Woodbury’s Rock N’ Block is committed to lasting quality.

Homeowners continue to lean into perfecting their outdoor living spaces, and, in a DIY-focused world, it’s tempting to tackle at-home projects on your own. Is that wise? Jacob McClure and John Molnau of Rock N’ Block recommends sticking with the professionals, including their Woodbury-based landscaping business.

“Most of what we do cannot be done correctly unless you have access to heavy equipment and professional-grade products,” McClure says. “The landscape products that are available at box stores are inferior to the products we install.” In addition, the experience and breadth of industry knowledge that their team has equates to quality craftsmanship.

For example, “When building retaining walls and patios, there are measurements and compaction rates that need to be met to ensure lasting integrity,” Molnau says. “This is one of the biggest issues we run into with homeowners.” The Rock N’ Block team’s lead installers and foremen are trained and certified (Certified Allan Block Installers and Segmental Retaining Wall Certifications).

In addition to hardscape projects, the full-service company offers landscape, lawn care, irrigation and snow/ice management services for residential and commercial properties. It has competitive pricing while using state-of-the-art equipment with work that meets or exceeds industry standard practices. “We do not cut corners on installation,” McClure says. “A product from our company may look similar to that of another company, but only one will look the same in 10 years.”—Rock N’ Block’s.

Quality landscaping isn’t just for appearances. “Drainage is one of the biggest challenges we face in Minnesota, especially with spring’s snow melt,” McClure says. “With a proper landscape design, water management (flooding) is addressed, preventing property damage.” Proper landscape management can also discourage unwanted pests from making their way indoors.

Work with Rock N’ Block begins and ends with quality customer service. “We believe in being there for our clients before, during and after installation,” McClure says. “Whether it’s a full landscape renovation, lawn care or snow removal, it’s all equally important.”
