Landscapers near Newport

“Hanley recently completed a project at my home to transform a tired 10x10 concrete slab into a beautiful, functional outdoor space featuring a bluestone patio, deck, drainage, and plantings.

From the moment I contacted them, Ben was responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He came out the very next day to discuss the project and asked thoughtful questions about our vision, the types of trees and plantings we were interested in, and our budget. He quickly got to work developing a detailed design.

Ben was patient as my wife and I went through several design iterations. Once we finalized the initial concept, he provided a well-organized bid with a range of pricing options. This allowed us to prioritize the features we wanted while staying within our budget. His design was creative and included thoughtful elements we wouldn't have come up with on our own. I was especially impressed by his deep knowledge of plants — he recommended species that would thrive in our region and resist common pests and diseases.

One thing that really stood out was Ben’s honesty and transparency. During the planning phase, he pointed out a few parts of the job where we could save money by using a smaller company. He left the decision up to us — whether to have Hanley handle everything or take on a bit more involvement ourselves to reduce costs. That kind of integrity is rare and much appreciated.

Once construction began, Ben was on-site daily to ensure everything stayed on track. The Hanley crew was professional, friendly, and punctual. When a few minor issues came up with a subcontractor handling the deck, Ben addressed them promptly and effectively, resulting in a final product we absolutely love. The bluestone patio is stunning, and Ben’s idea to edge it with granite cobble really elevates the space.

Communication throughout the project was excellent. Ben responded to every question — whether about design, scheduling, or the work itself — the same day. Even after the project wrapped up, his follow-up has been top-notch. He’s remained just as responsive and has promptly addressed a couple of small items we pointed out post-installation.

Overall, we’re thrilled we chose Hanley for this project. The transformation of our backyard has earned compliments from neighbors, and we now have an outdoor space we truly enjoy. I’ll definitely turn to Hanley for any future landscaping needs and won’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.“

“Surv was fantastic, I am happy to use them and strongly recommend them to anyone interested in the services.“

“Premier Gunite Pools~By Stone Edge Design

In the winter of 2024, we decided to add a water feature to our home in Newport—fully aware this wasn’t going to be a simple backyard project. We live on The Point, where plots of land are tiny, the ground hides centuries of surprises, and retired neighbors have plenty of time to weigh in on every shovel of dirt.

We met with Premier Gunite Pools, and that’s where the dream started—tape measures, sketches, visions of summer mornings with coffee by the infinity edge. We were all in. They helped us navigate town meetings, permits, setbacks, material requirements—the whole maze. Then came the contract and deposit. Deep breath. While the payment schedule felt a little heavy in favor of the company, I hope future versions are
adjusted so both sides feel equally secure in the investment.

Phase 1 – Dig Day. If you were the kid who loved digging in the dirt, this is your Super Bowl. If you’re an adult who gets heart palpitations watching giant machines swing dangerously close to your biggest investment, maybe skip this day. But honestly? It’s wild and kind of awesome.

Phase 2 – The “Hurry Up and Wait” Stage. This part takes time. There are stretches of quiet between electrical teams, plumbers, stone workers, and inspectors—each crew moves the project one step forward. It’s slow, messy, and tests your patience. Be patient—it’s worth it.

Phase 3 – Gunite Day! The day the pool is finally born. The dusty hole becomes a real structure, and you can actually see it—your backyard oasis in the making. It’s loud, messy, and totally thrilling.

Phase 4 – The Finish Line. Sod goes down. The mess disappears. Your yard transforms. Water your grass. And exhale, it’s done.

We were swimming within the 90 days they promised. The second half of summer was everything we dreamed—mornings watching the infinity edge spill into the horizon, quiet hot tub nights, and afternoons floating in the sun.

Thank you to the entire Premier Gunite Pools team for making it happen.“

“Great chunk of Portsmouth history. Also one of the best stables in all of the northeast“

“We had an excellent experience with All Island. Our job was small (less than $100K) but all phases went smoothly. The principals came out to look at our site and generate ideas & estimates. The quoting process was detailed with options. They were the ONLY firm to draw a sketch of what we were thinking. The different installation crews came in and did their specific work swiftly, clean and respectful of our space. Each different crew had a senior person that came by to check in and ensure the job was going well. Billing was straightforward and stayed within the guidelines of the initial quote. Very happy, highy recommended. Would be the 1st place I'd go to for landscaping & hardscaping needs on another home.“
