Mark Goger Stone Work

Mark did a few projects to improve the functionality and visual impact around my house. He has great design sense and created a plan I was happy with. The quality of his work is very high - hes old school and takes great pride in his work. The end result looks fantastic and Im sure will last a very long time.

Mark is a visionary landscape designer with an intuitive sense of how to create a human-friendly space that looks and feels organic. His passion and enthusiasm for his work is contagious, and speaking to him levelled up my sense of possibilities for my own backyard!

We first encountered Mark's work when we saw him do our neighbour's patio next door: he created something singularly unique, perfectly fitted to the space. This summer, he did the same for us.

We back onto a ravine, and our backyard was totally undeveloped. We liked the forest feeling, but we wanted to make the space more useable. Mark managed to transform it into something beautiful and human-friendly. It looks and feels like it has just always been there.

If that's the kind of thing you're after, Mark is your guy.

We hired Mark Goger Stone Work to redesign and rebuild our front porch, retaining wall and walkway after getting estimates from several other companies. Mark visited our site, listened to our needs, then showed us how we could use natural stone to enhance the look of our property. He was without a doubt the most thorough of those who quoted.
Mark worked to an agreed schedule, priced fairly, and explained every part of the process. He and his team turned an uneven concrete porch and path beside a sloped drive into a beautiful flagstone landing with walkway.
We found Mark to be a creative, detailed tradesman who takes pride in quality work. He took the time to problem-solve with us and offered advice on how we could continue to beautify the landscaping on our own. We highly recommend Mark Goger Stone Work to anyone looking for a experienced eye and skills that bring beautiful results.

Mark Goger designed and built a patio path and stone planter for me in a hard to reach and difficult to access spot. How he actually got his materials to the area is something I still marvel at. I have a reverse backyard up a steep driveway and a two tired deck. All of which had to be travelled over for the stone to get to where it needed to be.
Mark took what was a wasteland at the end of the deck and transformed it into a place of light and space. He literally took what was the worst part of the garden and turned it into something you can't wait to be in.
I had asked Mark to work for me after seeing pictures of his work with flagstone and cobble. My own patio incorporates the use of cobble and it is a feature I treasure. I also asked him to work for me because of the reviews I read. It was clear that Mark had created something unique for his customers and his integrity and craftsmanship had genuinely moved them. I have now joined their company. Mark's work emerges out of a relationship both with the space he's given to work with, the land itself and you the customer. The result is something utterly creative and individual to you his customer.
If I'm totally honest Mark is one of those people you almost want to keep a secret and not share with anyone, except that is obviously neither fair or practical.
I must add that I also hugely benefitted from the work of his gardening associate Jeanette, who with her own flair created a garden for me around Marks work. The experience of working with Mark and Jeanette is not one I will soon forget and one I am already looking for an opportunity to repeat.
Thank you Mark and Jeanette. So very grateful

Mark and Ray did an incredible job on both my front and back patios. Mark had great suggestions with regards to colour and design of the flag stones. He and Ray both went above and beyond and were so pleasant to deal with. I have already recommended them to several friends and will do so in the future.

We would highly recommend Mark for any stonework needed. Mark took a simple approach to the design and had great ideas about possible solutions. The stone looked very natural and was a great addition to the front of our house.

Mark was meticulous and detailed about the planning and building of the steps. Everything fit nicely and came together really well.

We're extremely happy with the finished product!

Mark provided an extensive consultation to explore our vision for the backyard. He is absolutely detail oriented, complimented with a creative lens which resulted in an end product that exceeded our expectations. Mark installed a beautiful semi-circular patio, stone bench and walkway. The detail involved in some of the angles is remarkable. We are thrilled with the work and would certainly use Mark again.

Over the past 20 years we have hired Mark for numerous projects. He installed the exterior stone work for an addition to our family home, repaired our front and back porch and built a flagstone walkway and patio. Most recently he was instrumental in the design and execution of a basalt fountain, the highlight of the backyard. I consider Mark to be a master in stone, highly reliable and a pleasure to work with.

Mark's scope included new stone finish for our old concrete front stair, lifting and relaying interlocking pavers on our walkway, building a new retaining wall and connected steps in our backyard. Mark pre-ordered all required material, the work was started and completed as scheduled. Mark explained his proposed solution at each workphase to us in detail. The finished product looks excellent. Thanks Mark!

My partner and I worked with Mark to excavate and landscape our backyard in the summer of 2018. The previous summer we removed an old fence that effectively doubled the space of the yard. We needed the design and implementation of Mark's stonework to accommodate living, parking and utility spaces in a narrow downtown backyard. Mark was wonderful to work with. He had great ideas about design and materials while being very collaborative and accommodating of our ideas and needs for the space. He was very professional and efficient. He helped craft a solution that worked with our budget. He and his crew executed the design swiftly and effectively. We're so happy with our new back yard. I'd definitely hire Mark again to do work on other parts of our property.
