What Our Clients Say

Josh is great to work with. He understood our vision for our backyard landscaping project and made it happen. His crew was friendly and professional, and they got the job done very quickly. We’re extremely pleased with the work!

-Adrienne Shepard

Josh and his crew at Earth and Stone did an amazing job–from the initial consultation, to the actual laying out of the irrigation and planting of seed for a new lawn, to follow-through after completion of the project. Josh was responsive to my concerns and worked with me when I had questions and even a few changes I needed to make midstream. Thank you, Earth & Stone! My yard went from a muddy field to a beautiful landscaped lawn!

-Liz Eschleman

From start to finish, Josh and his team were outstanding. They kept us consistently updated, answered all our questions promptly, and completed the work with excellent quality and efficiency. Highly professional and reliable, we’re very happy with the results!
