RSC Landscape

RSC Landscape, formerly known as Robert S. Cruikshank Landscaping, traces its roots back to its founder, Robert S. Cruikshank, who established the company in 1993. Upon Robert's retirement, the company transitioned to a new generation, with some of his employees taking over the reins.
While embracing change, we remain steadfast in upholding the core values of the company: relationships, respect, responsibility and reputation.
Marisol Otero and Noah Pitts assumed the role of General Managers, preserving the majority of the original company staff while embracing modernization through technological advancements and updated machinery to enhance processes and keep pace with the evolving industry.
We specialize in crafting a diverse range of outdoor installations to enhance gardens and outdoor spaces, such as: concrete, masonry stone, metalwork, rough and fine carpentry, architectural finishes, among others.
At RSC Landscape, we understand that successful landscape projects rely on effective teamwork. We collaborate closely with our clients and their designers/architects throughout all project stages. We love to be on board at the pre-design or design phase to offer expert guidance on creating stunning, functional landscapes that align with our clients' desires while ensuring they are feasible and crafted to the highest standards of quality.

From BuildZoom:

RSC Landscape at 1400 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709, held a Landscape Contractor license (#608865) with the California contractors license board with an expiration date of 11-30-2024. We last verified the license was expired on 04-15-2026.

If you’re thinking about hiring them, we recommend double-checking their license status with your local licensing authority. Alternatively, use our project planner to be easily matched to qualified, licensed professionals in your area.

    My family has worked with Robert Cruikshank since we bought our house twenty years ago for every landscaping job imaginable. There is no need to think about anyone else. He is totally helpful and on time with everything and his crew is highly qualified and super friendly.

    Two different major landscaping projects.

    Robert has done two different major landscaping projects for us. Both turned out beautifully. The last project was our front yard in Orinda. He had to terrace and build retaining walls, he created a new front porch paved area, a number of planting areas, and planted over a hundred succulents and other drought resistant plants. He also installed a large fountain, installed irrigation, and created new and lovely fencing. He is extremely professional and reliable. You simply cannot find a better contractor. Honestly, I use him as the standard that I demand from other contractors.

    landscaping

    Robert Cruikshank worked on a landscaping project for us, a redesign of our side and back yards. We have been enjoying the results for 5 years now, particularly the stonework.

    major landscaping project including replacing retaining walls

    Robert Cruikshank is the best contractor I've ever worked with. He gives you a detailed plan and cost after determining your needs. If issues come up he consults and presents different options. He keeps the paperwork updated so you are never in the dark on where you are in the project. I would recommend him for any landscaping project without reservation and would hire him for any future projects.

    Entire re-landscape
    $10,000

    Bob Crankshaft completely re-landscaped our home – front, back and sides, plants and irrigation. He did an outstanding job, for a reasonable price, on time, and if you want to look at it, ask Bob for my contact info - Pete in Lafayette.
