Exclusive Stoneworks, LLC

I spent several months interviewing and researching hardscape companies to do our backyard renovation. I came across several companies that had fake reviews on Google, others that said they could do it all. Some had pushy sales tactics, you name it. Then I met Rich from Exclusive Stonework’s Custom Hardscapes, I immediately knew we found the right person and the right company to work with. I could not have imagined just how much they SURPASSED our expectations. Rich came out to view the project and spent time thinking about every aspect of the job. He is truly a design genius, and his decades of experience in the business are evident. He measured thoroughly to ensure he accounted for the different land heights throughout my backyard and protect my basement from water. He asked me key questions to make sure his design was specific to our needs and wants. He was honest, thorough, and extremely detailed. After we signed the proposal, he took us to pick out the stones and walked us through the timeframe. On day 1, he came bright and early with his team to introduce everyone and went over the scope of work. The entire team was so professional and dedicated to their craft. Anthony, Matt, and Santos were assigned to my project. They were extraordinary. They not only arrived early every single day but also left the space neat and organized at the end of each workday. They were so respectful of my property, leaving everything neat and organized at the end of each workday. I had several neighbors approach me about the way they worked, also noting how impressed they were. My husband and I are so thrilled with the final product. Rich, Anthony, Matt, and Santos really did exceed all our expectations. We could not be more pleased. We went from an old basic two-level backyard to a gorgeous, well lit oasis. We plan on hosting our friends and family for years to come. We will need to do our front steps and retaining wall soon, and we will not consider any other company to do this work. They really are the BEST IN CLASS and are such a pleasure to work with.

We had a project to put our yard back together after lighting hit 3 trees and knocked out all lighting. I called Exclusive Stoneworks and Rich. Explained what happened and he came right over to put an estimate together for us to move forward. We had some prep work to do and Rich was so generous in lending one of his main workers to come help with the prep. Who does that? Rich does! He and his team are so professional and attentive you don’t have to worry about anything. Quality craftsmanship, expert site work and just great people. They’re the BEST!

We hired rich and his team to revamp our backyard space, and have zero complaints about the process ! Rich and the team were accommodating and kind from day one, and not only delivered a beautiful backyard, but also a stress free experience from beginning to end. Rich is honest, and provides sound advice throughout the build. He brought our vision to life!

We hired Rich and Exclusive Stoneworks for our backyard hard scape. The team couldn’t have been more professional, respectful of the property and they worked as if it was their place and we’re going to enjoy the results themselves. They are so detail oriented and project capable. Part of our project included a rather large Woodstone gas fired pizza oven. Clearly a large addition to our outdoor space and weighing over 1800 lbs. Rich and his team rose to the occasion by reaching out to the manufacturer to review installation specs, facade fabrication and overall assembly requirements. We have enjoyed using the outdoor space all year long. - we hired Exclusive Stoneworks to add additional grilling/smoker appliances. The area was bare and accessibility was difficult as getting to the selected spot required moving over and through already completed landscaping. The team protected the existing space. You would have never known they were there. The space needed to be cleared, graded and planted. While the area is in the woods it is like an oasis one in which we enjoy smoking all sorts of items. Exclusive is caring, protective and highly professional. Their like family

Rich and his team installed a large (4 ft x 70 ft) retaining wall as well as a patio on our property in 2021. Rich was great to work with through our ever changing design ideas, and through a very challenging (for everyone) 2020 season. The job came out immaculate and it was everything I had envisioned when I first contacted Rich. The pricing was honest and tracked with other estimates we got, Rich was up front about any and all scheduling updates, and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. Truly great to work with from the start of the job to finished product. I'm currently scrambling to find more project for Rich and his team to work on, because I know the work will be incredible.

Rich's work is great. Crews are very skilled and professional. Their jobs are well run and they make the process easy. I hope to work with them again soon!

Rich and Exclusive Stoneworks are by far the most professional, creative, honest and hard working team to have work on our property and made our patio look amazing. We were stuck "holding the bag" after a contractor left us, not only was Rich and his team there for us but showed us exactly what he was going build for us with computer generated pics and then went out and built EVERYTHING he promised. A+ materials, extremely clean and a more than fair estimate. Would recommend 10x's over and then some.

My wife and I completely renovated a townhouse in Ridgewood, NJ. Of all the professionals and contractors who worked on the project, the best experience and tremendous outcome was with Rich Andreau of Exclusive Stoneworks. It began with a beautiful and creative custom stone design for our outdoor living space. Exclusive Stoneworks did everything they promised; on time; on budget; excellent workmanship; clean and crisp from start to finish without delay. Everything promised was delivered and the result exceeded our expectations. It is a pleasure working with a skilled professional who takes obvious pride in every aspect of his business. Exclusive Stoneworks came highly recommended - and we are so glad we hired them. It is hard to find this level of aptitude and construction quality. We are so proud of the design and finished product. We are pleased to recognize Rich and his team. Very well done from start to finish.

One of the best designers and builders out there, hands down! Not only is Rich an intuitive and creative designer, he puts his heart and dedication into each project. The product selections he chooses for each design work cohesively together to create any exceptional living space, of any style. If you're looking for quality built designs that you and your family can enjoy year after year, then you've come to the right place.

As a designer, the professionals I bring onto my projects are the most important element of my designs. Selecting Rich and his crew as my preferred mason was easy. His level of expertise, attention to detail, and ability to listen to the aesthetic goals of each project set him apart from other companies in the field. He is professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Looking forward to our next collaboration together.

We had Rich do a backyard renovation that included a fireplace, built in BBQ, new patio and lighting. I highly recommend him based on his design, craftsmanship and work ethic. From start to finish he did a great job! Helped with the design, material selection and once we got started he was there everyday to completion of the project. We love our new backyard!

Having worked with dozens of Mason's and landscape/hardscape contractors over the last decade, Rich and his team at exclusive stone works have set a standard for construction and implementation that's is unparalleled. Their execution is perfect and their ideas are incredible. They are reliable and stick to the schedules they provide. I have always found their pricing to be appropriate and fair. His photographs just don't to his work justice!!! I highly recommend him.
