A recent customer said Greg suggested a variety of granite mailboxes and lampposts, and that Peter, who delivered the products, laid the granite precise and level. For a hardscape project in Ohio, a recent customer bought pavers and said Chris Lifrieri worked through several different options when the shipping got complex. A 2026 customer praised the installer and called Peter professional. A 2024 customer who needed front stairs for a first home said the steps were delivered in a timely fashion, and that Peter, the delivery person, was careful handling them. A 2023 customer said Swenson staff recommended a local contractor, Bennet General Contracting, whose crew did the demo and installed two new lamp posts.
