About our future

We chose River Rock as our name because those colorful, smooth stones represent the years it takes nature to create something beautiful.

Cody Gilstrap
River Rock Water Gardens was founded in 2017 by Cody and Lauren Gilstrap. Cody has many years of experience with water gardens and ponds through his previous landscaping company Northeast Landscaping llc. Native to rocky Northeastern Oklahoma, Cody grew up loving the creeks and large boulders that fell across the landscape. Cody worked with the rocks to create movement patterns in water that mimics the natural landscape. Becoming more passionate about incorporating water features into landscape designs, Cody now operates River Rock Water Gardens which specializes in water features and lake management, a dream and passion that has become reality.
