We could not be happier with Creative Minds Landscaping. Christian and his crew have truly transformed our property into a park. The pride they take in their work is evident in every detail, from their beautifully done mulching to the meticulous way they keep everything trimmed and maintained—they genuinely know what they’re doing. Over the past season especially, my husband and I have never seen such a dedicated and hardworking crew. They pay attention to every last detail, whether they’re helping move lawn furniture indoors for the season or shoveling our sidewalks through even the snowiest winters. Christian’s team consistently goes above and beyond to please, and we could not recommend anyone more highly. Thank you, Christian—and a special thank you to your truly wonderful crew.

We had large pool project for a difficult yard. We knew what we wanted and interviewed several contractors and designers but none seemed capable to handle it. Cristian came in with great ideas that would realize our plan. All the masonry and landscaping were done by Creative Minds Landscaping including the pool coping, patio tile, retaining walls, staircase, path, plantings, seeding, and mulch. The mason crew is incredibly skilled. They saw that we needed a wall at one end of the patio that wasn't part of the plan. Within two days, they'd found all the stones they needed on our property and created a beautiful wall. They were here every day and worked non-stop. Cristian planned the stone pathway, the lighting layout, the selection and placement of all plantings, and the tile & gravel patio extension. The project took six weeks and Cristian was always available to make sure that the job went smoothly. He was on site every morning setting the plan for the day. He'd update us each day on the progress and let us know in advance of any decisions that we'd need to make. Cristian and his team were a pleasure to work with on this project! We highly recommend them!

We are very happy with the service we received from Creative Minds. Cristian had originally quoted a retaining wall/patio for our pool project and we ended up going with another company. In hindsight, I kind of wish we did it all with him. At the time, I didn't realize his company also did fencing. Having a landscaper separate from the patio and fence installer was a little bit of a nightmare... Anyway, we called him back to handle landscaping after those things were done. He installed river rock in between and around our patios and installed sod in other areas. We had some hiccups and it definitely wasn't always perfect... but Cristian is so easy to deal with, and is so eager to make sure his clients are happy, that we made it through and ended up with a beautiful finished product. Once we have money again (if we ever do!), we will definitely have him do more work.

We recently had the great experience of working with Crisitan and his team on a complicated pool patio and water feature. He installed retaining walls pillars and was fantastic. His team was on site every day he was easily reachable and always accommodating on adds we had. His attention to detail and explanation of the process was excellent. I would strongly recommend him for any masonry or landscape work. We could not be more pleased with our results.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with an exceptional pool mason who transformed my pool dreams into a stunning reality. Chris' dedication to his craft and commitment to excellence left an indelible mark on my pool project. From the beginning, his team's skill and attention to detail were evident. Their craftsmanship was impeccable; every brick, stone, grout, and element of the pool design bore the mark of a true artisan. He consistently exceeded expectations by going above and beyond in every aspect of the project. Chris' creative thinking and problem-solving prowess set him apart. He masterminded a vision that surpassed my expectations. His innovative solutions transformed potential challenges into opportunities for unique design elements. His ability to blend artistic vision with practical execution is a testament to his remarkable expertise. Throughout the project, the Chris' dedication to perfection was mirrored by his team. They displayed utmost professionalism, treating both the project and my property with the utmost respect. Their politeness and courteous demeanor were a reflection of the mason's leadership and commitment to delivering a top-tier experience. The team maintained consistent cleanliness, leaving the work area in pristine condition each day, demonstrating a level of consideration that goes beyond the norm. It's a testament to their professionalism and the pride they take in their work. Thank you for not only constructing a pool but also creating a masterpiece that I will cherish for years to come. Your exceptional workmanship and dedication have turned my pool into a true work of art, and I am beyond grateful for the experience of working with you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks, Bryan

Why choose us?

Hardscaping and masonry

We build natural stone veneers, boulder borders, concrete pavers, and granite steps meant to handle heavy foot traffic and hold your soil in place.

Decks and structures

We install decks, custom timber pergolas, and covered pavilions anchored to solid footings sunk below the frost line, so they stand up to rain, sun, and snow.

Drainage done right

Regrading, French drains, and sub-surface pipe move water away from your home and foundation and dry up the muddy low spots in your yard.

One contract, one crew

We handle wood structures and stone work together, so you skip the hassle of coordinating separate subcontractors and get clean, aligned transitions.

Wide service area

From our New Milford base we serve communities across Fairfield, Litchfield, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester counties in Connecticut and New York.

Insured landscaper

We are an insured landscaping company, and we give you a clear timeline and a line-item estimate before the work begins so you know what to expect.

Location & hours

FAQs

What areas do you serve?
We are based in New Milford, Connecticut and work across Fairfield and Litchfield counties in Connecticut, plus Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester counties in New York. That includes towns like Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield, Ridgefield, Danbury, New Canaan, Bedford, Katonah, White Plains, Poughkeepsie, and many more.
How long does a full yard overhaul usually take?
It depends on the site work. A straightforward paver patio and fresh sod might take four to seven days. Heavy ledge removal, multi-tier retaining walls, a deck, or a masonry kitchen can run two to three weeks. Heavy spring rain can delay grading, because driving machinery on saturated soil ruins the ground. We give you a clear timeline up front and keep you posted if rain slows us down.
Do you handle both decks and masonry on the same job?
Yes. Handling wood structures and stone work under one contract saves you from coordinating separate subcontractors. We align post footings, patio edges, and steps during layout so your deck leads right onto your stone walk without awkward gaps or height mismatches.
Which stone handles Connecticut freeze-thaw best?
Natural bluestone, granite, and high-density concrete pavers hold up very well here. Soft, porous stone soaks up water in fall, then freezes, expands, and flakes apart. We stick to dense regional stone and non-porous pavers set over six to twelve inches of compacted crushed gravel.
How does the design phase actually work?
We start on site, walk the perimeter, and take elevation notes, then map a simple scale drawing of hardscape dimensions, structures, and planting beds. We bring material samples such as paver colors, stone veneer styles, and deck swatches, so you can see them against your home before deciding.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are an insured landscaping and outdoor construction company. We put together a clear line-item estimate before work begins so you know exactly what is included.
What is the best way to get a project quote?
Call (203) 490-7040 or email creativemindslandscapingllc@gmail.com. We ask a few quick questions, set up a time to walk your lot in person, and put together a clear line-item estimate. Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
