The work
Patios, walls, water and the grade that carries it all away. Six kinds of job, one trade behind them.
A slab is something you will stand on for twenty years, so most of the job happens before the truck ever backs in: the stone underneath, the fall away from the house, and the joints that decide where it will crack. Concrete cracks. Good concrete cracks where it was told to.
A wall holds back dirt, and dirt pushes harder the wetter it gets. Clean stone behind it, a base under the frost line, and every course stepped back into the bank. That is the difference between a wall that stands plumb and one that leans a little further out every spring.
Moving water over set stone. The whole trick is making something built look like something found: the rock sitting the way water would have left it, and the fall picking its own line down the face instead of pouring off a shelf.
Water standing in the same low spot after every rain is not a weather problem. It is a grade problem, and it is cheaper to move dirt than to deal with where the water is headed next.
Old arborvitae gone brown at the bottom, a hedge that has outgrown the spot it was put in, a row of trees due for replacing. Out, and something better in, without leaving a yard that needs a season to recover.
Beds, edging, grading and ground cover, so the hard work ends up sitting in a finished yard instead of one that still looks like it got dug up.
Let us know: the rest of your list
These six come from what your listing and your reviews already say. Anything else that comes off the trailer gets a card of its own here.
Send the list in whatever form is easiest. If you would rather not write it, give us the facts and we will write it and send it back for your approval.
Underneath
A patio, a walk and a wall all stand or fall on three things, and all three are finished before the first stone goes down.
Stone, compacted in layers, to a depth the ground and the frost decide between them. An inch skipped here does not show in April. It shows in the second winter.
Everything sheds water somewhere, and the only question is where. A quarter inch to the foot, running away from the house, is the whole difference between a patio and a wet basement.
Pavers keep moving outward for as long as nothing stops them. Edge restraint pinned into the base is what holds the pattern tight and keeps the joints closed.

[YOUR STORY, IN YOUR OWN WORDS]
This is the place for anything you would like people to know: the business, the people behind it, the history, how the crew got started in stone and concrete, and what you would tell a customer standing in their own yard before anything is dug. If you’d like to include an image in this section let us know and we’ll add it.
Write as little or as much as you like. If you have a whole page’s worth to say, it becomes a page of its own. Or send us the basic facts and we will write it for you and send it back for your approval.

Brayden and his team built a beautiful totaly natural looking waterfall for me. He met and exceeded my expectations. Quality work from all that participated. Started on time and finished before the anticipated completion date. I would highly recommend Koontz Construction.

Every one of them takes ten minutes in your own yard, and none of them needs a tape measure to be useful.
The town, and how a truck and a machine get around to the part of the property the work is on.
Feet, or the size of something standing near it. Round numbers are fine and nobody is holding you to them.
Hold a table and six chairs, hold back a bank, take water somewhere else, or just look right from the kitchen window.
Grass, an old slab, a wall that has started to lean. What has to come out is part of the job.
