Why People Hire Rock Solid Landscape

Not because we are the cheapest. We are not. Because the work goes in the right order, the proposal is itemized down to the roll of fabric, and we come back for three years if a paver settles.

Northern Nevada has clay soils, a dozen freeze-thaw cycles a winter and afternoon windstorms. So we get the water off your roof and out to the street before anything pretty goes in, excavate to real depth under every paver, and pay the crew an extra hour every day to clean up so nothing blows into the neighbor’s yard.

  • 3-year warranty on all hardscape
  • Nevada C-10 and C-18 licensed contractor
  • Certified Belgard and ICPI installers
  • Itemized proposals, line by line

Paver Driveways

Beautiful, functional driveways built to handle Nevada’s climate

Outdoor Lighting

Subtle yet impactful illumination for enhanced aesthetics and safety.

Artificial Turf

Low-maintenance turf solutions ideal for Nevada’s environment

Built for Northern Nevada. Warrantied for Three Years.

Every patio, driveway, wall and step we set is covered against settling for three years. Irrigation for a year, plant material for 90 days. When something needs attention, the foreman who built it comes back.

Honest Fit

What We Build, and What We Don’t

Jeff would rather tell you this now than after you have spent an afternoon with an estimator. We are set up for complete yards that keep a crew on site for weeks. We are not the right call for a two-day job, and we will say so and try to point you somewhere good.

A good fit for us

  • A blank slate behind a new build: drainage, irrigation, hardscape, trees and plants, in order
  • Full backyard renovations where the whole yard comes out and goes back in
  • Paver driveways, patios, retaining walls, steps, outdoor kitchens, fire and water features
  • Projects that typically run $60,000 to $200,000 and keep a crew on site for about a month
  • Smaller hardscape jobs for our two-man crew, like tearing out a concrete driveway and setting pavers

Probably not us

  • Planting a few flowers or filling a planter bed. Nothing against flowers. It is just not who we are.
  • Pulling out junipers and spreading rock, or swapping a front lawn for fabric and DG in the middle of summer
  • Anything that only needs two or three days. Moving the trailer, toilet and equipment for a short job costs more than the job.
  • Price shopping by the square foot over the phone. We need to see access, grade and materials to give you a real number.

Ask us about the small winter projects anyway. We keep a two-man crew for exactly that, and winter is when we have the room. And if you are trying to understand where the money goes before you call anyone, read what actually drives the cost of a backyard landscape in Reno.

Testimonials from Our Customers

Rock Solid Landscape Icon

Serving Northern Nevada Since 2004

Rock Solid Landscape is run by Jeff Steckline, who spent more than a decade as a wildland firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service and the BLM before he ever drew a backyard. That is where he learned grades, aspects, soils and trees, and it still shows in how we place a tree so it shades the patio ten summers from now. Our crews work in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village and Spanish Springs, NV.
