Our Story
Crafting memories in stone… It’s our engraving journey.
Deanne Tillotson’s journey with Custom Rock Creations (CRC) began in the fall of 2021. After 13 years of experience at Silverthorn Landscape Supplies, Deanne learned that Cheryl Campbell-Wolny was considering selling the business. Deanne reached out to Cheryl, and by June 2022, the transition was complete. Now, in addition to managing the daily operations of CRC, Deanne travels across Ontario to provide onsite sandblasting and engraving services.
A Little History
Custom Rock Creations was established in 2006 by Cheryl Campbell-Wolny, who saw a growing demand for engraved rock signs. Her first project, “Campbell’s,” set the stage for a flourishing business, with word of mouth helping spread her creations across the countryside. Since its inception, the business has been based at 258 Exeter Road in London, ON. In late spring of 2022, Cheryl sold the business to Deanne Tillotson. As the new owner, Deanne is not only preserving the legacy of Custom Rock Creations but is bringing fresh ideas and innovations to the company.
