We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Designs by Longo! Carmine and Andrew were absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. They were on site constantly, personally overseeing every phase of our backyard patio project—including the beautiful firepit and custom grill area—to make sure everything was done to perfection. Their hands-on approach and attention to detail gave us tremendous confidence in the process. Beyond their professionalism, both Carmine and Andrew were incredibly personable and easy to communicate with, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Our new backyard area has completely transformed our home, and we can’t recommend Designs by Longo highly enough for anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a team that truly cares about their work.

We had a great experience with this family-owned masonry company for our patio and driveway project. We used them in the past and were satisfied and used their services again. The quality of their work is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. They were professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. The patio looks amazing, the driveway came out perfect, and the entire project was completed as promised. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for excellent masonry work. They even provided cost saving recommendations on underground plumbing lines that could have become an issue down the road.

Designs by Longo did a fantastic job in my backyard. They were very meticulous and made sure I was happy with everything. Not only did they create a staircase flanked by two beautiful retaining walls but also landscaped my back and front yards beautifully. I highly recommend them for all your landscaping & masonry needs.

This review is 2 & 1/2 years in the making... We decided it was time to overhaul the backyard in the spring of 2022. I reached out to my friend/neighbor, who has a beautiful backyard, for a recommendation for pavers. Much to my surprise, he did not recommend the company that did his backyard. He recommended Longo who did his friends backyard. I think there is something to be said when someone recommends someone they didn't use because they like the work better than what they have. The Longo team did an amazing job in our yard. A brand new backyard. Pavers all the way around. They turned our rarely used tiny yard into an spacious outdoor space that we use all the time. Carmine was great with the design process and understood exactly what our needs were and what I was looking to accomplish. It's been over 2 years now and our backyard is still amazing. Everything has held up and is still as flat as the day it was installed. Couldn't be happier....

Designs by Longo truly exceeded my expectations with their creative design and exceptional workmanship. The team demonstrated professionalism, respect, reliability, timeliness, courtesy, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to delivering a high-quality project. Andrew and Carmine consistently offered innovative and valuable creative concepts. Andrew and his team provided exceptional craftsmanship to all aspects of the project, including carpentry, electrical, and restoration of landscaping, which were executed flawlessly. The result was stunning with aesthetically pleasing outcomes. The project was completed on schedule, and I wholeheartedly recommend Designs by Longo for their exceptional services.

Carmine and his team were a dream to work with. Showed up when they said they would, completed the design to perfection, and were quick to fix any minor detail. I can say they went above and beyond in our backyard and I would use them again in a heartbeat. Carmine or Andrew were on site to ensure things were being done properly every day and in constant communication with us. I am so happy we chose them to complete our backyard!

We have used Designs by Longo 3 times now. First in 2017 for a huge backyard makeover including a fire pit, retaining wall, sidewalks and 3 sets of steps in front and back. The quality of work, communication and experience far exceeded my expectations. We moved in 2022 and called them again for a patio in our new backyard - again seamless communication and excellent quality of work. Just last week they finished our 3rd project - stone facing on the front of our house and beautiful new steps and landing. We recommend them regularly and those who have used them have said the same .. their work is beautiful. They have great integrity and are fair and communicative. Thank you Carmine and team!

We are very happy with our new patio and pool pavers. Carmine and Andrew were great throughout the whole process and their team did amazing work with great attention to detail. They have transformed our backyard and we are so glad we chose Designs By Longo!

From the first time Andrew from Designs by Longo came to look at our property and the potential it had…I knew eventually they would be doing something really nice for us. After meeting with Andrew, he made a suggestion we had not even thought about, and our project ended up on the opposite side of the backyard compared to what we were originally thinking about. Now, we have a beautiful pavers split level double patio coming off a beautiful pavers walkway connecting to the front walkway we already had. It’s a space that will be home to a hot tub, gazebo, grill, a firepit/chair area and a lounging table/chair area. The landscaping they did at the end really finished it up for the amazing look it now all has. We couldn’t have been happier and Andrew was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The entire team who did the job was amazing from beginning to end and met our expectations/needs and then some! Thank you Designs By Longo!

We couldn’t be happier with the job Designs by Longo did on my backyard! We just installed a pool, and they handled all the pavers beautifully. I asked for some design help, and they went above and beyond—basically creating the entire design for me. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their attention to detail shows in every corner. Highly recommend!

Great people to work with, have good inputs and idea work was excellent. the workers were very conscientious of what they were doing. project turned out beautiful will use them again in the future watched them work at our neighbors home and hired them on the spot

Amazing work, easy to work, reliable, no stone unturned. Any issues that popped up due to previous home issues, they made better than new. Would recommend to anyone. The yard came out amazing they beatified every possible space and made everything efficient.

Andrew and his team (Marvin, Victor, and other very skillful workers) did the outstanding job to renovate our patio. First, they removed two mid-sized pine trees. Then, the existing concrete patio was demolished using a bobcat. Then, after the precise measurements using laser equipment, they excavated the tap layer of the soil and installed 6 inches of RCA (Recycled Concrete Aggregate). Once the base was in place, the Cambridge paving stones on a bed of fine sand for 23' x 45' patio and 10' x 4' walkway we're installed. Polimeric sand was then swept into the joints between the pavingstones. Also, on the side of the patio, three 6' x 4' flower boxes and the outside island grill kitchen made of Cambridge wall blocks were built. The kitchen was equipped with a granite countertop. During the one weak of the project, Andrew Longo permanently was on the site, supervising the job. He was also very attentive to all our questions, and he made several very valuable suggestions. We like our new patio with flower beds and the outdoor kitchen very much, and we can strongly recommend " Designs by Longo" for the patio renovation, landscaping, and masonry. Aleksandr Korochik

Working with Andrew and Carmine from Designs By Longo was great. From planning and design all the way through install they helpful and thought of all the details. They installed pavers, sod, plantings and landscape lighting. The one thing that drew me to them was their excellent masonry work. You don’t get any sloppy corners or turns, everything flows smooth. My biggest pet peeves with masonry is when symmetry doesn’t match from one side to another or a big brick on one side and a small brick on the other. With Designs By Longo there was none of that. I am a guy that always finds the small details or imperfections and I can say with these guys there weren’t any. I can’t wait to have them back for the backyard Reno!

We, along with several family members, have been customers of Designs by Longo for many years. Andrew Longo has designed our patio, driveway, walkways and front garden. He talked to us about our vision and masterfully created beyond what we could imagine for these areas. He and his team were always prompt, communicative and respectful. We knew we were in good hands and are already planning our next project!

Carmine and his crew did a great job with the pavers and the walkway up to my front patio. They were very professional and cleaned up really well when the project was done. I would definitely recommend them.

Carmine Longo and his guys were awesome. They came in and completed the job in a timely matter while making sure not to rush through the job and taking care of the details. This is the second time we’ve used Designed By Longo and both times were an absolute pleasure.

I can truly say that they are amazing. I was scheduled to do my patio in mid June. My daughters birthday was coming up and he was able to squeeze me in and get it done before the date. His employees professionalism and work is amazing. Carmine made the process seemless. The communication was great and his flexibility was amazing. He had alot of ideas and suggestions so he will definitely be coming back to do more work. If your looking to have an oasis in your yard definitely call designs by longo.

Just a few days ago I had my patio redone by Designs by Longo. I had chosen them because I saw the incredible work they did in my son-in-law’s backyard. They showed up on time, they were totally prepared and ready to start immediately on arrival, and completed the job in about 7 hours. Their workers were amazing and Carmine and Andrew are a dream to work with. If you are in need of a landscaping and masonry company that you can trust, look no further. You won’t be disappointed.

After meeting with several contractors to transform our backyard, we hired Designs by Longo to get the job done — and they went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Carmine and Andrew are masters of their craft, and walked us through the process beginning to end. It was evident from day one that they take great pride in what they do and how they do it, and their attention to detail is unmatched. Find a contractor that the owners are on site and get dirty every day, I dare you. I work with contractors daily for a living, and there are far too many out there that solely do this for a paycheck and put in the bare minimum — but these guys are world class and treat your home as if it was their own. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. I’ll be in touch with them for future work, and I highly recommend that you do the same.

Great job done on our pool area, stonework looks amazing.. worked with us to design some areas that were not straightforward. Met us to help pick out stone. Work was done in a timely fashion, never worried about timelines or communication. Everything was cleaned up after work. Definitely recommend.

Seriously these guys are the absolute best. They took a mess and turned it into a sanctuary. Working with Carmine and Andrew was a dream. Carmine has such great taste and I love that he stayed on top of everything and advised us on the best way to complete the project so it wouldn’t look cheap - we sold our house at $300k above what we wanted because everyone who put in s bid fell in love with the backyard. Can’t wait to have Longo work on our new house!

We had our front walk way done a few years ago & we loved the outcome. This past fall we decided to re-do our back patio. The new patio completely transformed our back yard beyond our imagination. Working with Designs by Longo was quick, easy and efficient. They are extremely knowledgable in every aspect of design and installation. They were there to answer any questions we had and offer suggestions on how to make our back yard look the best it can. We are so excited to use our back patio this spring and summer! We cannot suggest them enough & for any future projects we will definitely be using Designs by Longo.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Designs by Longo. From start to finish, Carmine took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve with our backyard. One of our biggest concerns was could they build their design, and they absolutely did! Carmine was on the job everyday to oversee the guys, not that they needed much supervision. Communication was great, and top notch craftsmanship!!! We are beyond excited to enjoy our backyard this upcoming season! We would absolutely use them again.

Designs by Longo did a fantastic job transforming our front and back yards. They were very responsive to our input during the design phase, and made great recommendations. The masonry and landscaping work was outstanding, and we are very happy with how it all turned out. I highly recommend.

Designs by Longo truly are phenomenal. The details they do and offer for their clients are top tier. The vision, the design, the offerings are truly awesome. They've done my patio, outdoor kitchen, front of my house and driveway and the curb appeal to my home has already given me incredible value to my house. Highly recommend them to anyone or everyone.

Carmine and Andrew and their crew did outstanding work on my pavers, driveway and masonry walls. I would highly recommend Designs by Longo, they are conscientious about every detail.

We are very happy with our new pool patio and surrounding landscaping! We have also received many compliments from friends, family, and even other industry professionals. Carmine is personable, professional and has a great eye for design—something that was very important to us when selecting who to work with. The quality of work and attention to detail are top-notch. We are already planning to use Designs by Longo services again and highly recommend to anyone looking for top craftsmanship and expertise.

Carmine and team were professional and their creative design was the reason we chose them. Our backyard patio and pool area was transformed! We were very happy with the outcome of this home project.

Like many homeowners, this wasn’t my first project, so needless to say, there were some reservations considering the scope of what was involved. This feeling quickly subsided from the moment they started. You immediately noticed the difference and seen what sets Designs by Longo apart from the rest. Carmine and his team completed my paver patio and pool remodel with precision and attention to detail. Carmine returned every call and answered every question. Absolute professionals!

We used Designs by Longo for our backyard renovation last summer and couldn’t be happier with the product AND process. Andrew and/or Carmine were on site every day, constantly checking in with us to make sure we understood the process and patiently guided us through any necessary decisions. We ended up with a new backyard that was not only done properly but is EXACTLY the way we wanted it. I needed surgery mid-renovation and Andrew and Carmine really stepped up to coordinate with pool/sprinkler/electrical and keep things moving. Honestly, they made the whole process feel easy and we’re thrilled with our new backyard.

Andrew and Carmine at Designs By Longo are true professions and do incredible work. Their attention to detail and creativity will change your entire property. I used them for my driveway, front porch, backyard patio, and all the landscaping surrounding my home. I couldn’t be happier with the final results. I highly recommend calling them. You are in good hands with this company.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew and Carmine, and I am beyond thrilled with the transformation they brought to my backyard. They turned my once-dull outdoor space into a true oasis that feels like a peaceful retreat every time I step outside. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. My backyard has truly become my favorite part of the house. It’s an investment I’ll enjoy for years to come!

Carmine was great! Built a set of stairs with drainage for the entry to our CYO Sports complex. It was a dirt eyesore before, now it is a BEAUTIFUL entryway to our fields!!! Thanks again Carmine!

From the start Designs By Longo was amazing. We worked directly with Carmine who was professional, very responsive, catered to our ideas, wants and needs and never made us feel pressured. They worked quickly and did everything exactly how they said they would... not only did the work come out absolutely gorgeous (people have stopped in front of our house multiple times to ask for the name of who did it) but it also was perfect for our practical purposes too. I also have to add that when it came time for our stone selection, Carmine was beyond patient with us and helped us make decisions on what might look best. He always shared an honest and respectful professional opinion and helped our vision come to life! Carmine and the team were amazing and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them!! Highly recommend!!!

Had a great experience with Andrew & his team; from designing a dream landscape from nothing, changing plans as I requested, always being available to answer questions and speedy professional install. 10/10 recommend Designs By Longo!

Andrew and his team were professional, had a great design and was able to be very flexible with our vision while providing great ideas and feedback. He was patient with our time frame and we didn’t feel pressured into anything. Him and his crew did amazing work on our front steps and we would definitely use him and his team again if we ever needed masonry work. Highly recommend!

Longos where amazing to work with. My dream backyard came to life thanks to their amazing ideas .I would recommend them to anybody that’s thinking of redoing their backyard. From the pool to the fire pit, I love you spending my days in my backyard full of amazing work Five star workers and a family run business .

Working with Carmine and Andrew was an amazing experience. They helped me turn my dream backyard into a reality. The entire crew was hard working and reliable. Highly recommend

Where do I begin… We were looking for a company to lay down pavers, in our yard. Designs by Longo was the last company we contacted and should have been the first. Carmine came over and gave us a price on the spot, along with drawings just a few hours later. From the moment we spoke to him, during the process and even after the project was completed, everyone was extremely professional and personable. We were EXTREMELY happy with Carmine’s advice, guidance and his team’s work. Andrew and Carmine would make sure that not a day went by where one of them were not on the job site, with that being said their staff were hard working and pleasant thru the entire process. The amount of compliments we receive, a year after the project was completed is a compliment to the detailed work. We will not use any other company for future projects in which Designs by Longo can complete. I added some before and after pictures.

Highly recommend Carmine + the entire Designs by Longo crew. We hired them for a single to double driveway expansion and step-up porch and ended up having them redo our backyard while they were at it. Top notch quality work....we get constant complements from people driving by...worth the investment!

I have to say that my experience dealing with Carmine ,and Andrew, and their crew of installers was great. From the very beginning, we dealt with Carmine, who not only understood exactly what we wanted, and proceeded to show us every part of the process, including picking out the exact stones we would get installed, not from a glossy catalogue, but in person at the landscape supply. He went above and beyond ,giving us the driveway of our dreams, and the envy of the neighborhood. we told him we wanted a unique design ,not like any other, and he far exceeded our expectations! His crew was prompt, courteous ,and neat. Our driveway was done very quickly, from demo of the old driveway to the new install. I tend to be a perfectionist ,but i cant find a single complaint with these guys! If you want the yard or driveway dreams are made of ,contact this company and you will not be disappointed.

Longos did an amazing job on our backyard renovation. Carmine and Andrew were very easy to work with. Extremely professional.

We worked with Carmine to re-do our front porch, new walkway and a new driveway. Everything came out better than expected! The crew showed up when they said they would, and the project was done as expected. We loved our finished project so much we referred Designs by Longo to my mom, who wanted an entire backyard re-do. She and any one who over to our home, raved how great it looked. We’re saving up for our backyard to be re-done soon.

We had the most wonderful experience with Designs by Longo! Carmine was fantastic to work with and had amazing ideas to transform our backyard. We couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!

Love this company and their work! Very professional, showed up for the job prepared and worked efficiently. We’ve received so many compliments on our patio and we’ve barely broken it in. Thank you Designs by Longo!

My wife and I had a great experience with their entire staff. They all had a great attention for detail and would highly recommend them.

Excellent experience working with Longo on phase 1 of our backyard redesign. Carmine and his team are super responsive and reliable, and the design and execution really brought to life our vision. Highly recommend.

It was a fantastic experience working with Carmine and Andrew. From start to finish Carmine was prompt, clear, easy-to-reach and easy to talk to. We love how our retaining wall, patio and steps came out! THANK YOU so much!!!!!!

I have used Designs by Longo for multiple projects, and have been extremely pleased by the outcome each time. My latest project was redoing my patio- Carmine and Andrew came in and made my vision a plan and it came out perfect. Can’t recommend them enough.

Had a great experience with designs by longo. Carmine and Andrew were both extremely hands on and able to be reached anytime I needed them. They took our backyard patio from a small & bland traditional patio to an awesome entertaining area. A full service operation who handled the patio, tree removal, electric, landscaping, tree removal, etc. I’ve had them back multiple times for other smaller jobs since my patio was completed as well Highly recommended by my wife and I

We highly recommend Designs by Longo as they did a fantastic job on our new paver patio at a reasonable price. Andrew and Carmine were a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

We had the pleasure of working with Carmine at Designs By Longo! They were exceptional and really transformed both the front and back of our house into something truly beautiful. From the very beginning Carmine was fantastic, he was patient and most importantly not pushy at all. He wowed us with a detailed 3D rendering that gave us a clear vision of what the final outcome would be. Throughout the project, Designs By Longo’s commitment to consistent quality was evident in every aspect of their work. The hard-working crew they brought on board was not only skilled but also incredibly diligent. They maintained a tidy workspace at the end of each day, which we greatly appreciated. The team's friendly and respectful demeanor made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. What truly set Carmine and his company apart was their unwavering integrity. They always followed through on their promises, ensuring that our project stayed on track and exceeded our expectations. The remarkable results speak for themselves, and we've been receiving compliments from friends, and neighbors ever since the project was completed. Carmine did not just make this project hassle-free, but truly enjoyable, thanks to their open communication and willingness to understand our needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Designs By Longo for anyone seeking trustworthy top-tier craftsmanship, professionalism, and an overall fantastic experience. Their dedication to turning our vision into reality has left us with a home that we are proud to show off. Thank you for the outstanding work!"
