A new bluestone and granite patio is the latest job a Spruce Creek Landscapes customer wrote up: they said Chad and the Spruce Creek team gave them an outdoor living space in line with their historical house. A recent customer said Chad set the conditions for their Soake Pool in time for them to be swimming on July 1, helped with the design when their plans were fuzzy, and stayed on budget. The company's website lists landscape construction, masonry and walls, patio and flatwork, fire features, excavating, Soake pools, landscape lighting, planting and design drawings. It names a service area that includes Dover, Durham, Exeter, Portsmouth, Rye, Kittery and York. A 2025 customer said Chad created their backyard several years earlier, and that Chad and crew later changed their dated gravel driveway into a paving stone one. That 2025 customer also said they were priced fairly and completed work on time. A 2025 reviewer said the owner, Chad, added massive stones he personally found in the woods to their backyard. A 2025 customer described a multi-phased project that began with an extension to an existing pool patio, and said Chad let the kids place the last stone in the wall after carving their names in it. A 2024 customer said Chad had design suggestions for a walkway and that he and Spencer were easy to work with. A 2023 customer described phase 1 of a backyard remodel with the hardscape and said Chad's guidance helped identify materials, options and cost changes when the design changed. A 2023 customer said they were tight on time for an 1,100-square-foot patio that many contractors had said could not be done in time, and that Chad Aiken, the owner, said it could. A 2022 customer said Chad made a patio out back with a walkway to the back door and raised garden beds on either side, complete with lighting. A 2022 customer said they were very happy with how their patio and lawn regrading came out.

Chad and the Spruce Creek team did an incredible job on our new bluestone / granite patio. They were fully transparent, professional and excellent to work with. Their attention to detail and design ensured we had an outdoor living space that was in alignment with our historical house. I fully recommend them for any future project.
Chad took our blank canvas and not only perfectly set the conditions right for our Soake Pool but did it in time for us to be swimming on July 1 which was faster than we expected. The biggest thing Chad did was help us with the design since we had fuzzy plans and we worked together on the shared vision that he and his team expertly made happen! Highly recommend!! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear management of expectations meant not only are we very happy but he stayed on budget which was a breath of fresh air. Thank you to Chad and his awesome team!
Chad created my great backyard several years ago--and this year when it was time to redo my driveway, there was only one company I knew I needed to call! Chad and crew did a fantastic job changing my dated gravel driveway into a lovely paving stone one. The first time I drive on it, I thought "why didn't I do this sooner?" I have recommended Chad to many neighbors and friends all with the same happy results. They are priced fairly, complete work on time, and have the needed flair for design that I appreciate. Contact them! You will not be disappointed!
Spruce Creek Landscapes and its owner, Chad, are far and away the best contractor we’ve ever worked with. He completely transformed our blank canvas of a backyard into a true masterpiece. Chad isn’t just a landscaper—he’s an artist and a hardscape genius. What really set him apart was his creativity throughout the process. He didn’t just follow a plan; he elevated it. He added thoughtful ideas along the way, even incorporating massive stones he personally found in the woods to create depth and dimension that we never imagined possible. Every step of the project only got better and better, which was such a refreshing change of pace compared to every other contractor experience we’ve had. Chad’s passion, eye for detail, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who can not only bring your vision to life but take it to the next level, Spruce Creek Landscapes is who you need to call. We cannot recommend Chad highly enough-just look at all the glowing reviews, and you’ll see why!
This review is long overdue! I don't even know how to quickly summarize our experience in a review - Chad and his team were outstanding - his level of care, professionalism, product and design knowledge, and humbleness, was truly expressed in his work and work ethic. We hired Spruce Creek for a multi-phased project, beginning with an extension to our existing pool patio - a space that was ultimately an eye sore, full of dead grass. Chad was very patient as we worked through the aesthetics and finally settled on our product selection. His team went above and beyond on this project, offering suggestions and guidance throughout, as we were not looking for a traditional "cookie cutter" patio. He even involved the kids, allowing them to place the last stone in the wall after carving their names in it, and ensured that our pool remained clean :-). We would highly recommend Spruce Creek! Thank you!
