I had been following Winesett's work now for over a year and have always loved their end products, so when we decided to do a paver project, they were our first choice. The turnaround time from estimate to job completion was extremely fast (two weeks). Eli was our designer and we showed him a few photos of what we liked. He quickly got to work drawing the outline of the proposed paver patio with curved wall, grill nook, and paver walkway leading from the driveway to the patio. Upon seeing the design, we were immediately on board. We love our new paver patio and are currently working with them on

After making the decision to completely renovate our front yard, we called Winesett and we are so glad we did! Eli helped us visualize the design and he worked with us every step of the way during the renovation process. Eli also recommended adding a paver walkway in the front of the house and WOW did that make a difference, as it pulls all the colors, rock borders, and everything together. Eli was so easy to work with, and even though we had minor changes along the way, there were no issues and Eli accommodated us. Our crew was amazing and we cannot stress how polite, friendly and professional

I gave Eli a vision for my backyard and he brought it to life. We had 10 trees removed and standing water issues with just dirt. The team was so professional and the hardest working crew I have seen. They came to work smiling and ready to work, even though it was 90 degrees! I love how everything turned out and would recommend this company to anyone I know.

I have not yet used this Winesett but I can guarantee that I will offer them every referral I can until I have job to give them myself! Last week in the Blackwater area of VB I found myself on the side of the road at 8:30am changing a flat tire with my two elementary age daughters standing under an umbrella in the pouring rain. A gentlemen whose name escapes me, pulled over in his company truck and insisted on helping. Initially what felt like an opportunity to show my daughters how empowered their mother was [to change a tire] it became a reminder that good humans still exist. And this one works
