Turnkey, great attention to detail, great responsiveness, extensive experience to guide us to an end-product we could not be more pleased with. > > We built an entirely new outdoor space including a pool, pavillion and landscaping. The entire team from design, to construction to landscaping was well organized, timely and a pleasure to work with. Attention to detail was high, weekly communication summaries were thorough and we always knew where the project stood. The team took great pride in their work and treated it as their own. We could not have been happier with the end result. I would highly recommend them to anyone undertaking a significant project. **★★★★★ — Rob DeMichiei, Feb. 2020** > We had Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes design and construct our outdoor living space. Their work was incredible! We received other quotes for the project; we found PSW to be the best VALUE...we weren't looking for the cheapest, but we also did not want to pay ridiculous prices. The PSW pricing was fair and reasonable, and we were able to make decisions on the products used that impacted the price; so we could invest in the areas that were important to us, but also save on features that weren't important. > > The design process was very good; it was iterative, and they were able to design the space based on our vision and our input. They were always timely, and there was great communiction throughout the process. > > The construction phase was very well managed; we were kept apprised of the schedule, any changes, delays or accelerations were communicated timely. The work was very high quality...no shortcuts. The project was completed by the deadline that was agreed to during the planning phase. > > The finished product was fantastic. We are so pleased with the work done, and we have a beautiful outdoor living space. During my nearly 30 years of home ownership, this is the most positive interaction I have ever had. I would recommend PSW to anyone and everyone. They are great, ethical, and a pleasure to work with. **Comment from PSW Living:** > Thank you for the amazing review, Rob! We look forward to working with you on future projects! **★★★★★ — Shel F, Sept. 2019** > After years of imagining and dreaming and reaching out to a handful of professionals who thought we were crazy, Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes helped us create the urban oasis of our dreams, including a 10x16 saltwater, heated, cocktail pool. We knew it wouldn't be an easy project, because of the small yard and the tight boundary lines, but Donnie, Josh, and the crews made things work, maximizing every inch, and the result is breathtaking. Everyone who walks through the gate can't believe we are still in Pittsburgh. The stone work is impeccable and, along with the landscaping, perfectly conveys the rustic ambiance we were going for. What's maybe most impressive is how quickly things came together once we broke ground. We were swimming a month later! If you're looking for more than a swimming pool ... if you're looking to create a complete entertainment experience in your backyard, I highly recommend Pgh Stone & Waterscapes. They are knowledgeable about every facet of the job, and they won't stop until you're happy. We're looking forward to working with them on future projects as well. Thanks, guys, for all your hard work! **Comment from PSW Living:** > We are so happy you liked it, Shel! We can't wait to see what you come up with next! **★★★★★ — Marc Zabicki, Nov. 2016** > I had a great experience with Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes from start to finish. They did an excellent job with design and patio construction and the crew was outstanding! We did an extensive multi-level paver patio project with lighting and a pergola. They kept me abreast of the job and were excellent in explaining the process. They were very flexible in affording me the opportunity to make necessary tweaks in design along the way. I would hire them again in a minute, and likely will as we already have ideas for a Phase II. **★★★★★ — Robert Veseleny, Jan. 2016** > I hired this company to install a waterfall in my backyard. They started on time, respected my property, cleaned up every day and finished the project on time and on budget. In a word, they were PROFESSIONAL. I believe they treated this project as an artistic endeavor. I would recommend Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes LLC without reservation. **★★★★★ — jgasbo1, May 2015** > We had PSaW install a paver patio at our home in North Park. We are 100% pleased with the great work that Jeff and his crew had done for us. They were very professional and detail oriented. The initial concept phase including 3-D plans really helped us visualize what the finished result would look like. No other contractor that we consulted does this type of work. We now have a beautiful living space in our backyard. We can't recommend this company enough! We are looking forward to phase 2 (an outdoor kitchen and barbecue) in the near future. **★★★★★ — Michael Fiem, April 2015** > Jeff came recommended through a friend. I had a few companies come out and give me ideas and proposed layouts. I have to say that from the beginning Jeff was really a step above the rest. The other two companies did rough sketches on paper and one later came back with an actual drawing. Jeff's design and layout were all done in a 3D computer model. I was truly blown away by his vision and his use of the software design. The project was quoted to take 45 days and his team finished in 42. At the end of the day they clean up site. This was important to me because of children in the neighborhood. I would highly recommend Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes to anyone. Thanks Jeff and Bob! **★★★★★ — Erik Gensler, April 2015** > My wife and I hired Jeff and his crew for this job not knowing what we would get from them. We heard that they were the best so we gave it a shot. After seeing the final product of our 1,100 square foot patio, I knew it was our best decision we could have made. From start to finish, Jeff, his dad (Bob), and the worker he used to construct the entire thing made it so easy and fun for us during the process from start to finish. We were so happy with the result we also hired them to do our accent lighting and landscaping as well. I am a firm believer in sticking with the same people throughout a procedure and this time I'm glad I did again. Thank you so much Jeff, Bob, and crew. **★★★★★ — dtmenousc, Oct. 2014** > Our choice of contractor ended up being easy. After seeing photos of past projects and the strength of PghSW's 3D design process, the choice was simple. Jeff does an outstanding job of describing the process as well as having a fantastic eye toward what works in the space provided. And what you see on the 3D design is truly what you get! > > PghSW installed a outdoor patio, pergola and firepit for us and we could not be more pleased with the result. Jeff and his crew are tremendous to have on such a project and were an absolute pleasure to have at our home during construction. It is clear from talking to them and watching them work that they are perfectionists who will deliver a first rate finished project to their customer. > > Thanks again for such an outstanding effort. People have literally stopped in from the street to compliment the work. We couldn't be happier. **Comment from PSW Living:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us! We are pleased you are satisfied with our work! **★★★★★ — tamarakeen, Feb. 2014** > I have hired Pghsw to do multiple projects at two different homes we owned. Jeff and his team are great to work with, do high quality work at a fair price, and are true professionals! Jeff came up with great hard scape design that complemented our home and landscape! We absolutely love our patio! It still looks as beautiful as it did the day it was finished. I highly recommend this company! Thank you Jeff and Bob! **Comment from PSW Living:** > Thank you so much for taking time to review our work! It was our pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — Carol Rose, Jan. 2014** > In 2009 our medium sized two level pond in our backyard needed to be rebuilt. The work was done by Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes. Since then they have also done the maintenance on the pond. They open it up in the spring and close it down in the fall and take care of any other upkeep needed in between. We have been thoroughly satisfied with the work they do. Our pond gets glowing comments from our guests on a regular basis. We have about 25 goldfish in the pond and they have really thrived since the pond was rebuilt. I have rarely had an opportunity to watch while the work is done. However this past fall I watched the workers clean up and close it down for the winter. Previously I had no idea of how involved the process is. The team really did outstanding work and I was moved to write an email to Mr. Blunkosky with compliments for his workers. I'm glad to write a very positive recommendation to their potential clients. I think that you will be very satisfied with their services. **★★★★★ — davlojoe, Jan. 2014** > We hired Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes to complete the landscaping and patio surrounding our new in-ground pool. Jeff Blunkosky came up with a beautiful design using a 3D program that showed us a 360 degree view of his vision. The design Jeff came up with was very helpful in making final decisions about the work we wanted completed. > > Jeff was very accessible during the entire project, was always available or came to the site when needed to answer any questions, concerns. Jeff was very professional, creative and easy to work with. > > Steve (crew foreman) was always on site and providing information concerning the status of the project progress. Steve took the time to answer any questions and was very polite and conducted himself in a very professional manner, as did his crew. > > Our project turned out better than imagined. Our backyard was transformed into our 'private oasis' that we enjoy tremendously during all seasons. > > We would definitely recommend Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes. We hope to continue to add to our backyard project and would not think twice about having Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes involved in the project. ## Selected projects - [Tranquil Escape in New Galilee, PA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-escape-in-new-galilee-pa-pj-vj~6976707) - Location: New Galilee, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: Tranquil Escape in New Galilee, PA The modern ranch-style farmhouse features a board and batten exterior in a neutral tone.
