Reviews
i put an inquiry on Yelp to several landscaping companies. Yavapai Landscaping and one other company responded. i set up an initial meeting with both companies. the other company was no call-no show.
Justice with Yavapai called several times. she set up an appt with me and Nathaniel came to my property. Nathaniel was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Nathaniel made some recommendations to improve my properties landscaping and gave me a reasonable price to get the work done.
I was really happy with Yavapai Landscaping and have hired them a second time and recommended their service to friends. I would highly recommend Yavapai Landscaping!

We recently completed our landscape project with Yavapai Landscaping after considering several companies to do the work. Ted who was our contact for the project listened to what we wanted to create and helped us fine tune all of the details we wanted included. Hugo and his crew were TOP TIER Artists and their workmanship was 2nd to NONE!!! I have done many landscape projects over the years and by far this was the most satisfying and finely executed one I have ever done. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted and his team to anyone looking for PERFECTION!!! Thank you Team Yavapai!!! :)
We are so happy!!
Just moved to a new build in Chino Valley and needed our entire acre landscaped to help with the quicksand mud that was present. When calling around to get quotes, Nathan got right back to us and was able to come out a couple of days later to discuss the project. He was able to give us a preliminary quote on the spot along with providing a visual of the design via drone photos which was so helpful!
As we are new to the area and had a blank slate to work with, we were a little overwhelmed about what should happen first, how we should prioritize, which plants/trees would thrive, best material options, etc. Once we had our design, he brought out various samples for us to choose from along with the education on differences between products and allowed us to choose pressure free. He really listened and incorporated our wants and we are super happy with the outcome.
Walter and the team were phenomenal! Their #1 priority was to make sure we were happy by having us review the work at various steps. They ALWAYS had smiles on their face and were so pleasant. We implemented a specialty item that was thought about halfway through the project and they took our changes in stride. They asked if it was ok to work from sunup to sundown, (we gave our permission of course) and they were never in our way or bothersome which was much appreciated. I have never seen a team work as hard as they did AND enjoy themselves while doing it!
When missteps happened, which almost always do in projects, either Nathan or the team would bring it up to us before we had a chance to notice and would let us know what they were going to do to remedy the issue. Very trustworthy and accountable.
It was very important to us to bring in the right trees and plants that would thrive in our area, have diversity and bring in pollinators. Cheyenne took the challenge head on and brought out a plethora of options. After educating me about each plant, she didn't bat an eye when I said no to certain ones or pushed me to accept others.
We are actually going to miss seeing the guys now that the project is over!
If there were minus stars I would check those. The owner Nathaniel is an arrogant man who does not keep his word. Last June, his crew was sent out and did an unprofessional job without knowledge of proper pruning techniques. They also chopped off 5' Lilac bushes that were beautiful and ones my mother had planted many years ago. When I called to make him aware of that and many other unfinished issues, he said he would have new Lilac bushes planted. He failed to do that and when I recently confronted him regarding that, he said he wouldn't follow through. Can't trust this company or their expertise or lack of. I spent $4600 on the job and am terribly dissatisfied.
If I could give negative stars I would. There should be other options, seriously. I am going to only include the most serious documented violation (there are so many problems). Two gas line extensions were installed under a paver patio. No permits (obviously not inspected) were completed. Three weeks of constant badgering by Yavapai for full payment but no response on unsatisfactory workmanship issues. (Balance owed was 10% of contract). Gas could have potentially been shut off to entire home for weeks. Thankfully because the line they tapped into was separate, this was avoided. But I cannot use my BBQ indefinitely.
The entire paver patio will need to be removed so the gas lines can be inspected and pressure tested.
As previously mentioned, only one of many, many problems. I will update as additional issues are verified by the contractors board and ROC.
I wish I could do negative stars but I cant because this keeps getting better. Had someone out today because I am not longer getting water through the hose that connects the valve to my back yard. Somewhere there is a kink in the line, but when I was the company that came out to try and fix this nightmare I noticed that the line was spliced just before it went under the wall going into my back yard. They didn't replace the line going into my back yard line I asked them too when they first installed the system. They cut corners just like before. At this point I am about to have the whole system ripped out and replaced. I should not be having this many issues in a system that is only a few years old.
P.S. Nathan (owner) I haven't had a fucking drink in over 15 years. Your business cuts corners and does not stand by their product. I am a 20 year decorated Veteran and your comment is absolutely Disgusting and will never recommend your business and I will post this review on every single review site I can find as well as every Veteran board, Veteran organization, Facebook ect. You should of NEVER made that alcoholic comment. Just goes to character I guess. Have a wonderful day.
Wish we'd paid more attention to this company's reviews on Yelp regarding poor customer service. Called them, an estimator came out and spent almost an hour reviewing our landscaping needs, including water management, which we figured would cost more than $12k. When casually asked when we would see a quote, he replied By the time you wake up tomorrow. Wow.
It's now several weeks later. We never received a quote or any other contact from Yavapai Landscaping, despite two follow-up phone calls answered by a woman who told us she would let the estimator know we had called. A simple Thank you for your interest but we've decided not to quote would have been fine. Once we realized we had been stiffed, we contacted another landscape company (better rated on both Google and Yelp), received a quote and engaged their services. Suggest anyone interested in good service do the same.
We worked with Ted Ferris to design and install our landscaping in the front and back of our home in April of 2022. We live in an HOA community, therefore we have some semi-strict rules that needed to be followed, and Ted and crew were more than happy to accommodate.
You can tell that Ted is super passionate about his job, which made me feel at ease, that I wasn't just being sold some product mix to increase sales. I felt that Ted genuinely cared that Yavapai Landscaping understood our vision for our yard front and back, and after some design change edits, we ultimately decided to go with Yavapai.
Ted's installation crew was extremely professional and cared very much about making sure I was happy with the work they were doing throughout the process. Im very pleased with the end result of this landscape install. If I have to install new landscaping again the future, the first call Im going to make is to Ted.
Lastly (and probably most importantly), I felt the cost was extremely competitive, especially compared to some of the quotes we got from other installers.
Very professional! Gave me a better idea, which was great, but several of their competitors came in with a much better price.

We hired Yavapai Landscaping a few months ago in Prescott Valley. They did exactly what we asked them to and we could not be happier with the work they did. They listened to our vision and gave us suggestions when we needed guidance from professionals. We highly recommend Yavapai Landscaping to anyone who wants an excellent landscaping job done.
Excellent landscaping company. Excellent work at a reasonable price. Special thanks to Ted, and Cesar and his crew for doing an awesome job. I highly recommend Yavapai Landscaping. Definitely a 5 star company

We chose Yavapai Landscaping upon the recommendation of our neighbors. We had a large L-shaped lot which did not lend itself to an easy design. Despite that, Ted Ferris, the business manager and a true visionary, developed a beautiful design within a few days and he incorporated every specific request I had made, e.g., artificial turf and a small pool for our dog, planting areas and a gazebo oriented toward a lovely view of Glassford Hill. The masterful design included infrastructure to handle water runoff, irrigation, landscape lighting, beautiful handmade trellises and an extraordinary water feature.
Once we had approved the design, Mr. Ferris put his team to work immediately under the supervision of Hugo Sandoval, and what a pleasure it was to watch their team working together seamlessly. They worked tirelessly, placing huge heavy boulders and landscape rock and plantings exactly where Mr. Ferris had indicated, often working from sunrise to after sunset. Candidly I had never seen a team work so hard yet at the same time so efficiently and in such harmony. They were completely reliable, meticulous and perfectionists in every aspect of their work.
We could not be happier with the result and would give Mr. Ferris, Mr. Sandoval and Yavapai Landscaping our very highest recommendation.
We recently had our backyard landscaping done by Yavapai Landscaping. Simply Awesome!! ... We could NOT be more pleased. It came out even better than we had anticipated. Ted Ferris provided outstanding guidance and suggestions throughout the process. Yavapai did all of the coordination to obtain HOA approval for the design. Made it so easy.
After our initial plan had been worked in the backyard, we were so satisfied, that we decided to include some add-ons in the front yard. We have to say that Ted Ferris' crew, led by Hugo, is the hardest working landscaping crew that we have ever seen ... working sunrise to sunset. Dustin was exceptional in coordinating the gas line upgrade work (with UniSource and also City inspectors), plus handling a few other project tasks.
Several of our neighbors were so impressed with Yavapai Landscaping's work that they also chose Yavapai Landscaping. If you are in the market for any landscaping project, we highly recommend Yavapai. In our experience, it gets NO better!!
First let me say Yavapai Landscaping changed our home into a beautiful home! We initially used another company about 8 months ago. After problem after problem my wife and I decided to go with a complete redo. We heard about Yavapai landscaping from our neighborhood. Everyones homes looked so nice that used Yavapai.
We gave them a call. Ted came out. We went over everything in a couple hours.The work started 4 weeks later.
The job went flawlessly. Everything we wanted was done. Actually, it went beyond our expectations. The crew were very nice and very respectful of our property. Our home looks fantastic! We get compliments on it regularly. We now love sitting in our backyard and enjoying our home!
Thank you Yavapai Landscaping!!!!! We pass your name on to anyone who asks for a great landscaper.
We selected Yavapai landscaping for our new Prescott home because we were impressed with the quality and artistic look of other projects they had done in our neighborhood. From our first call to them the company was very responsive, organized, and punctual. Sales Manager Ted Ferris did a great job listening and made great suggestions to realize our vision. The crew, led by Chilo, was fabulous. They made requested adjustments and were true artists in building a rock wall and river, and the front and back paver work. Julie met us at the nursery, helped us select plants and trees, and did an awesome job positioning them in our yard. They worked hard from beginning to end. The end result is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Yavapai Landscaping!!!
We recently purchased a new home in Prescott and needed landscaping. We contacted a few landscaping companies and finally decided to go with Yavapai Landscaping in Prescott. So glad we did! From the initial design and planning stages working with Ted to the final installation with Cesar and his crew everything turned out fantastic! Ted was very patient with us even when we kept changing design plans and together we came up with a beautiful yard! Cesar and his crew were on time every day and worked hard to bring us the yard of our dreams. We would definitely recommend Yavapai Landscaping.
This is a second review. The first was 2 stars due to issues with the construction issues and delays and no follow-up to my calls, Emails and a registered letter. After posting reviews in several sites I was contacted and the owner, one of his supervisors and an office person came to my home to address my issues. They admitted that they had failed to follow-up and had missed my communications. They agreed to fix the issues I had.
Last Friday they came to my home and fixed my patio problems. The paver patio and stairs are now as contracted. We love our backyard. I would have given them 5 stars except for the communication snafu.
The office staff was very helpful through the entirety of the project. With a sales team that has a keen eye for detail and a passion for what they do. The crew that preformed the installation were quick and nothing short of experienced craftsman. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for fair quality work.
Yavapai Landscaping is top notch and did an amazing job on my new home landscaping in Prescott!
The entire team were professional, responsive and very detail oriented.
Ted was so helpful in the design process and worked closely with me to come up with the perfect design!
The work crews were awesome and took great pride in their work.
I am so happy I selected them for the job and so proud when a stranger knocks on the door to see who did my landscaping !
100% satisfied customer!
Ted and his crew did a wonderful job landscaping my new home in Prescott. The workers arrived at 7:00 every day and worked until the sun went down.
They even cleaned up after themselves daily. Prices may be slightly higher than most but you get what you pay for. Quality was excellent. I have had numerous compliments on my yard and I am very pleased with the final results. I would highly recommend this company. You won't be disappointed.
Ted Ferris from Yavapai Landscaping has great vision that exceeds expectation. He had great suggestions for my pavers that surround my home and my driveway. The pavers are so beautiful that everyone who sees them are in awe.
His team of skilled installers are the best. Their work is so precise, I wish the did flooring! They take care of your property and the clean up afterwards is great. They leave you with a beautiful new outdoor look for your home.
Yavapai Landscaping met and exceeded our expectations. The end result was exceptional, the crews kept the job clean at the end of each day, the work was completed in a timely manner and ultimately, the value for the quality was outstanding! Ted Ferris, the PM, and Cesar, the foreman were nimble to changes we made during the work. We may be biased, but we believe our landscaping outshines the landscaping in our neighborhood of excellent landscaping.
When we were interviewing landscapers and driving around looking at the work they each had completed, Yavapai Landscaping stood out, which is one of the reasons we choose them over the others. Some other reasons was their honesty, creativeness and responsiveness.
Ted's Yavapai crew installed all our initial front and back landscaping last June. An issue recently developed with a young tree needing reinforcing. When Ted became aware of the issue, he sent Caesar to correct the problem on the same day. Thanks to all

Seldom do I award a five star for anything on Yelp but Yavapai Landscaping would rate a seven star rating were I able to do so. They are simply the best at what they do. The landscape advisor, Ted Ferris, came promptly at our first meeting. Since we are new to the area, we needed advice about which plants were the best for this part of Arizona. He also recommended to us an esthetic design we would have never thought of on our own. He accommodated our every wish. He gave us a reasonable estimate in a few days. We had to wait our turn to have our yard landscaped because this is a popular company but, when our turn came, their landscaper workers began work at 7 AM or earlier and worked at least 12 hours a day, six days a week. They worked under adverse circumstances of blazing hot sun and monsoons that drenched them almost everyday. They cheerfully and promptly made every change we ask of them. They attended to the smallest of detail. They obviously knew what they are doing. The ultimate result is our front yard and backyard exceeds our every expectation with landscaping and water features which are both functional and esthetically pleasing. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants a custom and comprehensive landscape solution.
I respect those who gave Yavapai Landscaping less than a good rating, however, our experience was quite the opposite from theirs. I am sure if they contacted Ted Ferris that he would be able to resolve their concerns.

From my first meeting with Ted I knew we made the right call. Ted has overseen all 3 jobs to make sure we where 100% satisfies. I have had Yavapai Landscaping do 3 jobs for me now. All 3 experiences have been 5 Star worthy.
For our most recent job I shopped all over the area for the cheapest price on Synthetic grass. I actually found Yavapai to be right in the average price with other competitors. They were not the cheapest nor where they the most expensive but definitely the best quality and exceptional customer service/installation. When Ted's team arrived mid Monday to start preparing the area I was so impressed by how his team worked. Ceaser, Hugo and Alex worked promptly and efficiently. The team was extremely professional and worked with high precision and took exceptional pride in there workmanship. They had the job completed in literally a day and a 1/2 . Unbelievable how fast the job was completed with the highest level of quality in workmanship and efficiency. I would like to say a sincere thank you to Ted, Ceaser, Hugo and Alex for a exceptional job well done.
Have a Blessed Day !!!
Just moved in to my new home in Prescott, have had 4 landscaping Consultations before Anthony from Yavapai Landscaping came out to look at the property and listen to my nauseating vision of the property. He was the first landscaper who Got my crazy vision. Anthony knew the names of all the plants and trees that I pointed out, he was extremely knowledgeable and gave great insight into my many needs which he was very comfortable in completing, other contractors were only able to meet some requests. Looking forward to working with Yavapai Landscaping.
Chas
We are very pleased with the results of the hardscape landscaping Yavapai provided and their attention to detail. Ted was full of great ideas and has a professional crew. We highly recommend Yavapai!
I met with 3 landscaping companies. I met with Ted Ferris from Yavapai Landscaping. We selected them to do a large landscaping project including removing old railroad ties and replacing them with Versablock and and underground tree and plant watering system. A team of skilled workers and equipment arrived and the blocks were cut precisely and fitted perfectly to form uniform steps to a side yard. The drip system was set up with 3 stations to water trees once a week and plants more frequently. The job was done professionally on time and on budget. We are thrilled with the results.
The project was finally completed, although way behind schedule. Antonio's crew was professional and courteous and did an excellent job. Overall, I think most of the problems were wirth the owner and the front office scheduling, and not with the crew. They dropped the ball in the beginning but were able to get on track in the end. The quality is outstanding, and communication is improving.
I gave them one star because they did create a beautiful patio. After many false starts they finally scheduled our landscaping. Our agreement called for four 6' Arbor Vitae but they said there were none available. If they had ordered them when they received my down payment they probably would have been available. I was given the choice of 4' trees or nothing. Not much of a choice. They had no apology or remorse that they weren't even close to fulfilling their part of our agreement. They didn't give me any instructions on how to care for the vegetation they installed and they have not answered my emails requesting help. I paid them per our agreement and now I am history. Poor customer service and a take it or leave it attitude. Hire a firm that will treat you fairly and be honest.
We used Yavapai Landscaping to do some firewise clearing in our yard in 2020. They were expensive but did an average job. We wanted to expand our irrigation system, so we asked them to come out in mid-2021 to give us an estimate. They came up with a proposal which we decided to accept. Unfortunately, they were not able to get back with us in time before we left for the summer. I let them know that we accepted their proposal yet with us soon to be gone, we would have to postpone implementing it.
Fast forward to September of 2021. We are now back in Prescott, so I called Yavapai Landscaping and asked them to send someone out to look at our current system and propose updates. The lady that I was talking with said that they could do so, but it would cost us $200 to have someone come out to give us an estimate. I was floored. $200 for an estimate? I asked if we could we use that as a credit if we accepted the proposal? Nope. The $200 was just to pay for someone to come out and give us, rather sell us, an estimate. I said that we would pass.
I then called one of the people who had come out before and asked him about their new $200 policy. He said that he was unfamiliar with it, but would call the office and have someone contact me. That was Thursday. I called him again on Monday to see if he had any word. I did not receive a return call. At this point, it appears to me that Yavapai Landscaping is not the same company that I did business with last year. Last year they appeared to have customer service. II see no evidence of customer service at this point.
I did receive a call from someone in the office on Tuesday. She had received word from the other employee last Thursday but had not gotten back in touch with me until today, 6 days later. I let her know that we would no longer be doing business with them, mainly due to their $200 for an estimate charge. Why would they enact a $200 charge for an estimate? I have no idea but I will not be supporting their business going forward.
Disappointed. We contacted Yavapai for a quote for some rock work for your home. We became frustrated because WE had to keep following up with them. My husband contacted the office credit card in hand to pay and schedule to have the office rep need to contact the bidder to clarify. We didn't have any follow up unless we called them. Often multiple times due to no return calls.
This went on a few times over the course of roughly 2 months.
We finally contacted another company, got a quote and had the work done. Spent a little more but it's completed and we still haven't been called back from Yavapai.
Our job wasn't a huge project- $1000 so maybe we weren't a priority. But long term we will need more work done.

There was some issues at the beginning of trimming.. but when all said and done, they did a good job of trimming all the bushes and trees. And good job cleaning up.
We've used Yavapai Landscaping on a few projects over the past 2 years and at first they were reliable and the work was good depending on who they sent out (Ryan and LT are great). The guy we worked with to design the back yard (Anthony Doumont) was great but, he left shortly after our project started. The lady in the office at the time, who was very nice, seemed like she was in over her head - no return calls, very poor communication and could not remember us or our project every time we spoke. As a retired fire department employee I liked the idea of supporting this business because the owner is retired fire but, they have really gone downhill over the last year. We gave them one last chance on another project and the guy that came to give the bid said he would have a estimate by end of day. That was last Friday and today is Tuesday. We had to track him down thru the office only to find out they don't even do the work we need done (re-slab our mailbox)! He referred us to someone who couldn't even set up a firm appointment to bid the project. All I can say is either they've gotten too big or the management is not paying attention, either way we won't be wasting our time with them.

From Jan in the office, Ted and Anthony for the design to Luis and his installation crew. Very professional!! Exactly the taste of Arizona we were looking for. Thank you Yavapai Landscaping team!!!
This was a total team effort, did a great job! Everything from the design to the installation went smooth. They finished in record time!
Cannot get these people to respond. They came and measured for a retaining wall in our yard. We were supposed to hear back in a couple days. Nothing. Between my husband and I we contacted them 4 times. Still no quote. Who knows why a company would act like this, job too small? Maybe they're too busy. Either way, we went with another company.
Yavapai Landscaping did a great job on our yard, did lots of unique features and fulfilled everything they promised in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for your project being a new build or a renew. I dealt with Ted who was eager to please and was great to work with. In fact we have a friendship that supersedes the project.
5 stars. Why? Because Yavapai Landscaping was 5 stars from the beginning to the end...
I received in the mail a postcard with a coupon for $200 OFF for a two-day FireWise service and after all the fires my wife and I didn't want to take any chances. Go on their website? It's clean, polished, and easy to navigate. I have used other Landscape companies in Prescott and when they come out to our Country Club home the prices seemed higher then it should. After receiving my free quote, the price actually went lower then my wife and I budgeted for, not up!
We had tons of questions and needed help in designing our new outdoor kitchen, BBQ, and Pizza oven area, and Yavapai Landscaping responded so fast it was a plus in my books for sure. Hands down my new company for all my Landscaping & Tree Service 100%.

These guys are the worst. I had a sick tree that I asked them to look at. Not only did they not know what was wrong with it, they didn't even know what kind of tree it was! The guy said he would call me back which he never did. I finally got ahold of them again and was told the tree had spider mites and they would cut it down and remove it for $600. I called a different company and they knew what kind of tree it was and it was root bound because of plastic covering the root system. They fixed the problem at half the cost and I have a happy, beautiful, living tree now. Yavapai would have killed a perfectly healthy tree that my father planted 30 years ago. Thank you JOHNNY'S LANDSCAPING for saving my beloved tree.
If your considering using this company we would highly recommend you don't. In our opinion they are most unprofessional company we have ever dealt with. This company did our entire landscaping including putting in a built in bbq with a concrete countertop which they said we would love. The countertop was supposed to be polished concrete which we've been told it isn't by several people. We also found out they had never done polished concrete before. The used pavers to build it (which appear to be used pavers because they are all chipped) the concrete countertop looks horrible and they did not have the gas line inspected. We had to call the City and have the landscaper dig up the gas line for the City to inspect. Yavapai was not happy with us and basically said it was our fault. The sod they put in half of it never took which they won't stand behind. Anything that is wrong they tell you it's your fault. Our experience was a nightmare with them. In our opinion the owner is a horrible business person with no customer service skills and his sales manager is no better than a used car salesman that tells you what you want to hear but doesn't do what was promised. I would run as fast as I could away from this company.As far as the response below from the Owner and/or the Sales Manager- you are the one that suggested concrete countertops, and as far as colored concrete it's grey and I think that is the normal color. You tried to get use to do red. As far as the grass you installed it and we maintained including fertilizing through the winter. The entire yard was nothing but weeds. The southwest quarter of the lawn has never grown. It has nothing to do with our dogs and we do not have three dogs nor do they go in one spot. You never tried to correct the bbq, or several other items. There are so many lies and inconsistencies in your response it is ridiculous such as us being banned from the club house. We've never been banned from there or any place. Anyone can see from your response not to do business with you. You are not worth going on about all of the issues with your company. It's a waste of my time.
Excellent service from beginning to end with Yavapai Landscaping. From the initial call and follow ups with a quote through to the last day Yavapai Landscaping's communication was clear and thorough. Their work crew showed up on time every single day and worked, even through the heat, and they did not stop until the end of the day. They were here for three weeks total repaving, laying artificial turf, rock ground cover and raised rock beds with drought tolerant plants. They did some grading for good water drainage, hooked up a drip system that runs to all of our plants, and installed the most magnificent fountain made from a huge chunk of onyx rock. Great company with a good crew that will do everything they can to make your backyard a paradise.
Ted Ferris worked with us to come up with a landscape plan for our home in Prescott Valley and his team did a great job of implementing it. He also worked with us to establish phases of implementing the plan, and in selecting plants that provide a variety of looks, textures, and color. We think our yard stands out in the neighborhood and was well worth the time,effort, and costs.

Yavapai Landscaping was very prompt in returning my call. The estimator Anthony came out and gave me an estimate, which was unaffordable so I did not use them for my job.
The reason for the 3 stars is that I didn't hire them for the job, so I can't really do a full evaluation.

I enjoyed working with Yavapai's Business Developer, Ted Ferris. He was easy to work with and Yavapai used their erosion expertise to complete a huge erosion project on our property. Many Prescott landscaping companies were too small & inexperienced to do the required work. Thank you Ted!
I called first thing in the morning after a long weekend and Nathan (owner) answered the phone. If you live in Prescott, you know this is a rarity. I needed help with an automatic sprinkler system that was not operating well. He was able to schedule me a time the same day, which I really appreciated.
Some hours later Anthony arrived at my home after a courtesy call to say that he was close. After explaining the problem, he set about testing and checking the system. He was able to deductively determine the problem and then reset the system. I then asked him to walk my property to look at a few plants/trees so I could ask some questions. He suggested that I consider a maintenance program but did so with no pressure and offered to discuss it at another time if I choose to go in that direction.
I will definitely use Yavapai Landscaping again.

I've used Yavapai Landscaping 3 times now, and have been very pleased with the result each time. The latest job was the biggest, they transformed the middle dirt pile in our circle drive into an oasis. The crew was fast too, they beat the timeline!

The Yavapai Landscaping team did a great job transforming my backyard. I wanted a planter for the plants I brought with me to my new house. They built it out of stone and it is perfect.
We had a great experience with Yavapai Landscaping. They were educated, responsive and the crew was great. Hard working and aiming to please. It was also great working with Jan in the front office. Always got things done!

The Yavapai Landsaping team came back and extended the patio, installed fencing and did a beautiful water feature. The guys are so great and we highly recommend.

The work done was beautiful, however I was rescheduled 3 times without being given the option. Also when I ask to meet with the super for my project to discuss the work and possibly more he never returned my call this resulted in a conflict with my project and I was once again rescheduled. I also feel that the cost was above what it should have been for my project as well.
This company answered their phone on a Sunday morning and provided emergency snow removal service for us within hours! Who does that? It had snowed over six inches overnight, and we were snowed in exactly when we had important business, which could not wait, elsewhere. We live off of a private road in Prescott, which is not maintained by the county or city, in the woods. There is a nine degree grade on the road coming down to our driveway, with steep drop offs, and another one in the driveway itself. Yavapai Landscaping understood the urgency we had to get on the road that morning. They risked their safety to be sure that we could get out!
Way too expensive! Got estimates from 2 other companies for artifical turf and Yavapai was literally a couple thousand more than the others.

We hired Yavapai Landscaping to build a 4 retaining wall and lay pavers to expand our patio to about 3x it's existing size. Anthony was a pleasure to work with from discussing the materials, options and quotes. The real surprise was the work crew: Luis and Alanso. They were very meticulous and paid attention to the little details. Consistent from morning to evening and they always cleaned up the site before they left. Their work ethic was second to none and so was the finished product. When my wife wanted a certain detail or two, the answer was always: Sure, we can do that. We love our new patio and would hire that crew again in an instant - great team!

We bought a new home in Prescott and needed complete landscaping for both the front and back yards. After getting quotes from three companies, we contracted with Yavapai Landscaping for three main reasons. First, and foremost, was their responsiveness. Ted Ferris, the sales representative, was extremely responsive and prompt with providing us an estimate and a professional landscaping drawing showing the design concept. He was always very polite and professional. Second, the quote they provided was very competitive and in line with the others we received. Lastly, in comparing the end results of other homes they landscaped in our neighborhood, as compared with others, they have a distinctly different aesthetic in their design and final results. They just simply look nicer. I would like to particularly point out that their installation crew is utterly amazing! They worked hard each and every day from sun up to sun down and rarely even took a break. They are the hardest workers I have ever seen. They completed our installation in three and a half days! I highly recommend this company. They are great!
A month ago we gave Yavapai a $2100 deposit for work on the rocks in the drainage ditch in front of our house. We were told a crew would be here on Nov. 4th to start the work, which would take two days. At 10:00 on the 4th I called to find out why no one showed up. I was given some song and dance about the scheduled crew being unable to do the work but the crew who could do the work would be here on the 9th. Expect them between 8.and 9 we were told. You guessed it - no one showed up and no one called. Our next step is to request our deposit back.
Update - I did request a return of our deposit, and the very next day a guy showed up with a load of rock. However, it was another two days before anyone showed up to do the work. We had been told we would have a full crew so that the work could be finished quickly. Their full crew consisted of two guys, who did work hard, but the second day one of the guys called in sick, so we were down to one guy. He was unable to complete the job that day but promised he would be back the next day (Saturday) to finish. Again we had a no show with no phone call. The work was finally done on Monday. So, a job that we booked on October 8th with work dates of November 4th and 5th was finally completed on November 18th. Bottom line - was the work completed satisfactorily? Absolutely. Would we hire this company again? Absolutely not!
We made the best decision by having Yavapai Landscape create the pavers, patios, walkways, fire pit area. I will only have these fine men help with my yard.

Yavapai landscaping did a fabulous job installing our artificial turf. They shoes up on time and completed the job on also. They did a great job of cleaning up after the job was complete. Would recommend them-very professional
I have a small commercial building in Prescott. We used Yavapai Landscaping for the first time and their work was subpar. They charged me about $200.00 more than our last landscaper who developed a back problem and is no longer in the business. Despite the higher cost the work was not as good. We called Yavapai Landscaping and sent them photos to show them the poor workmanship. The sent a crew out to fix it and charge us an additional $195.00 without ever telling us they were going to charge us more money. I never received an invoice which they promised to email me. Then when we called them to inquire about the additional $195.00 fee the women said, Fine! We will refund you the money. and hung up on us. We tried to call back several times and she won't answer the phone. Needless to say my credit was never refunded the $195.00. I would not suggest using Yavapai landscaping.

I was on a tight budget and needed about $3000 worth of major cleanup in my yard. Just bought 2 acres and a house in Chino Valley in June 2017. The yard had been neglected for over 15 years. Cottonwood trees overgrown with suckers as high as the main trunk. Ugly black plastic erupting from the layer of rocks and looking really bad. I hate black plastic and wanted the weeds and grass to grow freely. A weed is only a weed if it grows where you do not want it to. I do not like anything linear and defining so the lava rock rings around the 4 willow trees had to go and the whole yard needed some love. I had 4 landscape companies come out for an estimate and all 4 gave the the mantra of your project is not doable because of your small budget. What? Just because I am a small potato does not mean I do not qualify for your workers. They wanted a budget of over $10,000 AND THAT WAS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
Grrr. I knew what I wanted done but was open to ideas but not more money. So looking thru the weekly shopper I found Yavapai Landscaping and called them. I told them I was small potatoes and would they give me an estimate for my desired aesthetics. Nathan was so comforting and assured me they will work with me and take my direction as to what I wanted. It is often hard for men to listen to a woman and get the same picture in their head that I had in my mind. But Nathan and Devon were very professional and understood that I wanted a free flowing rock scape and plastic removed and no other weed control used. A natural vibe - serene and undefined. I hired them and am so happy with the work they did. I could hear my overgrown yard breathe a huge sigh of relief as they methodically trimmed trees, pulled plastic, hauled trash to their dumpster. The bobcat work was so expertly done by Louis that I asked if they could level my back yard and how much would that cost. The gopher farm in the back was a tripping hazard for me and too uneven to risk a fall. So I now have no more gopher holes and a smoother yard. BTW: That bobcat work was a free-bee.
The work crews were very polite, respectful of this retired USAF woman who knew the vision she wanted (me), and best of all no Spanish was spoken - that is professional in my ethics book. All-in-all when they finished the initial cleanup job and I charged it to my credit card I am a very happy camper.
rd art About 2 weeks later I called Nathan back and negotiated the price of putting in a 6ftx20ft paver sidewalk from the drivewayto the front porch. The estimate was within my credit limits and I not only got the beautiful paver sidewalk but also splurged and got a slice of heaven in the front ard. I now have a 10 x 15 foot green scape of high quality astro turf right out my front door. It is lined with the same pavers and is very sturdy with the wind and rain storms. I planted a plastic pink flamingo on my lawn (it is not a putting green) and sun bleached flamingos and other yard art (turtles, gnomes, lizards, etc) that no one wants. My Flying Flamingo Refuge accepts donations of your unwanted and outdated yard art.
They started Gung Ho. Anthony, the field estimator, was pleasant and easy to work with. The irrigation and landscaping field workers were great to work with. The schedulers in the office and the office staff are the weakest link. They would schedule times where the workers were to show up only to have no shows over and over. We had two separate jobs we contracted them for and it was a nightmare to get them to come when they said they would come. When my husband called it would directly to voicemail only to not have his calls returned. I called from my phone and they picked up right away. The workers are at the mercy of the office to direct them on when they could go to our home to work on the jobs. Both jobs were drug out and even when we were told the jobs were completed, they were not. The finished product for a swale with rocks was atrocious. We had to ask for Anthony to come back out to see for himself how poor the swale looked. He was shocked. Many times the workers weren't communicated with on exactly what they were supposed to do. We still are waiting on getting our sprinklers to perform correctly. To top things off, when my husband went to review his credit card statement, Yavapai Landscaping charged his credit card without authorization. We do not recommend them due to the poor work ethics of the office staff, the rude treatment by one of the higher up people (I forgot his name) and the continuous no shows. They are not dependable at all.
Absolutely NO complaints. From the first phone call, they are professional, have a quick response and do excellent work. Better than expected! I've had many compliments on the driveway pavers that they installed. The foreman put in a beautiful arc around my plants, that I didn't visualize. It turned out beautiful. The foreman also came back the second day to finish when he wasn't feeling well, but he wanted to get it done before it rained. He certainly went the extra mile in his work and dedication. Would recommend them absolutely!
When reading reviews, it's important to read beyond the stars, read the details. If the landscaper is 5 stars for cleaning out and you are looking at a 5-figure restoration, this landscaper may not be for you. Look for flags and run when you see them. An experienced landscaper will offer a free, line item estimate and offer choices so you can choose where to spend your money. Unless your project is unique and finely detailed, you should not pay for an architectural drawing, an experienced landscaper will offer guidance and know what will work free of charge. The landscaper should offer references and take you to see his work, so you have an idea of the type of work and level of skill they can offer. If you have tree and shrub removal needed prior to excavation, contract only for the removal so you can assess the work. Never give more than a very small percentage to be placed in their timeline and find out how long before offering payment. Be careful to take notice if words and actions do not match. The Yavapai crew was very friendly, but there were too many red flags for our large renovation project, so I can only give 1 star.
wished i could have given them a better credit. hard workers but no supervision. not happy here . uneven , out of square, No foreman or leader here to supervise the workers. had 700 hundred sq. ft. of pavers. Did not even come close for being level. told them about that, there answer was just brush it off. 700 hundred sq. feet and 14,000.00 not worth it. They need to have a supervisor with the workers like they said they would. real Great workers just not supervised.
So on the phone was told 80 bucks to come from Prescott, he repaired one rubber membrane, after digging everything up within the boxed in cover, he had others and the one he replaced, to me showed no signs of wear, so he put a new one in, it's about the size of a mayonnaise jar cover. On the phone I had to repeat several times where I live, was supposed to be here in the Am showed up around noon, he doesn't listen, he;\'s too busy telling you how great he is. He then said I had a problem with one sprayer, which I usually just twist it back on , but he said it was leaking. In the end he told me he get 80 bucks an hour, cost 240...when he originally stated a little over 150 total. At least I watched and learned how simple it all was. 240 bucks ya gotta be kidding, paid and done, never again, the Trump Sticker on the truck should have told me something, also a suspected racist from the way he reffered to people of color, good fkg riddance to this mental midget
