RCP Block & Brick

I am pleased to say Jeff at RCP in Escondido is exceptional at his job. He helped my friend and I problem solve a confusing mystery of «identifying the pavers in the picture». Together, we solved the mystery, the contractor had selected the wrong pavers to match the current backyard hardscape pavers. Jeff was very, very helpful uncovering the caper and then proceeded to help us select samples of the correct pavers to take back and compare to the backyard. In addition Jeff, helped my friend and I design an edging trim, short wall. There are many sample displays and altogether we had a very productive experience with Jeff and RCP.
Thanks Jeff, for all that you do!

Buyer beware!!!
purchased 7 pallets of retaining wall stone that they delivered. When I took back 8 blocks and 3 empty pallets the yard person was very critical with any dirt on the block and did not give me credit for only 5 block. Because 1 of the pallets did not have RCP stamped on the side they would not give me any credit. I explained that these were the pallets that the stone was delivered on. It did not matter NO credit. The young man behind the counter did not say very much and was RUDE!!!

I was told to go to RCP because of their great customer service. I am sorry to say there office staff (Jeff) if far from charming or helpful. I felt as though i had walked into a place of business a women should be. I will not be doing business with this establishment and will take it else where.

Steve was amazing. He totally helped me out. I was buying pavers, soil, and slate stone for my home project. I was trying to keep my cost down an buy them myself and have my contractor install it. Steve came up with all the amounts of how much material we needed for the job. I totally recommend RCP. They know their XXXX…

RCP is the place for stone and brick, they have everything you need for your next landscaping project minus plants and soil. Located at the corner of Mission and Metcalf they are easy to find. Enter on Mission, exit on Metcalf.
The staff are great and get stuff done fast, they pump through the long lines like champs.
Their selection of bricks and stones is second to none, they have always had what I needed in the amount I needed. They have parking bumpers too.
Pricing is great too.

The guys on the field are great. The office however is another story. You are not even acknowledged as you stand in line for over 20 minutes just to pay. You are forced to wait behind people are arranging special orders when all you need to do is pay and get the hell out of there.

We spent over a thousand dollars with them and ordered brick from a display they had. We assumed when we placed the order we would get the brick we pointed out and asked for. We verified the order on the order sheet. When it arrived to our home all the order brick on the pallets were the light color. We got multiple colors in our shipment and they told us that’s just how it come. They displays are inaccurate and do not show the product you will actually get and they are rude. I am definitely not returning. Even just listening to someone’s concerns goes a long way or acknowledging frustration and this wasn’t done.

We needed about 3 tons of stone/​pebble and ended up looking here at the suggestion of a neighbor. The guys working there couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. One of them walked around with us as we looked and told us pricing info per the bag/​yard depending on how each type was sold.
We found exactly what we were looking for and while we could have probably gotten basic rock from Lowe’s or Home Depot for less, we would have been settling as they just don’t have the same selection.
They delivered it for us on the day we asked, at the time we asked and instead of just dumping it all in 1 pile, he spread it along the length of the area we needed it for which made spreading it out so much easier.

RCP Block & Brick has a great selection for contractors and people who are okay over-​paying for things that you could get from another home improvement store.
We went here to check out their pricing for some patio pavers and we weren’t too impressed with the place. First, to get someone to help is kind of a pain. I was expecting someone to walk us around to look at the different types of stone. Instead we talked to someone at the counter who looked bored and indifferent. He did give us pricing on everything that we asked about, so I can say that our questions were answered. Second, nothing at this place actually has a price on it. Yes, I know that this is an industrial/​construction supply business, but nothing in the store had a price. Gloves display, no price. Tile/​marble/​stone sealant, no price. Hand compactor, no price. I don’t even know if that is legal, but that was what I saw there and it was kind of weird and shady. Third and lastly, after sub-​par service we went to home improvement store and found the exact pavers we were quoted for $ 0.25/ea cheaper.

This is the place to go for all your backyard stone needs. We wanted to build a patio in our backyard by using patio pavers but the selection at Lowes and Home Depot were expensive and bland. Our contractor told us about this place and we were surprised that not only were their pavers better quality but cheaper than Lowes and Home Depot.
One thing to note is that they really don’t have Sales Associates helping customers every step of the way. They seem to cater to contractor or people who know what they are doing.
They have a solid selection of pavers, blocks for retaining walls and several samples of loose gravel. They also have a few locations throughout San Diego. I am happy we found them.
