Fire Pit Fun ~ Outdoor Living - Courtyard Concepts

Outdoor fire pits can be a fantastic addition to your entertaining space! They create a warm and inviting atmosphere, provide a focal point for gatherings, and extend the usability of your outdoor space.

Providing warmth, ambiance, and a gathering place for friends and family, here are some creative fire pit ideas to inspire your own backyard in Chelmsford MA and Westford MA:

Fire Pit Roast – Roast marshmallows or even hot dogs with toppings and condiments for a casual and interactive dining experience.

S’mores Station – Set up a smores station with marshmallows, chocolate bars, graham crackers, and skewers. Guests will love it!

Fire Pit Table – A fire pit table combines the warmth of a fire pit and functionality of a tabletop. This allows family and friends to dine and chat comfortably around the fire.

Cozy Seating – Such as lounge chairs, Adirondacks, and benches. Add cushions and throws for extra comfort!

Fire Pit Games & Themes – Play outdoor games near the fire pit, such as cornhole, horseshoes, or lawn bowling. Make it a “camp out” theme and pit tents in the back yard!

Stargazing – Enjoy stargazing evenings around the fire pit. Provide binoculars or telescopes for guests to observe the night sky in Chelmsford MA and Westford MA.

Live Music – If you have space, set up a small stage or a designated area for live music near the fire pit. Live acoustic music can add a wonderful atmosphere to your gatherings.

Seasonal Décor – Decorate the area around the fire pit according to the season. Add pumpkins and fall foliage in autumn or string lights and ornaments during the holiday season.

Storytelling Circle – Encourage storytelling sessions or group discussions around the fire. A fire pit can create a cozy and intimate setting for meaningful conversations.

"I highly recommend Courtyard Concepts."
Tom, Carlos and crew did a great job of renovating our patio. They worked hard and steadily while producing great results. I highly recommend Courtyard Concepts and look forward to working with them again on our next project!
~Andy S - Andover, MA
"They were punctual and courteous each day they were on site."
Tom and his crew did an excellent job on our walkway and two sets of stairs. Also included in the work was a new granite light post. Tom was communicative through the entire process and walked us step by step on what he and his team were going to be doing. They were punctual and courteous each day they were on site. Very happy with the work done and the walk way now looks 100X better!
~ Brandon M - Chelmsford, MA
"Absolutely everything they said they would do was completed, and the work is gorgeous."
"Absolutely everything they said they would do was completed, and the work is gorgeous."
I don't even know where to begin, but I know that five stars isn't nearly enough. Without question the absolute best and most impressive experience we've ever had with someone who's done work on our home. Courtyard Concepts did my sister in law's patio, so we had some high hopes, but they absolutely exceeded every single one of them.
We first described the project to Tom in the fall of last year, and once the project got going this summer, he had notes and detailed diagrams of everything we spoke about last year. Absolutely everything they said they would do was completed, and the work is gorgeous. We had a new patio put out back, and used the leftover bricks from that patio and the old front walkway to put in a new modern brick walkway that wraps around the front of the house.
Extremely fast, professional, and some of the best quality work I've ever seen.
~ Ryan & Sarah B - Chelmsford MA
"We couldn't be more pleased with the results!"
I highly recommend Courtyard Concepts! This was our second job with them, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Everything was even more beautiful than we hoped. Tom and his crew are so professional. I can’t wait to have them back next year to do some more projects!
~ Cindy S - Chelmsford, MA
"They are a no-nonsense bunch of men and women who did the job right and delivered on time."
Courtyard concepts re-built our walkway and added granite steps. Their expertise, high quality of work and professionalism is the primary reason for my 5-star rating. Tom provided upfront pricing (which was reasonable), great design suggestions, practical recommendations and an accurate timeframe for completion. Every single person who worked on my project - from Tom himself to his amazing crew, were thorough professionals and experts who knew their stuff. They are a no-nonsense bunch of men and women who did the job right and delivered on time. Couldn't have asked for a better crew for this work. Highly recommend their services, our finished walkway looks beautiful and adds to the curb appeal of our house.
~ Girish M - Westford MA
" First quality work."
This was a fantastic experience. Tom returned my call promptly and came out within a few days to do an estimate. I showed him a few pictures of what we were thinking; he discussed stone types and their pros and cons, particularly with regard to cost. He communicated with me regularly about the expected start date and came out a few days before the start of the work to go over the project with us. The work started Monday morning and was complete by Tuesday; he checked in to see if we were satisfied with the final project. It looks amazing, and exactly like what we had envisioned. I would recommend him without hesitation - first quality work, attention to detail and regular communication throughout the process. If only every contractor was like this!!
~ Kathleen O - Ayer, MA
"Good work ethic and open communication."
Great experience!! We are so impressed with this company. Having used Courtyard Concepts in the past, we called them again to install a patio, fire pit, and walkway this Fall. I can’t say enough about this company. Tom is very professional, timely, and hard working. He and his crew did an amazing job! It is so refreshing to work with people who have such a good work ethic and open communication.

We highly recommend Courtyard Concepts. The transformation of this project was incredible. Thank you for making our outdoor living space so comfortable & beautiful!
~ Maria T - Acton, MA
" An excellent job done by you and your staff."
Just a quick note of thanks for the great job done by you and your crew on our patio and retaining wall.
I believe in letting businesses know if I’ve had a particularly good or bad experience with their services. My wife and I are both very glad we hired you to perform the work we needed done. Your staff was professional, quality-oriented and very diligent in getting the job done in what I thought was a very short period of time considering what needed to be done.
In the future if any prospective customers wish to have referrals provided, please don’t hesitate to give them our name and number. I will gladly recommend your services to anyone who’s in need of quality workmanship at a reasonable price.
Again, an excellent job done by you and your staff. Please pass our thanks on to them!
~ Kurt B - Maynard, MA
"Quick to respond."
Thank you Courtyard Concepts for ordering me a new mail box bracket and installing a new mailbox onto our granite post. Tom and his team are quick to respond and they do great work.
~ Robert D - Woburn, MA
Tom and the Courtyard Concepts team did a great job on our pathway and front steps.
~ Ken H - Westford, MA
"Communication was exceptional and expectations were set and met."
Working with the team at Courtyard Concepts was great. I had some ideas of what I wanted and Tom was able to take them and flesh them out and make them a reality. When our plans changed and we decided to expand the overall scope and size of the project, Tom worked it all into the schedule so it was still completed by my deadline, large family function at the house. Communication was exceptional and expectations were set and met. I would recommend Courtyard Concepts to anyone looking to do any type of hardscaping project.
~ Sam B – Bedford, MA
Hiring Tom Hunt and Courtyard Concepts was the best contractor decision we ever made! Tom’s prices are reasonable, and the members of his crew were amazing! They are reliable, punctual, respectful and so very talented. They transformed our backyard into what our neighbors now deem “the oasis!”
~ Andrew and Anne Marie
"We recommend Courtyard Concepts to anyone who needs stonework."
Amazing work on our walkway, stair repair and flower box enhancement. Tom helped with the design, kept us informed throughout the process (including the postponement due to early snow) and worked with his people to get everything done in jig time. We recommend Courtyard Concepts to anyone who needs stonework.
~ Gordon & Gayle S - Tewksbury, MA
"When the job was complete, it was a work of art."
From our initial inquiry to scheduling a site visit, and follow-up discussions on options to consider for the front of our home, Tom was wonderful in sharing his experiences and expertise on what would look good as well as be quite functional. His team was very experienced and professional. They kept to the schedule he stated from the start, and took care to keep the work areas clean at the end of each work day. Tom was always quick to answer any questions that came up. When the job was complete, it was a work of art and we have received many compliments.
I would definitely recommend Courtyard Concepts without any reservation to anyone looking to transform landscapes around their home.
Thank you Tom and team!
~ Gwen S & Mark H - Chelmsford, MA
"We love our new patio and highly recommend Courtyard Concepts!"
Courtyard Concepts did an amazing job building our patio! Tom was wonderful, easy to work with, always on time, and built the patio very quickly! He removed our old patio and built a brand new one, expanding it to almost double the size of our original one, with a custom built in bench to fit our area. We love our new patio and highly recommend Courtyard Concepts!
~ Ali & Patrick M - Westford, MA
"It's hard to find that kind of customer service these days."
We've loved working with everyone at Courtyard Concepts. I can't speak enough about how much we have been impressed with the quality of the work and the customer service you have provided. It's hard to find that kind of customer service these days, especially with anything related to a home. I can't tell you how many people we've called that simply won't even return our phone calls. We get tons of compliments on the walkway and the garage.
~ Ben V - Littleton, MA
Courtyard Concepts did a fantastic job installing our patio. They were extremely professional throughout the process and did a great job. We are very happy with the results.
~ Carol G - Chelmsford, MA
"Their execution was flawless and meticulous."
Courtyard Concepts were an exceptional partner with my home project. They walked us though project steps offering their expertise and insight from design to install. Their execution was flawless and meticulous. I am very satisfied with them would definitely use them again.
~Tom P - Stow, MA
"It was a pleasure to work with such a caring and professional team."
Our sincere thanks to Tom and his talented team for the amazing facelift to our home. Our new steps and walkway are gorgeous and truly a work of art. Friends and family have remarked about the beauty and expert craftsmanship of the job. It was a pleasure to work with such a caring and professional team. If you are in need of hardscaping service, we strongly recommend Courtyard Concepts.
~ Ralph & Cheryl F – Westford, MA
The workmanship and design is excellent. Your crew was competent and expressed a great deal of pride in their work. Not to mention that at the end of the day they thoroughly cleaned up the premises without leaving a trace of their presence.
~ Franc R. - Littleton, MA
"Couldn't be happier with the results."
We have used Courtyard Concepts for two projects, both our patio/fire pit and front walkway and couldn't be happier with the results. Tom ran through a variety of options and products for us to choose from. He and his crew are professional and neat from start to finish and keep you up-to-date on their schedule.
~ Mike & Kaitlyn M - North Chelmsford, MA
"They went the extra mile."
Courtyard Concepts helped guide us through the selection of a retaining wall and stone stairs for our front entrance way of the house that has transformed the wall & stairway to a focal point instead of the eye soar that it once was. They went the extra mile meeting us at the showroom several times to help us through the selection process. Tom and his team were extremely professional and took great pride in their work, and the final product shows it. Thank you.
~Derek and Sandra F - Chelmsford, MA
Courtyard Concepts did such a wonderful job on our patio. They were responsive, efficient, and the final product is exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful patio!
~ Jenna G - Hudson, MA
Courtyard Concepts was fantastic from start to finish. Tom walked the project with us and provided a quote the same day!
Tom stopped by again to show samples of pavers for us to choose from and answered all our questions. Carlos and his team marked the outline of the patio and they let us know how they planned to progress each day.
They were very accommodating to our last minute changes to the patio layout days before the work was going to start!
The work was completed very cleanly and right on their schedule. We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to tackling another hardscape project with them soon.
Thanks for everything Tom, Carlos and Team!
~ Nicole & Chris C - Chelmsford, MA
"I’m confident this patio will last a lifetime."
From start to finish, the entire experience was of great quality and professionalism. Tom came out very quickly to my property to give me an estimate of the work needing done and his pricing was very fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of the materials being used. He and his crew arrived on time and installed the patio quickly in less than a day and I’m confident this patio will last a lifetime. It came out absolutely beautiful and pictures do not do it justice. He’s very responsible and knowledgeable and have no doubts if there are any issues he will stand by his product to help assist. He is very experienced in working with HOA rules and regulations and was able to provide me exactly what I needed to have this project approved. I’m very happy I went with Courtyard Concepts and would highly recommend him for any and all patio work needing done.
~ Rachel A - Hudson NH
"It looks beautiful!"
They did a great job on our patio, retaining wall, and fire pit. It looks beautiful! They were so professional and I give them bonus points for being kind to our son who kept knocking on the windows wanting them to wave to him. He can’t wait for s’mores! We’ll be recommending Courtyard Concepts to our friends and family.
~ Kate & Jared W - Billerica, MA
"Great quality work! Responsive & Professional"
Tom and his team replaced a retaining wall for us and repointed the pavers in our driveway. The team was professional and the quality of the work is top notch! The price was reasonable and the team was reliable, punctual and professional. I will use Courtyard Concepts for all my hardscape needs!
Thanks for a beautiful job!
~ Maureen D - Harvard, MA
" A great experience."
We love our new fire pit and seating area! We had a great experience working with Tom and his team, very professional. Overall the result is exactly what we envisioned- great work at a fair price. Highly recommended!
~ Jim and Christine Z - Westford, MA
"This year, once again, the service (from soup to nuts) is excellent."
I have used Courtyard Concepts over the years. This year, once again, the service (from soup to nuts) is excellent. They always keep the scheduled appointments. They have a great team and the work they do is top quality.
~Karen Y - Westford, MA
"I have nothing but glowing praise for Courtyard Concepts."
Courtyard Concepts was an absolute pleasure to work with! I hired Tom and his team to install a curving, branching front walkway and a small backyard patio for my grill. Both came out beautifully.
Tom was very responsive via email, and both he and Carlos were so easy to work with. They gave me time to think and make decisions, were very amenable to making adjustments as requested, and clearly listened to what I wanted. The crew left a tidy work site every day, and cleaned up everything at the end of the job. Tom & Carlos even moved my grill onto the patio for me!
I have nothing but glowing praise for Courtyard Concepts. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and recommend them to anyone.
~ Rachael C - N Chelmsford MA
"More than we expected."
Thank you for a fantastic job on the new patio and fire pit. It is more than we expected. Your crew is very organized and detailed in their work. The finished product reflects the effort the guys put in. Thanks again and we look forward to our new walkway in the spring.
~ Bill & Sarah - Chelmsford, MA
"An amazing improvement."
Thank you for doing such a nice job on our walkway on such short notice. We really appreciate your professionalism and your willingness to work under really cold conditions. The walkway is beautiful and an amazing improvement over what was there.
~ Jane and Andy - Somerville, MA
"Five Stars"
I could not have been more pleased with the professionalism of Tom Hunt and his right hand Carlos regarding my recent patio and walkway. The quality of the work was enhanced by the timely completion of the patio (3-days from start to finish), the careful consideration to minimal disruption in the neighborhood and the overall professionalism of the communication. I highly recommend Courtyard Concepts for any Hardscape design and installation work. Five Stars!
~ David G - Westford, MA
"You will not be disappointed!"
A great big thank you to Tom Hunt and his team at Courtyard Concepts from Chelmsford, who did a beautiful patio in just three days! If you are looking for a patio, stone work, please check him out! You will not be disappointed!

The entire process was super simple and the results amazing. We are getting so many compliments on your work and will not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again for being so professional. You guys are the best!
~ Sandy & Rob J – Lexington, MA
Professionalism and Craftsmanship – a Great Combination!
Many thanks to Tom, Carlos, and the Courtyard Concepts Team for our patio transformation! Our initial patio was rectangular, but we always wanted to add a dedicated circular space for our firepit and chairs. Also, some of our existing bluestones had started to shift and needed re-leveling (and we needed some upkeep on our front walkway as well). We are very excited about how the refurb projects and this new addition turned out. The whole process was very professional from initial quote through completion – we love how the existing and new portion of the patio blend together yet look distinctive at the same time. The entire crew was great, and the work was completed very quickly!
~ Arlene & Tom M - Westford MA
“The end result is truly better than we could have imagined and is the talk of our neighborhood!”
Our experience with Courtyard Concepts was nothing short of incredible! They completely transformed our front yard by removing leaning retaining walls, dangerous front steps and an uneven and cracked walkway. The whole crew was like a well-oiled machine, working through blistering heat and being flexible with some design changes along the way. The ENTIRE overhaul of our yard was completed in 5 days. They are experienced and take pride in their craft. The end result is truly better than we could have imagined and is the talk of our neighborhood! Thanks to Courtyard Concepts we have a beautiful (and safe) front yard that we can be proud of!
~ Kelley S – Chelmsford, MA
"We’ve had nothing but compliments from all our neighbors."
Two years ago, we contacted Courtyard Concepts for a patio quote. Tom came down and worked with us generating a drawing that we needed to submit for approval from our condo association. Tom knew all the rules and was able to guide us through the approval process which immediately was approved. It helped that our association had past experience with Courtyard Concepts and were very comfortable with their work. Before we were able to start, the association experienced problems with boundaries and all construction projects were put on hold. Fast forward two years we received approval to commence. I contacted Courtyard Concepts and they immediately responded with a start date. They came in and within one week completed the job. We are very happy with the way it turned out. The rounded corners on the walls look great. We’ve had nothing but compliments from all our neighbors. We’d recommend Courtyard Concepts to anyone.
~ Dennis & Suzanne M – Westford, MA
"100% Satisfaction!"
Courtyard Concepts installed the patio of our dreams at a very competitive price. The team worked within our design and financial constraints, and then delivered according to the proposed plan. Craftsmanship, professionalism and integrity are the hallmarks of this contractor. 100% Satisfaction!
~ Marge E - Belmont, MA
We are super happy with the work that Tom and team did. The workmanship is pretty much perfect and there were no surprises. Tom is super nice and easy to work with in regards to the design and even accommodated some minor changes for us.
~ Michael
I have used Tom and his team for multiple projects and they are great to work with. They show up on time and do terrific work. I would highly recommend Courtyard Concepts.
~ Derek C - Chelmsford, MA
"The patio looks fantastic!"
Thank you & everyone for your hard work. The patio looks fantastic! Thanks again. We will be sure to be a referral source for you!
~ Chris, Mike & Aria C - Marblehead, MA
Courtyard Concepts is definitely worth your investment. Tom Hunt is fantastic to work with; he delivers high quality, creative masonry. As a person, he is genuine, humble, thoughtful, reasonably priced, and kind. I recommend him highly!
~ Kim L - Acton/Boxborough HS
"Workmanship is pretty much perfect."
We are super happy with the work that Tom and team did at our house with the fire-pit, patios, walls and walks. They met all their commitments in regards to time, cost and product. The workmanship is pretty much perfect and there were no surprises. Tom is super nice and easy to work with in regards to the design and even accommodated some minor changes for us.
~ Michael M - Westford, MA
"We were extremely happy to have the quick response and meeting to discuss what we wanted to have done on the property."
In May 2018, Courtyard Concepts completed a second project on our property. The first project was installing a granite mailbox post and granite slab stairs on both the front and back of the house the previous Fall. This second project was to construct 2 pathways in the front and back of the house and install a granite lamp post. The back pathway also expanded into a patio area for the grill.
We were extremely happy to have the quick response and meeting to discuss what we wanted to have done on the property. Tom was very easy to work with and had some great suggestions on what would look best with the pathways so they would not be cookie cutter but would look nice in the areas they were to be installed in. He followed-up with a quote within a short period and was always available to answer further questions whether by phone or email. The team that he used were focused on the job whether it was in wet or dry weather and were always conscientious with our property and with accommodating our comings and goings from our property. They were good with the cleanup and left everything looking great at the end. When there was a question during construction, it was a pleasure to work with the team lead.
I would highly recommend Courtyard Concepts for any hardscape project and I am sure we will be using them more for other projects we have in mind.
~Kevin & Sharon P - Chelmsford, MA
"They were great to work with."
Courtyard Concepts recently installed a patio and fire pit with sitting walls in our back yard. We are very happy with the work. They were great to work with. The owner spent a lot of time with us in the design process selecting materials and reviewing different options. All of his team was professional and did a great job.
We are thrilled with our new space and looking forward to enjoying it with family and friends for years to come. I highly recommend Courtyard Concepts and their crew.
~ Emily Y - Littleton, MA
"Dream Backyard"
Thanks to Tom and his amazing team for bringing our vision to life. Tom has a keen eye for design and knows what works when designing with stone in an outdoor environment. Our ideas were considered and improved upon based on Tom's experience. From start to finish, the project was very well managed. In a relatively short period of time, our once drab backyard is now a dream come true thanks to Tom and his team!
~ Nancy S - Groton, MA
"We are thrilled with the quality of the work."
In each step of the process, we had a stellar experience with Tom and Courtyard Concepts. Looking to replace a retaining wall and reconstruct steps/walkway. A bunch of mason/hardscape types never even bothered returning our calls. Tom reached out immediately. His quote came in less than we were expecting and we are thrilled with the quality of the work. He was up front with us from the start. What he says is what he delivers. We will recommend Tom to anyone looking for quality, professional hardscaping work.
~John & Lis M - Haverhill, MA
"We used to be the couple that always admired other people’s homes and now thanks to Courtyard Concepts, people are now admiring ours!"
We can’t say enough good things about the work we had done by Courtyard Concepts. A master craftsman with a passion for excellence is what comes to mind when we think of Tom Hunt. His knowledge, expertise & ability to execute great design makes him stand out from the rest. He helped us with the new design of our stairs, walkway & wall and also helped us choose the veneer for our foundation. He went out of his way to drop off color samples before the project was started and also answered any questions we had along the way. The crew was always here on time and very friendly. His long time worker Carlos is definitely a master of his trade who is hardworking, professional & very meticulous about his work. We can’t tell you how good it feels when people compliment your home on how amazing it looks. We’ve received so many compliments from neighbors, friends & from people we don’t even know that just walk by our house to take a glimpse at all the work we had done. It just puts a smile on your face from ear to ear. We used to be the couple that always admired other people’s homes and now thanks to Courtyard Concepts, people are now admiring ours!
~ Michelle C - North Chelmsford, MA
"Highly recommended"
Tom and crew did a great job replacing my walkway and stairs! They were a pleasure to work with -- communicative, professional, clean and neat. I had to make some minor repairs of a pre-existing issue between demo and installation and they were happy to accommodate me. Best of all, the resulting walkway is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended.
~ Peter T - Westford, MA
"The best aspect of my experience was the honesty and integrity."
I cannot say enough great things about Courtyard Concepts. Tom and his crew are easily the best at what they do.
From the first visit by Tom to the final phase of my patio project, the experience has been nothing short of perfect. He worked with me to stay in my budget, presented different materials and ideas and in the end gave me a gorgeous patio.
But the best aspect of my experience with Tom is his honesty and integrity. He means what he says and he follows through every step of the way.
When you are thinking of a hardscape project, run, don’t walk to Courtyard Concepts.
~ Michael B - Framingham, MA
"The result is impressive and really adds to the beauty of our house."
Tom and his team did an outstanding job on our recent project, rebuilding our paver driveway and adding a front walkway and patio. They were very professional and took time to answer our questions and address small repairs and details. The result is impressive and really adds to the beauty of our house. Highly recommended!
~ Kevin B - Lexington, MA
"We couldn't be happier."
We appreciated Tom’s experience and knowledge in patio design and layout. We told him what we wanted and he explained our options and recommended a plan that fit our space perfectly. The work was professionally done, on time and on budget. We couldn’t be happier.
~ Larry K - Ayer, MA
"We appreciated his quick communication with us about every question we had during the entire process and after."
We chose Courtyard Concepts to fix a 15-year-old paver patio which was showing its age. Tom promptly came out to assess the scope of the project and provide a competitive estimate. We appreciated his quick communication with us about every question we had during the entire process and after. Of special note is that the existing paver we have on our patio had been discontinued and Tom was able to locate a few pallets from one of his distributors. The team began work quickly and were efficient, courteous, hard-working and completed the project in a timely manner, leaving the area looking better and cleaner than before. We highly recommend this company for hardscape projects and will work with them in the future.
~ Rani & Ash K - Westford, MA
"They were timely, very professional, and most important, did a terrific job."
We had a very positive experience with Courtyard Concepts installing a beautiful stone paver front entryway and cobblestone beds around our home. Tom, Carlos and their crew were excellent to work with. They were timely, very professional, and most important, did a terrific job. And their prices are well worth the quality of their work. We highly recommend them!
~ Amaro L & Kim L - Acton, MA
"My wife and I can't believe the transformation."
Tom and his crew at Courtyard Concepts did an outstanding job replacing the walkway and steps to our house. My wife and I can't believe the transformation. Tom was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for your excellent design and craftsmanship!
~ David G - Westford, MA
"They were quick to get us on the schedule."
Tom saw our backyard and was quick with ideas how to design the area. He was much more creative than other companies we contacted. We had a quote later in the day after he walked our yard with us. Once we gave him the job, he was quick to get us on the schedule. The crew worked quickly, entertained our kids, and had the project done in just a couple of days. Very happy with the whole process.
~ Scott H - Littleton MA
" The team worked so efficiently."
We are so happy with the experience we had with Courtyard Concepts, from beginning to end. Tom is the epitome of professional. The team worked so efficiently and the job was done within 2 days of starting the project. Along the way we had questions about what product to use as well as design choices and Tom took time to discuss everything and help us with our decisions. We couldn't be happier with our new step and front walkway. Courtyard Concepts was recommended to us by neighbors and we will, without hesitation, be doing the same.
~ Jessica O – Bedford, MA
"Thanks again for the great work."
The steps look terrific. You and your team did an amazing job and we are very pleased with how they look and your craftsmanship. Thanks again for the great work, and for giving our kids the chance to watch! We'll certainly be in touch when we have a need for our next project.
~ Kevin B - Concord, MA
“It was such an easy and pleasant experience.”
I just had a new patio & walkway installed by Courtyard Concepts in Chelmsford. It was such an easy and pleasant experience from the onset to schedule an appointment for an estimate and then get the patio and walkway completed. They were professional, experienced and just really great to deal with (awesome folks) and very accommodating - offering suggestions, etc. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results - it looks awesome!!!! I would highly recommend Courtyard Concepts - you will be so happy!!
~ Katie D – Chelmsford, MA
"They worked as a team the entire job and I couldn't be happier with the results."
I just had Courtyard Concepts at my house to remove and replace my front stairs. This was my first time doing business with this company. This company is honest, caring, and very thorough with their work. The owner of the company even gets to work and helps his guys, they worked as a team the entire job and I couldn't be happier with the results. I definitely will be using them again.
~Matt & Robyn N - Danvers, MA
"Your crew was EXCELLENT!"
We are very grateful for how the recent patio project turned out. Your crew was EXCELLENT! The result is OUTSTANDING!!
~ Mark & Carol N - Woburn, MA
"They were responsive, courteous, and highly professional"
Courtyard Concepts replaced 2 walkways for my home. They were responsive, courteous, and highly professional. I am very pleased with the project from the beginning thru completion. I highly recommend them for any project of this nature.
~ John M - Westford, MA
"I am so pleased with the interaction and results ."
Honestly, I have never had a better experience with a contractor. From the minute I spoke with Tom, to when he came to provide me an estimate, to when he and his crew installed the patio, I have never experienced a smoother transaction. Tom and team showed up exactly when they said they would, did exactly what they said they would, and charged me exactly what he said he would. What more can one ask?
The results were fantastic. We are so happy with our new patio. Several neighbors have already asked me to provide contact info so they could reach out to Courtyard Concepts. Personally, I am so pleased with the interaction and the results that my wife and I are already planning our next project where we will again employ Courtyard Concepts.
I wish there was an option to rate them A+ instead of A. They earned it.
~ Bill K - Chelmsford, MA
"A hard-working team that does great work! "
I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for quality work and reliability at a fair price. Tom and his team laid a beautiful and functional stone walkway for me. Tom listened to my ideas and concerns and made excellent suggestions to ensure my satisfaction with the results. Tom also helped me with a tedious, dirt removal and replacement job that other companies would not tackle.
Tom provided me with written estimates, confirmed arrival dates and followed up to be everything met my expectations. He has a hard-working team that does great work!

"Pricing was very reasonable."
Tom and his team were true professionals. Tom was very responsive with all of my questions via email and during the quote process. He did not try to over sell other options like some other companies did. His team went above and beyond in the design of the patio. I had some leveling issues in my back yard that Tom and his team easily adjusted to make sure the patio came out level and pitched away from the house. His team was on time each day and completed the patio in two days time. Clean up of the area was also nicely done. I would definitely use his team again for a future project if needed. His prices were also very reasonable compared to some others in the Westford, Littleton, Acton area.

“Every crew member conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism while they worked in a cohesive and efficient manner.”
It is my pleasure to write a review about Courtyard Concepts. They had just finished installing a patio and rebuilding my front doorsteps. To start, I got several quotes prior to hiring Courtyards Concepts. While going through that process I found their price for work to be competitive with the other contractors. What really set them apart was how professional they were and promptly they responded when questions would arise. Prior to work starting everything that was going to happen was thoroughly explained to it taking place. Once work started every crew member conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism while they worked in a cohesive and efficient manner. Care was taken not to destroy my yard and property. The best part was how sociable they were to my kids and pets. When work was complete the work site was tidied up and proper maintenance for my patio and steps were clearly explained to me. I would definitely recommend Courtyards Concepts and I look forward to working with them again as more masonry work on my property is in the future.

“Easiest home project ever!”
Tom and his team did a fantastic job installing our beautiful new front steps and walkway. The job started and completed on time and the crew could not have been nicer. Easiest home project ever! Thanks Tom & Team.
~ Carol K – Littleton, MA
“Well done!”
The Courtyard Concepts crew built an amazing fire pit, field stone steps, and designed a wall encompassing my garden. The front of our farmhouse looks stunning straight out of HGTV!
Our granite posts and lighting area perfectly aligned and proportional. Well done! Back patio is coming in May, can’t wait.

“We could not be happier with the outcome.”
We could not be happier with the outcome of our patio and the entire process from start to finish. Tom and his team truly take the time to work with you, make you feel comfortable and happy with what you are getting. We are so thankful that we received the referral from our brother and sister in law and will be sure to continue referring Tom to anyone we know who needs work done! Thanks again for everything. We’ve been out enjoying it pretty much every day!

"Do yourself a big favor and hire these guys!"
Hiring Tom Hunt and Courtyard Concepts was the best contractor decision we ever made! Tom’s prices are reasonable, and the members of his crew were amazing! They showed up every single morning until the job was finished to our complete satisfaction. They are reliable, punctual, respectful and so very talented! They transformed our backyard into what our neighbors now deem “the oasis!” We have used Courtyard Concepts for 2 very large jobs at our home. I quite frankly wouldn’t consider anyone else. Do yourself a big favor and hire these guys!

"A pleasure to work with."
We just wanted to send a well-deserved thank you to you and your crew for a wonderful job on our new patio. Your crew is very professional and was a pleasure to work with. Please feel free to use us as a reference anytime.

Great Experience! We highly recommend Courtyard Concepts. The transformation from this project was incredible. Thank you for making our outdoor living space so comfortable & beautiful!

"Crew was competent."
I just wanted to drop a line to thank Theresa and yourself for the great service that Courtyard Concepts provided in replacing my home's front walkway. The workmanship and design is excellent. Your crew was competent and expressed a great deal of pride in their work. Not to mention that at the end of the day they thoroughly cleaned up the premises without leaving a trace of their presence. All in all, the total experience far exceeded my expectations. I would unhesitatingly use Courtyard Concepts again for any of my future hardscape needs.
Wishing you the best,
~ Franc R - Littleton, MA
It is amazing how a small 3-step wall turned an uninteresting corner at the end of our driveway into a beautiful bonsai garden. The edge of the wall illuminated by a spotlight while supporting a bonsai forest is a beautiful sight at night.
Tom is professional and efficient. His crew is very responsive and attentive to execution.
I am very happy with the entire experience and final outcome. We are already thinking about more projects, perhaps a second wall to mirror this one.
Thank you Tom and staff!

" The quality of the work was excellent."
I was extremely pleased with the level of service and quality work I received from Courtyard Concepts. They scheduled a time to meet to review the project and provide a quotation. They came as scheduled and provided the quote when expected. They completed the project in the time frame they committed.
They were very helpful in selecting materials, the quality of the work was excellent, and they left the work site clean and neat.
If I ever have another paver project I will call Courtyard Concepts.

"I was impressed with the continuous communication."
I cannot express how impressed I was with the skill, professionalism and thoughtfulness of all at Courtyard Concepts. I had an idea for new steps to my beach area that 2 other contractors I had spoken with were not interested in doing. Tom came up with some additional ideas on how to make it even more useful. They created a walkway that fit the environment, made it much easier to get up a steep hill and completed it earlier than intended. I was impressed with the continuous communication letting me know who was coming, when they would arrive, and how long they would be here. They are coming back in the Fall to complete repairs on my breakwater.
Thank you all at Courtyard Concepts.
~ Merrily E - Stow, MA
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you! We couldn't be happier with the stone patio/fire pit... it's gorgeous! Your team did an amazing job, in this crazy heat - so thank them as well! I didn't want to bother them while they were working. :)
I will definitely be referring friends/family to you and be reaching out for future work! :)
~ Melissa S - Bedford, MA
“Highly recommend”
Quick and easy communication, fast to schedule, and very responsive communication. Excellent work (lots of compliments from neighbors and friends) and highly recommend.
~ Susan C – Chelmsford, MA
"We were perfectly on budget."
Working with the team at Courtyard Concepts couldn’t have been easier or better. I knew all the costs up front, and we were perfectly on budget at the end. The team was friendly and professional, and everything was done in just a few days. I love my new patio and fire pit, and know that it will add value to my home for years to come.
~ Katy T - Hudson, MA
Our front and back walks were a mess. Tom and one team member were able to straighten them out in a few hours and now they look as good as they did when they were first put in. I have no reservations recommending Courtyard Concepts.

“My wife and I are very pleased with our walkway and parking area, and would highly recommend Courtyard Concepts.”
Courtyard Concepts installed a paver front walkway and a paver extension to my driveway for parking my trailer in October 2019. They did a really nice job. Both look great. Their price was reasonable. Tom Hunt was friendly and easy to work with. He had a great crew, and we were happy to see he was giving work experience to both male and female masonry students. His foreman, Carlos, was friendly and very competent. After they laid in the walkway, I determined it wasn't as high as had been discussed for the front porch steps to sit on. Tom said “absolutely” they'd fix it, so Tom and Carlos took up half the walkway, put down more substrate material, and reinstalled the pavers, so the walkway height was perfect. Also, we really liked that Tom treated his crew well (provided them a coffee and doughnuts midmorning break). It was refreshing to see someone value his employees. My wife and I are very pleased with our walkway and parking area, and would highly recommend Courtyard Concepts.
~Jerry B – Stow, MA
Courtyard Concepts did such a great job on my walkways! Also, they did the job for thousands less than the other bids I received. Their masons were very knowledgeable and clean and the work was done in no time.
