Russell did an amazing job on our new patio! The precision and skill in design, grading, and installation of a paver patio, plus a beautiful stone sitting wall, new steps and lighting were top notch. We are in a 1984 house and between settling, some old damage that required original brick steps to be partially removed (years ago), a wooden deck that had rotted and some old pavers...well, we just had kind of a mess. Russell repaired and matched the 1984 brick steps so they look complete again, then installed the new patio, wall and stone steps. We had to have a fence put in along one side to keep our dogs in and he came back out and cut each paver to fit around the fence post perfectly so that the beauty of our new patio was not disrupted. Russell does ALL the work himself, with the help of 1-3 men for the heavier work, and is extremely detail-oriented, even in shaving off small amounts of the irregular parts of a cement parking pad to have a straight line to work off of. Although precise and "OCD" with his workmanship, Russell is just the most pleasant, easy-going guy to work with. We were difficult customers, second-guessing our choices, asking lots of questions, making changes and adding on things as we went (we actually doubled the project size mid-way)...and he never made us feel pressured or rushed to make decisions or made us feel badly about our uncertainties and changes. If you are looking for a skilled stone/brick mason who will take beautiful care of your property, I cannot recommend him enough!

Russell was fantastic to work with through the entire project. He guided us through the planning, permit process, and material selection. Our patio is beautiful, it's exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Russell and his team!

A number of years after his dad did an awesome job on a large-scale hardscape in our backyard, Russell and his team did a great job on an add-on project. On time and very conscientious. Highly recommend Sticks & Stones!
