Testimonials & Reviews
Don't just take our word for it
We had a fantastic experience with Brouder & Sons Construction and couldn't be happier with our new back walkway! John went over my inspiration pictures and helped me to choose the best materials for the job. He suggested adding a decorative landing and a subtle curve to the walkway and it made all the difference. We have gotten so many compliments! John is extremely detail oriented and takes the time to do the job right. He is neat and cleaned up the job site before leaving. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Brouder & Sons for my next project!
Mary ObertJohn was excellent to work with, and the finished product looks fantastic.
Robert OBrienJohn and his team completely transformed our steps and walkway, and we couldn’t be happier! They replaced our brick steps with sleek gray granite and created a stunning walkway. John’s suggestion to add subtle lighting was a game-changer, enhancing both the beauty and safety of our front entrance. He was incredibly responsive, answering our questions within hours and guiding us from design to completion with expertise and care. His deep knowledge of materials and design trends ensured a perfect match for our house. The result is beyond what we imagined, and we highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!
Melissa BelbustiJohn was awesome from start to finish. He is incredibly communicative and was easy to talk to via text, call, or email. He provided design guidance and was quick to offer cost alternatives and reliability information on the various stone/product companies to pick from. He was here with his team each day and oversaw the quality of work. I could not be happier with this project and how easy it was. I knew we needed some kind of retaining wall to make it work and was a little unsure of how it would all look. John brought it to life better than I imagined!
Kristen MerriganJohn and his team installed an irrigation system and a front walkway at our house, and I'm very happy with how each of the jobs came out. The irrigation system works well, ensuring total coverage of the yard. The system John installed is extremely easy to use. We were also very impressed with how the walkway came out. John was very patient and willing to show us different layout options for the brick, as well as offering his advice for what he thought would look good given the length of the walkway and backdrop against the house. John was also very communicative throughout the process, giving us notice well in advance if he thought there could be delays due to weather or other jobs running over. It turned out to be a moot point as he was able to stay almost exactly on schedule, but it was refreshing to have a contractor give such notice on potential delays in advance so that we could adjust our schedules accordingly. Overall, I highly recommend Brouder & Sons for hardscaping and irrigation installation and would not hesitate to hire John and his team again!
Tony MessinaJohn and his crew did an amazing job transforming a crumbling seating space into a fantastic looking walkway and patio. John and his men were always punctual, hardworking, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this company for any "hardscaping" project.

Robert PetersonAfter I had Brouder & Son do my patio and rear entrance, it was a no-brainer to use them again when we decided to redo our front entrance. It has been 5 years and not one paver has heaved or shifted. If you want your job done right the first time, Brouder & Son is the team to call. Highly recommended. Their team demonstrated great knowledge in their field, answering all my questions and offering advice throughout the project. What really stood out was their forward-thinking approach-when installing my new walkway, they proactively put down service lines underneath, anticipating any future needs I might have. The work was completed quickly and efficiently. When design or cosmetic recommendation arose during the jobs, I got a text to see how I wanted it handled ensuring our vision was aligned. They were very flexible and handled everything the job could throw at them. I couldn’t be happier with the results!😀
