Read what Employee Justin German thinks about Solid Rock:


Some of my best years in landscaping have been with Solid Rock Landscaping LLC, great owners of an established landscaping company that has brought my vision back to life.  Hard work and drive everyday to bring the best out of every individual involved within their vision of becoming the go to landscape company in Des Moines.  Hats off to Chris and Jon for keeping me so long, as I tend to venture on after 3 to 5 years within a company.  I had been supplied with the greatest blessing these last 6 years installing/managing the most mind blowing projects.  If you are serious about landscaping and becoming a landscaper, (because it takes more than 3-5 years before you can even be considered a landscaper in my book) I can say that this is the company that will actually have your back and be there for you. A new year is upon us and its time to create new adventures within the industry.



Read what a PAST Employee, Travis Person,  says about Solid Rock Landscaping


SRL is THE best landscaping company around and a great company to work for. They truly care about their employees. Hats off to Jon Wallenburg for building this company from out of his own garage, to one of the most wanted landscaping companies in the Des Moines area. If I could, I would be back working for Jon in a heart beat.
