Patio and Seating Wall
The patio has provided so much enjoyment; I love everything about it and have received numerous compliments on it. I applaud you and your team's ability to understand what I wanted while finding effective solutions for the challenges in my yard. What once was a soggy mess is now an aesthetically appealing and functional space with perfect drainage. The seating wall certainly adds to its beauty and provides a barrier from the rest of the yard, making the patio cozier. I am very thankful a previously hired concrete contractor never showed up to do the job which ultimately led me to contacting your company.

The fireplace is awesome! You and your crew are awesome as well, and it was great working with them. We look forward to having you re-build our outdoor kitchen next Spring, and we have already recommended you to several people here in Brickshire.

Details of the Recommendation:
"I have had the pleasure of working with Josh on multiple levels and cannot express enough how impressed I am with his dedication to quality, customer service and professionalism. First, we hired Josh and his crew at Commonwealth Curb Appeal to install a beautiful block patio where we once had a large deck. The design was tricky because Josh had to integrate a new design with an existing block walkway. Not only was the finished product stunning, but the craftsmanship and attention to every detail was superb. Additionally, the crew was punctual each day, cleaned up the site each afternoon and Josh kept me updated throughout the process by texting me pictures of the progress. Josh and his team delivered a finished patio that was exceptional and anyone who sees it raves about the classy look and workmanship. On another level, I have also had the opportunity to get to know Josh as a business person. We have networked together and belong to some of the same business circles. Josh is highly respected in the business community and I give him high praise for his professionalsm, follow-up and his commitment to excellence. Josh also is blessed with a never-ending positive outlook that is infectious.
I am happy to recommend Josh as a business associate and as a contractor. He sets the standard in both realms."

Description Of Work:
We needed a patio in the backyard to go around a pizza oven. We also wanted an area for a fire pit. They worked with the stone in the pizza oven and the colors are wonderful together. They sodded in the areas where they worked so it looks like it has always been there. They gave us a time frame and stuck to it. We were lucky that it didn't rain because I'm sure that could cause some delays. They were prompt and thorough. I loved the amount of detail they took time to achieve and were very receptive to our needs. They followed through on all details as well. All of the employees were hard working and nice people. If we had questions, they always took the time to listen and take care of those concerns.
Member Comments:
We started on the 9th just as they had promised. They laid out the design and went to work. Once we had the tile laid, we were worried about the amount of space for a fire pit. They suggested another circle which we went with. I can't tell you how nice it looks. The patio was finished in two weeks time and is exactly what we wanted done. I know we are going to enjoy it in the years to come.

Description Of Work:
Our backyard has always been a challenge - it's very shady, it's got terrible soil, and on top of having no time to take care of it, we now have two dogs that have reduced the last patches of grass to mud. It was looking so bad that we stopped having friends over - but now that's all changed. In Phase One, Commonwealth Curb Appeal put in a paver patio - with a firepit - which we have enjoyed since last fall (Josh gave us a s'mores kit for Christmas!) In Phase Two, Josh and his crew installed an artificial turf putting green, which has eliminated the mud bog and is a lot of fun and doesn't need mowing or raking. In Phase Three, just completed, they finished off the seeding and mulching around the sides.
Member Comments:
I always get three estimates for big projects. I knew we were going to want to work with Commonwealth Curb Appeal after talking with Josh Goff for only a few minutes. Right away we liked him - he is polite, respectful, relaxed, and he has the skills that made our ideas turn out better that we could ever have thought of on our own. The patio is wonderful and very well built. The research he did on the artificial turf was incredible - he brought us samples from companies that we hadn't been able to find on our own and the quality (color, appearance, texture, warranty) was superior. My husband and I were prepared to make a joke out of the minigolf in our back yard (again, it came from the need for a practical solution to a mud problem) but Josh and his crew made it gorgeous. We also appreciated that he was very flexible with our desire to spread the project out and do it in affordable phases. I wish I could attach pictures to this story - if you could see our yard, you'd want one too!
