Building a Rock-Solid Landscaping
Workshop with Trusscore

The Goal: To Upgrade from Makeshift Workspaces to a Premium Workshop

For years, Rock Solid made do with makeshift workspaces, where they made the most of limited resources. Its first 10 years in business saw Rock Solid using a small workshop on a 50-acre farm in Beaver Valley. In 2015, the company purchased seven acres of commercial property on the edge of Eugenia.

“We bought this property in 2015 and we shared it with a log home builder. When we moved here, I didn’t have a building. There was a small building at the back that [the log home builder] used and we worked out of a 40-foot SeaCan. He retired in 2021 and we decided to build a shop in 2022,” explains John. “I wanted to put my roots down here, make an impact in the community, and clean the place up. Neil Watson from Watson Designs designed the workshop and office, and we started the planning process with him.”

John’s plan included creating a polished office and workshop for customers to visit when planning their very own projects. The products and finishes of the space needed to reflect the high-end landscaping work his business offers. 

The Result: A Bright and Clean Space that Earns Compliments from Everybody

“I toured a few other shops that had white steel up, and I thought it was bright and light, but Trusscore is actually much brighter.”

It’s no surprise — Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard panels have a light reflectivity value of 0.90, meaning they reflect 90% of the light that hits them, maximizing all available natural and fixture lighting.

“Everybody comes in and compliments how bright and open it is, it’s great,” John enthuses. “You don’t get the ribbing like you do on steel panels, so you don’t get any shadows. I also like how there’s no fasteners. With steel, you’re going to have screws and you’re going to have screw heads. With Trusscore, you don’t see any of it. It’s much cleaner and more streamlined.”

Plus, Trusscore panels stay clean with low to no effort.

“Steel panels get dirty really quick. [Since Trusscore was installed], we've had the saws going in here —miter saws and table saws — creating lots of dust and stuff. I haven't wiped up the panels once, and they stay clean.”

For Rock Solid Landscapes, Trusscore isn't just a material — it's a game-changer, enabling them to continue sculpting landscapes and redefining possibilities, one project at a time.
