We started our business in Abbotsford B.C. in 2001. We began with what we had. A wheelbarrow, a 1978 ford f100, and a Honda lawnmower. I've always been able to mow straight lines so we decided to begin with lawn maintenance. As soon as we were able to secure some large contracts, we purchased our John Deere lawn tractor. From 2001 to 2003 we mowed, trimmed, and pruned for our clients. We called ourselves Total Landscape Care (TLC) and slowly grew each year. As we maintained yards, we were also asked to do some landscape construction. Our most significant projects were a massive paverstone driveway with a custom stone border for one of the largest homes in Abbotsford. We also installed pavers for the local Tim Hortons. Since Alberta was booming and Abbotsford was slowing, we decided to make the move to Edmonton.
We arrived and hit the ground running. Thankfully we moved into a fantastic neighbourhood with very few completed yards. Our company changed from landscape maintenance to landscape construction. Our focus was on high end yards and our name changed to Rockwater Landscapes Ltd. (we incorporated) . Seven of our neighbours used our services, and word of mouth took us from there. As business grew we began to specialize on hardscapes, paving stones and retaining walls.
Our first experience with commercial work came with the construction of three allan block retaining walls for the Sherwood Park Costco. This project went very well, and we began to focus more on large retaining walls. We never let go of full service landscaping, but always looked for stone work to be involved.
We get most excited about large, complicated big block retaining walls. Using the right product in the right application is something we are passionate about. We believe there is a large market for big block walls, and we have worked hard to be the go-to contractor when doing it right matters.
We are proud of every project, and continue to pursue large walls anywhere there's a need, as well as high end residential landscape construction.
We are dedicated to providing the highest level of integrity, quality, and accuracy to every project.
