  Their price is competitive. Their superior work outweighs the lower price. The quality is fantastic. We've been using them for 4 years and they always did tremendous work.

  Emily had fantastic vision in designing our patio project. She was creative and did a wonderful job helping us figure out how to best use the space. We love our new patio!

  We chose River Rock because of their willingness to price out the job before we committed to a contract. They were willing to write in terms to make sure I was satisfied that the job would be completed on time and within the quoted price. We did end up having to make a couple of minor changes to the plan because of odd city regulations, but other than we knew the cost of every item and knew how much our changes would add or take away from the total price. Our project manager kept us up to date on the process and we didn't not have to manage the workers. We worked with the project manager to come up with a design we would love. While, I gave him an initial idea, he spent a lot of time with us making sure it was right; i.e planning the layout of the design in a visual program, making sure pillars weren't in the way of views, helping choose durable products, and giving us previous project ideas.We are so pleased with the end results and everyone comments on how beautiful and function our back yard is! When you are hiring a company, don't be fooled by premium landscape design companies who can't tell you what you will get for the price they are quoting. You will end up with nothing. Make sure your landscape designer does not subcontract out the work, but hires in house. Make sure that there is a guarantee in the contract of when the project will be completed and on budget. Make sure the company has insurance. Make sure your landscapers guarantee their labor and products longer than 1 year When you have a project, consider River Rock. They exceed all these requirements and really care about the project and the customershow more

  Fabulous, Demo of patio much more difficult than expected because underneath the tiles was about 6" of concrete. Though they didn't ask for it, I paid them more than was due under our contract. The new patio is even better than I had hoped for. Workmanship is perfect and clean-up was very good. Can't recommend them highly enough. Don M, La Jollshow more

  River Rock Outscape provided exceptional service and responsiveness from the very first contact through the completion of the project. The sales representative, Alex, provided us with a computer diagram and image of the work to be done. This allowed us to visualize what the completed project would look like. Alex, unlike other sales reps, did not disappear after the contract was signed. Instead he was in constant communication with us and was on site at least once a week to assess the progress and to confirm each of the subsequent phases of the project. We were initially asked if we would allow work to be done on Saturday, and of course we accepted the offer. The project began in early June and was completed the first week in September 2017. During the 10 weeks or so that the project required, work proceeded on schedule, six days a week, with only two of the Saturdays during this period not having work performed. The owner of the company, Octavio Garcia, personally inspected the work being performed at least once a week as well. I have had numerous contracted work performed and had never had the type of continuous positive contact, concern and vigilance that Octavio provided. He is focused on quality and upon meeting customer expectations. There were a number of instances during this project in which he went well above and beyond all expectations to accommodate our wishes. The staff he employed for our project were professional, prompt and consistently punctual. I was in fact surprised to receive a call from him one evening to let me know that one of his employees on our project had taken ill and would not be reporting to the job the next morning. He wanted to ensure that we were aware of the circumstances and not left questioning the reason for the absence. The estimate they provided was not the lowest, nor the highest we received. We are satisfied that we received quality service and workmanship throughout the project and are more than satisfied with the final product we received for the money we expended. We would hire River Rock again in a heartbeat. They are reliable, trustworthy, professional, and provide meticulously high quality work. Over the years we have had the opportunity to work with numerous contractors and tradesmen. We have never before received such attention and responsiveness as we did from River Rock. I highly recommend them without hesitationshow more

  This project went well from start to finish. There was no truck access to the project site and only limited bobcat access. All demo materials (concrete and wood) had to be removed by wheelbarrow. All construction materials (underlayment sand and gravel, concrete and mortar, paving blocks, wall blocks etc) could be brought 2/3 way in (100') by bobcat and then brought to the final site (50' up hill) by wheelbarrow. Brad Garcia did not consider this any trouble at all. We set a start time and Brad called a few days prior and said his men could start a couple of days early which worked for us. Once on the job his crew appeared on time every day and worked thru the day and in some instances, worked till dusk to complete the project well within the specified time. The demo phase went fast. The concrete patio was built in the 80's and was mostly 5+ inches thick. I was concerned that in preparing the site for the base material some existing shrub and tree roots would be cut, damaging the plants. Brad understood this and assured me that they would take care to do the least possible damage. In the end, no large root systems were cut. I removed the nails and screws from the demo'ed shed and was able to recycle much of the red wood (my neighbor took it to repair his decks). The crew removed and disposed of all the remaining wood and all the broken up concrete. The building phase went without a hitch. We moved to CA three years ago and bought an older home on 1 1/4 acre. There has been much work done over these three years and we have had many crews from different trades working on our home, including other landscapers who paved a front walk for us with the same block material and pattern River Rock used. Brad's crew comprises some of the most capable men we have had working on our home. The guy who laid the patio block was more than meticulous in setting up the floor design and carrying it thru from compacting the base material to setting the block. It came out truly level and square. We could not have asked for a more professional job than he did. I have to say that when I saw the kid (not a day over 23 I'd bet) who was to build the 10' long 6' high block wall I was a little concerned as to whether he had the skill to do a nice job. Wow, was he good. That wall was built to last, all the rebar both vertical and horizontal, was put in place and the wall is level and square, all the joints are clean and even. He put me in my place for thinking only an older tradesman can do such good work. My hat is off to him for sure. This is just the kind of people Brad and his brother have working with them, never a disappointment. All the men who came to work at our home on this project were competent, courteous, friendly and all went out of their way to answer any questions we had and worked with us when we added to the original contract (the 100' crushed road was an add on). An additional note worthy policy of Brad's crew is that every day they completely cleaned up the area before leaving. This included sweeping up the driveway which was used as a holding place for raw materials. Dump truck loads of crushed rock and sand piles were kept contained and the drive way was swept clean around these piles every day. Only one other crew we employed was as mindful of how important daily cleanup is to the sanity of the clients they were working for (our kitchen remodel crew). Everyone at River Rock should be proud of every aspect of this job. (I hope Brad reads this and passes our words on to his crew.show more

  I waited a few months to submit this review to see haw the new patio would stand up to winter weather. Now that we have had a couple of storms, here goes. Old concrete patio had been cracked by intruding roots. Got bids on the job to replace and improve the back & side yard, and RRO was the lowest bid, but not low-balled. Don't trust bids that are TOO low. The job was medium size, meaning that they had a lot of work to do, but the area was not large enough to get machinery in to it. That meant everything had to be done by hand, including breakup and haul away of old patio, and bringing new materiel to the site and placing it..The company is run by two brothers who are very knowledgeable and responsive. They created root barriers to prevent recurrence of the original problem. They created an interesting paver pattern with a diamond motif. They graded the area for drainage, and installed numerous drains that tapped into our main drainage pipe. They put up a small retaining wall, and also left certain open spaces as planters for our garden. As the job progressed questions arose, but the brothers were responsive, and accommodated all reasonable changes. The final job looked wonderful! But I wanted to make sure that the drainage system worked, and that nothing shifted after the winter storms. It all held up great, and the drains really do drain properly. They also replaced a short wooden fence that had to be taken down during the job. They do this as a service to complete jobs for their clients. And though the fence was competently built, RRO is not the first place I would go for wood work. That's just not their expertise. I would unhesitatingly recommend River Rock Outscape for any patio, paver or stone wall work.They did a great job, and kept us happy throughout the processshow more

  Overall, very well. It wasn't perfect. But, once problems were identified, they were addressed. Very hard working group, generally pleasant, good management. At times, communications between workers could have been better. We would reuse RRO and recommend them to others.

  Brandon was so helpful with a prompt response for estimates and provided a computer rendering of the project! He had great ideas and was very flexible to work with. They showed up 3 days after signing and the work was completed in about 2 weeks. Project looks wonderful and has improved our curb appeal by 1000%show more

  My husband and I are thrilled with our new backyard! From the beginning Andrew understood our needs and worked on a design that would give us more usable space for our family gatherings. Andrew is jus wonderful to work with! He is attentive to your needs and concerns and has an incredible vision for hardscape design and landscape. Once the design was done, they had to demolish existing cement and level our whole backyard to have more usable space. They installed pavers, lighting, gas lines for our fire pit and grill and landscape. It all came together even better than we ever imagined! The whole team was led by our project manager, Alvaro, who is a pleasure to work with. Every worker that was brought in was professional, punctual, and tidied up before they left for the day. Alvaro was always responsive and accommodating with the changes that we thought needed to be done along the way and still the project was completed on time and within the budget. We wish we could give more than 5 stars and cannot recommend this company enough! Hiring California Smartscape was the best decision we could have made and one we will enjoy for many years to come!show more
