Mark and Jen are great to work with. Jen has great control of e-mail communication, we knew when material was going to arrive and when the crew would arrive and she was very prompt in answering any of our questions. Mark and his team work in sync with each other and I was very impressed with how they left the job site cleaned and picked up every day. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our project!

I did a small patio with Northern Pines. Their communication was excellent - letting me know the timing for the project and for delivery of materials. They did a great job and I love my new backyard patio.

NP did excellent work on my front entry patio project. They installed drainage, a two level retaining wall and a paver patio that completely transformed the front of my house. Thevwirk exceeded expectations, and we could not be happier. We are planning to hire them again. Thank you!
