Krugel Cobbles, Inc.

Katy at Calafia Landscape Design introduced us to Jon Hirsch at Krugel Cobbles for the hardscape design of the project. Jon was so helpful with recommending the tile and space size of what we needed. A long the way we added pathways and an umbrella, and he was super accommodating. The communication between Katy and Jon was so streamlined it was stress free for us. Jon’s whole team, Matt, Manny Sr., and the rest of the team, were so friendly and respectful to our space. The team was very organized, Matt came in the morning and sometimes at the end of the day to check on the progress of the project. While Manny Sr and team did the physical work they communicated with Matt throughout the day. When there was an issue, they didn’t continue or cover it up, they would stop and waited for Matt to figure out how to move forward. The additional patio space and meandering pathways are so beautiful that it just looks like it should have been there from the beginning. So lucky to have them be part of this project.

We have a steeply sloping rear yard, and heavier rains have taken their toll on old retaining walls. Jon knew the solution for handling the water, and he constructed new retaining walls and steps. They look beautiful. His stonemasons also made a new bluestone entrance, which we continue to receive compliments on. His crew is organized, efficient, experienced, and they do outstanding work.

Krugel Cobbles installed all of the hardscape for our extensive fall 2020 landscaping project: flagstone terrace, stone wall with stone steps, stone paths, limestone front stoop and steps, and repaired our paver driveway. Management and the installation crew were attentive and hard working. The finished product is outstanding and we highly recommend the company.

We were have water collecting by the house (a trilevel) and starting to look like it could seep through a back door. Krugel Cobbles gave us an estimate that was higher than most, but the confidence Jon inspired and the customer service response was amazing. In addition to a solution for our drainage issues, we were given a gorgeous patio. We were told the timetable for installation and an email confirming that we were ready for the work on the day before. The work was done as described with care taken every step of the way. The employees were artisans in their crafts. We had a misunderstanding that was cleared up within 5 minutes. The result was so beautiful, more than we could imagine. We are having our pool demolished and I called Jon to see if I could convince him to take over. Unfortunately, this was not his forte so almost 6 weeks later, I still don't have my pool gone, but I do have a backplow sitting on my front lawn so maybe tomorrow? Krugel Cobbles exemplifies the way a company should work with it's customers.

This Summer we met Krugel Cobble and had the most amazing experience. They were professional, on time and did flawless work. We could not have been happier and i recommend them to anyone who wants a great experience. They are also true artisans at their craft!

Working with Jon and his crew was a complete pleasure in every way. They were professional on time clean & respectful. They clearly took their time to do the job correctly & when hiccups arose they were calm and provided excellent work arounds in the end the finished product was everything we hoped it would be our patio looks fantastic! JON and his crew even came back to clean a stain we caused after the pavers were installed. A+++ experience!!

We received quotes from three companies and while Krugel was not the least expensive, they had the best ideas and strong attention to detail in their plans. Their work was exceptional and the team was as friendly, professional, and timely as you can get. The new driveway and brickwork (banding/apron and sidewalk) looks fantastic and has transformed the approach to our house. Thanks for the great work!

The folks at Krugel are complete professionals and worth every penny. They were timely with their installation and provided updates as we went through the project. I regret that I didn't hire them initially when we installed our blue stone pathway as they needed to redo the previous contractor's work.

Last summer Jon and his crew created a beautiful backyard patio with a firepit and built-in grill for our home. We got several different bids but there was no question we were going to go with Jon after talking with him the first time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Equally important is that he has a team of highly skilled and experienced employees. Many of them have decades of experience. There are many companies out there that do hardscapes but very few, if any, that do as well as Krugel Cobbles. We also really appreciated that he was always available to answer our questions by phone and/or email. As we watched the patio being built you could tell his team are true craftsmen and we really appreciated the attention to the small details of the project. We couldn't be happier with how the project turned out. They also coordinated well with our landscape designer and the project was completed on-time and on budget. There were no surprise charges. We have already hired Jon and his team again this year to replace worn out door sills. That project also turned out flawlessly. We will have some more projects down the road and will only be using Jon because we know the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism will be second to none.

Jon and his crew completely rebuilt all of the hardscaping at our home. They also did a big project for us many years ago and we were thrilled to work with them again. We used some extremely oversized, difficult to handle pavers on this project and the results are amazing. The crews were great, Jon was incredibly responsive and I couldn’t be more thrilled with our ‘new’ old home.

Krugel Cobbles Review Anyone logging onto the website of Krugel Cobbles would be impresses by the variety and quality of the projects portrayed. From these samples, my husband and I were convinced Krugel Cobbles has the skills and experience to handle the reconstruction of the front walk and steps to our over-100-years-old Victorian house in the Lakewood Balmoral Historic District. The concerns were: “Will such an accomplished outfit be interested in taking up a project of only 25’x10’? Will the cost be prohibitive?” We were intimidated and hesitant! Our landscape designer encouraged us to give it a try, and we are very glad we followed that advice. Jon Hirsch, Krugel’s manager, was able to swing by and survey our project within a few days between their other projects in the city. The moment we saw Jon walk into our yard, we knew we would have no problem discussing our project with him. Jon’s easy going personable demeanor put us at ease immediately, and his esthetic awareness and artistic sensitivity inspired and encouraged us to explore freely for a front walk we could be proud of. Krugel’s extensive connection allowed us to encounter stones that we had never been aware of during previous visits at many stone yards. In the meantime, Krugel was also able to match the more-than 100-year-old bricks so the rebuilt steps integrate seamlessly with the existing foundation. Throughout the project, Jon brought in highly professional craftsmen and closely supervised the details of the progression of the work. Many neighbors came by to admire the stately yet unpretentious front steps and the one-of-the-kind front walk. At the conclusion of the project, Jon said to me: “After more than 4,000 projects we have done, this is the only one of this kind. I am proud of how it came out.” We are too! And it was within our budget!

This past summer, Jon and his Krugel team expanded our back patio and installed a built-in fire pit. They suggested ways to keep the cost down (reused some of our old patio bricks) and suggested putting in an accent strip around the edge. We took their advice and it came out looking fantastic! The project was under budget and completed much quicker than expected.
