On every job

What comes with the stone

  • A written scope

    The stone, the base, the drainage and the work area, on paper before any work starts.

  • A call to Dig Safe

    We call 811 and wait for the marks before we dig.

  • One crew

    The people at the site visit are the people on the job.

  • A walkthrough

    We walk it with you before the final payment, and again after the first winter if you ask.
