My husband and I highly recommend Angel and his crew at Rainier Rockeries! They did an exceptional job installing beautiful natural stone steps and retaining walls on our very steep, uneven front yard! Angel was very responsive from the day I reached out to him for a quote. He was also extremely helpful in answering all of our design questions even before we signed any paperwork. He and his crew are very professional, skilled, and take a lot of pride in their work. They go the extra mile to ensure that you are happy with the finished product. They were such a pleasure to work with, we would definitely

I can't say enough good things about Angel and his team. Building new retaining walls in our backyard was our first major project in our new home. We made the right decision in choosing Rainier Rockery to complete this work. Angel communicated clearly throughout the entire project and even took the time to hand select a special rock to serve as a "bench" for my daughters. The team worked efficiently each day and completed the project on time. We even decided to increase our budget and expand the scope of the project after we saw how wonderful everything was looking! Can't wait to have them back

UPDATE APRIL 2021: We rehired Angel and his team for a paver driveway transformation and they far exceeded even my high expectations. Relentless work ethic (focus on one job at a time), commitment to every little detail, and Angel communicated with me daily as little questions came up to ensure they were aligned with our vision. The pictures speak for themselves.. quality work & service!

Angel and his team at Rainier Rockeries provided amazing service and results on a complex step/retaining wall project in West Seattle. They provided excellent design advice, were clearly focused on providing the best final product, and took exceptional care in creating a long-lasting and beautiful final product. We've gotten so many compliments on our new black basalt front steps and updated retaining walls - and it wouldn't have come out this good without the expert hardscaping from Angel and Rainier Rockeries. We highly recommend them!
