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.

Shout out to Leonel, Priscilliano, Alonso, and Miguel who worked tirelessly in hot, summer conditions to finish our job. We could not be happier with our choice to go with DRC!

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.

I am writing this to warn other homeowners- specifically pet owners- about the lack of professional…read moreexpertise and accountability at Sierra Nevada Landscapes, and Jeremy Michaud the owner. Since 2018, I have spent nearly $90,000 with this company, including a recent $13,000 project in 2025 to completely rip out and reinstall a twice failed pet turf area, only to be left with the same unusable, foul-smelling yard. The core of the issue is a fundamental lack of industry knowledge regarding pet-friendly artificial turf installation leading to persistent urine odors. When original turf became matted and flat, Jeremy's solution was to add more silica sand.I have since learned from multiple other professionals that silica sand is the primary material you NEVER USE for pet turf, as it's porous and permanently traps odors. Even during the complete 2025 reinstallation-which involved ripping out 10 inches of base layer- Jeremy still used silica sand. Predictably, the odor returned and was worse than before. While Jeremy offered to redo the yard a fourth time, I could not trust a "professional" who repeatedly used wrong materials after seven years of documented failures. Despite the massive amount of money spent, he has refused to offer any form of cash refund. I am now forced to pay a new contractor to fix his mistakes. If you want a functional, sanitary yard, do not trust this company. Their "expertise" is severely lacking, their communication is spotty and they do not stand behind their work with financial accountability.

One of his guys made several cuts into a dark border paver which is very noticeable. I asked him to come out and replace it but he never did. The biggest thing though and this is huge is he did not put a regulator in the drip system that he installed. The house pressure is 65psi which is over twice max pressure for drip irrigation. I am regularly having to repair the system as lines are popping off or splitting. this season I will be forced to tear up his work in order to put a regulator before his valves, not pleased.

I'm a property manager writing this for a tenant what wishes to be anonymous. They hired Cory's…read morefor some yard help late last summer when the tenant had some health issues that physically impacted them and they fell behind on yard upkeep. On that initial visit, Cory's sent 4-5 people and they did a good job. They pulled the overgrown weeds, raked up, got the yard tidy & cleaned up. Fast forward to this spring, Cory's sent 2 people, they didn't pull ANYTHING, just sprayed weed killer - even on the emerging daffodil & tiger lillies which are now dead. So they're left with a yard of dried, dying weeds and debris for the same rate as their prior visit. So, they put their best foot forward initially then barely phoned it in for the follow up. Of course, my tenants aren't willing to continue with them but are still left with a messy yard they paid to have weeded and cleaned.

We recently hired Afuera Outdoor Living for our backyard project, and they were absolutely…read moreincredible to work with. Before finding them, we were getting bids from other companies and felt completely confused and uncertain. Most offered no design support, just a quick walk-through and an a-la-carte bid with no real direction. It felt disorganized and left us feeling stuck. My husband wanted a VersaCourt sport court, so he reached out through their website and was connected with Afuera, the preferred installer in our area. I had seen Afuera's work on social media but assumed they were out of our price range. From the moment we met George and Jamie, we knew we had found the right team. They had a clear vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, explained the process, timeline, and payment structure, and walked us through their impressive portfolio. As a business professional myself, I really value exceptional customer service, and it was obvious from day one that Afuera delivers exactly that. Throughout the project, their team went above and beyond. When small issues came up, they proactively reached out with cost-effective solutions. They even contacted the company that installed our original pavers and coordinated warranty repairs, something they didn't have to do but chose to because they genuinely care about their clients and the final result. We've since hosted several events, and everyone is blown away by the space Afuera designed. I cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for a company that provides direction when you're unsure where to start or one that can bring your vision to life, Afuera Outdoor Living is the team you want.

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.

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.
