Torrison Stone & Garden

4.4(118)✓ Google-verified

Homeowners consistently praise Torrison's stone and garden work for precision and professionalism. Walkways, patios, fireplaces, and walls earn particular mention for craftsmanship; project managers like Dominick and Glenn keep clients informed and respond quickly. Cost overruns and delayed quotes on smaller repair jobs have frustrated some, though most multi-project customers remain loyal. The business claims 25 years in operation and serves eight towns across central Connecticut. Their in-house team handles design, installation, and garden maintenance. Recent reviews (last two months) focus on garden cleanup and customer service responsiveness, with older projects highlighting stone work quality and detailed site coordination.
