Astonishing Landscape & Design

For the past year I have had a dirt back yard due to some construction. I got the all clear and was finally able to start my landscaping. I reached out and got a few quotes over yelp and a lot of denials due to my location, Maricopa.

1. The owner George was very responsive and always kept me up to date.
2. We talked over the phone and he came out. He measured everything, asked questions, and helped me get out into words the design I wanted.
3. The only delay I faced was rain which is outside of his control and he was here the next day working.
4. His pricing was reasonable and did not make me wait weeks to start this project. From the day he came to give the quote, he was here the following week already working.

I am so appreciative for how quickly he began the project and finished it. As someone who has had a dirt back yard for a year and 4 dogs, it was stressful. He lifted all of that and made my yard something we can enjoy again. I 10/10 recommend him and his team to help you with your next project!

Please ignore the mess but I had to share: George from Astonishing Landscape & Design, LLC and his crew did AMAZING today. Truly exceeded my expectations on price, quality, and responsiveness.
If you're looking for someone to order and install pavers, George is your guy!

RIPPED OFF!
They did not finish the job they were payed to do. I was told they would come back at a later date to finish and they never returned....he even seemed irritated when I was texting and calling him. I have all the text messages to prove this guy is a liar and ripped me off. The partial irrigation system they installed started to leak after a few months. DO NOT pay this man until the job is 100% complete....or, just save your time and go with a better and more honest landscaper.

We hired this company to do yard work and just clean up the yard from weeds, grass, and trim the trees. The first time they did a good job, the second time was not the best but it was okay. We made a deal with the owner George to come monthly. The third time George came by himself with no other works. He did the bare minimum, left all these weeds, and did not even finish cutting the grass in parts of the yard. He did not trim any of the trees. When we tried to contact him, he didn't respond to any calls or texts. We even gave him snacks and water, which he ate and drank and threw the garbage in the backyard on the ground. He left that morning without saying anything. We sent him pictures of our yard and the trash he left, he never responded or returned any calls.

Definitely unprofessional and wouldn't recommend this company to do your yard work. There are companies that can do a better job and actually pull the weeds from the ground instead of just mowing over them and leaving all these dead weeds everywhere. There was no sort of clean up, just basically cut grass and left.

You definitely get ripped off from this guy. Do not pay him until after the job you hired him for is actually complete. He never does the job fully and it doesn't even get done good.

I highly recommend George and his crew! We had two oleanders that were diseased and needed to be removed. I got several quotes and theirs was the best and he stuck to it. He was very responsive and helpful and they worked quickly and did an amazing job. Really great costumer service and great work. Will definitely be using them again!

This company does great work. The owner promptly responds when contacted. They show up when they said they would arrive. They are friendly, professional and fast.

The team was responsive and did exactly what we discussed. We will be calling them again for our future landscaping plans.

Astonishing Landscaping is astonishingly terrible and don't even know landscaping 101. George is the worst landscaper I have ever hired across all 10 states I have lived. He didn't even complete the job he was paid for or clean up the terrible job he did do. He literally did half of the job he was paid for only to leave mid way and  never to be heard of again. If you desperately need to hire George, make sure to pay George AFTER the work is complete and don't make the mistake I did by paying up front because you really do need to verify that the job you paid for is complete, just absolutely terrible.

I have used George 3+ times in the last year and he has never disappointed. He is very responsive, even with new customers and always does a great job. I feel I can trust him to be transparent and to do what's right. Unfortunately, I'm sure I will need  him to come out again (due to my sprinkler situation), but at least I know I can expect trustworthy service and great work.

I am very pleased with the work George and his crew did with my last minute yard cleanup!!

I requested a quote and George responded quickly and was able to get the job done really fast from the time he came to give the quote and the price was great too!

I will definitely be using this company again for projects I have coming up soon!!

George was great. He answered my cry for help in a timely manner and was able to come same day and fix the issue.  He was professional and courteous and provided great advice.  

Thanks for saving the day !!!

This Company does great work! They cleaned/landscaped the front and backyard, and it looks wonderful. George is very nice are friendly and pricing is very reasonable.

We were so happy with the work that they did in the front and backyard that they will be doing our landscaping on a monthly basis.

I used him. Did a very poor job! Didn't blow the property well. Blew debris under bushes

Best landscaping company I've ever used over the years.Very satisfied and astonished on the job done in professional manner and staff were very determined to help customers get performance and quality work like they deserve every day. Very professional company for sure!!

I had mixed feelings about how I wanted to rate this company.  
The good- George is a nice guy, returned my message pretty quick and came out the next day to look at my yard and gave me a quote.  Took about 3 weeks from that initial visit for them to start my project (which I thought was great because at these times, most companies seem to be booked out for months and are not even taking on any new projects.)

The bad- once the project was started, the completion of it kept getting pushed back- he would text me on the day when he was scheduled to come, and would say he would come the following week instead.  This happened 4 times.
Our project consisted of paver placement to widen our driveway and to create a pathway to our side gate, as well as paver steps leading up to our front door pathway.  Design was great.  Quality of work was poor.  There wasn't enough cement applied on the sides of the pavers on the side pathway initially, so the pavers shifted. He did fix this, but when I also looked at the cement applied to the edge of the extended driveway, I have concerns that it isn't going to hold...we'll see how that goes.  There also wasn't enough sand applied in between the pavers- I ended up doing this myself.  The steps that were made for us looked great, but after he completed the work and moved all the rock back, I discovered later that evening that several of the pavers easily come off and were not glued in properly.  I told George about it and it's been 2 weeks and he never texted me back.  Oh and he says there's no surprise costs, but he tacked on another $75 at the very end without advance notice for the steps because it took more work than expected. He didn't even replant my agave that he said he would move for me in the beginning.  I ended up fixing and doing everything myself to make sure things were actually done right and done well.

I would be wary of using this company- they seem to start projects quickly, probably so that you're stuck using them, but quality and completion may not be as expected.

Thank you George and team :) very pleasant to work and provides an overall wonderful experience. Recommended!!!

I was getting the run around for over two months from my pool builder to repair damage to my front landscaping & irrigation. So, I called George and he came thru for us! He was very busy, but committed to getting the job done, and we were very pleased with the service. We're even scheduling future projects with Astonishing. Give him a call!

My husband and I were very pleased with George and his great crew, initially. We really liked them a lot.
However, we had saved up a lot of money and had recently put in artificial grass. Shortly thereafter, we had George and his crew do the landscaping again (trimming trees, blowing leaves, trimming bushes, etc.)  I did not know I had to tell them ahead of time to not lay their hot equipment on the artificial grass, as that would surely melt it. I, unfortunately, assumed they knew this.
When I checked the landscaping job the next day, I saw a tell-tale melted spot on my brand new artificial grass. (Tell-tale, as in it was in the shape of a leaf blower.) When I asked George about what had happened, he immediately denied any wrong doing and made up a story about telling his brother ( not the owner of the house, mind you), saying that he saw the marks before he started the work. So, as a landscaper, wouldn't you bring that up to the attention of the owner BEFORE you did any landscaping?  Besides, we have NOTHING that could have caused such damage. We never leave ANYTHING on that artificial grass and our windows have shade screens.
Long story, short... they lied about the damage. They agreed to not receive payment for that days' landscaping. But, here we are with major melted damage to our.artificial grass. They never admitted to their mistake and did not pay for the damage.

Word to the wise: Take photos before and after any work done.

Planted two trees plus added irrigation to them. Did an amazing job. Next will be pavers.

Wow do they know their stuff!  We have them coming every month now!

He responded quickly and gave me a good quote. However, he canceled twice and didn't show up to do the work.

This is an updated review. I was always very pleased with the work George did for me over the past 3 years, from hauling and spreading rock to putting in a drip system to planting shrubs. My rating was 5 stars. But I am very disappointed that he has never responded to any of my attempts at contact since he last did a job for me in March. I questioned how effective his pre-emergent spraying of my yard was, as the weeds were back within two weeks. At the very least, I would have expected him to come out and redo it. But instead, it appears I have been dropped as a customer. So my new rating is lower due to no attempt to make this right on his part.

This spring we needed our front and backyard cut way back. After living in our house 10 years, our bushes had become too bulky. We asked for them to be cut down to a bare minimum. We have asked this same job of other companies in years past and they never seemed to get it just right. Astonishing Landscape did exactly what we asked for! Finally, a company listened to what we wanted and executed the job with no hesitation. It's like we were given a fresh start.

Also, they replaced some irrigation piping and system needs that had succumbed to years of exposure. Once we turned our system back on for regular watering we realized one of the new mechanisms was an out-of-the-box failure. Astonishing Landscape returned within 24 hours and replaced the part. Our system is working wonderfully and we couldn't be happier.

Did a great job on first an irrigation issue and then cleaning up my back yard that included taking out a grass infestation trimming back bushes and cleaning up some trees. Did the work quick and looked great.

I could have not found a better company for the job. Very reliable and professional. I highly recommend to anyone needing these services. Thank you all so much.

Bottom line up front, this company was quick to respond to my initial quote and provided reasonable prices.

George does not charge a diagnostic fee (unlike other companies I called) and was determined to fix my sprinkler system. There was a bit of a hiccup, since we couldn't pinpoint the exact problem, however George worked tirelessly to find the solution! He has good work ethics provides high-quality work and is a man of his words.

George was able to remedy all my lawn problems and now my lawn is back to normal!  

Thanks for the hard work! I will definitely contract Astonishing Landscape and Design for the future should I need George's services.

George the owner replied to my request quickly and also came next day! I had a broken sprinkler line. He was really nice and fixed it quickly. I would recommend him and his business!

Updating from my previous review, after install, equipment failed and George and his team attempted to repair however couldn't figure out the issue. Unable to connect me with people who could help resolve it and stopped communication with me leaving me with a massive problem without a solution. Worked with another company who diagnosed the issue within minutes and deemed the install as cheap and unsustainable over time. Another company completely redid this company's installation. Would not recommend.

This crew did the work as promised on time and without any changes to the budget for the project. Had my entire front drip system replaced plants pulled and replaced and re-rocked the entire front. Awesome service great communication first rate job. Will surely use Astonishing for all my landscaping needs

I will be calling George for all future landscaping jobs. George and his crew did a great job cleaning up the front and back yards at my home. His crew had the big job of removing a dead queen palm and then replacing it with a beautiful pigmy palm. He also tackled repairing my sprinkler system. George and his crew were very professional and courteous. Thanks again George.

Glad I found George and his company to take care of a backyard project that needed to get done quickly.  George removed about 420+ sq feet of sod and capped off irrigation to our backyard as we get ready to build a pool.   He was efficient, very thorough and very fair priced!  I will not hesitate to call Astonishing Landscape again.

George was quick to respond to our messages to request an evaluation.  He came out the very next day to do the initial eval for our front lawn, which badly needed to be weeded, plants trimmed (it was a jungle), to pull out a rogue palm type tree that sprouted last year, and to do a sprinkler check. We did our best to weed, but we still got the dreaded notification from the HOA.  We just needed someone to come out and do a one-time maintenance on our yard to be compliant. We contacted other companies, but most did not respond back or they could not come out to do a quick eval.   Although the initial appointment was postponed and rescheduled, George did accommodate and he came out three days earlier when an opening came up.  Communication with him throughout this experience was good; we never had to wonder or wait too long for a follow-up.  They did a fantastic job with the yard and they even swept up our courtyard!  He advised us that our yard only needed maintenance every two months and so we will call upon him again to maintain our yard going forward.

Can't say enough good things about George and Astonishing Landscape.  They were there early in the morning and took out a few stumps, put down artificial grass as well as rock in about ten hours. George took the time to show me what he was doing and checked with me about any issues while completing the work. I highly recommend Astonishing Landscape and Design. I plan to use them again for any future projects.

George and his guys were great. The beginning process was very simple, George came out gave me an estimate on my yard work, I accepted the job and the pricing was very reasonable. He offered to come out the next day, his guys showed up on time, eliminating all of the unwanted weeds and grass, and cleaned up well. I agreed to continue using them on a monthly basis as they were very professional and showed excellent work. Thank you George!

George was fast and prompt with the response! He got the job done just as described and his price was very reasonable. I recommend George for any kind of landscape work!

I needed to do some yard cleaning, sprinkler repair, plant my satsuma orange, and George did it all!! I will now consider him my yard handyman, and I will definitely call him when I need more work done..

Came out and cleaned up my yards. Showed up on the day and time he said he would, and even care back to fix a couple things a few days later. Definitely looking forward to using him again.

Quick response for a quote and came out within a week of the initial quote to complete the job.  Just needed sprinklers to be moved and capped.  Friendly and thorough.

Where to start I commission astonishing landscape and design to come out and provide me a quote to landscape my front yard tear out all the existing gravel and put more up-to-date gravel remove a couple mesquite trees with a few bushes. I was on a limited budget George the owner explain to me as far as we could stretch it as far as material and labor and delivered a phenomenal end result project. From start to finish my experience with them was top notch started the project on time and finished on budget. I strongly recommend astonishing landscape and design for any Landscaping needs. George the owner it was a pleasure working with him. Thank you astonishing landscape and design.

George and the guys showed up on time and finished the work in less time than they said time it would. I highly recommend him to anybody who needs yard work done and at a less lower price than you think it would cost. They replaced my whole dripper system and hardware in a day and a half.

George came out to give an estimate on some irrigation repairs. He was very professional and knowledgeable so I had him give me quote for bi-weekly maintenance which was very reasonable. I discussed specific details of how we like our half acre lot to be maintained and he has followed through without needing to be reminded. We have tried several landscaping companies in the past and have not been satisfied until now. The Astonishing Landscape crew shows up as scheduled and does a great job. We are extremely happy with the service and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Best landscapper ever!!!! Gave me great pricing, responds quickly and was a generally nice person to work with! Definitely recommend!!

These guys are great! I was so impressed with how George listened to our needs and made applicable suggestions while keeping our budget in mind. He does things right! Then, his guys that came out with him were great as well! They did all that was promised and then even more all while confirming with us to make sure their ideas all worked with our plan. I can tell the whole crew cares about people. Even the squirrel that they sent up in our trees to trim them from the inside. I can see why they gave him that nickname for sure. I have already recommended them to a friend as well because they are that good. Thank you to George and crew for your dedicated hard work and fair pricing. It is refreshing to see a business with such great values.

We recently hired George and his team to remove two old, decaying sumac trees. We were immediately impressed with the care that George provided in detailing the scope of work, and in confirming our happiness with the completed project! George was also very honest, kind and considerate of our wishes - he provided his recommendations and was able to give us reasonable quotes in no time. We will happily be using Astonishing Landscape & Design for an upcoming project that will include installing a sprinkler system, sod installation, path pavers and more.

George and his crew are professional, honest, and perform great work. George came out personally to give me the most accurate quote possible. They stuck to the timeline and exceeded my expectations!

Awesome job! Highly recommend them! Great prices and George is super nice. Took his time and went through the yard and we talked about what we wanted. Super fast response time also which is great. Reccomended him to my family.

My drip system would not turn off and was costing us who knows how much money, not to mention all the wasted water.  George was able to diagnose my issue over the phone on a Friday and he even offered to come by on a Sunday to fix it but I was out of town. He came on Monday, sooner than I expected which was perfect and was able to fix the issue in under an hour. The price was more than fair and he was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely use him again for any type of sprinkler repair/replacement.

George is wonderful to work with! First, he was quick to respond to 2 projects we needed estimates with. When we had our sprinkler line fixed he thoroughly explained every step along the way and the work was done efficiently. We  would definitely recommend his services!

They did a great job cleaning up our trees after some storm damage. Work was completed quickly and yard was clean when they were done.  Will definitely use them again to keep our trees trimmed and if we have any further damaged trees.

Astonishing Landscape did a great job removing a tree that came down during storm. I went on Yelp Saturday night and George replied promptly and gave me a quote from pictures I sent. He sent out his crew first thing Monday morning just as he said. Everything was cleaned up and I'm very pleased with the service they did. I would recommend them to anyone.
