History
Report
Rodda & Sons West has its roots in a Seattle business begun by Stewart Rodda in 1937. Stewart had studied painting at the Philadelphia Fine Arts Academy, but with 4 sons and a daughter to provide for, he ended up building models for Boeing and moonlighting as a landscaper. Gradually there developed enough demand for his work that landscaping became his main occupation.

Sandscapes
Report
Foster and his family started entering sandcastles in contests when their children were small and they lived up the beach in Ocean City. A few years after moving to Ocean Shores they built castles for the annual June Sand and Sawdust Contest with both the family and the RSW crew involved. The warmhearted and energetic West Coast Sand Sculpture promoter, Bert Adams, encouraged them to develop their skills and have even more fun shaping these ephemeral beauties.You can see the close teamwork required.
Your Project
Report
The creation of a beautiful and carefully designed landscape is not a project most people are willing to take on by themselves, even if they have green thumbs and know just what they want. Most people are also not aware of the cost of hiring a reputable design/build company to design and install a professional quality landscape.

Gabe came out to give me a bid and time when the work could be done. I didn't hear from him so I called and he said he had a job that is running over. Finally after leaving several messages I called him. He complained about losing money on his current job and made it sound like he no longer wanted to do my job and wanted to up the bid. He said he would get back to me in December and never did.
I had him do a job at another house we use to own and they did good work, but their professionalism and ethics are in question with me. There are several landscapers that do quality work and if you don't want to hear excuses or a shell game I would go with someone else.

Excellent experience. Gabe spent time talking with us, listening to us, & turned our somewhat vague ideas about some needed yard projects into a solid estimate of exactly what would be done & what each part of the project would cost. Really helped us to clarify what we wanted done, how much we could afford. Changes were made, Gabe quickly returned revised estimates & gave excellent advice related to patterns & color as we selected our pavers. Mike, Kerry, Josh & Robert were a great crew, obviously working with a lot of knowledge & skill. Project completed on time & on budget. Beautiful work. Our yard is now amazing! Thanks to all of you!

If I could rate this fine company with 10 stars I would! Gabe and his crew were able to transform our very unsightly yard, (I can't say lawn because there wasn't one!) into a work of art and function. They took the time to really listen to my wife and show her the many options that were available. During the several days that they spent doing the transformation, they didn't stand around wasting time. These guys worked in bad weather and dark days. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone! Thanks guys!
