Widening of driveway and new walkway

We found Kurt and his team to be very professional and detailed. We are very pleased with how our new walkway turned out and most of all feel confident that Kurt did a high quality job at a fair price. We would recommend Distinctive Designs to any of our family and friends and plan to hire Kurt to complete further work in our backyard.

Patio and Garden

We would absolutely recommend Kurt and his company Distinctive Designs. Kurt is knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and creative. Kurt listened to what we had envisioned, provided options and suggestions and was accurate with his estimates. Kurt helped us create our dream patio with trellis for our backyard and a beautiful starter garden in our front yard. This is only the beginning of our landscaping vision for our home, so we look forward to working with Kurt again in the near future--Tiago & Dianne

Landscape Steps

We had a terrible set of landscaped steps that were sliding to the side due to improper install and foundation. I spoke to about 5 different companies all who could not do the job or were priced very high. I came across Kurt on homestars. He was very professional. Walked my Wife and I through the process. His guys were great and did a proper professional job. Would recommend them to others!

Landscape redesign with Stone Walls & Patio

I would HIGHLY recommend Kurt & his team - Shawn, Adrian & Brendon for their workmanship & professionalism in the redesign of our backyard. The team worked incredibly hard digging the soil out, building new wallls, steps & patio ALL BY HAND! Kurt was available to consult, as changes were made along the way. We are thrilled with how it looks & can't wait to enjoy next summer. Thanks to you all & looking forward to doing the upper patio next summer!

front and rear stonework

We are pleased to recommend this company. We loved the work that they did - which was done in a timely manner, but also the recommendations the owner, Kurt Byers, made as we were not exactly clear on what we wanted. His guidance was invaluable. The work was done in a timely and cost effective manner and he is highly professional and kept us informed every step of the way! My husband and I would highly recommend this company for any kind of fencing, percola installation & design, landscaping and stone work. Kurt went above and beyond our expectations and most important, the job came in right on budget!!! These guys get a 10 in our books

Replacing stone walkway and front porch

Kurt and his crew did a fantastic job of helping us decide what stone would be right for us. They arrived first thing and put in 2 solid days of work ripping out our old stones and wood and replacing it with a really beautiful job of new stone. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking for good work and a completely courteous and professional crew. Thanks again Kurt!

Backyard stone patio

We were extremely pleased with the work that Kurt and his team did in our backyard. He was very knowledgeable and gave great input into the design of the space. He worked with us to come up with a plan that met our needs, but was within our budget.

The team was polite, worked hard, and cleaned up their mess before leaving. Kurt was on budget, and completed the project earlier than anticipated.

The only thing that I could say that wasn't perfect was the lack of choice in stone. He has a preferred supplier and their stone is pretty expensive. He says he will only work with the best though, so don't choose him if you want to cheap out on stone :)

Overall though, Kurt does fantastic work. We would use him again.
