We were very happy working with Solid Rock! They did an amazing job from beginning to finish. They showed up when they said they would and the estimate was spot on. Chris designed exactly what we wanted, the crew was clean and courteous and we are in love with our water feature! We highly recommend them and will definitely use Solid Rock for any future landscaping.
