Patios, walkways and retaining walls are the work customers describe at Nowak Landscape Construction. A June 2026 homeowner credited the father-and-son team with a pool patio and stonework, saying they listened to the family's ideas, answered questions and kept the site tidy at the end of each day. An April 2026 customer returned after earlier front walkway and step work for a matching front patio and side walkway, which they said were completed in two days. The company describes itself as a hardscape design-and-build firm based in Litchfield, serving New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In a December 2022 review, a customer identified Brian as the owner and Shane as his son. That customer described choosing pavers for an arched front walkway and said Shane returned on a Saturday to replace a chipped border brick after they emailed about it. A customer writing in March 2026 described a patio, fire pit and outdoor kitchen project. They credited Brian with leading backyard excavation, filling sinkholes, removing rocks and leveling the yard, and Shane with designing and installing block work, wall coping, grill work and lighting. They said Nowak oversaw other contractors for the granite countertop, gas installation and pavilion posts. Those were coordinated parts of the project, rather than work the customer attributed to Nowak's own crew. The older jobs include drainage and landscape restoration. In September 2024, a homeowner described removing a deteriorating retaining wall beneath a deck, adding sod and crushed stone, and using loam and grass seed where an above-ground pool had stood. An August 2022 customer described removal of an inground pool and replacement with an 825-square-foot concrete paver patio, curved sitting walls and low-voltage landscape lighting. A May 2023 customer said the crew avoided driving heavy equipment over the septic system near a patio at their father's property. Scheduling was a stated condition for one customer: in September 2025, a homeowner said Brian disclosed that his schedule was booked, estimated when he could install their small patio and kept them updated. They also described Shane incorporating a custom stained-glass piece into the design. Google lists 4.9 stars from 48 ratings, Houzz lists five stars from four ratings, and BBB gives the business an A+ grade.
If you’re considering an outdoor project, stop searching and call Nowak Landscaping. We recently worked with this incredible father and son team, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Their creativity, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were evident every step of the way. They took the time to truly listen to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions we hadn’t even considered, and helped transform our backyard into a stunning outdoor retreat. What impressed us most was their patience and communication throughout the project. No question went unanswered, no detail was overlooked, and they consistently made sure everything was done the right way rather than the easy way. Their work ethic is second to none. The job site was always clean, organized, and respectful of our property. At the end of each day, they left everything neat and tidy, which made a huge difference during such a large project. The finished result speaks for itself. The beautiful pool patio, clean lines, and flawless stonework have completely transformed our outdoor living space and created a place our family will enjoy for years to come. The quality of their work is exceptional, and you can tell they take tremendous pride in every project they complete. It’s rare to find contractors who are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about their clients and the final outcome. Nowak Landscaping delivered on every promise and then some. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for landscaping, hardscaping, patios, pool surrounds, outdoor living spaces, or any exterior renovation project.
We had Nowak do our front walkway and front steps replaced several years ago. They just did a front patio and side walkway to match. Done in 2 days and it looks beautiful! Very professionally done and exceeds our expectations!
Finally got around to reviewing! Nowak Landscape installed a new patio, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen (this is an understatement!). They worked with our design and guided it from there. Starting with Brian leading the back yard excavation, they filled sink holes, removed rocks, leveled the yard, and put in a very nice retaining wall. Shane designed and installed the block work, from the patio and outlining, wall top coping, grill work, and lighting. They oversaw other contractors like the granite countertop, gas installation, and pavilion posts; making sure everything went smoothly. Their whole crew is hard working, professional, and friendly. Spring and summer will bring the landscaping and greenery, so I'll update with more photos.
Brian and Shane came out on short notice to install a 9 x 9 patio. They are both knowledgeable, hardworking and great to work with. We will be hiring them again soon for more work!
Brian's Team performed some maintenance on my existing paver walkway. They were professional, polite and did an amazing job!! Thank you Nowak Landscape Construction!!!!
