From Humble Beginnings

Scott C. Rozier started his career at a young age building railroad tie and boulder retaining walls for his family’s small landscaping company. By 1991 Scott started building small residential retaining walls as SCR Contracting Company in the St. Louis area with ambition to make a living and perhaps become a successful wall contractor. Starting his business with a rusty pickup truck, a few hand tools and a wheelbarrow, he ran this small business very manually by picking up a single pallets of block at a time, delivering them one at a time, unloading by hand, installing them and going back for more. At one point, Scott built walls at eight homes in a row in one subdivision in North St. Louis County. The block industry was still very new and no block companies wanted to issue him credit from 1991 to 1993 without a solid track record or other credit accounts. Scott used to rent all of the equipment and tools because he did not have the necessary resources to buy them. By 1994 he had saved enough money to purchase a variety of new hand tools, a plate tamper, and other necessities. He also had several employees, and was beginning to do commercial work and the company was beginning to grow. By 1996 SCR Contracting Company, Inc. was running multiple crews and was able to start purchasing necessary heavy equipment and tools to perform larger projects. The company was well on its way to being the premier wall contractor in the St. Louis metro area. Scott learned tough business lessons in the nineties by trial and error. He also knew that this industry was on a launch pad and with hard work and long days it was going to one day pay off. By the end of the nineties, along with the block walls, he also started installing brick pavers and working on the different types of retaining walls including MSE panel walls, creek stabilization, gabion walls, and plantable wall systems. By the year 2000, SCR Contracting Company was the largest wall contractor in St Louis.
