They had good referrals but on the bid itself I don’t really remember anything standing out. The guy who came out was pleasant and talked to me but it did not have a lot of details. Maybe I would use him again.

The job took about three and half weeks for completion. The work was great, they did really nice work. They did everything perfect. With stuff like this if you do it right it lasts forever, and they did. Overall just great work was done for me.
Description of Work: They demo the old patio, some walls, installed a rock patio, and put in a stepping stone path. Plus a fire pit.

Craig and John were excellent to work with from the very beginning and throughout both phases of our work. They are honest, reliable, and had a great vision for what our outdoor space could become. They worked through challenging elements and for each phase delivered the project on time and on budget. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to future work with them.
Description of Work: Design and complete renovation of our backyard. We had a 60 ft. patio with 2 curving walls, a pergola, deck, a water feature, and full landscaping of the backyard and front yard. The space was very difficult to design and implement, but Rock Solid Hardscaping created a fabulous outdoor space.

Description of Work: There were no services performed. I had contacted Rock Solid Hardscaping via their webpage to setup an appointment for an estimate for some hardscape work. I was hoping to have a walkway currently done with rocks replaced with pavers. I received a phone call quickly with an appointment setup for an estimate to be completed. However, when the contractor showed up to check out my project it had been sub-contracted out to Gibraltar Masonry. When the phone call was made to set up the appointment, no mention was made to the fact the work would be sub-contracted out. I would've been ok with this fact had it been made known. I had read another review where this had happened to someone else but I wanted to give this company an oppurtunity since most reviews were positive. The contractor that did show, Ryan Boynton, was very nice and explained the process of the project. Some of the reasons I did not hire Ryan and Gibraltar Masonry was the fact that I couldn't find any information on the company and their price was on the hire end.

Response from Rock Solid Hardscaping
We appreciate the member's feedback and would like to clarify a few points. Like most full service outdoor design/build firms, Rock Solid Hardscaping does utilize the services of "Associate Contractors". To remain competitive in todays marketplace, it is impossible to employ the numerous number of trades required to build complex outdoor projects. Therefore, we have hand selected some of the most reputable and quality oriented tradesmen in our industry to partner with us. We choose to define them as "Associate Contractors" because we have developed strong relationships with these individuals and companies and know the quality of work and professionalism that they provide. We DO NOT simply bid out to the lowest bidder, which is common with many "Subcontractors". In cases where we have extensive backlogs or the project does not appear to meet our minimum scope of work, we refer clients directly to our Associate Contractors to expedite service. Our AC's are instructed to communicate this practice when contacting the potential client, but in rare cases, this point unfortunately falls through the cracks. We strive to make our Customers experience as delightful as possible and will continue to work on our process to ensure that our systems are properly communicated.

They responded quickly to our call, and arrived promptly when they said that they would arrive. I found them from the list on Angie's list. They leveled out the area and built up some rocks for drainage. I am very happy with their work and will use them again.
Description of Work: The company leveled out an area in front of our house and built some rocks up against my house for drainage.

Contacted via email after joining the list because of the high rating. I requested an estimate for some excavating, grading, drainage, and to install a block retaining wall. The company never responded to me directly, but instead gave my info to one of their friends. I wanted an estimate from Rock Solid because of the ratings here, not someone I never heard of! Maybe my job was too small for them, or they were busy, but they could have told me that directly. The company they gave my info to, contacted me, and I allowed them to come and provide an estimate because it wouldn't hurt to have another estimate, but I was very upset at this treatment. The only thing reasonably professional Rock Solid did was that they did not give their friend my email address.
Description of Work: none!

Response from Rock Solid Hardscaping
Received email from the member with description of project. Returned email to the member within 24 hours stating that the project described in his email did not appear to meet our minimum scope and that we had a current backlog of scheduled projects in excess of three months. Provided the member with the information of another reputable, fully licensed, fully insured, ICPI & NCMA certified company. Also contacted the referred company to provide them with the contact information and phone number of the member in an effort to help expedite the comunication between the two parties. Followed up with the referred company within a week to confirm that they made successful contact with the member. Referred company confirmed contact and further explained that an estimate was in process. When we are contacted by email, we typically will respond by email. Many times this is the preferred way of contact for customers. Rock Solid Hardscaping holds a business URL and our emails originate from that URL. If the member did not receive our response, via email, it is entirely possible that it went into a spam folder depending on his email security/filter settings. We at Rock Solid Hardscaping take pride in our level of craftsmanship, professionalism and communication as specifically mentioned in many of the reviews on this site. We regret the member did not receive our email, but we made sure he was contacted by the company we referred and confirmed that an estimate was in process.

Given that we had at least 3 other contractors who never bothered to get back to us.....Rock Solid Hardscaping's professionalism and quick response is worth mentioning although we may or may not go w them.
Description of Work: Very prompt and responsive although initial estimate was too high for us. The owner Craig came out and talked to us in detail about our retaining wall and followed up with his engineers/designer. Initial estimate and communications have been great. We are impressed by their responsiveness.....

The best thing about it was the fact that there was always very good supervision on the site. They were outstanding all around and that was the reason that I hired them. I tend to be very cautious in picking the contractors as I am in the construction business. I would like to grade them very highly on all the categories. They were a great company and were a blast to work with.
Description of Work: I used the services of Rock Solid Hardscaping last month for a paver patio, retaining wall, walkway and grading. They also did some work on our drainage.

The job was thoroughly professional. Any meetings, estimates, and start and finish of work was exactly on time. The quality of the work was excellent, and the mason was courteous, pleasant, and professional. These guys did great work. Reasonable and fair price. Best experience we have ever had with a contracting/home improvement service.
Description of Work: They build a curved retaining wall approximately 35 feet in length, finished in bluestone and dry stack veneer, and refinished our existing patio walls in drystack veneer.

This was a terrific experience from start to finish. Craig was often on site, always available by phone or text, and offered up some great ideas for the design and execution. Even when Craig was not on site we were in the excellent hands of his foreman John. As someone in the construction business I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get this type of on site supervision when you undertake a large and costly project. I am a pretty tough customer with respect to home improvement projects. I expect top quality work and Craig and his team delivered a great product at fair price. I would work with Craig again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: The project included a paver patio, a fire pit, retaining walls, drainage repair and a stepping stone path.

It was a great experience overall. He got back to me in a timely manner when I called. He was very informative. The initial consultation was also very informative. The design phase was great, it was beautiful which is why we went with him. The installation process went very smooth. He was at our house every day, and the workmanship is of the highest quality. It looks so great. It was a complete transformation from a clean slate into our dream backyard.
Description of Work: They did hardscaping and landscaping. They did a patio, a firepit, and he planted trees, shurbs, perrenials, and created beds. He also built an outdoor kitchen area includes a built-in grill and a countertop. The entire area has a pergola over it.

What I really liked about this company is that I was able to converse with them. They were able to understand my requests. I felt like they were so knowledgeable about the things I wanted, and they didn't try to force anything on me that I didn't want. The work is just beautiful. I have seen some of his work before and it was all just beautiful.

It was a 10. It was absolutely fantastic. I have not dealt with a company where they have just been on spot with everything. They were very meticulous. They did everything to my expectations. They actually went above and beyond. It looks fantastic. I have gotten more use out of this fire pit and patio than I ever thought I would. It's just beautiful. They cleaned up the job site, I didn't have to ask for anything. From start to finish it was just a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
