Mark and his team at Moosewood are absolutely fantastic!! We were so lucky to have found Mark to help us with our significant damage from Hurricane Helene. He replaced a large damaged block retaining wall and stairs with a tiered and landscaped natural stone wall, repaired and improved our washed out driveway, fixed broken stairs, kids treehouse and so much more. I couldn’t be more pleased with his ideas, process, communication, and end result. Mark is a true gem of a find for anyone needing hardscape / landscape projects in the high country. I would be glad to be a reference for Mark for anyone considering his services.
We are so lucky we found Mark! After purchasing our home, we needed a French drain to address moisture issues. During this process, we discovered significant amounts of rot under the vinyl siding. The extent of the project eventually encompassed siding, insulation, roofing, foundation repair, window replacement, and front entryway rebuilding. With Mark's expertise, we are now in a dry, safe, rot-free, great looking home! He does what he says he will do and always has the homeowner's comfort and safety in mind. He is a delight to work with!
Mark and his team at Moosewood did an outstanding job for us. Not only did they finish the work grading our driveway and drainage repair as scheduled, but also on budget. There was minimal disruption and they kept us informed the whole way. The finished job looks great!
