Stem & Stone Landscape Construction is run by James, who works hands-on with homeowners on landscape and hardscape projects. Reviewers consistently praise paver driveways, walkways and granite steps, plus a full backyard transformation, describing James and his crew as staying within budget and finishing when they said they would. One 2026 review also credits James with steering a project through a town conservation committee's approval process. Not every review is positive: a March 2026 account describes missed appointments and calls that went unanswered, a break from the four five-star reviews otherwise. Anyone booking should confirm scheduling directly, since that is the one point of friction reviewers raise — the finished work itself draws no complaints.

James was a fantastic fit for our backyard project, especially since we needed the town conservation committee’s approval. James was a key player in the approval process and kept things running smoothly throughout the landscaping construction. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Stem and Stone for any future projects.
Likes to waste customers' time by making appointments and then not showing up or calling. MANY better landscape options out there
Stem and stone did a phenomenal job at my house they put a beautiful paver driveway and walkway with granite steps. The owner James was a pleasure to work with and stayed within my budget perfectly. I highly recommend this company for any of your masonry needs they are responsive, quick and did a great job.
James in his team are true masters at their craft. Completely transformed my mothers backyard. If you can imagine it, Stem and Stone can do it! Showed up when they said they would and came in under budget! Thank you again James! Highly recommended!!!
