Best Landscapings in Phoenix, AZ

I reached out to GL Landscaping to help with my mom's yard in Maricopa, which had grown out of control -- and let me tell you, in my wildest dreams I never anticipated it would look so nice once the job was done!  Superior work at an affordable price.  I don't think it's looked this good in years, and I have Gonzalez Lucio to thank for it.  I appreciate all the hard work, and I look forward to using you again for all my future landscaping needs.  You guys are the best!

I asked yelp for help getting a quote.  This company responded.  They were always very responsive to messages.  
They ended up not coming because a truck needed repairs.  However the fact that they messaged me and let me know... was a big plus in my book.  
So this review is of their business practices... and not of their actual work.  
Responsive, and cares about customers time.

Wish there were more stars.  Urban Oasis was the most responsive landscaper I called for a quote and am so glad I did.  Austin was always attentive to our needs.  I cannot say enough good things about this company.  They kept us in the loop the entire time and continually followed up and addressed our needs and/or concerns.  What great customer service and professionalism.  I'm so glad we found them.  Thanks Austin.

The short version is that I cannot recommend them.  The longer version is pretty long, but I'll try to control it.

Initially their service was thorough.  Yes, they missed some things, but they would get them the next visit.  But that's as good as it got.  There were at least two crew shake-ups in the ~8 months we used them, and each time the service declined.  Their original crew was definitely the best, but that only lasted about 2 months.

What they did, they did well.  Trimming and shaping bushes, edging ground cover (usually), cutting low-hanging branches.  Though sometimes you had to TELL them to do it.  They didn't seem to recognize what needed to be done, even after walking the property and building into the contract the agreed upon requirements. If you didn't instruct them ahead of time it may or may not be accomplished.  And even if you did tell them (e.g. please get that weed/plant in the rose bush) it wasn't a guarantee they would actually do it.  I tried sending them photos, I tried making lists (which was the most successful approach, but ironically they asked me to stop with the lists).  But even they acknowledged that several things I was complaining about should have been automatic; I shouldn't have had to say anything, it just should have been done.  The management/supervisors agreed with me!  But often it wasn't automatic.

About the only thing that was consistent was they used to blowers to clean debris from the yard.  Sometimes it seemed that was all they did.

They didn't remove dead plants that were obviously dead even after I pointed them out.  They missed obvious weeds.  On more than one occasion they cut a dripper which I then had to fix when I discovered I had a fountain instead of a drip head (they would have fixed it if I waited long enough, but I wasn't willing to have my system off for several days until someone could drop by). They would stop edging the ground cover part-way through (i.e. you could see where they stopped).  Management agreed with me that was unacceptable.

As I said before, they handled specific repairs very well.  They weren't cheap, but the pricing was reasonable.  They even reduced the pricing once because the job wasn't as hard as I expected.  So bonus points for that.

I think if you have a conventional lawn, and some trees and shrubs, you'll probably be fine.  If you have anything out of the ordinary they don't seem to know what to do, or at least the crews that do the actual work don't.  I was paying a lot of money for incomplete work.

They got tired of my complaints about the time I got tired of complaining.  They fired me first, but I was about to do the same to them.  I was going to grant one last chance, mostly because I didn't want to have to find someone else.  Interviewing landscapers is a pain.  Just in time for the ground cover to need to be cut back...

We contacted Juan at Happy Grounds about a sprinkler leak in our backyard, and he came out quickly to check out the issue. He identified the problem and gave us two options to stop the leak. Even though we chose the simple, cheap fix, Juan was polite and professional. Happy Grounds did a great job, and we will look to use them again in the future.

Just had a new drip system installed and repair to a separate system here in Anthem AZ.  Crew did great work and was all done in a day and it works great.  Solid quote, showed up on time and a great job.  What more could you want!?   Professional and highly recommend!

Great landscaping company!  I would highly recommend them.  They went above and beyond what was asked of them to do on our yard.  Very conscientious and excellent workmanship!  Great pricing, nice guys....Great company!

Meza landscaping did an amazing job on our backyard. They were very patient with us getting our materials in. Would recommend them.

Carlos is great and on top of great work and reliability he and his partner Caesar are so nice and a pleasure to work with.  They are top shelf with their work, timeliness and communication. They are taking great care of my Arizona home and they are my regular Landscapers now!

Rick was great!  Quick to respond and got us a very competitive quote even though we did not have all the information he asked for.  He figured it out and gave us a couple options that helped us pinpoint what we needed to do.  Now that is the sort of professional I want on my side.  Thanks Rick!

Excellent company. The entire process was quick and easy. Would highly recommend anyone looking to renovate their backyard.

Though we aren't done yet - I just have to say that Erik has been extremely nice to work with and we are thrilled to have our backyard landscaped by his company. I'll update my review with photos once it's complete. They're booked out a while - but I feel like it will be worth the wait.

I would definitely recommend them anytime. Marcus came to the house first time and was extremely courteous and friendly. No pressure at all. I got my whole backyard renovated. Put all new plants. A lot of Turf was laid on the ground. Where it used to be just plain rock. Almost 1300 feet of turf was put in. New retaining wall. Also a little bit of concrete work was done as well. No job was too hard for Marcus and his crew. They also refinished my whole deck portion as well.
Call Marcus. For your needs YOU will not be disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to have landscaping done. They went above and beyond and the job and got a very happy customer. Very knowledgeable and his passion for his work shines through. If I had more than two thumbs they would definitely be up too. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

After several disappointing landscapers I found Shrub it off and could not be happier.  Coming from a very picky woman, I promise you will not be disappointed with Marcos.  He and his team are professional, attentive, responsible, respectful and customer service oriented.  

Addditional work requests are met with a prompt response, quote and work.

The team is also wonderful to give advice when you need a little extra help with flowers, garden or trees.

I recommend Shrub it off to anyone looking for the best.

Valley Vista Landscaping redesigned our backyard this last month. They came to the house talked to us about our ideas and gave their professional input on what would work and what might need to be tweaked. They gave us an estimate in a timely manner along with suggestions to keep the cost down by using different materials where possible. They set a day the work would start and gave us an idea when they thought the work should be finished. Valley Vista Landscaping was honest, prompt, friendly, cleaned up after them selves and professional. We will use them in the future and would recommend them to others.

DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE. I made a huge mistake by giving them a deposit to grade my backyard and take out my tree. They asked me to Venmo them $1500 to get a bobcat to my house which they never came back with. I have been begging for a refund and just get false promises of them showing back up.

These people have stolen my money and won't refund me for not coming back to do the work. I feel stupid for having sent them money that I worked so hard for to get nothing in return.

Huge mistake sending them any money and I hope you take caution because to this.

Below is the plants they took out that cost me $1500 due to me sending money too early. They promised to also take out the tree, flatten the dirt, and take out the rocks. All of which didn't happen. I'm very sad to have lost the money I paid.

I would not recommend this company to do anything remotely related to landscaping and sprinklers. After spending $5000 to $6000 with them on basic grass and a sprinkler system I now have to spend $8200 to remove and replace their horrible work. STAY CLEAR
