Testimonials

We are so impressed by New Life Rockeries! We’ve worked with a LOT of different contractors over the past few years trying to turn a fixer upper into our home and NLR is easily the best company we’ve worked with. Alonso and his team aren’t just hardworking and meticulous, they are artists who transformed our front yard. You can tell that they really care about their work and each other ghostwriting. Alonso would come by a couple of times a week to chat with us, help out the crew if needed, and make sure they had everything they needed. Bobby, who gave us the estimate, also checked in with us. He did everything he could to keep the price within our budget, even after a few changes to the design. The craftsmanship that’s gone into these walls is one of a kind. Thank you so much NLR!!

New Life Rockeries was so easy to work with on every step of the process. They heard our hopes/goals, provided awesome professional feedback to make it even better than our hopes, and got the job done! They started sooner than we expected, were very detailed focused (since I’m working form home I’d spy a little and was impressed by how they would spend the time to get each stone perfect), and they came in under budget! This was not a little project either, they leveled a weird hill we had, moved an old rock wall (even built a new rock wall with the old stones to another part of the yard that needed), and built a beautiful new patio and retaining wall with a built-in bench. Can’t recommend them enough and will get more projects done by them in the future! *In the photos you will see a concrete wall, they did not do that ugly thing. That is getting covered by a fence that will sit on-top of the lovely wall New Life built.

Absolutely fantastic. We had the New Life team replace our failing retaining wall and make some steps from our front to back yard and an area for a fire pit. They stabilized our wall despite torrential rain while they were working. Their work was surgically precise and our neighbors were also really happy. 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!!

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.
