**★★★★★ — msmith2323, Feb. 2015**

> I hired Platinum for a large backyard renovation project, which included a pool, hardscape and landscape.  Every experience I had, from the moment I met with the salesperson, to the meetings with the construction manager, were beyond my expectations.  The quality of the work performed was more than I ever imagined. I couldn't be happier with the finished product and have recommended Platinum to several friends and neighbors.  Thank you for your professionalism!

**★★★★★ — daratami, Feb. 2014**

> We are giving Platinum Site Development a 5 star rating for their professionalism, attention to detail, staff and overall job performance.  I had the pleasure of working with Anthony and Jason and the entire team 2012/2013.  The first job was a new walkway in the front of our house. Beautiful.  One year later, we completely gutted and rebuilt our entire backyard surrounding an existing pool.  You can see the pictures on this website named "North Shore Sanctuary".  New pool tiling, stonework, staircases, built in barbeque, firepit, railings, etc.... It was a huge job and their staff was unbelievably respectful and made sure the driveway was clean every day before they left.  Both Jason and Anthony were hands on project managers and extremely responsive!!!  One of my favorite parts was the 3D computer generated architectural  layout before the job began.  Amazing!!  We were thrilled with outcome of our project and would HIGHLY recommend!!!!!

**★★★★★ — dtradewoodbury, Feb. 2014**

> Platinum Site Development and their entire staff we're an absolute pleasure to work with.  The professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail by Anthony, Jason and the rest of their staff are second to none, beyond anything we could have imagined.  This was a big project with big ideas and they made sure they kept us up to the minute on the work schedule as well as always made us feel extremely comfortable without any stress.  Never a busy signal.  ALWAYS responsive.  We recommend them HIGHLY!!!!

**★★★★★ — Silver Fox Construction ltd, Feb. 2014**

> The attention to details on the projects We have worked on is Extremely high.  After over 20 years in the industry working in high end markets you can tell the difference between a good company and an average company.  The job sites are kept clean (no cigarette butts,  food wrappers or misc debris blowing around property)  Their workers are professional (no swearing or disgusting behavior)  It has been a pleasure to work with them on projects.  All of the projects we have worked on the customers were extremely happy with the work.

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2013**

> Knowledgeable and thorough. Punctual and respectful. Answer all your questions and then some. Make you feel very comfortable. Can't wait to have Platinum Site Development transform my backyard!!

**★★★★★ — Astro Masonry, May 2013**

> Platinum Site Development is a great company to work with. Professional timely and easy to deal with. You could not ask for more from a company.

**★★★★★ — mike1616, Feb. 2013**

> Replaced the driveway, walkway,front and side landscaping.  Platinum did a quality job within our budget and provided care and supervision that we required to make us enjoy the finished  product.

**★★★★★ — 291mike, Feb. 2013**

> Complete make over of our backyard from nothing more than dirt and grass into a three level patio including the signature water feature.  We now have a very functional, yet intimate, space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

**★★★★★ — snazario, Jan. 2013**

> My name is Sidney Nazario and I am a territory manager for Unilock NY, Inc. I have had the pleasure of working with Platinum Site Development several times over the past year and I can say with confidence that they are among the absolute best installers in New York/Long Island area.  Thier professionalism and attention to detail are second to none, and I give them my highest recommendation.  They recently completed a job in Brooklyn that was so well executed that it ended up being photgraphed for our company catalogue.  I would not hesitate to recommend them to a homeowner and I would choose them to work on my own home.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my experiences with this great company.

**★★★★★ — kevinearley, Dec. 2012**

> This construction firm does high-quality work in Long Island and has a reputation for designing and installing award-winning hardscaping and outdoor living environments.

**★★★★★ — katiag, Dec. 2012**

> Platinum site was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Throughout the project, they upheld the highest level of professionalism and quality of work. My husband and I were able to describe our wants and needs and there design team put together a backyard plan. In just a few weeks those design plans turned into reality and our backyard was totally transformed into an oasis. Everything from landscaping to masonry was done to perfection and exactly the way we discussed. We are very happy with our new backyard and will continue to enjoy it with our family and friends. I would absolutely recommend Platinum site to a friend.  Pictures to come!!!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Could you tell me the size of main body of the pool? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The main body of the pool without the sun deck and spa is 20'x40'.

**Q: Beautiful pool!  Can you tell me the color of the pool? Pebble tec?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The pool finish is simply dark charcoal grey marble dust. It has a dramatic effect in certain light conditions, and the variations in color make for a very natural look.

**Q: beautiful!!!!!!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please tell me the colors and styles that were used. I believe the paver is blue 60? What is the coping and border, and colors please

A: Blu60, 50/50 mix Harvest Gold and Chestnut Brown.  Double sailor Victorian border Onyx Black, Victorian Permeable soldier in Harvest Gold.  Pool Coping would be blue stone.  This project was sent to Michael Bonomo about a year ago, we would love to have it professionally photographed Techo-Bloc is interested.

**Q: OUR YARD!!!!!!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We have two decent sized SIDE yards.  However, we are a corner lot and only have about 7-9 feet directly behind the house connecting the two side yards.  We don't know how to make the yard inviting and realistic.  We almost never spend time in the yard because of this issue.

A: It is kind of hard to get an idea of the shape of your house.  Take a look at some of these designs and let me know if anything interests you.  To do a full property mock up, I would need the survey from your house as well as pictures from certain vantage points for my designers.  We incorporate all windows, door, chimneys....so we have a full working model and nothing is missed.

**Q: Need advice regarding brick for patio** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I would like to use used brick for an area around our pool but the cost may be prohibitive.  Is it possible to find wood mold brick pavers that have the same look as used brick?

A: With the advances in paver production over the last 10 years, the cost of producing paving stones has come down substantially.  Unfortunately as an ex manufacturer I can tell you that operating costs and raw materials has skyrocketed.  That being said, if this is a DIY project, there are lots of economy or off-shoot manufacturers that make products that are just as good as the name brands.  Concrete is concrete, it cant be changed much, the quality and care that goes into making them is what makes the difference and brings the cost up.

Remember the more complicated the design of the paver, the more money you will spend per SF.  Also the more processes that goes into production of the paver the more you will pay per SF.  For example a random 5 piece set with 3 color blend that is tumbled or antiqued, will cost roughly three times the cost of a basic Holland or 4'x8" paver in a single color.  With the right design, a Holland stone project can be made to look timeless.

If you need any advice, please feel free to ask!

**Q: Need help giving this Beach Cottage curb appeal Any ideas??** *(in Design Dilemma)*

This a newly purchased Beach house 3 houses from the Ocean I need ideas that would help give it some curb appeal

A: Stick with the beach community look, remove the current landscape and replace with ornamental grasses and native low lying planting.  Beach houses are typically kept low maintenance.
