“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!

"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!

"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

"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 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

"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.

"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

"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

Tom and the Courtyard Concepts team did a great job on our pathway and front steps.

~ Ken H - Westford, 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

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.

~ Steve M - Andover, 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

"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

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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

“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

"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

"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 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

"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

"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

“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

“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.

~ R Angele – Winchester, 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

"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

"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

“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

“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! 

~ Jay & Laura B – Salem, NH

“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.

~ John P – Chelmsford, MA

"Very pleased with the professionalism."

Thank you so much for the work you did for us. We absolutely love it and feel that it has greatly enhanced the entrance to our home. We were very pleased with the professionalism you displayed from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend you.

~ Mark O - Chelmsford, 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

“The entire process was super simple and the results amazing.”

To the team at Courtyard Concepts.  Thank you so much for doing an outstanding job on our patio, fire pit, and beautiful stonewall!  We are so glad we chose you.  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

"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

" 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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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
