The area looks great and I'm very happy with their work. **Comment from The Cornerstone Landscape Group:** > Thank you Joe! You patio was really fun, and turned out great. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Sam Lengerich, Jan. 2022** > In the summer of 2021 Cornerstone Landscape competed a terrific patio and landscape design at our lake home. I would recommend their services to everyone. Their level of detail and respect for your property is at the highest level. All commitments were kept and deadlines met. Cornerstone Landscape is described perfect by the cliche "you get what you pay for". I'm sure there are companies cheaper, but you won't get the detail and quality you get from Cornerstone. > > I hope this helps someone that considers making the investment of a patio or landscape project. **Comment from The Cornerstone Landscape Group:** > Thank you for your kind words. We really enjoyed doing this for you! **★★★★★ — Donna Kline, Oct. 2018** > Do not hesitate to hire the Cornerstone Landscape Group! From the very first meeting we felt very confident with Tim's professionalism and integrity, and that impression did not waiver through the completion of the project. The design on paper was exactly what we wanted, and ended up better than we had imagined. During installation every worker was just as professional as Tim, and meticulous about their work. Tim stopped by several times to check on the progress and lend a hand himself, and has always been very responsive to emails and phone calls whenever questions came up. We live on a corner lot, and our new "courtyard" has become the talk of the neighborhood. The project was not inexpensive, but Cornerstone stuck to the budget, and the result was well worth the price. **Comment from The Cornerstone Landscape Group:** > Thank you Donna! We're blushing! We value the kind words. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — stucker71, Dec. 2015** > Tim and his crew did a fantastic job, from planning and design conception to project management and execution. The entire team was always very professional, worked very hard, and with the exception of several weather delays, got job done timely and within budget parameters. I would highly recommend the Cornerstone Landscape Group for any major landscape projects and I will certainly use them again! **Comment from The Cornerstone Landscape Group:** > Thank you for this glowing review. We will be sure to pass it on to all those involved with your project! **★★★★★ — gabbie1976, Dec. 2015** > I asked Cornerstone to help me with my outdoor Christmas decorating. Mr. Tim Pancake did an amazing job!!! I was not even sure what i wanted, but he came up with design. It was amazing!!! He is always professional, courteous and patient! The men who came out to do the work actually were smiling while working!!! They did an excellent job & i could not be happier with the outcome! I recommend this company to everyone I know! Thank you, Cornerstone!!! **Comment from The Cornerstone Landscape Group:** > Thank you for the compliments! I will be sure to pass them on to the men who did your install. Request: We also have a profile for Brite Ideas Decorating Fort Wayne. Would you consider posting your review at the profile, as well? Thank you! **★★★★★ — geruepool, Dec. 2015** > Cornerstone group did a tremendous job with our project and we are extremely satisfied. The work done on the retaining walls, firepit, landscaping and rock work shows the versatility of this group. The time spent detailing the layout paid off. The team was dedicated to ensuring the work met our requests - it exceeded it. Great group, professional and dedicated. We will definitely ask them back for future work. **★★★★★ — cgweir, Feb. 2015** > We have enjoyed working with Cornerstone Landscaping and have used them on 2 projects so far. The design work has been excellent as well as the workmanship and follow up. **★★★★★ — akingrrt, Feb. 2015** > We had Cornerstone design and build a water feature in our front yard. We had a "rough" idea of what we wanted, but no specific details. Cornerstone took our rough ideas and polished them up-- presenting us with a detailed plan and drawings. Once we approved the plans, Cornerstone came out and painted the proposed outline of the pond so we could visualize it and make sure it was the size we wanted, in the location we wanted. During construction, the guys were very careful to park out of our way-- and no debris was left laying around. The foreman gave us frequent progress reports. We had a minor problem-- we noticed some leaking-- and the supervisor came out the next day to assess the situation and repair the problem. No hassle. The finished pond is gorgeous! We can't wait for Spring! Cornerstone is going to help us get some water lilies and goldfish started in the pond-- and maybe some plantings around it. I wish we had a photo to post-- but the pond is covered in about a foot of snow right now! We'll post in the Spring. **★★★★★ — Sherri Bontrager, Feb. 2015** > Tim and his entire crew were very professional from start to finish including needing to work through a number of unexpected plan and design changes. To me, I look at how an organization deals with those things as much as anything else and this group is top notch! Their work and designs ultimately added great value to our home and property. **★★★★★ — Robin Hawkins, Feb. 2015** > Cornerstone Landscape was a very professional company. We had them do work for us two times. The first time was installing new landscaping because we had just built our home. I told him the kind of plants I would like and he worked them into the professional blueprints that he presented. He would also let me know what plants would work and what kind of experience he had with certain plants that I asked about. Images were shown when I wasn't clear what they looked like. They were a very easy company to work with. > Our second time he did work for us we had contacted him to put a retaining wall up for a new pool. He understood the time contraint that we were under and helped us out immensley. It was a larger project than what we had envisioned. It was done quickly and professionally considering the size of the rocks that were needed for the job. We also had them install a path made with pavers and I absolutely love it. It is very even and easy to walk on. The pavers have stayed put through two winters now, no movement at all. We were very happy with all that Cornerstone Landscape did for us. **★★★★★ — Donna Yngstrom, Oct. 2013** > The Cornerstone Landscape Group has been our full-service landscape contractor for the last twelve years. To say that their work is outstanding would be an understatement. My husband and I are thrilled with the service that we receive, and in my opinion, their attention to detail is unsurpassed by others in the field. We have completely redone our front and backyard landscaping with the help and expertise of Cornerstone Landscape Group. I am constantly receiving compliments on both my lawn and the landscaping (neither of which I can take credit for). We highly recommend this company! **★★★★★ — immrosie, Oct. 2013** > I hired Cornerstone to replace an old 700 gallon fish pond and the surrounding landscaping in my backyard. Using new technology, they were able to install a 1,300 gallon pond using the same footprint with a state of the art system to maintain the water levels and keep the pond clear and algae free. The edge of the pond was beautifully angled with stone and landscaped with perennials. In addition, they updated the waterfall and re-landscaped the pond area with beautiful groundcover and perennial plants and bushes. My pond is beathtaking, my fish are happy and my backyard is beautiful. > > The work was very professionally done by very knowledgeable people. The project was done within the timeframe I expected. > > I was very pleased with the results and working with Cornerstone was always a pleasure. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Landscaping to anyone who wants a quality job done. ## Selected projects - [Big Chapman Lake Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-chapman-lake-residence-pj-vj~5571018) - Location: Warsaw, IN - Photos: 13 - Description: Client desired an outdoor kitchen and living space to compliment upper deck we installed in 2015. We had a firm but reasonable timeline, due to Client hosting a wedding rehearsal party for their son and daughter-in-law in June 2018. Space was to accommodate comfortably groups as small as 2 and up to large parties. Our Client, being a self-described "foodie", desired a complete, high quality outdoor kitchen.
