Natural Path Landscaping

Natural Path Landscaping recently built a patio with a fire pit and an extensive sidewalk using a combination of paver sizes with a contrasting paver border. They also laid landscape fabric and covered that with rounded stone under my large deck. From the beginning of the quote phase and working through all the design details to the completion of the project, Tom was professional, courteous and communicated well regarding all aspects of the job. His team also displayed these same excellent qualities. I told them that they are artists using stone. Their attention to detail is extremely impressive. Their work greatly improved the appearance of my backyard and I'm sure it will increase the value of my property. It has added a living space to my property that I will enjoy for a very long time. I couldn't be happier with the end result and I highly recommend this company.

I used Tom Kraus to build an entirely new patio made of bluestone as well as a walkway. He is very thorough, professional and on time. His crew worked very diligently to get the job done. It’s great to work one on one with Tom from the planning stage all the way through to the end and beyond. I would highly recommend him.

Tom of Natural Path was great to work with. He is quite communicative, making sure to follow up with every step of the process. Best of all, he is extremely bright - he came up with a clever alternative (making the sidewalk ramp up so we would need fewer granite stairs) that got us a gorgeous sidewalk + stairs for not much more than the original stairs we'd requested. His thinking outside the box made a huge difference in the cost and what we were able to achieve. Then, he and his team followed through with very high quality work. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I have hired Tom Kraus from Natural Path Landscaping for masonry work. A few years ago, he did my front steps, walkway and patio. At the time I was impressed with his professionalism and reliability. He listened to my ideas, came up with a great design and did a wonderful job. The work is solid, and after all this time, nothing has shifted out of place, as I have seen elsewhere with cheaper work. Tom was excited to come back this year, check on the old project and make sure everything still looked good. This time they installed a new patio in the back yard, based on a beautiful design Tom came up with. I appreciated that they consulted with me and kept me informed throughout the process, and attended to all details around the project, such as laying conduits and drains under the new path, making sure old structures are well supported and safe, and putting down new soil and lawn after the installation. Tom and Justin are easy to work with, hard-working, and take great pride in their workmanship. They did what they promised and on time, even though it was December and cold and snowy. I love the details of how they matched the new bluestone around the existing, irregular-shaped granite step. I really enjoyed working with Tom and Justin, and I know I could always ask them to come back in the unlikely event something needs fixing. I expect my patio to look great for many years to come!.

My wife and I were searching for a solution to replace our crumbling and dangerous steps. I contacted Natural Path Landscaping and explained my situation. Tom, the owner, responded promptly and provided images of his previous work that showed he was up to the task. He came to the house and really listened to our concerns. He took accurate measurements and gave us some great ideas. When Tom sent us the detailed drawings, we knew Natural Path was the best choice. Tom and his crew worked hard. They installed many tons of granite steps and engineered pavers. Tom, his foreman Justin, and the crew were more than professional, they cared about their work and what it meant for my family. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would absolutely recommend Natural Path Landscaping.

When my husband and I decided to put in bluestone walkways, granite pillars and granite aprons we knew who we wanted to do the job, We were familiar with Natural Path's quality work, professionalism, value and attention to detail. We loved the timeless look and enduring, maintenance free performance of walkways and aprons that let the water naturally drain away. It was a pleasure to see Tom and his guys early every morning and watch our project unfold.

Tom did a great job on our front walkway and steps. He did such a good job, we had him back to do a patio and steps in our backyard.

Outstanding work. I have had Natural Path install both a back patio and a new front walkway which have greatly enhanced the outside look of my house. I would highly recommend for the quality of the work and the beauty of the final result

Tom Krauss and his team provided excellent design, scheduling, construction and account services for our unique requirements. From layout to material selection to on-site work, no detail was missed, and the crew clearly enjoyed what they were doing. We were so please with the first job they did, we hired them again for two more jobs. The best contractor we've ever used!

Tom was always on time, followed through on everything we discussed and did a fabulous job. Our impressive granite entrance and brick walkway definitely added value to our property. We later hired Tom for outdoor decorative lighting and again were pleased with a job well done.

Tom and his staff were extremely professional and made sure the finished product was everything we wanted. It was and more. It was great to work with someone as precise as Tom and would highly recommend his company as everything from concept to completion was done as it was stated on the onset of the project.

We hired Natural Path Landscaping to install a backyard patio and front walkway using Cambridge pavers; install granite steps at our front door, rear porch door, and entrance to our pool; redirect our downspouts to an underground drainage system; and excavate a trench for a gas line to connect a pool heater. We then hired the Company a few weeks later to prepare a large area of the rear yard for a shed, which included the installation of nine concrete sonotubes. We have completed a number of projects at our residences over a 16-year period. Of all the contractors that we’ve hired over the years, Tom and his crew clearly stand out as the best. Regarding the patio and walkway work, Tom worked closely with us during the planning stage of the project, which was very important to us. He provided a detailed price estimate that included a complete description of the work and a breakdown of all of the costs. He had creative design ideas, and he gave us several options regarding materials for the patio, walkway and stairs. He also encouraged us to visit his material supplier to help us select the style and color of our pavers. The project started on time and was completed in the estimated time frame. During the course of the project, Tom and his team were professional, respectful, and in daily communication with us regarding the project’s progress. The final result could not be better. Tom and his team are genuine craftsmen. We have a beautiful patio and walkway and striking granite steps. Regarding the shed preparation, the work was quite a challenge given the slope of the yard. We also have quite a bit of rock below surface, so digging for the sonotubes was difficult. However, Tom did an excellent job providing a level surface for the new shed. The area looks great, and Tom completed the job on time. We highly recommend Tom and his crew for any landscape job, and we hope to have him back in the future for more outdoor projects at our house.
