing an old patio under our deck. Dave's recommendation was spot on and the results were amazing. We were given a timely and fair estimate and our job was completed quickly. The whole team was friendly, non-intrusive and cleanup was impeccable. I will be using Dave after my new fence is installed to landscape my property and would recommend them again and again!
— John and Trudy Arena
I really appreciated the professionalism and just plain pleasantness of your work crew. They did not just come in to do a job. They took their time, they thought about the finished project and suggested
slight alterations to make it better. As I said, I posted daily updates on my Facebook page and the compliments were fantastic. The end result is better than what I asked for. Thank you and your crew for not just doing but thinking doing and making sure it was perfect. I will use your services again.

#1 Stonescaping is truly #1. David and his crew just completed designing and installing a new patio, front steps and landscaping at my home. They transformed my yard beyond what I believed possible. The crew arrived promptly at 8 am and put in a full day's work. They did not leave the work site until it was completely cleaned up. They were considerate of my neighborhood and so polite to me. David was responsive to my phone calls and never tired of my many questions. He gave me many good suggestions which I had not considered and certainly helped to make the end product so beautiful. I highly, highly recommend #1Stonescaping, they are true professionals.
— Rita Swiderski
My wife and I would like to thank David, Chuck, & Dan for doing three separate projects at our home over the last year. The projects covered stone entry stairs, pool patio stairs, retaining walls, window wells, repair work to an old patio, moving shrubs, bringing in stone, and all related site work. I had made mistakes in the past going the cheaper route and hiring a contractor who "could do it" but didn't specialize in it. I should have hired #1 Stonescaping the first time! This really is one of those trades where reputation, specialization, and length of time in the business matters. The whole, "you get what you pay for" is as true as ever.
I own and operate a real estate investment management company and have a lot of experience hiring vendors and have come across all types over the last 15 years. I can assure you that these gentlemen are honest, courteous, reliable, and know their trade down to the tiniest of details. They will meet deadlines (weather always plays a role) and do the work as agreed and probably a little extra as they take great pride in their creation.

Dave and his crew (Dan and Chuck) just finished our beautiful new stone walkway and front step restoration! It's a long walkway that connects our side door and runs along the front of the house to the front steps. A neighbor walking by shouted out, "Looks like a new house"! All three gents are very professional, they started the job as promised and worked until it was finished. The demolition materials were taken off site as they were removed with the yard left without debris over night. The quality of the work and materials is superb and the price was very fair. I would recommend #1 Stonescaping without reservation. I will definitely work with Dave and the crew for our next landscaping project!
— Kenneth Handin
Dave and his team did a great job replacing our retaining wall. From the very beginning, Dave was professional, prompt, and came through on everything we asked for. He made sure the wall looked great and was built to last. Since the wall ran down the property line, Dave also demonstrated great diplomatic skills, communicating with our neighbor regularly throughout the job. I highly recommend #1 Stonescaping.
— Chris Parker
We had Dave and his crew (Chuck and Dan) out to our home to redo a fire pit /patio. In about 16 hrs they turned what was an eyesore into a showpiece. Chuck ran the backhoe with amazing precision. They roughed in the design one day and made it come to life the 2nd day. The transformation is stunning! These men are real craftsmen that take genuine pride in what they do and boy does it show!
— Jim & Lee Barber
Well done and well managed job. Dave, Chuck and Dan worked with me on all the changes I wanted as the job was progressing.
— Andy Christo
This was the third job that we had Dave and #1 Stonescaping complete for us. The old, uneven yard was a poor counterpoint to the nice beds and stone islands that Dave create about a year ago. We wanted to level the yard and install sprinklers. Dave connected us with an outstanding irrigation company, Aquaturf, and coordinated with Mike Pasquini with Aquaturf on the job. The two companies worked hand in glove with one another to complete the job on time. The estimates for both the yard and the sprinkler system were very reasonable, and my neighbors were amazed at how nicely the yard came in within about 10 days. I really appreciate Dave providing regular updates on how much to water, when to cut the yard for the first time, and hints on follow-up with my lawn care company.
Dave and #1 Stonescaping always do great work!

There are not enough words to describe how beautiful our patio turned out. Dave and his crew are simply the best. We were project 11 in 2007. Since that time we had patio projects in Pennsylvania and Maryland that were similiar to our Delmar project. Nothing compares to the work and professionalism that Dave and his crew present. If we ever moved back to the NY area we would contact Dave.
— Michele Deforge
Dave and his dedicated crew did an excellent job on our outdoor patio. He was able to offer many design and product ideas on pavers for our backyard patio. When we approached him well into the fall season, he was up front and honest about expectations being dependent upon weather. We got cooperation from the weather and, sure enough, Dave came through and finished the pavers in record time. The quality of the work looks exceptional and the site was left in impeccable shape when the job was done. I would recommend #1 Stonescaping to anyone needing home improvements. There's a reason why the list of positive testimonials is a long one. Dave keeps customer service at the forefront of his business and we, like the rest of his customers, appreciate that.
— T. Doyle
Fantastic is how I would describe Dave, Chuck and Johnny of #1 Stonescaping. Dave is very straight-forward, honest and punctual in his work ethics.I had several small projects and all were completed in record time-2 1/2 days. I couldn't believe how concerned he was to give us exactly what we wanted and to keep the cost down . I plan on having him back in the Spring 2014 to complete our outdoor space. The front entry walkway is so perfect! Thank you Dave and Chuck and Congratulations Grampa Dave.
— Robert & Rosemary Mineau
We provided some challenging geography and a sketchy vision... and Dave, Chuck, John & crew created a stunningly beautiful and functional space! Our entire backyard is a sloping hill that backs down to a pond. We wanted a fire pit area that would be part of the existing patio but never knew how to tie it altogether. Dave and Chuck did! They incorporated a bluestone staircase, built the fire pit area into the hill and created an outdoor kitchen that tied the two spaces together seamlessly. They made it look like the entire project was created at the same time. In addition to their experience and ability to take your vision and improve upon it a hundred fold, they are the sweetest group of guys to have around day-to-day. They're not only true professionals, they're artists at what they do. Helpful hint: give them as much flexibility as possible and you'll not be disappointed:-) Hiring them was a blessing in every way and we look forward to having them back for our next project!
— Greg & Amanda Shephard
Dave completed work on a retaining wall and walkway for me and I could not have been more pleased. The quality of the work was quite evident but what I appreciated as much was the manner in which he communicated and worked with me throughout the process. Very responsive and a straight shooter! Recommended highly...
— Joe Kavanaugh
Dave, Chuck, and crew did a fantastic job designing and constructing a beautiful patio for our new home! Dave met with us and patiently listened while we explained how we would like to use our patio and he provided the kind of valuable insight and suggestions you only get from years of experience. He guided us as we selected paver styles and colors and his vision helped us create the perfect design for relaxing and entertaining while also enhancing the beauty of our outdoor living space.
The crew worked diligently and were meticulous in their attention to detail. #1 Stonescaping exceeded our already high expectations and we highly recommend them to anyone searching for professional stone work. Thanks guys!

#1 Stonescaping was recommended to me by a friend who was very pleased with their work. Now, I too am very pleased with their work! I had them improve two existing beds against the front of my home. They removed several old deer-eaten shrubs and replaced rotted landscape timbers with about 60 feet of new and better ones. They also filled the beds with #2 stone, taking care around the remaining shrubs and a light pole. I opted for stone over mulch because the stone won't decay, so it won't need to be replaced. Now, the area in front of the house looks great, very fresh and very neat. It is exactly what I wanted.
— Nancy H.
Dave has done a number of projects for us including new stone walkways and just recently did an entire redesign of our landscape. He has great vision and thought of things we didn't think possible. The quality of the work and professionalism of him and his team is second to none. They are punctual, finished the projects on schedule and kept things clean, even going so far as to pack up all their equipment before taking lunch breaks.
— Chris & Melissa B.
David and his crew did a wonderful job on our patio. They worked closely with us to get our design just right. They were willing to give opinions about our project when we needed them, based on their years of experience, and we couldn't be happier about the end result. Having dealt with many contractors for various projects over the years, we found David and Chuck to be two of the most professional people we have known. They were also very friendly and a pleasure to interact with throughout our installation. The crew was on time and worked on our project continuously until completion, finishing several days earlier than they had projected. We would recommend #1 Stonescaping to anyone who wants a high quality patio professionally created by a company that is a pleasure to work with.
— Deb & Brian Perrotto
We had our old concrete sidewalks replaced by Dave and his crew. They did a beautiful job. We love the new walkways. Really makes our home look nice. We would highly recommend them. Great job boys!

It's impossible to fully describe what a terrific job Dave and his crew did. They completely overhauled our postage stamp-sized brick patio and very uneven backyard, creating two patios with pavers, flagstone, and steps, along with a great yard space perfect for our son and his friends to play in. Dave had an uncanny ability to grasp our vision for the patios and yard and turn it into reality. More importantly, he helped guide the process, suggesting ways both big and small to improve the end result. I have to admit I was a bit leery of the process when it started, but as soon as I met the crew and saw what great work they did, my mind was completely at ease. By the time the crew was finished with the patio and ready to put in the landscaping, I knew that all it would take would be a quick conversation with Dave for him to understand the types of plants and colors we wanted, and he would make it happen. The entire project was a home run!
We heartily recommend #1 Stonescaping - everyone there takes great pride in their work, and is committed to providing the customer with high quality results.

We recently had a stone patio project completed by #1 Stonescaping. During our first meeting with Dave, he listened to our plans for what we were looking for, but was able to offer alternatives to fit our more rustic vision/theme and fit in with our natural surroundings. These offerings included quarried limestone seating and a stacked fieldstone fire pit. Once we decided on a stone and color, Dave took us to an outdoor display providing an example of our selection.
Looking at the display, the color was much lighter than we were anticipating - Dave saved us from what would have been a huge disappointment! When our project came up on their schedule, Dave went out with surgery, but Chuck and Johnny kept the project moving along and delivered. Chuck took over the communication duties making sure that we were satisfied and offering insightful suggestions along the way. Johnny's craftsmanship in constructing the natural stone fire pit was impressive. He worked very meticulously and demanded more of himself than anyone else could have imposed. We were so happy with the end result that we added in a second project asking him to build a natural stone retaining wall for our landscaped area in the front of our home. Johnny, again, created a beautiful stone wall. Neighbors that walk by can't help but praise it. Dave, Chuck, and Johnny take great pride in what they create - as they should. Thanks to their combined efforts, we're enjoying our new outdoor space!

Dave and his crew recently created a beautiful bluestone patio for us. Within minutes of our first meeting Dave hit on exactly what we wanted...and needed. He was great at helping us use our space to the best advantage and pleasantly accepted a few whimsical requests on our part. His staff is professional and courteous. The attention to detail and finishing touches is artistic. We now have a patio that could be featured in a magazine!
— Tom Bergin & Cecily Bailey
It was a pleasure working with Dave & crew. Dave arrived on time to give me an estimate; he was courteous, knowledgeable and helped me make choices that suited both my outdoor areas and my budget. He and his crew came when they would and finished the job quickly and neatly. I am very happy with their work and would highly recommend #1 Stonescaping.

I have been living in my house for six years. In six years I have contracted four landscapers that promised to deliver results that never materialized. Tired of spending money I had totally given up hope on ever being able to enjoy the outside of my house. I'm not big on tears but today I am emotionally moved by the transformation that has taken place in my front and back yard. I gave Stonescape my vision and they superseded my expectations. The overall presentation is striking, and beautiful. I want to thank Stonescape not just for a job well done, but for your professionalism as well. You showed and completed the work on time as promised. You made me BELIEVE again and thanks to you I will be spending my summer outdoors for the first time in six years.
— C. Staton
The crew at #1 Stonescaping were professional and courteous. We have been clients of Dave and Ed for many years. The look of our house went from okay to amazing. Dave has a gift in landscape design. Working with Dave has been a pleasure. The finished product, completed on a timely basis, is exactly what we wanted;to compliment our house. We were pleased with the service and would not hesitate to work with them again.

What can I say that hasn't already been said before..... Dave, Chuck, Johnny (the Flash) and Kenny are AWESOME! When we decided to remove our old deck and replace it with a small deck and patio I had no idea what I wanted. Being a gardener myself I thought I knew what I liked..Well I was wrong. After spending some time with Dave, he got to know me and my husband and what we "thought" we wanted. Dave drew up a design and I immediately knew I would love it! It was original, refreshing and fit my personality and yard perfectly! He incorporated all the colors and plants that natural stones to make me a patio and garden of my dreams. I can not wait til spring!!! Since my husband gave me carte blanc, I also had our front walkway redesigned and no one bugged out when at the last minute I decided to incorporate the entire front of the house too! This of course added a ton of work to the job, bit Dave never batted an eye, he immediately designed not only the most beautiful walkway, he also designed a garden to balance out the front of the house! I cannot wait to show off my new space! I'm having a party in the spring just to show off the renovations. I can't believe how awesome everyone was! This company is EXTREMELY reliable, if they say they will be there on a certain day you can bet they will. They clean up enter themselves (remove debris, excess soil, rocks, etc). All you need to do is sit and enjoy your new view. Chuck is an absolute craftsman and artist at designing and placing stone, Johnny is the most accurate stone cutter I have ever seen. I watched him cut the pavers and he NEVER made even the slightest mistake. Talk about being blown away! Which saves money as you don't need to purchase more stone due to mistakes! I only had one problem with the whole crew - GETTING THEM TO ACCEPT MY THANKS BY TAKING A BREAK AND EATING SOME WARM JUST BAKED MUFFINS! LOL These guys work from the minute they get here til the minute they leave, If they had three arms, I'm afraid they would have ate their lunch while working! If any

As a 1st time homeowner with little landscaping experience it was imperative that the professionals I chose to complete my project possessed creativity, experience and respect for their customers. During my first meeting with Dave I quickly recognized all of these qualities. Not only did Dave offer his expertise based on years of experience but he also took the time to listen to what it was I wanted without immediately dismissing me or simply not listening. Dave very patiently addressed all of my questions over several meetings. Once the project began Dave introduced me to his team and kept me apprised of each step his team was taking. Each morning I was greeted by Chuck and Dan as they began their workday. They were always so professional and willing to answer any additional questions I had. In the midst of the project, an unexpected problem arose related to pre-existing conditions of the property. Dave and his team didn't bat an eye. Dave quickly went above and beyond working to locate the necessary contractor to address the unforeseen problem so the landscaping project could continue. The final product resulted in a complete overhaul of my front yard which is absolutely gorgeous! New steps, new walkway, new yard, new landscaping! It is beyond anything I could have imagined on my own. Not only has it increased the curb appeal of my house it also makes me smile every time I come home! I would recommend Dave and his team to EVERYONE!
— Laura Goff
I wholeheartedly endorse #1 to others. First, Dave and his team take great pride in the quality of their work which was always evident whether working hard or creatively on our project. Secondly, they provide great customer service. Whether with design assistance or addressing questions, you can sense immediately that Dave is both knowledgeable and trustworthy. Third, they are very conciensious. Whether it is your family or neighbors who allow access through their property for your project, these guys are true gentlemen. Lastly, their pricing was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend Dan, Chuck Dan and Kenny to anyone.

My friends/neighbors had their walkway replaced by #1Stonscaping a few years ago and I loved it. It made me aware how bad mine was, so I decided to replace it too. Within a few weeks they were able to do it and it looks beautyful. The guys did a fantastic job, in two days it was done, everything looks so clean and neat. I can not look enough at it, sitting outside even in the rain! I highly recommend Dave and #1Stonescaping. The only regret? That I didn't do it sooner!
— Anita Wahlen
#1 stonescape recentlly replaced the sidewalk between our front entrance and our driveway with pavers. They did an outstanding job. I am sure they could have saved some time with a simpler pattern, but choose to create a beautiful design instead. I could not recommend them more highly. A great job.
— Fred and Jean Eaton
Dave and the crew were great. They were professional and did over and beyond what I expected, I couldn't be happier with their work. They fit me into their busy schedule just so my 2 boys could enjoy and be safe around or new pool which speaks volumes about the people and company that they are. I can't thank them enough and recommend them to everyone I talk too.
— Tim Keefe
#1 Stonescaping just completed a huge project in our front yard. This involved a new front porch, walkway, stone lamppost and mailbox. They addressed trouble spots, such as poor lighting, drainage and improperly spaced steps. Our perennials were incorporated with new shrubs, creating a unique entranceway. We enjoy working with them because they always take into account our personal style and apply their expertise and creative skills to the project. This is the third major project they have completed for us. They are honest and take great pride in their work. We highly recommend them...

Dave and #1 Stonescaping were referred to us by our current landscaper. We have a beautiful bluestone patio in a lovely home in Delmar, NY that over time and possibly due to incorrect initial installation has changed and was puddling water in the wrong places and we were generally just unhappy with the way it looked. Dave and his crew (Chuck and Lt. Dan) came in and totally converted our patio. They came up with great ideas and given our budget managed to fit in everything we wanted and preserve our ability to grow with the initial plan in the future. They filled an eye-sore of a water feature and corrected all the nuisance and dangerous water issues with proper drainage. Removing every piece of bluestone and documenting its original placement so it could be replaced - they repaired the sub-surface and relayed the stone. But not before recognizing and dealing with some serious drainage issues along the edge and in the window-wells of the basement - they dug drainage ditches laid unbelievable drainage and diverted it 60 feet away from my home - it is incredible how awesome it is. The patio is incredible and perfectly set with no weeds beautiful polymeric sand joints and the value we have in the bluestone can now be appreciated as we spend more time out there now that it is so nice. As an added bonus Dave had Chuck and Dan go out and hand-pick fieldstone from a quarry to build a beautiful fire-pit which is the showpiece of the patio. By the way - Dave also rebuilt a very large waterfall in a different area of our property - installing lights and re-designing the waterfall - which had been dangerously falling prior to his arrival - now it is better than ever and we are often complimented on the patio and the waterfall - but everyone loves the fire-pit. Pictures can't do it justice - we really love the work he did - well worth what we paid and more. Dave, Chuck and Lt. Dan felt like family the whole time they were here - pleasant to work with and speak to and just great people to do business with. Our highest recommen

As new homeowners, we bought our new home with the idea that it was going to be in our lives for a long time. We wanted to see our family grow and enjoy the house we always dreamed of. Part of that dream was having an area where we could enjoy our yard and be able to entertain our family and friends. Dave, Chad and Dan made this a reality. From the very beginning their professionalism and expertise were second to none. They understood our expectations, but also our budget. They created a wonderful outdoor living space that went beyond our expectations. From the quality of stone work to the attention to details, their work exemplified craftsmanship. In an area where stone workers are abundant we recommend #1 Stonescaping to anyone who asks or see our beautiful patio. Thank you Dave, Chad and Dan.
— Matt Sloane
My wife and I had a 30 yr old side front entry walkway replaced with new pavers professionally designed and installed by #1 stonescape. We are thrilled with the results. Dave and his crew did an excellent job and the project was competively priced! The new walkway in my opinion improves the curb appeal of our home and therefore has a positive impact on our home's value. Thanks
— Daniel West
We started out having Dave and the guys put in a patio. Then we added a pathway to the back yard shed. They did such a great job we had them resurface our front stairs, put in a new walkway in the front yard and redo all our landscaping. I Highly recommend #1 Stonescaping. They were very professional yet they took the time to personally go over what was being done and how to care for everything. Now I can enjoy sitting out in my backyard! Thanks guys!
— Denise Conroy
Working with Dave and his crew was a great experience. Dave offered great suggestions and ideas and was flexible when I changed my mind and helped greatly when I could not make decision. He was receptive to our ideas and used our ideas in the design. I was able to be hands-on when I wanted to be and Dave took me to the nursery on several occasions to pick out the plants and trees. The crew was always on time and great guys to work with and left the work area spotless at the end of the day. We are thrilled with the patio and the fire pit as it is a work of art. We would not hesitate to recommend Dave and his crew to our friends and family for any landscaping/hardscaping projects.
— Julie Macri
Great work! Our front lawn was in need of serious help and Dave and company transformed it into a work of art! Nice job - would highly recommend these guys!
— Mark & Judy Werner
I have had the privilege of working with Dave and his team on 3 major projects over past several years. The outstanding quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail and creativity one recieves by becoming a client of Dave's is hard to come by these days. As a bonus, you get honesty, reliability and above all else, integrity. That's hard to beat in anybody's book!!"
— John Sano
We had a large amount of landscaping and a fire pit feature completed for us. This crew went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and a terrific product. They did the job in a professional manner and were creative with the materials we had on the property. They created an impressive fire pit, a terrific lawn and a stone picnic area for my kids (a complete, and creative, surprise). I recommend this company and crew as they are the most professional folks I have come across in years.
— John Frederick
This company did a great job! They were all very hard workers and couldn't have been any nicer. They paid attention to detail and took pride in their work. The outcome was beautiful.
— Cindy Phillips
Dave and his crew did a top notch job with our front walkway! While the original "walkway" had turned into a cracked, subterranean path, the new stone work actually gives our old home some true curb appeal.
I would say that you should "work" with these guys on your next outdoor project, but work isn't the right word: They'll do all the work for you. It didn't take much time both for the actual work to be completed and for the fantastic design to become a reality.

Dave came highly recommended for his great stonework and reliability and it quickly became apparent why. He spent time discussing ideas and options. He guided me to a solid design that will last for many years. He made sure I truly loved the choices before he set them in stone (pardon the pun).
When I began this project, I had only selected the base stone. It mwas Dave's vision and expertise that created the final product....an absolutely gorgeous patio. He was wonderful to work with. He was very respectful of my neighbors and cordial to everyone. When he said he was going to be there, he was and completed the job earlier than scheduled.

Very simply put - we are more than satisfied with the work done by Dave and his staff. The design of our yard and patio are special and it was a pleasure working with these men. Dave listened to what we hoped to achieve and offered ideas that worked out perfectly. When we proudly showed our friends the work that had been done their comment was "a picture of this belongs in the Better Homes & Gardens magazine". What a compliment to Dave and the staff.
— Tom & Laura Robertson
We contacted Dave thinking we knew what landscaping design we wanted for the front of our home.Dave came to us, listened patiently, offered design suggestions and did not pressure us to make a quick decision which we appreciated. His patience and honest opinions,based on many years of experience, made us feel very comfortable in having him design and construct the area in front of our home. The end result is awesome. The curb appeal has been greatly enhanced and should only get better as the plantings grow and flourish. Working with Dave from start to finish without an intermediary was an added benefit. Few business owners/contractors will walk you through the entier process. Dave's vision, honesty, sense of humor, attention to detail, and staying on schedule were key for us in having this work done. We will definately contact Dave next year to move forward with designing other areas of our property. Hell of a job! Thanks.

It was May, and as usual my dad was looking to make our home more beautiful than it already is. He was expanding our pool area with Lyme stone bordering where the new fence would be. Then tragedy took mplace and my mother unexpectedly passed away. Left heartbroken and lost with questions and asking why... The new project was put on hold. Then after a little time my father decided that he would in mfact finish it for no other reason than it would give him something to do. Stonescaping came to do the patio, and did an amazing job! Their professionalism and hard work surpasses all expectations. They created a beautiful patio where my mother can shine down on and watch her grandchildren grow. We thank you for making helping to make this dream come true!
— Ashley Maki
We recently had a very small (by comparison to other projects) job done by Dave. Several large limestone pieces were placed to define a corner of our front plantings. They look excellent, as if they have been there for years. Dave has a great eye, definitely knows his work and takes pride in it as well. We will have him back to expand on this job for sure!
— Pat Shannon
In late July 2011 the guys from #1 Landscaping did some landscaping and stone work for us. These were among the hottest days in memory and these guys busted their butts removing an old concrete porch, as well as ripping out some of our ancient evergreens. After the demolition they proceeded to build a little landscape wall and add new shrubs and plants. They also built a new stone porch and resurfaced the other one. All of their work was outstanding and has improved the look of our house greatly.It was a complete face lift to the outside of our house and we are extremely happy with the results. Our thanks to the staff at #1 for a fantastic job!!!!
— Kev and Cheryl Ryan
The front of our house needed a facelift and with Dave's suggestions and attention to detail, it has been transformed. Refacing front steps, new supporting pillars, an attractive new walkway and great landscaping make it a place you are proud to come home to. Great service, hard work and fabulous results provided by a professional, conscientious and friendly crew.
— Carol Ruff
Dave Lawler, Ed, Chuck and Dan installed a new patio, fireplace, benches and landscaped my entire backyard. The end result was amazing! I would recommend this crew to anyone as they are professional, insightful, a pleasure to work with and trustworthy. They know the business, are fair, they listened to me as their customer and directed me when I needed their eye and guidance with my backyard project. The time they spent on my backyard recreating the outdoor living space will continue to pay me back as an investment for years. I would gladly show anyone needing a reference what they've done to improve my home. This is the second time I've had work done. In 2006, my front yard was landscaped and the curb appeal has made this the nicest property on my street. Thank you to a great group of guys who've made my outdoor space that much more enjoyable! It was a true home makeover. You're the best in my book and in the business as far as I'm concerned!
— Nancy Lyng
We have been clients of Dave and Ed for several years and have not only been thoroughly pleased with their work, but find them easy to deal with. Last year they completed a stone patio and deck for us and we really love the end results! Even after this harsh winter, it looks as great as when they completed it last June. We always feel that our personal lifestyle- with grandchildren and a dog sharing the space- is taken into account when designs are created. They are punctual and have completed jobs when the weather and other house projects have made it difficult. We highly recommend them.
— Ann and Gary Lala
There are not quite enough adjectives to describe the quality of workmanship that Stonescaping offers. The entire staff workedto transform our formerly neglected backyard into a haven.

We are extremely pleased with the workmanship, design and quality of our patio transformation. We extended our bluestone patio and created an outdoor grill/bar that is perfect for entertaining.
Through the vision of Dave and his workers, we trusted their experience and professional work and are very happy with the end result.
