Aztec Stone Design Brick Paving

Had a great experience working with Aztec to lay our new paver patio! Would use them again and recommend to friends!

We recently hired Aztec to install a paver patio in our backyard, replace our concrete front steps, and install pavers in the front walkway. From the very beginning, Edgar (the owner) was very accessible and prompt. His estimate came in lower than the other estimate we got from a landscaping company. Both companies received great reviews on Unilocal.I liked the fact that Aztec focuses almost exclusively on stonework and concrete. They also offered a 5 year warranty on labor and a lifetime warranty on materials (Unilock pavers). The other company only offered a 2 year warranty on labor. Edgar gave me the addresses of multiple houses in the area who had installed similar patios/​driveways. I visited these homes and was able to see the quality of their work. It also made it a lot easier to choose the right color combination for my home. Once I signed on for the project, I was already very confident that Aztec would do an excellent job on the patio.
Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed. Edgar kept in contact with me up until the day that the project started. He was onsite at least once a day, checking up on the work and answering any questions I had. He listened to my concerns and made sure that the finished product met my expectations. Marco, the crew chief assigned to our job, was extremely hardworking and conscientious. They encountered an issue while demoing the front steps and he went out of his way to insure that the new steps would be both beautiful and structurally sound. In the end, the patio, front steps, and walkway are exactly what I envisioned. We have received compliments from friends, visitors, and neighbors. After seeing Aztec’s work, my friend now has plans to hire them to install pavers in his backyard! Choosing Aztec is as close to a sure thing as it gets. Edgar depends on his past jobs and reputation. He truly wants you to be satisfied with the work that Aztec performs. If you are considering a paver patio, driveway, or any other type of stonework, I would wholeheartedly recommend Aztec Stone Design!

Edgar and his crew really went above and beyond. They installed a fire pit, seat wall, BBQ center, replaced the driveway and installed a basketball hoop with apron. My driveway went from the ugliest in the block to the one everyone wants. Some of my neighbors have used other contractors and the product and work does not last after our brutal winters, Aztecs does. Highly recommend him on any short list of contractors for brick, stone or hardscape transformation.

They put in my back patio in 2008. Workmanship was excellent and they left my yard in great shape. The patio looks fabulous four years later. There price was reasonable as well.

We used Aztec in 2003 when we did our patio in Chicago. We were happy with them there and called them again when we moved to Lake Zurich. We were pleasantly surprised when they came out that far. They did a great job on our patio, were very clean and professional and their price was fair. Would do it again.

The need to do something with our back yard became absolute this spring. Our grass, a particularly lush and resilient strain imported from Japan by the previous owners, to prevent doggie damage was utterly resistant to our push mower, and had grown to the point that not only was our very kind neighbor unwilling to come over and use his electric mower on it, but there were sightings of tigers moving through it at twilight. We knew we had rabbits, we feared we were giving the local rats a lovely hiding place, too.
We got a referral for one company that had done an excellent job for a friend, and the owner came out, talked nice for about fifteen minutes and then disappeared forever. It’s been close to a month and I still haven’t gotten the promised estimate from him, and his attitude when he spoke to my general contractor left something to be desired, basically saying that he couldn’t do the work before late August at the earliest so maybe we should just hire someone else.
So my contractor referred another company, and again I went out and explained the plans to the owner who produced an estimate before he left my property! It was a little higher than I’d hoped, but he explained that the stone I’d chosen was the premium stuff, and as I wasn’t willing to give that up, I okayed it. They started work the following week (the weather held up the project,) and by Monday it was finished! Done in two weeks instead of the who-​knows-​how-​long it might’ve taken me with the other company.
And I have to tell you, they did a fantastic job. The stone is gorgeous, their work is excellent and my patio looks like a dream! (I’ll be uploading photos soon.) The workers were here when they were supposed to be, worked hard all day, and were polite and friendly. There was a slight mix-​up about the raised bed which caused me to scale back my plans a bit, but in the end, the owner didn’t like the way it looked and enlarged it for no extra cost. That’s the kind of attention to detail and customer service that wins loyalty. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Aztec again or to recommend it very highly to anyone who was looking for great stone work.

Great company, great supervisor (Eddie). They’ve done work for us a few times and they are the consummate professionals. We’ve never been disappointed!

We have wanted to have our back yard patio redone and expanded for four years, but were having a hard time finding the right company to make it happen. Then we went to a friend of a friends house for Memorial Day and asked who did theirs. They suggested Aztec and we made the call a week later. Now I am sitting on my AMAZING BEAUTIFUL new Uniblock patio. It’s gorgeous. It was reasonably priced and professionally installed.
The thing I loved the most was that while they obviously do much bigger, much fancier and much more expensive projects they treated our modest patio just as they would some palace in the suburbs. They took extra care with the design and did this fantastic thing around a built in sewer cap in the yard.
It is even better than I hoped! Now I am hooked. Next spring I want them to take out the rest of the cement sidewalk and replace it with the Holland Stone. I’m hooked on Aztec Stone Design!
