Rusty was clear and helpful throughout the process. The team worked efficiently & quickly - completing our project in 1/2 the time of similar projects in the neighborhood done by other companies. And, the end result is beautiful!

Rusty did a small stone patio and walkway in my backyard. He was helpful at assisting me pick a design that turned out looking awesome. His crew was fantastic. They were so polite and were kind to my 7-year old who wanted to watch them work and ask lots of questions. I would highly recommend Rusty for outdoor living solutions. I love mine!

Rusty started out with quality work and good communication. Then everything fell off the rails. He refused to return calls and refused to finish the job. He took our money but didnt finish and he installed a gas line that didnt confirm to code requirements. We are having to dig it up and replace it. As well as hire a new contractor to finish the job. Rusty is not an honest business man and will take your money and leave you high and dry. Beware.

I had Rusty install an irrigation system for me. As an ex contractor and builder, I can be a little critical on people working on my home but not in this case. His crew did a great job and Rusty was here supervising daily. A few days after completion, he actually called me up to see if I was still happy with the job which is unusual for a contractor to do. I would not hesitate to recommend and or use him again in the future.

We had an outdoor kitchen built last spring . The entire crew was professional and friendly. The work was detailed and the pricing was fair . We continually get positive comments from friends and family who see our kitchen. They also take care of our irrigation system, and have worked on our landscaping. Highly recommend Kemp Outdoor Solutions!!
