Weekend projects often spin out of control and require a quick response to be nimble and change the plans a little bit. So, when sod was in short supply (it's December), making a change to add some hardscape was something that had to be done. KRC Rock was in the right place at the right time. I opted for the medium sized Arizona river rock and once set on the ground, it was the perfect compliment to the little bit of sod that I was able to track down. The pricing is great, the office staff is super cool, and while I never want to buy rock again, I'll go nowhere else. Hell, I wouldn't even know where to begin so therefore KRC has my biz... if needed. read more

The rocks I got were cheap (price by weight). Apart from this, Yelp is asking me for eighty-five characters to make this review. You should change this requirement Yelp. Thanks! read more

If you're in San diego, especially if you're in East County, every One of our neighbors gets their rock from krc .. For all of their succulent gardens, creeks / retaining wall projects, everything.. my neighbor Ethan just had a $4000 retaining wall put in ..all of the stone supplied by KRC I don't see any competitor that would even be worthwhile... So that makes his review pretty simple, buy at KRC rock read more

Inconsiderate workers and manager could care less about there neighbors they could put up dust barriers but no they just blanket everyone vehicle with dirt every day to the complex behind them Great neighbors. Still the same nothing but a dirt cloud covering everyone's cars cause they could care less next report will be to the county read more

These guys are always top notch in my book. We have used them maybe five or six times, getting all kinds of rock for our yard, ranging from lava rock to other filler Rock Super helpful guys and help you decide how much you need. Do yourself a favor and think before getting rock, show up with a truck. Don't show up in a car and have them load rock into your car read more

I will definitely be back again! read more

"LITTLE BROTHER" ROCK YARD WITH TOP-QUALITY SERVICE OUTSHINES FAMOUS COMPETITOR. 12 years ago KRC installed boulders at our house in El Cajon. At that time, I comparison-shopped and found KRC to be more reasonably priced with better customer service than the "big brother" competitor nearby. This week, I was looking for landscape boulders for a house in North Park. Just to be fair, I tried out KRC's competitor first. I'm really sorry I bored the guy behind the counter so much. If he was any less motivated, I might have mistaken him for a potted plant. So I headed five minutes east to KRC. I got a price sheet right away and was directed to the boulder piles. Sherry pointed out some great-looking honey quartz boulders. I bought two. Josh skillfully separated them out from the herd and took them to the scale. For under $500, I got 1500 lbs of rock, plus delivery and installation. And -- KRC has Bart. He's the crane operator who will set your boulders in place like putting the cherry on top of a vanilla sundae. Funny guy, but serious when it comes to his craft. You might want to take out a lawn chair and enjoy the show because what you will see is a master at work. read more

Considering the fact that we are in a dramatic drought here in California... My sod grass has died... and now my property is dramatically and sadly covered in dirt....like a desert wasteland..... So what is a Southern California girl to do? Like most people is Southern California... They go fake! Fake boobs... Fake palm trees, fake personalities and sadly now.... fake grass! Right now I have purchased more rocks for my yard than Liberace has diamonds.... You know what I like about KRC, that they are consistently nice and helpful whether you are buying just one bag of rocks or a huge pallet order. The yard displays here stir up my creativity for landscaping and ignite my ADHD into a whirlwind! The friendly staff member was sweating bricks while loading up my purchases! Because hey Man.... It's hot out here in East County!!! KRC "ROCKS" mannnnn! read more

We were looking for some very specific rocks for a project we were working on and when we vaguely described what we were looking for, they brought out the perfect samples! We left with exactly with we needed, feeling well cared for. read more

I first used KRC about 7 years ago when we did a very big landscaping project on our large corner lot. I remembered that the service, help, and pricing was really good. So for this current project, I came back, and am happy I did. This is just a small project, but the staff (Steve, Mark, three younger helpers) were all very helpful and accommodating. I had done research ahead of time about quantity and types of materials that would be best. Steve was very helpful, suggesting I first bring home some samples to see how the different colors looked alongside my current xeriscape. He then suggested I start with less than I thought I'd need to avoid too much waste. This worked out really well, saving me lots of cash, as well as the hassle of storing unneeded material. read more

We went to three or four different places to find the rock, decomposed granite and broken flagstone that we wanted... The prices and selections at KRC are absolutely the best! And the staff is wonderful... Cristine it was an immense help to me to help me figure out how to budget the money I had with what I wanted... I've been back three times and I just adore her! She has made it such an easy thing and I really appreciate it. We had two deliveries and they have been seamless. Their prices are the best in town! read more

Excellent customer service! They tolerated all of my indecisiveness with patience and helped me to make the right choice. I found their selection of rocks and boulders to be much better than other places that we visited in the area. Delivery was fast and very reasonable. So happy with KRC! We'll definitely be back. read more

KRC always has what I need and the sales reps and the yard guys and gals are always friendly and helpful! Awesome displays too especially in San Marcos! read more

So, I popped into the Lakeside location one day and told the staff that I have some flagstone that needs to be sealed and would like to use a color enhancing product. To which they directed me to the glaze-n-seal wet look product. I asked them if it would be slippery as there appeared to be a glossy coating? Both the gentleman that was outside and behind the counter said, "no, and recommended the product." I took the product home, put it in a 1-gallon garden sprayer and proceeded to spray a thin coat on all the flagstone in my front yard and around the edge of the swimming pool. It dried by the next day and looked fantastic. *The only problem is if anyone steps on it when it is wet, they are bound to slip, fall, and break their neck. You can imagine that this is a huge liability issue as well as danger for the children playing around the pool. Naturally, I called up glaze-n-seal in Irvine California and spoke with their technical support. Unfortunately, the staff stated that I had to do a few things to fix the problem. #1 was to purchase a heavy-duty stripping product to strip the sealant off, which would cost more money, and be very labor intensive. Not to mention the heavy-duty chemicals in or near the swimming pool. #2 was to go by another gallon of the product, along with something called Grip -n-seal with the hopes that it would combine and add a little texture to reduce slippage. ARGH@#%#$% Doc read more

Staff gets 5 stars for friendly and helpful. But, their business practises get a 2. They have perfected the art of increasing their profit by charging you small ridiculous fees. I purchased 3 large rocks (i.e 24"x 30") and 2 yards of small rock. I had it all delivered (costly $145) and then was charged $15 for their use of a heavy metal bin to put the large rocks in. When you pay a deposit ($25 for 1 yd rock bags and $15 fora pallet) you only get $20/$11 back when you return them. This is like being charged for plates in a restaurant. Their prices as others have mentioned are a premium. These extra costs should already be in their prices. Check around and compare prices before you buy at KRC. read more

We started a project that needed flagstone to match what was already in place. I searched yards from lakeside to fallbrook without success until finally looking at KRC in San Marcos. one of the fellows in the yard helped identify the samples we brought with us and apologetically let us know that the San Marcos yard did not have any in stock at the moment, the last pallet leaving about 2 weeks prior. the staff at the front desk checked their system and found a pallet at the Lakeside yard. the fellows at the Lakeside yard helped us identify the pallet of stone we needed and assisted us pull what our contractor said we needed to complete the project at the house. unlike the competitor with the alphabet name that gave us a price sheet and pointed us out to the yard without further help, the folks at KRC are the absolute best looking into what our search criteria were, helping us find what we needed and getting the precise selection of stone to make the bride happy. Much thanks to the good people at KRC San Marcos and Lakeside for the assist. read more

I used KRC recently and had a great experience. They had a huge selection friendly staff and competitive pricing. I will use them on future jobs for sure. read more

I would like to give Sean a huge shoutout and the whole team at KRC for their OUTSTANDING support and customer service. Sean was extremely patient and supportive during my visit. He made certain I was completely satisfied and that I had what I needed to complete my job. After ringing me up he even came outside (in the pouring rain) to help fill several bags I needed. I couldn't ask for better service, I'll refer everyone I know to this location! Highly recommended!! read more

Rock on!!!! We couldn't be any happier with our experience. We're landscaping our hillside and came to price out some boulders. We ended up having a great time learning about the different types of rocks. We picked out some beauties. Steve was super helpful in helping us decide on the size, dimensions, and type of rocks. He is very knowledgable on all things rock. He was also amazingly adept at maneuvering the heavy equipment to grab just the rock we wanted and was so helpful even power washing a few of the boulders so we could see their colors. When the rocks were delivered, the driver perfectly placed them for maximum visual effect and expertly anchored them to the hillside. Very impressed with how easily he was able to manipulate the crane. We felt we got a fair price and overall very pleased. Highly recommend. read more

I walked into KRC Rock in Lakeside today shopping for seven tons of stone and field boulders. I was greeted by a young man named Dylan who was helpful and enthusiastic. He took time and asked questions to help me make my selections. I was in and out in less than thirty minutes. My experience today was in stark contrast to the general disinterest I've found in shopping for stone recently (including unfortunately KRC's massive San Marcos yard where they could really use some training from their Lakeside employees!) I highly recommend KRC Lakeside - Beautiful stone selection, nice people with GREAT customer service attitudes. They are solid, ya know, like a ROCK! read more

Great selection, reasonable prices, and home owner friendly. They stock the bark rock or rock mulch or whatever that rock is that looks like bark is called and a few things that RCP Southwest Boulder and Stone and others don't have. Lakeside location is convenient if you're in East County and don't want to make the trek up to North County down to South Bay or up to Alpine. read more

I have been coming to KRC for many years and have found their customer service to be superb. Steve, in Poway, is especially knowledgeable and helpful. He always goes the extra mile to answer any questions that I have and to make things right. read more

KRC Rock in Lakeside, CA provides a variety of landscaping stone and materials. The staff is friendly and helpful. I went to KRC looking for decomposed granite and was hoping it would be easy to get what I needed, but not knowing what to expect. They had a good assortment of the product with fair prices. They politely answered my most basic questions and even offered basic installation advice. read more

I have used KRC Rock on many occasions and they are ALWAYS helpful and even if I go in with a rough sketch of my needs they have helped me with measurements and quantities and I must say I always have very little waste left. The selection of materials is FANTASTIC. They have great prices and the delivery was great, flatbed truck equipped with its own loader and they drove up my driveway and set the palettes behind my gate. It was FAR from the street and not and questions asked. I will continue to use these guys and support them for a well earned. High 5 ! read more

Suppose to take delivery of 20 yards of DG today between 10 am and 2 pm. No show. No phone call. I called at 1:30 pm and told they would get back to me. Hour later I'm told truck had problems and dispatch didn't tell them. Only option was to reschedule tomorrow again between 10 am - 2 pm. Missed day of work. Not cool. read more

It's been a couple years later and I am doing another project on the house. My experience is very different this time. Two morning deliveries turned into 3PM - the whole time I'm waiting around the house in case they came. The driver also loaded my large 1000# boulders in the box wrong so when he tipped them out into my driveway from the forklift, they fell several feet on top of the other boulders in the box... breaking a major chunk off. That boulder was specifically picked out as a focal point in the yard due to its unique shape. I was able to more or less piece it back together, but the damage is done - the cracks are very visible. On the other delivery, the driver drove the forklift over my concrete pavers leading to the front door and broke them.... I know he was able to avoid them because the first two bags he stayed 100% on the driveway. The third bag he ended up getting sloppy and drove over everything. I also have a bit of a problem with how they label their material. Some of the cobble I ordered is bigger than the description. 1-2" seems like the smallest diameter. Maybe I should know better, or maybe the description just isn't very accurate to begin with. I will say that Scott, the manager, did offer to make things right. He, along with the rest of the staff, are friendly and helpful. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful................. Nice selection on bigger 24-36" plus, but be prepared to pay a premium!

Visited the woodside yard to look for a match to what gravel we already have and came across this guy on a phone /walkie talking, talking rude about the help , big turn off ! No good afternoon " can I help you? " We thought there has to be another place to buy gravel .We found several other places near by super friendly, see ya...do your homework.......... (Tried to give zero stars) read more

Walked around the place twice while someone promised to help. Eventually went to the office and just asked for a pricing list because nothing is priced. They said they didn't have a pricing list. With no prices how r we suppose to buy anything. read more

KRC Rocks is a terrific company! Super helpful and friendly. Ricardo even went so far as to rebag my entire order into bags easier for me to lift. How cool is that? The entire crew was terrific and the prices super reasonable. Love this company! read more

KRC Rock staff was very friendly at the yard, and the rock delivery was on time and courteous. The driver Bart suggested putting down retaining boards on our sloped driveway to prevent the rocks from running away from us when he unloaded. That helped us from having to do a lot of cleanup later. read more

Good choice of rock, gravel, D.G. and top soil. The staff are very helpful and helped us choose the best options for our project. They have sample bind near the office so you don't have to walk all over the yard and pricing is clearly labeled. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to get rocks for landscaping . I needed a few large for landscaping and was able to find the rocks here. read more

Good service. Initially there was a minor issue but the manager got involved it fixed the issue. The fact that they stand behind their product and service is commendable. Thank KRC for the outstanding customer support. read more

My company has been doing business here for over 30 years (Back when it was called Jurgies) This is by far the best crew they've ever had. The manager, Maverick, is extremely friendly, gives great pricing, and is able to complete even the biggest orders on short notice. The quality of the material is always beyond satisfactory and you can expect few delays when getting loaded at the yard. Their pricing is better than Alpine R&B and RCP, other local supply yards. Expect the best service, from a very friendly and helpful staff, every time. read more
