A roughly $10,000 fire-pit area prompted a recent Stoned Newton customer to complain about delays, weeds growing through the stone and promised corrections that had not happened. In an August 2026 Angi review, the customer said the project started about a month late after the deposit, with messages frequently unanswered. They described portions of the finished area as unfinished and poorly contained, and said repeated assurances of a visit had produced no corrective work. That customer had hired Stoned Newton before for driveway work and had been happy with the work itself. They also said debris and trash from that earlier job sat in front of the house for more than three weeks. Their decision to hire the company again preceded the fire-pit complaint. A customer writing on Angi in June 2024 described a different experience with John and his team. A quote for a flat stone wall repair expanded to include replacing a garage slab, pressure washing pavers and reinstalling polymeric sand. The customer praised the results and appreciated John fitting the work into his schedule while accommodating the garage-door installation contractor's schedule. Angi lists Stoned Newton as family-owned, with landscaping and construction offerings that include lawn care, seasonal cleanup, retaining walls, walkways, patios, chimneys and driveways. Its Angi headline rating is 4.7 from 59 ratings. BBB lists the company as a non-accredited mason contractor with an A grade and two complaints on file. BuildZoom lists home improvement contractor registration number 211864 for Stoned Newton.
I was extremely disappointed with my most recent experience with Stoned Newton. We had previously used them for driveway work and were happy with the work, which is why we hired them again, although they left a pile of debris and trash in front of our house for more than three weeks afterward. Our more recent project was a ~$10,000 fire pit area. After we paid the deposit, the project was delayed by approximately a month, with messages frequently going unanswered. The finished product has also not held up as expected: grass and weeds are growing extensively through the stone, and portions look unfinished and poorly contained. The photos show the current condition. I have contacted Stoned Newton multiple times to have these issues corrected. Despite repeated assurances that someone would come out, nothing has been done and many messages have gone unanswered. I gave them ample opportunity to resolve this privately. Given the quality of the work, cannot recommend.
John came to quote my flat stone wall repair, and based on his teamâ s capabilities, was able to expand the quote to accommodate additional things I really needed done, including garage slab replacement, paver pressure wash and polymeric sand reinstall. The jobs look great! It is so nice to have these home â problemâ projects that I could not do myself now solved thanks to John and team. I also appreciate him working me into his schedule as well as working with/around the garage door installation contractorâ s schedule!
We hired REMOVEDin October 2024 for a 20 ft retaining wall and removal of concrete patio in the backyard. We paid him 6000 for materials and a deposit.
