Abbey Road Paving and Landscape replaced our patio which was a cracked, mossy and very old . The exposed aggregate was removed and was replaced by New York series slabs. The Abbey Road crew was professional, respectful and extremely skilled in the work they did. David Hinman, the owner, was attentive and helpful in the planning stages and an excellent communicator throughout. The project was completed in the timeline that was promised and the final result was/ is excellent. We recommend Abbey Road Paving and Landscape unreservedly.

We hired Abbey Road to install drainage to fix the swamp in our backyard and they did an exceptional job. David and his crew are very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. We are so happy to be out enjoying our yard again and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for future projects.

We had a fantastic experience hiring David and his team to do some landscaping at our co-owned duplex. Our job primarily included excavation (e.g. driveway, soil, yard waste) and patio/walkway installation (i.e. pavers). The main reasons I wouldn't hesitate to hire Abbey Road again in the future are:
Value - David's quote was comprehensive and competitive. He stuck to it even when unexpected costs came up - sorry/thanks, David! He was flexible to adjust pricing as we expanded the scope of our project - a testament to how good of a job they were doing. Quality - David's experience and eye for

An excellent experience! David at Abbey Road began with thoughtful design advice for our new interlock brick patio and completed the job in a cost-effective, professional and timely manner. The work crew was hard working, polite and friendly, the work site was kept tidy throughout and was thoroughly cleaned up at the end of the project. Recommend David and Abbey Road without reservation.

David and his crew were exceptional to work with. Obviously an experienced team. I saw Abbey Road working on our street a few months ago and subsequently went to see the job when it was finished. I was very impressed and we asked David to give a quote for an extensive renovation of our landscaping. He excavated and prepped and installed pavers for our back patio, side walk and replaced the driveway.
They also added new drain clean-outs to patios and strip drain to driveway. Exceptional!! Top quality and highly rated. I appreciate the thought and planning that was obviously required. If David would

Just had David and his crew demo an old aggregate patio and sidewalk with beautiful patterned tile. I have never seen such a hard working crew in my life. The results were stunning. I should add that David spotted a couple of issues with the house and gave us good guidance about them. David really knows his business. Huge thanks to David and his crew!

David and his team did an amazing job on our front patio. They completely transformed a garden of weeds and gravel to a beautifully modern space with paved patio, cedar planters and rock garden. David provided recommendations for plantings that would suit our design and would be easy for us to maintain - very important to us as first time gardeners! They arrived right on time, were very tidy and were able to complete the project within our budget. We are thrilled with the final result. Thank you!
