From a single patio to a full outdoor transformation. We handle design, materials, and installation with the same hands-on crew throughout.
Brick pavers, natural stone, concrete, and custom borders. Built flat, level, and designed to last through Michigan winters.
Engineered for drainage, grading, and long-term stability. We build walls that hold, and look great doing it.
Custom steps, pillars, columns, and concrete flatwork. Structural work that doubles as the centerpiece of your outdoor space.
From screened topsoil and mulch to drainage stone, boulders, and decorative rock — we stock everything your outdoor project needs, sold by the yard and delivered straight to your property.

We don't juggle a dozen jobs at once. When it's your turn, you get our full focus — from the first layout line to the final stone. That's how we've built a reputation on repeat customers and referrals.
Over a decade of hands-on hardscape work across Washtenaw County. We know Michigan soil, Michigan winters, and what it takes to build something that lasts.
The same crew that gives your estimate builds your project. No subcontractors, no shortcuts, no disappearing halfway through the job.
Our Process
From first visit to final walkthrough — a straightforward process built around your schedule and your goals.
Kyle visits your property to assess drainage, grade, existing conditions, and project scope — so nothing is left to guesswork before the quote is written.
We work through layout options, material choices, and finishes that fit your style and budget. You'll know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Our experienced crew handles every phase — excavation, base prep, installation, and cleanup. We work efficiently and leave your property better than we found it.
We build with Michigan winters in mind. Proper base depths, drainage planning, and quality materials mean your project holds up season after season.
Every project is a reflection of the homeowner's vision and our crew's craft. Browse by service type to see what's possible for your outdoor space.

This is a test
I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. I was in need of a company to excavate and rebuild retaining walls lining a driveway. I got quotes from several different companies and from the start felt the most comfortable with Kyle. On the first meeting he discussed options, what would work best for the space, and obstacles he would foresee in the job. He was very upfront and honest with the work to be done and his pricing. He gave very detailed info on how the original structure wasn't built for longevity and the additional work he would do to create a drain tile. Once the work started he was very open with the timeline. He updated us regularly and was very communicative. When the work was completed he was very thorough in explaining everything and offering future support if needed. Now several weeks after being completed it turned out better than expected and very happy we hired the Rock Guys
Kyle and his team have been incredible. They went above & beyond to restore my brick patio, create a better space between the patio and gardens, included downspouts for the house -under the ground. Kyle was thoughtful with his design restoration and working with Kyle & his team was ideal. I would highly recommend The Rock Guys of Washtenaw for any job. Thank you, Kyle!!!
I was interested in adding an above ground pool near our house; however we live on the top of steep hill - so a complex project. The Rock Guys to the rescue ! I worked with Kyle from start to finish assessing the site, then coming up with a 3D design draft of a concrete retaining wall to anchor the project. From trenching to rebar, installing forms and then concrete pumping over the house for a single solid stable pore, the project went great ! Once the concrete dried Kyle and the team were back to reshape and sculpt the dirt into a wonderful new and now useable back yard. Sod was then installed to protect from erosion. The end result is wonderful !!!
One of the difficulties in selecting a contractor is finding someone who not only is exceptionally skilled but also has a good work ethic—and Kyle Wheeler is that contractor. Kyle has an incredible skill set which enables him to meet the many needs of his clients. I have worked with Kyle for a number of years, and I never cease to be amazed at his ability to scope out, plan and complete a project. I live on a lake and have about 500 feet of shoreline which is constantly battered by jet skis and boat traffic. Kyle graded and redesigned the shoreline, reinforcing the many boulders which had failed. A picture of his work is on the website. Over the last three years, Kyle has been instrumental in redesigning my landscape and hardscape. He is extremely skilled in the geometry of design and troubleshooting problems. Kyle is the type of contractor who listens to his clients and thoughtfully does his utmost to meet their expectations.
