RCP Block & Brick

Great selection and really helpful. I’ve called about 6 times with follow up questions on how to construct a retaining wall, and always get polite and helpful answers. They were also very helpful in choosing brick and pebbles for in front of the wall.

I have purchased three 70 lb. bags of landscaping rocks on two occasions and both times received friendly and informative service. My purchases were small ones, but I was treated as well as if I was buying truckloads. Additionally, fair prices and good selection of materials make RCP outstanding. Thanks.

Was recommended to RCP by our landscape architect for pavers, wall block, boulders for a yard renovation.
The sales staff has been really easy to work with. Giving us information about the different types of blocks and pavers they offer, showing us samples, answering questions, etc.
I’ve had to call in a couple times to get information from my quotes and everyone was very helpful and got my answers quickly.
We’ve ordered gravel, sand, wall blocks, and pavers and the ordering process is easy and can be done over the phone if you’ve already been in to have a quote written.
Delivery is pretty quick and you get some of your money back when you return the pallets.
Price is cheaper than big box home repair stores!
Would definitely recommend RCP to anyone with hardscape needs!

Dropped in here today to pick up some mulch and gravel.
Very organized system they have with a friendly, helpful staff.

Word of caution… specifically ask about their return policy. Tried to return two unopened cans of Henrys sealer here today. Guess what, not returnable. Yeah our policy doesn’t allow the return of liquids. Ok but your written policy on the receipt doesn’t say a word about that and I wasn’t told that at purchase. Was going by to spend another 2 thousand dollars here cause I wasn’t done with my project, but will find somewhere else to go now. Shady.

We purchased 6 bags of rock from this company twice. The first time was fine. The second time 2 of them had been opened and retied shut. We wondered if they still had the same amount of rock as the unsealed bags but assumed they would not try to cheat us. However once we got home and unloaded the bags, we could tell the resealed bags were significantly lighter. We did not appreciate this. We don’t like not getting what we paid for. Why not tell us they had some opened bags with less rocks and give us the option of purchasing them at a discount? They have a scale because they weigh rocks and boulders so it’s not like they wouldn’t know they had less rock in them. Each bag costs $ 12 so it was not worth the effort to drive back to Encinitas from Oceanside. I’m not saying they don’t have good points but buyer beware.

Thanks for a better quality stone for our pavers than home depot or lowes could offer and A MUCH BETTER PRICE! Do not waste your time or money at home depot or lowes when there are professionals like these guys around!

Worse customer service I’ve ever experienced. As a customer we have been here twice, both times we had to wait for 30 – 40 minutes before being helped. The first time we told them we wanted pavers and needed to order the prep materials but didn’t know what we needed. The sold us gravel and sand. Sounded right to us. When they delivered the gravel looked like much bigger pieces than we expected, we asked if this was right for pavers and driver said yes. Well my husband did the prep and filled with gravel to save money. The contractor came and took one look and said that they sold us the wrong gravel. The sand was ok to use but he commented that they sold us the most expensive stuff.
Well we went down there and explained what happened (after waiting 40 minutes) and before hearing us out he quickly said he’d need to check with the rep who sold to us but wasn’t working there for another couple days. He treated us like we lied about it and didn’t offer any advice or help. Not even apologetic. Now we have to pay someone to dig out expensive gravel that we don’t even need and buy the correct materials. WARNING — do not buy from RCP!!! You will be very sorry

I was looking for some boulders for landscaping my yard, they had a great selection of sizes and many types of rock. Staff was helpful loading the ones I liked, weighed them for me and helped me load them into my truck. Everyone was friendly, patient and professional.
Best part was the price, my purchase cost me less then what I was expecting to pay. I’m very pleased and will recommend this place to all my friends.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rick answered all my questions with tons of patience. I’ve done a landscape project and a fireplace project with their materials and their selection and prices were great.

I was very impressed with the level of customer service, their associates are all very knowledgable and are all willing to take the time to make sure your purchase is well worth it. Shane Nelson in particular helped us construct several projects that were all a huge success. Thank you RCP!

Friendly, helpful staff.

Good place for rock and brick. Just don’t special order — delivery fees and chance of breakage very high…

If you have not been here before, it takes a second to learn the buying process. You find someone with a forklift, getting your materials and then writing you a ticket that you take inside and pay.
Once I got the attention of a staff member they were extremely helpful and nice. I thought their prices were very reasonable and the staff friendly and knowledgeable.
I will go back there for future projects.

This store has been very helpful with my wall project. All the guys behind the counter are fast and don’t mind looking prices up. The guys working the yard do a super job of loading and making sure you have everything you need. I’ll go back for my next yard project.

i always assumed that this place would be super pricey… so i had never even been here. My sister just redid all 3 fireplaces in her house and purchased some material from home depot… then she came here for the 3^rd fireplace and realized that the things she bought were cheaper here! so we are redoing our 2^nd, and last, fireplace and loved the stacked stone my sis got for hers… so we came here… there was sooo much selection of stacked stone! all different colors, shades and finishes… wow! and they were all done on a wall so you could see the finished product.
the staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful… they were able to show us other matching pieces to accent what we had already selected.
heads up though… no returns… so better to buy less than you need than too much… this is not Costco!

Stay away.
I bought some marble white rock from them, and they dumped rock mixed up with sand. When I complained that my yardage was severely reduced by the sand, instead of taking away their crap they offered some bags of marble white to make up for it. Except those bags had even more sand than the crap they dumped on my driveway. So now I have a whole bunch of ‘rocks” that I used to put on top of weed block to prevent weeds from growing, only now the weeks are growing on the rock cause there is sand on top of the week block. Lots of good those rocks did.

I visit this RCP location fairly often and always have a great experience. The employees are helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. The location is convenient and they have a variety of products to see. Keep up the good work, RCP-​Encinitas!
