My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cornerstone Landscapes provided us with exceptional service! Our project included significant below-ground work on a comprehensive drainage system and Gregory Hyman, President and Marco Bruno, Vice President served as outstanding project managers. The two of them responded to all our questions and requests quickly and with a high degree of professioal integrity. Hyman, Bruno, and their team of workers provided reliable service. The onsite team worked the entire time they were on the job except for a short lunch break. No lallygagging! We were impressed. The quality of the work is outstanding. This team is professional, skilled, responsive and efficient. Estimates were reasonable with no inflating. Any difficulties in executing the work were addressed immediately. Excellent communication with quick responses. We were very satisfied with the outcome of the project and highly recommend Cornerstone Landscapes.

We did a major backyard overhaul via Cornerstone Landscapes. We are extremely happy with the outcome. Gregory and Marco are a great team and their work crew is top notch. We appreciated their project management style (always promptly returned call, showed up on time, were very "open book" with regards to estimating, and helped us work within our budget by offering more cost-effective options). We hope to work with them again when we're ready to re-do our front yard.

These folks did a large complicated (hardscape landscape lighting drainage fencing) project for us. Communication was tops as was quality of work and materials. Kept us updated in real time on their project management software.

After an unusually heavy rainfall, we had ground water seepage from under our house to an inside closet. Cornerstone's Gregory Hyman visited the house with a well seasoned helper, spent half a day diagnosing the exact location of the problem and designed an extensive gravity flow French drain system. The completed systems appears to have solved several issues, including replacement of a generally inaccessible under-house sump pump. The location of the project made it difficult to budget the time exact labor required for the project and Cornerstone provided an estimated "not to exceed cost" and quite honorably, lowered the final bill, when the project was completed with less labor than anticipated. In short, we received a well done project at a fair price. We can't recommend Cornerstone highly enough.

Gregory and Marco, the co-owners, were easy to work with, responsive, and help to change the project on the fly as we hit cost constraints and other issues that inevitably arise during any construction project (e.g., the existing flagstone could not be salvaged because prior owners had cemented it into the ground!). The crew was very respectful and kept the work area clean.

Cornerstone Landscapes has our highest recommendation. They constructed an extensive remodel of our townhouse yard, including removal of an old deck, installation of a slab and slate multi-sized tiles, composite deck, gate, fountain, hedge, border planting, and irrigation. The work is absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for. Gregory, Diego and crew are true artists! Much of the work was completed while we were out of town and we were able to trust them to perform at the highest level and communicate their progress. The inevitable modifications were handled promptly and fairly in our opinion. Although there were some scheduling delays to start the project, it was certainly worth the wait.

This was a job with topographical constraints which alluded us for 5 years. Greg and his crew designed a floor and elevation plan that combined an outdoor patio/BBQ area, fire pit, cactus garden, and raised veggie garden area all on a sloping terrain. I had an idea of what I wanted and Greg perfected it. This was not an easy job but the results were outstanding-our neighbors are very impressed! Thanks Greg and your team!! George Z.

We are so pleased with our dream-come-true-landscape project. Originally anticipating merely replacing a concrete patio with brick in our small backyard, Gregory and his team at Cornerstone Landscapes helped us to create a backyard oasis. Listening to our desire for layering plants and more privacy, Gregory was great at understanding our ideas and what was important to us. His hardscape and plant design input took us from a basic back yard to an area with outdoor dining, BBQ area, gathering and gardening – working with Gregory and crew was collaborative in the best of ways. The entire team at Cornerstone are wonderful to work with – friendly, professional, always on time and they maintained a clean and tidy workspace. Gregory was easy to contact and consistently available either via text, call or onsite to answer questions before, during and after the project. Although our project was modest in scale, we got the best of Gregory and his team and we highly recommend Cornerstone Landscape.

Gregory and his team were consummate pros. Clear communication, quick responses, and took the time to explain each step in the process. We got multiple bids for our project but Cornerstone's was a) the lowest and b) more flexible, with Gregory explaining where we could spend / save money if we wanted to. He was clearly trying to meet our needs, not oversell us on extras that we didn't need. Throughout the project, Gregory communicated when they expected to be on site or not to ensure it worked for us. They completed it on time and we're loving our new firepit. Looks great! We'd hire them again in an instant next time we have a major landscaping / backyard project.

Gregory and his team (Hi Diego!!) did a great job on our extensive backyard redo. They are a one stop shop having done everything from demo to completion. They installed beautiful flagstone patios, retaining rock walls, utilities, an outdoor kitchen, plantings and irrigation for us. They were very responsive to our concerns, and flexible with changes. We love our new outdoor living space. Would highly recommend!

Greg and crew were wonderful to work with. They truly met us where we were in comfort level with our dream project, budget and creative ideas. Greg and crew consistently were happy to exceed our expectations. I feel they personally care about the quality of their work, the happiness of the homeowner and the overall outcome of the project. If you want a friendly, trust worthy perfectionist who cares as much as you do about your project then Cornerstone Landscapes is right for you. Thanks so much Greg. We are so happy.
