Barmby Landscape & Design

We couldn't be happier with our new bluestone patio, brick walkway, lighting, and complete landscape transformation. Of all the contractors we worked with on our home renovation project, Jon and his crew were the easiest to work with, paid attention to detail, and were on time and on budget. I'm getting tired of fielding all the compliments from the neighbors 😀!

I found Jon Barmby and his team through the City of Philadelphia's Rain Check Program (which I highly recommend to any fellow city dwellers who are considering a change!) Our old back patio left a LOT to be desired--a "slab" of thin, cracked concrete, a retaining wall that was falling down, and a dilapidated fence...needless to say it all had to go! My husband and our stucco guy tackled the wall/fence bits and we hired Jon and his crew to replace our many layers of concrete with permeable pavers. Not only are the pavers better for the city's water shed but they look absolutely fantastic--and no doubt in large part due to their impeccable installation. Working with Barmby Landscaping was a breeze. Jon is my favorite kind of tradesperson--honest, reasonable, professional, and overall the kind of guy you want to hang out with when it's all said and done. Even when we ran into a small snaffoo with the manufacturer sending the wrong color paver--Jon stepped up to the plate and did everything he could to make it right as quickly as possible. We also have his team to thank for a 5' limestone step they installed to match the new wall and for finishing the step that leads to our back alley--both of which are way better than we ever could have expected! All in all, from city to suburbs, I would highly recommend Jon and his crew for all your landscaping needs. I wish I had more land so we had more opportunities to work together! ;)

While having an idea of our hardscaping/landscaping needs, Jon was able to guide us on the best path on getting us what we described/our vision. Suggestions were made and ideas were discussed. His knowledge is evident. This is the second time Jon and his team have performed multiple jobs at our Paoli residence. We are thankful a friend recommended him 3 years ago.

Jon Barmby created a deck and patio area for us, as well as our parking area. His hardscape work (the patio and walkway and driveway) are just beautiful and he really understood what we wanted, and provided the landscaping plants, etc, to fulfill our dream back yard. Then we had him come back to redo our front entry way. He was there with his crew almost all of the time for each job, and they were very polite and well mannered, as well as very hard working fellows. In fact, several of our neighbors saw his work and hired him to do work for them, too. In this day and age when most companies barely call you back, working with Barmby Landscaping was a wonderful experience.
