A Backyard Transformation by Rock Solid Landscape…read more From our very first conversations, Jeff approached the project with a rare combination of vision, creativity, and care. He took the time to truly understand what we were trying to create and made it even better. With the help of his designer, he provided a detailed visual rendering that allowed us to see what was possible before construction even began. Beyond the aesthetic transformation, Rock Solid Landscaping brought expertise that solved real, long-standing challenges. They completely addressed our severe drainage issues in both the front and back yards, protecting our home and creating peace of mind. Throughout the entire process, their professionalism was unwavering. The team showed up every day on time with consistency, discipline, and respect for our space, always leaving things clean and organized at the end of each day. But what truly stood out was their spirit. They were positive, kind, and cheerful in their work, and they worked very hard. Even during adjustments or changes, we were met with patience and openness. It never felt stressful; it felt like we were supported every step of the way. Jeff remained closely involved throughout the entire project, maintaining constant communication and showing up regularly, often multiple times a week to ensure everything was progressing as planned, to address questions and make sure we were happy with the progress. Jeff is not just an exceptional professional, he is an exceptional human being. He leads with integrity, kindness, and heart. He understands that what he builds isn't just landscape, it's part of people's lives, their memories, their joy. We are beyond grateful to Jeff and the entire Rock Solid Landscaping team for creating something so special. If you are looking for a company that excels in custom landscaping, outdoor living design, water features, patios, drainage solutions, and complete yard transformations, this is the team you want. They didn't just exceed our expectations, they created something magical. THANK YOU Jeff!!!

We live in a community that the HOA has strict requirements and a permit is required for all work…read more I contacted 3 qualified landscaping companies. Requested bids and designs to remove all the grass in the backyard, install sitting walls around trees with flag stone steps and zero scape setting. The rabbits and voles wreaked havoc in our backyard. We've had to replace our lawn twice. Jeff with Rock Solid Landscaping responded. We agreed to meet and walk the yard. We wanted 3 mounds with larger rocks around with native plants. The crew started everyday at 7am and worked until 4pm. They were always on time and worked a full day. This job was completed in 2 weeks. They delivered a porta potty, bobcat in front of our home. They put cones for safety. They are very organized, when dirt, rocks were delivered they moved to backyard. Then they swept the street and/or driveway to keep clean. Our neighbors complemented on the nice job of keeping street clean. Juan Carlos and his 2 workers were very well organized. They always cleaned up at the end of the day. I asked for a few Day Lillie's be transplanted back into the area. They installed a new drip system with an extension for me to plant my small veggie garden. We are very pleased with the entire process, price and worked they did. We highly recommend Rock Solid Landscaping.

Terrible decision I made using these guys. My job was over $30k and most of that was sod installed…read morein the backyard of my new home. They dug trenches for the irrigation but left hundreds of large rocks in the dirt and then laid sod right on top of that. They told me, "Don't worry, soon the grass will grow right over the rocks - no big deal. Give it a year or two. That was 3 years ago, and my yard is disgusting. I can't mow it as the wheels of the lawnmower drop down into the depressions where there are large rocks all around them. As you walk in the grass, there are pits and rocks that you can feel under your feet. Half of the sod has now died, even tho I spent hundreds every month over the summers on water and fertilizer. It makes me sick to even go into my backyard. I have asked the owner to come look at my yard and talk to me, and no replies - ever. He knows he did a cheap crappy job and now he just wants to hide from me. Stay away from this 'company'.

Creative Gardens Staff provided excellent service and great advice for my project. I recently…read morepurchased the three basalt stone kit, which included the basin, pump, and stones, and I also bought an additional basin and pump to rebuild some bubbling rocks in my backyard that had stopped working and collapsed. All was very reasonably priced! I was able to complete everything myself over the weekend, and both water features turned out awesome. Amanda's recommendations were extremely helpful, and the whole process went smoothly. I really appreciated the knowledgeable service and support, and I'm very happy with how everything looks. It was a great DIY project and the finished results look amazing in my backyard. Highly recommend, you should check it out!

When I set out in this backyard adventure, I had 12 different bids. We live in Spanish Springs…read more(Sparks). We narrowed the 12 to a final few. One of those was Creative Gardens. Creative Gardens has an actual retail store in Sparks so you can always find them. We dealt with the owner, CJ, who was very knowledgeable on designing a backyard. He listened to what we wanted and then produced a virtual reality model of it on a large screen right there in the office. He had the ability to make real time changes as we requested them. This is a family operated business with CJ being the 3rd generation owner. His mom is the office manager and his sister runs the retail operations of the store. From the minute we walked in the door, they put us at ease and made us feel very welcome. The fact that they could make real world changes on the computer sold us on going with them. It was that and how well they treated us from the moment we walked into the business. During the build we had multiple changes and additions. The field supervisor, Jeff, is awesome to work with and doesn't know the word "no". He always says "we can do that". Their work crews were also great. Their crew leader, Cruz, can build just about anything and runs a tight ship. We really couldn't be happier with our backyard and the relationships we built with the Creative Garden staff. They have our full support and recommendation for their work. Oh and they are priced very reasonably.

I can't stop recommending Longhorn to anyone who will listen to me…read more I started my backyard remodel project with a general idea of what I wanted to accomplish - we needed to level the yard, replace and extend a caved in patio, build a retaining wall, remove rock and dirt and replace it with grass, and build benches around trees. Like most people do with major projects, I had a few companies come out to discuss and provide quotes. I was generally underwhelmed and started to think about delaying the project until we met Alfredo. Not only did he listen to my ideas and talk about how to accomplish them, but he came up with additional ideas that were even better suited to our ultimate goal of a family-friendly yard. And then he patiently explained material options so we could make a project that fit within our budget. When it was time to start construction, Tito led an amazing team. They were incredibly professional, and so accommodating to my requests for project tweaks and attention to small details. I really feel like we were given the all-star team. They took their time, and did beautiful work. My small family now has an incredible backyard to grow and play in. I'm so glad we didn't rush this project, and I can't thank Alfredo and his team enough.

Keith and his crew went above and beyond with our new home in Silver Canyon…read more They installed artificial turf, pavers and three kinds of rock in our backyard. He also ran a gas line to the backyard for a bbq. And poured concrete along the house.

He came back 2 more times to talk with my husband and to clarify what we wanted done for our backyard/partial front yard transformation. I was so impressed with Paul that we accepted his proposal without submitted any other project bids. I made the right decision. Working off of a home drawn plan not done to scale wasn't an issue. Paul, Keith as well as foreman Eddie have vision that exceeded ours at every turn. We are half way through our project and will have First Class come back in the spring to renovate the front yard. This business exceeds all expectations and delivers with style!!! Call Gabby! She is wonderful as well!!!

If you are looking to hire criminals, or just like throwing money away, FireSky is for you. I…read morecontacted them on the advice of a friend. My initial meeting with them took about an hour, where we discussed all phases of my desired landscape. I asked about cost and was told that the design fee is $1000, and the landscape should cost about $60,000. I told them that my budget was $75,000, with $10,000 of that being to have a large tree removed, leaving $65,000. The designer came out and charged me $1500??? After a couple months and 2 revisions to the plan, I was presented with a design that I liked. 3 weeks later I got the estimate. There were three significant items on the plan that were not on the estimate, meaning that the estimate would go up substantially. The estimate was for $179,000!!! All that FireSky did for me was to steal $1500 from me for a design that can not be used. I am considering legal action to get my money back.

We recently hired Landscaper FireSky Outdoor to build a cascading waterfall. Their quote was much…read morehigher than others, but they could start right away, so we went with them. The waterfall looks nice overall, but a couple of things are disappointing. The black hoses from the pumps are connected with bright white fittings, which really stand out in the pond and don't blend in. Secondly we actually saw them drop a boulder on our concrete patio walkway, leaving a crack from edge to edge. When we brought it up to the salesman's attention, he said the crack was already there - even though both he and the foreman had checked the area before work started and it was fine. He said he'd get back to us, but it's been over a week with no follow-up. They did however, cash our final payment right away. Just wanted to share our experience so that other neighbors know what they could expect. For the price we paid, we were hoping for better attention to details and accountability. SK

From day one, the crew was professional, respectful, and detail-oriented. They consistently kept the job site clean and organized, and something we truly appreciated was that they always made sure the gate was secured at the end of each day. That level of care and accountability doesn't go unnoticed. The transformation of our front and backyard is incredible. What started as a blank canvas is now a pristine, well-designed outdoor space that already feels like an oasis. The quality of their workmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail shows in every corner. Equally impressive was the communication and support from the office. The team brought great ideas to the table, collaborated with us throughout the process, and made everything feel seamless. This was just phase one of a larger vision, and we're genuinely excited to continue working with Santiago Landscaping on the next phases. If you're looking for a team that delivers quality, professionalism, and creativity, this is it. Highly recommend.
