Testimonials
Absolutely fantastic.
We had the New Life team replace our failing retaining wall, build steps from our front to back yard, and create an area for a fire pit.
Despite torrential rain during the project, they stabilized our wall and completed the work with surgical precision.
Our neighbors were also really happy with the transformation.
They replaced an ugly, rotten wall with a beautiful terraced one —in terrible weather—and stayed on budget doing so.
They were so easy to work with, and we are so happy with the result.
Thank you!!
New Life Rockeries was so easy to work with on every step of the process.
They heard our hopes and goals, provided awesome professional feedback to make it even better than we imagined, and got the job done!
They started sooner than we expected, were extremely detail-focused (since I'm working from home, I'd spy a little and was impressed by how they would take the time to get each stone perfect), and they came in under budget!
This was not a small project either—they:
- Leveled a weird hill we had
- Moved an old rock wall
- Built a new rock wall with the old stones in another part of the yard
- Constructed a beautiful new patio and retaining wall with a built-in bench
Can't recommend them enough and will definitely get more projects done by them in the future!
In the photos, you’ll see a concrete wall—that ugly thing was NOT their work. It’s getting covered by a fence that will sit on top of the lovely wall New Life built.
We loved working with the team.
They listened to our concerns, addressed landscape issues, provided reasonable solutions that worked, and delivered excellent work.
The team was meticulous and conscientious of our neighbors. They allowed us to expand on the project, finding what worked best.
Clean-up every day was part of their routine, and we were kept informed every step of the way.
We absolutely love our new patio areas, rockeries, landscape, and drainage solutions. We now have a very livable and workable space!
We would hire them again.

Rock Garden Maintenance & Care
We design rock gardens to require minimal upkeep — but we also offer ongoing maintenance services to ensure they continue looking their best year after year. Our expert team provides:
- Seasonal clean-ups to remove debris, refresh gravel or mulch, and prepare plants for changing weather.
- Rock repositioning and leveling to maintain the garden’s intended design, structure, and safety.

DIY Tip 1: Mulch around rock garden plants and incorporate low-growing ground covers to reduce weeds, help retain soil moisture, and promote a healthier growing environment.
DIY Tip 2: Rinse decorative stones and gravel periodically to remove dirt, moss, and algae buildup, keeping your rock garden landscaping looking fresh and vibrant throughout the year.
