Stone And Garden Solutions is a small, family-run outfit in Everett founded by Marlon Pinto, working landscape, hardscape, and masonry jobs — sod, retaining walls, pavers, patios, and walkways. Its own site says it's been running since 2012, though a separate page on the same site claims 33 years of experience, so the exact tenure is worth asking about directly. Every hired-them account here centers on Marlon himself. In a 2015 Angi review, a homeowner described getting a couple of comparison estimates from him for a front-yard redesign, calling the rate reasonable and the two-day turnaround faster than promised. Earlier accounts from 2013 and 2014 describe a new patio and sod job called "outstanding", 35 trees planted in a day and a half on HomeAdvisor, and a crumbling retaining wall replaced neatly and on time — all dated 2013–2015, the years the written record covers. On Angi and HomeAdvisor the company holds a 4.9-star average from 30 ratings, and its Google profile shows 4.7 stars from 3 ratings. The one thing worth pinning down before booking is how long the company has actually been operating — its own website gives conflicting numbers. Otherwise the pattern across every review is the same: Marlon shows up, communicates clearly, and finishes hardscape and landscaping work cleanly. For sod installs, retaining walls, patios, or general yard hardscaping in the Everett area, this is a small crew with a consistent, if dated, track record — worth a call to confirm current pricing and availability given how much time has passed since the written reviews.

Marlon was very responsive and worked with me to provide a couple estimates in order to compare to other businesses. He also helped me to make decisions on what we wanted for our front yard redesign. I feel I was given a reasonable rate. They said it would take 2-3 days and they were done in less than 2 days. I was happy with their productivity and attention to the work. The quality of the work was great and was just what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Marlon and his team and will likely use them again in the future.
They are great ans always you back!
Marlon & his crew went way beyond our expectations! They worked so very hard and were extremely neat. Marlon had wonderful ideas for us and we have made a very dear friend.
Marlon - was a pleasure to work with! He arrived on time and he worked extremely hard with the rest of his team. Planted 35 trees in a day and a half and thoroughly cleaned before he left.
We had a great experience with Stone and Garden Solutions. Marlon and his crew were prompt, professional and quick, completing our work in one (albeit) long day. He walked us through everything we needed to know about our new sod, checked with me to make sure the bushes were trimmed the way I wanted, and was very clear about contacting him if we had any difficulties. And, he even cleaned my garage - everything was cleaner then when he started. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
