Our services include:
- Paver installation services for walkways and patios
- Outdoor stone features including steps and borders
- Decorative retaining walls for slope correction and style
- Custom patio construction matched to your home’s layout
- Stone walkway design for easy movement and visual flow
- Fire pit installation for warmth and entertaining
- Outdoor kitchen builders for full cooking zones
- Hardscape design planning with CAD layouts or sketches

We work with concrete pavers, flagstone, brick, natural stone, and other materials to build long-lasting features that feel intentional and refined.

CM L2025-07-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Kevin2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I can honestly say that Creative Minds Landscaping is hands down the BEST landscape company in CT. Christian and his crew are reliable, timely, friendly and professional! His prices are competitive and he provides a personal service whereas the big companies will not give you the care and attention to detail that he provides.

Sergio Celaj2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience I have had with Creative minds has been excellent. Their services are top notch and will definitely use the in the future Paul2024-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Please go to other companies. not this one John Saavedra2024-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avoid this business at all cost. As one of the reviewers said in one of the reviews which I agree and has experienced, Cristian Sanchez suddenly will not reply to your email or text messages. He will abandon customers just like that. Absolutely very unprofessional. He will sound very helpful at first when he is trying to sell his business but will abandon clients just like that when he thinks he already got what he wanted and moves on. Only thinking of himself and not his clients. I sent messages via email and text but he never replied to any after he got what he wanted. FYI I have masked my name for privacy reason and the business owner would say I was never in their list but I can assure you I had business with this company which should be avoided.
