Featured Reviews for Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan

LaurelRock
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2014
“In 2012 after living in our house for the last 18 years, we decided to update our 1970's colonial rather than move. This project included the landscaping as well as the home itself. After looking at many landscape companies and numerous properties, we decided to hire The LaurelRock Company. We felt that their landscape designers were very current and had a way of listening and interpreting a very botanically uneducated clients wishes! They married our newly remodeled home with our existing pool as if it had always been built this way. The outcome was a very cohesive project that was handled with the utmost professionalism and timeliness. Thank you LaurelRock for helping us have the home of our dreams !”
The Brooklyn Garden Club Inc.
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 10, 2015
“I wanted a unique Brooklyn backyard that was striking and pleasing. Something that maximized its size, shape, sun and shade. I believe that was accomplished to the max. FireDean was always up front with time and cost. He provided a blueprint and photoshop picture of the finished garden and an itemized list of all plants, material and labor costs. Any changes were agreed upon beforehand. The stonework took a little longer than expected because of his attention to detail. Our back and forth communication was always prompt and complete. I trust FireDean to always do excellent work. He prides himself on his finished product and pleasing his customer. He did both in my case. I know I'll have years of pleasure with my backyard.

Philippe Soule Landscape Design
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2014
“Philippe Soule has worked with me for the past four years to design, install, expand and maintain the gardens around my home in Columbia County. While most of the jobs pictured on his web site are city or town gardens, my property is a country house of relatively recent construction. Some work had been done at the property by a different contractor, but it was not properly scaled to the house and was not satisfactory. Philippe listened extremely well to my own ideas, and came up with a new planting plan that was responsive to my parameters while introducing wonderful new elements that I never would have come up with. He was able to make use of almost all of the plant material that was already on-site (though it was moved around and significantly augmented). He has a great sense of proportion and composition, and he knows his plants. The job involved laying out extensive new beds, and Philippe and his team laid them out well and brought in significant soil to make sure that everything would be properly planted. The initial planting looked very good the first year, but really came into its own in year two. Plants were thoughtfully selected to ensure year-round interest. Since Philippe's initial planting, he has added to the gardens with significant new plantings (some new beds near the house, and more trees around the property) each year. Philippe and his team have done all of the garden maintenance, and they keep the place looking great. His team are conscientious and professional. I could not be happier with their work.”
Dian Barnes Landscape Design, LLC
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 4, 2016
“We have been using Dian Barnes for all of our landscape design projects for nearly 10 years (including 2 large scale projects and ongoing maintenance) and have been extremely happy with her work. She is experienced, creative, personable, and easy to work with. She is reliable with deadlines and commitments and takes pride in her work. Best of all, the end result is stunning!!! A few years ago, she helped us with our pool project. (see pics of Avon Staycation project). We installed an in-ground pool, and built a pool house. She was involved in the project from the very beginning. Not only did she design all landscaping related to the project, but she helped us manage the whole project overall, from selection of contractors, assistance with decision-making on a million tiny details, and project management during the installation phase, to final touches like gorgeous planters (which she continues to maintain for us each year). I can't say enough about how fabulous her work has been. We will continue to use Dian Barnes for all of our landscape design work for years to come!”
Perennial Landscaping
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2015
“Hired Perennial Landscaping for some design and landscape work. They were very professional, courteous and did excellent work for a reasonable cost. I actually had them do more work then originally intended to do being work looked so good and I feel added value to my home and property. They did plantings and hardscape with design that was computer driven with pictures of area before hand and I was able to see what it would look like before work was ok'd ! Cant be happier and it looks great ! Very easy to work with and I am waiting for warmer weather to have them back to do some stonework and more landscaping.”
One Nature
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 18, 2014
“Bryan Quinn of One Nature advised me on the planning and design of a wetland improvement project funded through the Natural Resources Conservation Service involving development of two ponds and restoration of native habitats within the surrounding areas comprising about 15 acres.. After evaluating site conditions and laying out an overall conceptual plan for habitat zones, nature trails and observation points, he prepared a detailed plan and specs for planting groves of trees, site maintenance and circulation for areas immediately surrounding the ponds as well as supervision of site work. The work went quickly, on schedule and Mr. Quinn was very professional, generous with time and paid attention to detail, and within budget.”
Brook Clark Landscape Architects
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 12, 2023
“When I purchased my home last year the landscape was neglected and was in need of a full update including planting and hardscape. Brook Clark came highly recommended by my neighbor and his property looks amazing! My goal was to have a natural-looking landscape with a contemporary feel and BCLA delivered just that. The Master Plan addressed everything on my wishlist and the construction documents make the bidding and installation process easy. Well worth the investment to have a landscape architect guide me through the process from start to finish. Now that the job is complete I am proud to host outdoor gatherings in my beautiful yard!”
LDAW Landscape Architecture, PC
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 28, 2012
“LDAW remodeled my pool and plantings for the landscape around the pool. They also designed the plantings for the front of my home. This is an extremely professional organization and I would use them again. Estimates are done by the owner and his drawings will explain exactly what to anticipate. The laborers are on time, reliable and take a lot of pride in their work. The owner is available and will return calls if need be. I cannot see how things could have gone better for both of these large projects for my home.”
Blue Heron Landscape Design, LLC
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 10, 2015
“Scott and Blue Heron Landscape Design are wonderful. Created a beautiful bird/butterfly garden and walkway that totally transformed our back deck area. They are courteous, professional, and go above and beyond. Would most definitely use them again and again when I need landscaping help!”
Hortulus Animae llc - Mindful Garden Design
Hardscaping Contractors in East Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 29, 2015
“Hortulus Animae - Mindful Garden Design created a gorgeous front walk way for our home - railings, lighting and blue slate steps. I was not a fan of railings and worried that although they were necessary, they would look big and clunky. I was thrilled with Jean-Marc's unique and beautiful vine railings that are perfect for the setting. We get compliments on them every time we have guests. He was also quick to make sure they were as functional as they are beautiful. We feel very grateful for his vision!”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration of a hardscaping project can vary widely depending on the projectʼs complexity, size, material availability, and weather conditions. Smaller projects like a simple patio can take a few days to a week, while larger projects like a complete outdoor kitchen or extensive retaining walls can take several weeks to months. An experienced contractor will provide a realistic timeline upfront, factoring in planning, design approvals, and potential unforeseen delays.
Your hardscaping contractor is a valuable resource in selecting materials that are durable, suitable for your climate, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that the design complements your homeʼs exterior and landscape. They can inform you about the latest trends, such as sustainable and eco-friendly materials, or timeless designs that maintain their appeal. However, trends should be balanced with personal preference and long-term practicality.
Homeowners should clarify their budget, design preferences, and functionality needs. Researching and having inspirational images or a vision board can help communicate your ideas to the contractor effectively. Itʼs also crucial to clear the project area of personal items and, if necessary, secure permits or ensure the contractor handles permit acquisition. Discussing logistics like project access, noise, and dust management upfront can prevent misunderstandings.
Effective communication between homeowners and contractors is key to addressing challenges. Setting clear expectations, having a detailed contract, and establishing regular updates can mitigate issues. Challenges such as weather delays, unexpected ground conditions, or material shortages require flexibility and understanding from both parties. An experienced contractor will manage these challenges professionally, keeping the project on track as much as possible.
When meeting with a potential contractor, inquire about their experience with projects similar to yours, their process from design to completion, timeline and budget estimation, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Itʼs also important to ask for references, certification, insurance details, and how communication will be handled throughout the project. This ensures transparency and sets the foundation for a successful partnership.
Yes, many contractors now offer eco-friendly hardscaping options, such as permeable paving, recycled materials, and locally sourced stones, which reduce environmental impact and can improve your homeʼs sustainability. Discussing these options with your contractor can reveal opportunities to incorporate green practices into your project, from reducing runoff with permeable surfaces to selecting materials that require less energy to produce and transport.
