Premier Pavers & Hardscape, run by owner Ian Forman for more than 20 years, has built a review record around exactly the kind of complex outdoor projects that are hard to get right — heated driveways, retaining wall rebuilds, permeable paver systems, and custom patios on oddly shaped lots — and reviewers describe the results holding up. One reviewer described a heated driveway and walkway installed in early 2022, drains placed where water always used to pool, still looking exactly as good and showing no shifting as of late 2025. Another described a small architect-designed driveway that, nine years later, has developed no defects at all. The specifics repeat across years: Ian, project foreman Chris, and the crew get credited by name for listening carefully during design, solving structural problems (a bowing brick wall, a failing retaining wall) with creative and reasonably priced fixes, and communicating clearly by text throughout the job. Multiple reviewers describe getting several competing quotes before choosing Premier specifically for the design thinking, not just the price. When something needed a fix after the fact — a permeable driveway with some post-install issues — reviewers describe the crew coming back to make it right without a fight. The company's Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade, and its own site describes an ICPI certification along with a Massachusetts Construction Supervisors License and Home Improvement Contractor Registration, though those numbers are the company's own claim rather than independently checked here. There are two things worth knowing honestly. A 2021 review described a frustrating start: after reading the many strong reviews, the reviewer called for a patio estimate and was promised a callback within one to two days, but didn't hear back for five — a pre-project scheduling complaint rather than one about finished work. A 2024 review, still four stars, described a set of flagstones that developed a recurring moss and grass problem; Premier replaced them with a harder stone with tighter joints, and three years later the reviewer reported no sign of the original issue returning. For a serious hardscape project — a full patio, a driveway, a retaining wall, a complete outdoor rebuild — this is a deep, specific, and consistently strong track record spanning six years. The one thing worth planning around is that initial response time can apparently lag during busy periods, so it's worth following up if a callback doesn't come as quickly as promised.
Ian and his team’s work is exemplary. During the design process Ian really listened to what we wanted. At the same time he came up with a brilliant way to maximize our fairly small backyard with a beautiful patio and separate sitting area, complete with a sitting wall. Our front walkway design was simple and timeless, exactly the look we were going for. The process from beginning to end was seamless. Ian’s crew were top notch - both from a skills perspective and in terms of timeliness. We would recommend Premium Pavers without reservation! Wish there was an option for more than a 5 star rating :). Thank you Ian and team for creating an awesome space our family and friends will enjoy for years to come!!!
We couldn’t be happier with the Premier Pavers & Hardscape team. From the first design meeting with Joseph to the final walkthrough, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Our backyard was transformed into a beautiful space our family can enjoy every day. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall quality of the work truly stood out. The crew was professional, respectful, and always kept us informed throughout the process. What impressed us even more was that they completed the project ahead of schedule, which almost never seems to happen with home renovations, and they managed to stay relatively within the budget we discussed upfront. Any unexpected adjustments were communicated clearly, with no surprises. We’ve already received countless compliments from friends and neighbors, and we’re excited to spend many summers making memories in our new backyard. We highly recommend Premier Pavers & Hardscape to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy hardscape and landscaping company. Thank you for bringing our vision to life!
I had such a wonderful experience with Premier Pavers & Hardscape Co. beginning with my first meeting with Ian. He offered a creative solution to a bowing brick wall problem that was thoughtful, reasonably priced and brought great relief to us. Ian's communication was excellent and timely as was our project manager, Billy Graham. There was some complicated coordination with an arborist. Ian was patient and flexible and got the job done as efficiently as possible given these challenges. I added some additional work which was completed beautifully. The work was completed along the projected timeline, the job site was clean, the crew kind and the work excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for future brick projects.
Probably the best project in terms of quality, efficiency and attention to detail that we’ve ever experienced. From beginning to end, no detail was left unaddressed, listening to our wishes and concerns, making sure that everything was completed accurately and efficiently. Quality of execution was 10/10. I wish every job would happen so carefully and koi effortlessly . Thank you!
We had several areas created and updated by Premier Pavers - a new patio designed for an oddly shaped area in our backyard; a rebuild of an old bumpy walkway and new stairs for better safety; and a new niche carve out in the middle of a retaining wall next to the driveway to store our trash cans. We had a hard time forming all of our ideas but knew we wanted improvements in each of these areas. Ian met with us over several in-person sessions to understand our wish list and to brainstorm and sketch out the options. His vision for the space set our ideas into realistic plans for our budget. The patio, stairs, walkway and side niche all turned out beautifully - the team did excellent work and they were a pleasure to have around for the short time they were here. My 5yo daughter and I enjoyed sitting by the window every day to watch them work- we always said, “it’s better than watching a movie!” My daughter also says the new niche next to the driveway is too beautiful for trash cans.. she says it’s her playhouse now! The overall experience exceeded our expectations- we will use them again for future projects.
