My wife and I completely renovated a townhouse in Ridgewood, NJ. Of all the professionals and contractors who worked on the project, the best experience and tremendous outcome was with Rich Andreau of Exclusive Stoneworks. It began with a beautiful and creative custom stone design for our outdoor living space. Exclusive Stoneworks did everything they promised; on time; on budget; excellent workmanship; clean and crisp from start to finish without delay. Everything promised was delivered and the result exceeded our expectations. It is a pleasure working with a skilled professional who takes obvious pride in every aspect of his business. Exclusive Stoneworks came highly recommended - and we are so glad we hired them. It is hard to find this level of aptitude and construction quality. We are so proud of the design and finished product. We are pleased to recognize Rich and his team. Very well done from start to finish.

Rich's work is great. Crews are very skilled and professional. Their jobs are well run and they make the process easy. I hope to work with them again soon!

Rich and his team installed a large (4 ft x 70 ft) retaining wall as well as a patio on our property in 2021. Rich was great to work with through our ever changing design ideas, and through a very challenging (for everyone) 2020 season. The job came out immaculate and it was everything I had envisioned when I first contacted Rich. The pricing was honest and tracked with other estimates we got, Rich was up front about any and all scheduling updates, and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. Truly great to work with from the start of the job to finished product. I'm currently scrambling to find more project for Rich and his team to work on, because I know the work will be incredible.

We hired Rich and Exclusive Stoneworks for our backyard hard scape. The team couldn’t have been more professional, respectful of the property and they worked as if it was their place and we’re going to enjoy the results themselves. They are so detail oriented and project capable. Part of our project included a rather large Woodstone gas fired pizza oven. Clearly a large addition to our outdoor space and weighing over 1800 lbs. Rich and his team rose to the occasion by reaching out to the manufacturer to review installation specs, facade fabrication and overall assembly requirements. We have enjoyed using the outdoor space all year long. - we hired Exclusive Stoneworks to add additional grilling/smoker appliances. The area was bare and accessibility was difficult as getting to the selected spot required moving over and through already completed landscaping. The team protected the existing space. You would have never known they were there. The space needed to be cleared, graded and planted. While the area is in the woods it is like an oasis one in which we enjoy smoking all sorts of items. Exclusive is caring, protective and highly professional. Their like family

As a designer, the professionals I bring onto my projects are the most important element of my designs. Selecting Rich and his crew as my preferred mason was easy. His level of expertise, attention to detail, and ability to listen to the aesthetic goals of each project set him apart from other companies in the field. He is professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Looking forward to our next collaboration together.

Rich and Exclusive Stoneworks are by far the most professional, creative, honest and hard working team to have work on our property and made our patio look amazing. We were stuck "holding the bag" after a contractor left us, not only was Rich and his team there for us but showed us exactly what he was going build for us with computer generated pics and then went out and built EVERYTHING he promised. A+ materials, extremely clean and a more than fair estimate. Would recommend 10x's over and then some.

We hired rich and his team to revamp our backyard space, and have zero complaints about the process ! Rich and the team were accommodating and kind from day one, and not only delivered a beautiful backyard, but also a stress free experience from beginning to end. Rich is honest, and provides sound advice throughout the build. He brought our vision to life!

We had a project to put our yard back together after lighting hit 3 trees and knocked out all lighting. I called Exclusive Stoneworks and Rich. Explained what happened and he came right over to put an estimate together for us to move forward. We had some prep work to do and Rich was so generous in lending one of his main workers to come help with the prep. Who does that? Rich does! He and his team are so professional and attentive you don’t have to worry about anything. Quality craftsmanship, expert site work and just great people. They’re the BEST!

I spent several months interviewing and researching hardscape companies to do our backyard renovation. I came across several companies that had fake reviews on Google, others that said they could do it all. Some had pushy sales tactics, you name it. Then I met Rich from Exclusive Stonework’s Custom Hardscapes, I immediately knew we found the right person and the right company to work with. I could not have imagined just how much they SURPASSED our expectations. Rich came out to view the project and spent time thinking about every aspect of the job. He is truly a design genius, and his decades of experience in the business are evident.

We had Rich do a backyard renovation that included a fireplace, built in BBQ, new patio and lighting. I highly recommend him based on his design, craftsmanship and work ethic. From start to finish he did a great job! Helped with the design, material selection and once we got started he was there everyday to completion of the project. We love our new backyard!

Having worked with dozens of Mason's and landscape/hardscape contractors over the last decade, Rich and his team at exclusive stone works have set a standard for construction and implementation that's is unparalleled. Their execution is perfect and their ideas are incredible. They are reliable and stick to the schedules they provide. I have always found their pricing to be appropriate and fair. His photographs just don't to his work justice!!! I highly recommend him.

I have to say that my project with Rich and Exclusive Stoneworks turned out amazing. I have a piece of property that was slopped towards my house with a virtually unusable backyard. During my first discussion with Rich he was full of ideas and suggestions to make the space to make the space not only functional but the talk of the neighborhood. Rich and his team were professional, helpful and conscientious. I highly recommend them for your next hard scape project!! Regards, Ken

I Highly Recommend Rich Andreu & the whole team over at Exclusive Stoneworks. There team is terrific. There only goal is 100% customer satisfaction and the smiles on there clients faces, and it shows. Rich & his team put there whole heart into it, they discuss every detail with there clients to assure there hardscape installation goes smoothly. If and when your in the market for any hardscape or outdoor living space at your home or business, give them a call, you wont be disappointed.

My wife & I had a ton of ideas on what to do with our front walk & backyard but were not sure about how to execute them. Once Rich from Exclusive Stoneworks got back there he was able to create something beyond our wildest dreams. His understanding of stone, color, space and how all the materials work together, truly is a gift. He created an oasis for my family which will be enjoyed for generations. From the mixing of natural stone and pavers, to incorporating existing elements in our yard, he brought to life a phenomenal patio, fire pit and outdoor kitchen that flows and works perfectly with our 100 year old home. In addition to being a master in the field with an extrodinary vision on what is possible around your house, he is also an excellent human being. Honest, friendly, approachable and most important, caring. To know that he wants your project to be perfect, even more than you do, is a very comforting feeling. I cannot say enough about how impressed and satisfied we are with our Exclusive Stoneworks experience.

Our project started off simple enough; an outdoor kitchen and patio. One year and a three level patio/pool deck/fire pit that connects to a curved shaped counter later our beautiful backyard is complete and we couldn't be happier. Rich was very patient with us for that year as we changed our minds on both the layout and colors and then changed them back again. Once the project got underway, it wasn't quite as easy as we all thought, but Rich stuck with it every step of the way. He gave us many suggestions that enhanced the beauty of the project. His expert craftsmanship has exceeded our expectations and everyone who has seen it is in awe. Exclusive Stoneworks is highly recommended.

Rich and his crew did the patio in our backyard. He made it SO easy - from picking out the pavers to great ideas to make the most of our space. They were on time every day, very respectful and a pleasure to have here! The patio looks AMAZING and we will DEFINITELY have Rich back when we are ready to change out our walkway, put in a firepit area and expand on the patio. I HIGHLY recommend Exclusive Stoneworks for ANY stonework/paver job!!!

Exclusive recently complete a new patio, fire-pit with a sitting wall and outdoor kitchen surrounding our pool and we couldn't be happier! I know it isn't difficult to find a contractor or landscaping who thinks they can produce quality hard-scaping who will provide you with a project that might meet expectations, potentially miss your time frames and collect a check and be on their way; however, you won’t get this with Rich from Exclusive. Rich cared about every detail of the job and was equally concerned for our level of satisfaction as well as the quality of his work; he cares because his name is associated with the project which he takes personally. Rich’s input and recommendations were invaluable and he never took the easy way out. Rich told us what he was going to do, when he was going to do it and followed through on everything we discussed. We've had many critical eyes on our patio and have only heard overwhelming-positive feedback. The integrity of Rich’s work is obvious by the exceptional quality of work he produced in our backyard which we’re grateful for.

Exclusive Stoneworks, LLC built an award winning, full outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire pit, Cambridge paver patio and eating area. They cut no corners. Professional, respectful, clean and crafty workers. Reliable and on time every day until the job was done to perfection. The owner Rich, really takes his work to heart. The pre-craftsmanship drawings of the project give you an idea of what the finished product will look like prior to any work being started. I highly recommend Exclusive Stoneworks, LLC for any job, big or small.

Being a Manufacturer you have to always be careful who you recommend to install your product. From the first job that Exclusive chose to use our product on a job, not only did they display the quality and consistency of their work, they amplified the beauty of our product. We don't have to think twice, EVER, when recommending Exclusive Stoneworks and the owner, Rich Andreu

Rich built an outdoor kitchen for us last summer. He did a great job and was very helpful with the design and features. He came to the job every day, was vey reliable and available anytime we had a question. We were very pleased with his work and recommend him highly. Would not hesitate to use him again!

The Owner of Exclusive Stoneworks, Rich, drew the design of my patio two years before I gave the go ahead to build it. When we first met to discuss what I wanted, he listened and understood the look and old-world feel I wanted for my "oasis." Two years later, without any change to the original design, his team hand carved every stone, and built the wall and the steps to perfection. Rich himself designed and built the fountain exactly as I wanted it built, using his own vision and expert engineering for placement and aesthetic. He added landscaping of his own choosing around the fountain to complement and finish the look. Then we added 10 beautiful evergreens on earth Rich built up for more privacy. Rich is an expert in his field, and has a natural 'eye' and ability for landscape and construction. I highly recommend him and his company. My patio is the talk of the town.

Overall one of the best Contractors I've dealt with in the past 15 years. Their prices are fair and no matter how big the job was it was always exceptional service. The company employees are neat, knowledgeable, and respect the client expectations. The Owner is onsite 100% of the job!
