Stone Ridge Outdoor Experiences describes itself as a design-build swimming pool, hardscape and outdoor living contractor based in Newton, NH, serving southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. The company says owner Peter Cook started it in 1999 after finishing a college degree in Horticulture/Landscape Design/Environmental Technologies. A recent customer who hired it as their pool contractor said Andrew and his team paid close attention to every detail throughout the project. A 2026 customer described a large, multi-phase project: a gunite pool renovation, outdoor kitchen, hardscape and patio, new deck and covered bar. A 2025 customer planning a new pool, hardscape, pavilion and fire pit said Pete coordinated all the outside vendors they needed. In 2024, a customer with drainage issues said Peter generated a plan with a drone, and that the work was completed in a week. A 2024 customer said the workers cut stones to fit the organic shape of their pool and stayed within the original quote. A 2024 homeowner said Peter helped with coordination between their four other contractors. In 2021, a customer said Peter and his crew designed and installed pavers around their pool, created a new walkway, and got the pool done before the first snowfall. In 2014, a Houzz reviewer said Peter sent a 3D design plan the same night they met. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+.

This was a large, multi-phase project—gunite pool renovation, outdoor kitchen, hardscape and patio, new deck, and covered bar—and the end result exceeded our expectations. Great workmanship, solid communication, and a team that clearly knows how to manage complex outdoor projects. We’d absolutely recommend them.
If you so happen to come across Stone Ridge Outdoor Experiences for your pool contractor needs consider yourself lucky! In the very beginning, we were assessing different pool contractors to get an idea around putting a new pool, hardscape, Pavillion, fire pit, etc. After meeting Pete, right away we knew we wanted to go with Stone Ridge. Pete was highly communicative throughout the whole process and his creativity brought our dream to life. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we so appreciate his commitment, professionalism, responsiveness and designer expertise through the whole project. He even coordinating all the outside vendors we needed to work which made a very big project appear seamless to us. When Andrew and his team came out to start making everything come to life, we were blown away. All of these guys are hardworking, personable, have the utmost attention to detail as well as being experts in their field. We couldn’t be happier and thrilled that we found an exceptional pool contractor. We get so many compliments from our friends and family that they now want to use Stone Ridge for their backyard dreams too.
WOW!! Peter and team did a great job creating our backyard oasis. From design, construction to completion, you can’t ask for a better experience. What stands out the most? How much Peter and team care. Peter took the time to meet with us regularly during the design process. Yes, we had a lot of questions but he didn’t mind. His onsite team was incredible. Watching them work, it was like they were working in their own home. Every day, showed up at the same time, worked throughout the day and wrapped up. They kept the yard organized, clean and safe all throughout the process. Highly recommend Peter & Stone Ridge. As a matter of fact, already recommended them to three people so far and there will be more!!!
My husband and I were looking for over a year to have an in-ground pool put in our yard. A project we knew, wasn't going to be an easy one with the type of yard we had and retaining wall we knew we were going to need. A lot of companies wouldn't even give us a quote because the job was too difficult and some we had to even "let go" because they dropped the ball and months had passed without anything even taking place. Then, my husband found Stone Ridge. I CANNOT express how impressed and 100% satisfied we were with them. Pete and his employees not only satisfied us with every request we had/made, they went above and beyond to make our back the perfect little oasis. Not even to mention the turn around time and cleanliness of their work. I would recommend them for any job and will definitely be having them back for more projects. Do yourself a huge favor and check out their website and make the call if you are looking to have something done right. I would give 10 stars.
