Our landscape work has taken us to all parts of the southwest. During our travels and work we have met many other folks looking to make their outdoor spaces unique and beautiful. Years of experience and love of the outdoors put us in the unique place to supply, install and maintain all aspects of landscaping. We get excited to turn raw materials into finished, installed works of art and helping others vision become a reality.

Bobby Jordan runs the Farmington NM store helping every customer that comes through the door. Bobby keeps the tires on the road and product and materials moving.
Janae Lillywhite grew up at the rock yard and the community knows who she is and the art she can create. People come all over the 4 corners to see Janae and trust her to make their loved one's headstone or memorial stone.
If you receive materials from the stone yard most likely you have met Brian. Delivering heavy materials is a major part of making landscape dreams come true. Brian also does all the stone sandblasting and cutting for special projects.
Ross ran the stone yard as "Lillywhite Stone" for over 55 years. He and his dad started the original "Rock Farm" in 1969. He has come out of retirement to assist in anyway.
We are happy to help with material selection, sourcing, and contractor recommendations!
