## The honest read

Stone Edge Design, Inc. is a long-established New England pool and outdoor-living contractor. Its profiles place the company in Nashua, New Hampshire, Pepperell, Massachusetts, and Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and identify Brian Meckel as owner or president; the company says it has specialized in in-ground Gunite pools, renovations, and related hardscape work since 1990.

Its documented work includes pool construction and renovation, resurfacing, leak detection, pool service, tile and coping, pool decks, patios, retaining walls, waterfalls, masonry, and other hardscape. A 2017 Houzz review described replacement tile, coping stone, and a 1,500-square-foot pool deck completed on schedule and at the agreed price, with plumbing problems repaired without an added charge. Another 2020 reviewer praised the crew from start to finish. The written record is dated, with five reviews from 2017 through 2020, and the current platform profile reports a 3.7/5 average from three ratings.

The record is mixed. A 2017 review said the finished pool was satisfactory but reported escalating costs, a power-line incident, and major schedule and budget overruns. A separate undated BBB review describes an incomplete 2024 resurfacing project that required a third party to resolve. Those accounts make the contract, change-order, schedule, site-safety, and completion terms especially important to confirm before work begins.

Stone Edge Design may fit homeowners seeking substantial pool construction, renovation, or hardscape work, particularly projects requiring Gunite expertise. Ask which entity and location will contract for the job, request a detailed written scope and payment schedule, and clarify how utility conflicts, cleanup, delays, and unresolved defects will be handled.

**Strengths:**
- Pool construction — documented Gunite installation and renovation work
- Schedule adherence — one 2017 review cited on-time completion
- Problem resolution — plumbing issue repaired without a price increase
- Design credentials — regional pool-design awards are listed

**Concerns:**
- Cost control — one 2017 review reported escalating costs and budget overruns
- Project completion — an undated BBB review required third-party resolution
- Schedule risk — one 2017 review reported a major time overrun
- Utility safety — one 2017 review reported hitting a power line

**Where sources disagree:**
- Profiles identify Stone Edge Design in Nashua, NH, Pepperell, MA, and Chelmsford, MA; shared phone and license details support the records being related.
- The customer record is mixed: two dated Houzz reviews describe satisfactory work, while another reports cost and schedule problems and an undated BBB review describes an incomplete resurfacing project.
