A 2024 customer who priced a rear patio and front walkway with several contractors said Jon Beavers, owner of Busy Beavers, came in right in line with the others and did all the work himself. The company describes itself as a landscape contractor in Connecticut with more than 10 years of experience in landscape construction, and it holds 5 stars across 13 Google ratings. A 2026 customer said John was timely and that everything looked level and clean even before he laid the pavers on a side patio. A 2026 customer said multiple neighbors stopped by to ask who had done the work after Jon completed their first walkway. A 2025 customer said Jon and his team built their walkway, and that Jon had them go to Dunning Stone & Supply in Farmington to see the stone options in person. A 2025 customer said Jon personally worked on a new backyard patio and gazebo installation from start to finish. A 2025 customer said Jon and his crew renovated the front door landing and walkway, adding low-voltage lighting along the steps and sides. A 2025 customer said the business first built a patio and firepit off their walkout basement, then a patio connecting it to a patio and retaining wall around the pool. A 2024 customer said they waited nearly 6 months for work to begin on a multi-level patio, walkway, fire pit and retaining walls, after finding Jon's quote in line with nearly all the others. A 2024 customer said Busy Beavers Hardscapes installed two backyard patios in 2023, one 12x12 with a fire pit and the other large and curved with two circular retaining walls.
We used Busy Beavers for a side patio in addition to our main patio! We were so incredibly happy with the work! John is timely, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He is meticulous and very neat. I was so impressed with how level and clean everything looked even before he laid the pavers. We highly recommend busy beavers hardscapes for your next outdoor project! John really goes above and beyond!!
I highly recommend Jon Beaver. We have hired him for several projects, and each one has exceeded our expectations. After he completed our first walkway, multiple neighbors stopped by to ask who had done the work—it truly stood out for its exceptional craftsmanship. Jon is professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I have complete confidence in his judgment and value his expertise.
Busy Beavers and Jon recently installed a new front walkway, revamped our front porch and landscaping work . The work was completed efficiently and neatly within the promised time frame. Jon's team was reliable, highly professional plus the quality of work was outstanding. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jon and his team did an awesome job with our walkway! Jon is easy to work and communicate with. Jon and his team were neat,tidy, and treated our property with care. Jon had us go to Dunning Stone & Supply in farmington to see the stone options in person. The staff at Dunning was super helpful and knowledgeable on Jon’s work. I will be recommending to everyone who needs hardscape/landscaping needs Busy Beavers!
I hired Busy Beavers and Jon to install a new patio in my backyard as well as assemble/install a gazebo to create a true outdoor oasis for my family. From the initial quote and throughout the installation process, Jon went out of his way to make my family and I feel comfortable about the project - always making himself available to answer questions and go through plans. During the project itself, I was impressed with Jon's attention to detail and not just completing the work - but ensuring that it was completed to the highest quality. Importantly, when hiring Busy Beavers, you are working with Jon himself, who personally worked on the project from start to finish. Over 15 years of homeownership, I can honestly say that I have not had a more pleasant experience working with a contractor - and I could not recommend Jon any higher.
