I hired RWF to do my townhouse patio. I had an initial concept but this team above all others I interviewed took my design and really advanced it. In addition, they also made sure that the concept was realistic in terms of how it would actually be laid out. Their team is professional and fast. They completed the project well in advance of when I thought they would. They have an awesome communication portal, so it's easy to get in touch and ask questions. If I had any concerns, they responded immediately to clarify and make sure I was happy. The outcome was beautiful but the process of getting there was even more seamless.

They did a superb job. They showed up on time, the work was first-rate professional and they thoroughly restored the surrounding areas. The designs were exceptional (definitely ask for Brittany). We are going to have them do additional work, including a patio. Very highly recommend.

See above as single narrative.
Description of Work: For too many years we put up with a front walkway that had been horribly botched by another contractor. After obtaining on-site visits and subsequent proposals from a number of contractors, we selected Rock Water Farm. It was an easy decision. Their design was superior, the cost estimate was very competitive, and our interactions with Brittany, their designer, were uniformly outstanding. The actual project went very smoothly; the only delays were related to weather. The first crew handled the masonry and the resultant walkway exceeded all expectations. It is exquisite. The second crew redid a number of stacked stone walls around three beds and did a comprehensive site restoration. Again, the work was to the highest standards. Six months later we are still hearing glowing reactions from friends and neighbors. This fall Rock Water Farm extensively redid our back yard, including a dry creek bed, a new tree, another rock wall border, nearly 100 plants and extensive mulching. The result is breathtaking and, again, the price was very reasonable . They are now preparing a design for a back yard patio, the final phase of our outdoor project. Over the past four years we have done extensive interior and exterior remodeling of a house that is now 30 years old. We have had excellent results from most of our contactors. Having said that, Rock Water Farm has been one of the very best. We recommend them without hesitation or reservation. Suggestion: ask for Brittany.

The guys who did the work, worked very hard and it took a few hours for them to complete it. I was very impressed by their hard work, and they cleaned up after themselves! Everything looks beautiful, and much better than it has for awhile. Several people on our street use this business and I can see why!
Description of Work: They cleaned up our flower beds in the front of our house. They removed the old mulch, got rid of the weeds, and laid down new mulch. They also removed unwanted plants, and moved others into better positions. They landscaped the beds and trees in our yard in such a way as to help prevent grass encroachment in the future.

Description of Work: We contacted RWF to initiate a large job of designing and putting in a patio, lighting, and related landscaping for our back yard. It took several contacts to get a response to our initial inquiry. When we had a meeting to discuss the ideas, it was a positive meeting, Todd was right on time, and he promised to have a design ready for us to review by June 1 when we returned from vacation. I recontacted him on June 3 via phone and text, and still to this date have not received a response. I am very disappointed in the lack of responsiveness as I had read many great reviews about their work.

Response from Rock Water Farm
Yes there was a delay. We initially met, discussed the project and I was then going to hear back from the customer when they returned from vacation. Normally, I like to setup the follow up appointment at that time (which I attempted). I contacted the customer after receiving a text message several days later. No emails were exchanged. After receiving the text message, I called and left a voicemail. I called again, got an answer and we arranged a meeting. We reviewed the drawing, discussed changes and I spent time working on those changes. I reached out without response and when I did I was told that after reviewing finances they would not be proceeding with the project. This was without seeing the revisions or the actual cost of the project, only very rounded budget numbers for a relatively small project. We build projects of all sizes. Our crews will plant one tree if that is what someone desires and cut their lawn. Other crews will implement master plans including swimming pools, pavilions, patios, fireplaces and landscape renovations. We are not a huge company, we are not a small company, but we are a lean company to keep our prices in line with what we feel is a reasonable for the quality product. I apologize we had difficulty reaching each other in the beginning, some of which I explained upon. Please recognize that we were caught short staffed at the time as some of our employees were enjoying their well deserved vacation time, delaying our responses beyond our usual timeframe. I understand your frustration, I welcome your feedback and we will continue to improve daily. -Todd Thomasson, President

We can't say enough good things about RWF. They beat everyone else's price and the quality was still very high. In fact...so many of our neighbors were impressed with how our yard looked and the price that RWF gave us, they had their homes put on the rotation list too. I bet they have 10+ homes on our street (several in a row) as RWF customers. We are using them again this coming season.

Services were fine. I wish they would have touched base with me, when they were done. They left a sign when they were done with the work as opposed to a phone follow. I had an overage on the square footage, I had to pay extra for. Other than those hiccups the work was great, I would highly recommend.

The mowing was done as per voucher, they did a great job BUT, after several weeks later I got received a bill for mowing that they did after the 4 mows on the voucher. I wasn't aware they were still mowing my lawn, I thought it was either the neighbors helping out or someone in my household taking care of it and keeping up what landscaping company started. Why would I think they continued to mow when I did not request it or have any contract with them. I didn't think nothing about who was mowing, because all I care is that it was mowed.. so when I did notice it I was like cool, didn't question the household on who mowed it, why would I?? Furthermore, the landscaping company wanted to charge me for the additional 5 mows that I did not request. I never agreed to or asked for additional mowing nor did I sign any contract agreement, but yet he sent me a bill of services. Upon contacting them, the person did respond in a manner that was not appreciated because he stated he didn't believe that I didn't know they were still mowing, but said they would take care of it. Regardless, I didn't request their service beyond the 4 mows stated on the voucher. They never sent me information on the cost to continue services or even offered additional services. Even when they did do the four mows, there was never a notification like a door sticky that said they came, so again, why would I think it was them when I have able bodies in the home that can mow and normally did the mowing? I just got the voucher to see how the company was, and now I know. Note the rating is a little off because the people who did do the actual work did a great job!! A+. As far as the company trying to charge me for unwanted services that gets a thumbs down.

The voucher was a deal for the first four cuts at a discounted rate in order to earn additional business. I apologize if you were not aware of that and you were in turn not charged for the additional cuts. When I initially setup the deal with the online service, it was launched with incorrect details (on their behalf) and it has taken some time for it to be corrected unfortunately. My team member was questioning only the difference in appearance from a commercial mower (wide and striped) vs a push mower, and some cuts took place on Saturdays. All together, your lawn was actually cut 10 times, we gave you the additional 6 cuts at no charge once we realized what happened and you were taken care of at no expense to you. I am glad you were happy with the guys work and sorry for the misunderstanding. Feel free to reach out directly to me if we can be of any help in the future, we run an honest and open business. Best, Todd Thomasson, President

We had a fantastic experience with Rock Water Farm. The owner. Todd Thomasson, was involved throughout the project to ensure everything was exactly right. Every single person working for Todd was friendly and professional. They showed up on time and delivered exactly what they promised. Our yard looks beautiful. We have a variety of colors around our pool that will bloom at different times. Also, we have trees and other shrubs that will grow to give us privacy. The front walkway turned out even nicer than we expected. I would definitely recommend this company for both landscaping and hardscaping.

We saw a gentleman spreading "stuff" in our backyard on Sat. morning; however, we weren't even told he'd be coming. I guess it didn't matter since it was outside work, but would have been nice to know. He never came to door and introduced himself at all, which would have been a nice gesture. Can't rate punctuality as we didn't know he was coming. However, they were punctual in calling us -- we didn't have to call them.

-Hi [member name removed] and thank you for purchasing our service! The "stuff" was the organic fertilizer we use and we would be happy to show you a sample of it. Due to its size and color, it's not really visible after its applied and we make sure to blow off the hard surfaces as needed. We don't normally have the guys knocking on doors because we want to keep specific lines of communcation open, so that everyone remains on the same page so-to-speak. I must say that the 4" of snow we recieved, and the following rain, made our schedule a little interesting but I'm happy we were able to accomodate your application. Keep in mind this was one applicaiton of the fertilizer and that it will require repeat maintenance of your lawn to keep it in tip top shape. We're playing a little catch up from being closed for Easter Monday and will be in touch with you about your application tomorrow. Take care! -Todd

One of my employees stopped by your home and spoke with your husband. I recall a little difficulty getting schedules to mesh but this was a year ago and I can't say for certain exactly what happened. If we did in fact drop-the-ball I apologize and that's unfortunate for us to miss the opportunity to do business with you. We have recently incorporated a daily tracking software that all leads go into. If my company can be of any help in the future, call and ask to speak with me directly (Todd). I hope your project turned out well, take care.

We have used Rock Water Farm for several years now. Todd Thomasson (owner) is fully committed to providing a quality, beautiful result for our landscaping needs. We use Rock Water Farm for our regular mowing/lawn maintenance program. Their prices are VERY reasonable and they always do a good job. This year has been particularly wet and there have been a few times that the lawn has gotten muddy as a result in a few areas from the mower. Each time, Todd called us personally and let us know that it would be repaired once the lawn was dry again. This is VERY RARE with most mowing services! Additionally, we have used Rock Water Farm in the past for several landscaping projects. The work was delivered on time and the result was beautiful. Todd listened to our suggestions and feedback and happily incorporated those into his design. We will continue to use Rock Water Farm for all of our landscaping needs!
Description of Work: Most recent service was lawn mowing/maintenance, but have also used them for landscaping, a (small) hardscape/patio at the end of our driveway, and tree plantings.

Per the above, we are very happy with RWF's work. They are reliable, professional, and very easy to work with. We will use them for all of our future landscaping needs.
Description of Work: Back in the spring of 2010, after just purchasing a foreclosure that needed a lot of landscaping work, we brought in several contractor for quotes, including Rock Water Farm. Todd, the owner of RWF, met with us and told us that the work we needed was about double our then budget. He explained he reasons why and held firm that he didn't think we could do what we really needed and wanted with our existing budget. He made a compelling argument and we appreciated that he would turn away an immediate sale and rather be a trusted advisor. We ended up waiting 12 months so we could save up enough money to complete all the work Todd had recommended. This included clearing out brush, taking down several trees and overgrown shrubs, pruning shrubs and trees we wanted to keep, planting new shrubs and flowers, grading the entire back yard and side yard, and resodding about 3,000 sq ft of lawn. Todd and his team were always very professional, made last minute adjustment, worked quickly and daily kept us up to speed on the overall project schedule and the items to be completed that day. They did very fine work and we will use them for all our landscaping needs in the future. We get compliments on our yard all the time. We have also used Todd's lawn service when we need some extra help cutting the lawn. They are dependable and do a good job. Overall we feel Todd not only does great work, but we trust his recommendations and suggestions re: budget and landscape design.
