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.

Extremely competent, skilled, caring, precise and creative staff team! The quality and appearance of our new retaining wall and driveway exceeded our expectations! They have the people and equipment to do the job right. We will hire them again soon. Very honest business that delivered value and impressed us! Communicated throughout the project.

The whole team was fantastic to work with. We had them place a number of large 2-4 man landscaping rocks. James went above and beyond to place each rock perfectly. He was incredibly patient and a joy to work with, plus the final result is stunning and the price was great!

The team at New Life Rockeries did a fantastic job. They installed two new retaining walls in a difficult location. They were great to work with, made the process clear, easy to follow, and answered any questions I had. They were also very transparent about costs and design decisions. Highly recommend.

Rockeries Materials

New Life Rockeries specializes in working with a robust variety of material. Because of this, we have an intimate understanding of the selection of material to make your home project look perfect. The following is a sampling of the materials we commonly work with.

stone

New Life Rockeries has a huge selection to pick from to construct your retaining walls and water features. Generally, we suggest granite, sandstone, limestone, and basalt. Your choice of texture, size, color, and rock shape all can be taken into consideration when making selections of stone for your Redmond home project. Choosing the right material for your project begins with the style of rockery construction you want. Environmental conditions also will factor into the rocks and stones we may suggest using.

Plants

Adding plants to your retaining wall can add a tremendous difference to the end look of your property. The simple addition of a proper selection of plants to your rockery can give your project a vibrant and welcome feeling. If your project is in an area with poor light, impatiens or hostas will thrive. We recommend selecting some common plants and adding them to your retaining wall. For the area ground cover choices like perennials, wooly yarrow, and rock cress to name a few. Not only will this you add to the beauty, but it blends into the property creating a natural look.

Retaining Walls

Depending on your project needs, you may require the construction of a full retaining wall. Our professionals will suggest to you the ideal layout of your retaining wall. Accounting for what purpose the wall is intended to accomplish. They will handpick the best rocks needed for the project, and desired style.

Retaining Wall Types

New Life Rockeries primarily uses three types of rock in the projects we work on.

One Man, Half Man Rock
Rocks that can be mostly moved by hand and are excellent for small wall projects. It is important to note that one man and half man rocks are not rocks a man can pick up, these are rocks that require the use of a crowbar to move. On half man projects, we bring out a larger crew so we can complete most of the work in a single day.

Two and Three Man Rock
These Rocks can only be moved into position with the aid of a machine. This means that our teams will have one operator as well as one man on the ground and another driving a supply truck. This is commonly the type of work our crews do. We use a mini machine that has been modified to make the construction of these type of walls quick and economical. We can install 400-600 square foot of retaining wall on an average day.

Boulders
Due to their rounded edges and smooth surfaces, boulders are rarely used in the construction of rock walls. They may sometimes be inserted within rock walls to add aesthetics enhancement as they are generally reserved for decorative uses on a property.

Water Features

Water features are a wonderful way to elevate the beauty of your rockery. Everything from ponds, pools, falls, and fountains are all great features that in addition to adding beauty to your project can also help control water flow on your property. With a wide number of Water feature options available, we can construct nearly any look you desire.

New Life Rockeries wants to give your landscape a voice. Selecting the best choices of material, plants, and water features is our way of helping you achieve that. We provide you with professional assistance ensuring you make the right choice in rocks for your water feature in addition to selecting its perfect placement.
