We’ve worked with Solid Rock on multiple projects over the years, and they consistently deliver outstanding results. Their team is highly professional, pays exceptional attention to detail, and communicates clearly from start to finish. Jon and Chris are always the first to call—whether it’s to follow up, answer questions, or check on our satisfaction. Highly recommend them for any landscaping needs!

Chris and Solid Rock were great and very thorough at completing some landscaping edging we wanted at our new home prior to it being completed. Reasonable, communicative, and helpful. Will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking.

Just, WOW! These guys worked with us to set up a plan for our landscaping and stepping stones AND landscape lighting and were very flexible with changes we decided on. They are very knowledgable about the best types of plants for our soul and light and do not try to ovesell! The work came out beautifully at a cost that was much less than other companies we tried. Chris and Jon are the owners and are readily available to answer questions. They did not buy just the cheapest or smallest plants; they look nice right from the start. Do yourself a favor and talk to Solid Rock! They will govecyou the result YOU want at a reasonable price. Take a look at these pictures…

Solid Rock has completed two projects for us. A large outdoor patio with a gas fire pit, complete with landscaping and rock and wall work. Very professional crew. Hired them again for a custom stone drive way to my shop. A++.

Abby Bartine

The guys at Solid Rock Landscaping are absolutely first in class. Not only did they design and install a beautiful walkway and retaining walls, but they were so, so easy to work with from start to finish. They are very responsive, made extremely helpful and practical suggestions along the way to improve on my vision, and always kept their word and followed through. I recommend them without hesitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the consultation process work?

The paid on-site consultation usually lasts 30–60 minutes and covers the project's function and appearance. Within two weeks, the client receives a first-draft CAD design, sometimes with 3D images or video, and an itemized estimate.

Can I get a preliminary estimate before booking a consultation?

Customers can provide a detailed project description and photos for a ballpark estimate. The company gives a two-week response timeframe for that preliminary estimate.

Who handles design and on-site management?

Chris Wallenburg handles consultations, estimates and custom designs. Jon Wallenburg manages the business and the on-site crew.
