Best Landscapings in Phoenix, AZ

Trimmed up my trees in the backyard and they look amazing! Will definitely be using this company for future landscaping services.  
Good prices and very polite.

Was supposed to come last week, but didn't.

Was supposed to come this week but he texted on Friday saying they couldn't make it. They offered to come between 6 and 7 am today (Saturday), and I agreed. They did not show up. I waited for over an hour past the appointment time, then I texted to ask if they were still coming. No response for over an hour now. I'm assuming they are not coming.

If you need something done, you cannot rely on these guys to show up when they say they will.

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...

I had to add this paver project that Juan and his team did.  We are so happy with their work. They did this, trimmed our giant 30 (ish) ft palm, planted some new bushes and our normal landscape service all in a day.

James & his crew just finished re-doing  our rear yard with artificial turf, a pvc irrigation system & new rock. They did an excellent job, were always on time & when finished made sure everything was cleaned up & working.  What I especially liked was that James always promptly returned my calls  & visited a few times with us prior to beginning the job to make sure we were all on the same page. Would highly recommend him.

With excellence in mind, KO's Landscaping service knocked me out!  It's especially rare to run across such quality work, the kind of work that inspires one to do more.  KO's Landscaping is that kind of company and remains truly in a class by itself.

Product:
They were kind enough to clean up a 10,000 square foot property on short notice, and proved especially thorough while weeding, repairing the irrigation system, trimming several tall Ficus and queen palm trees. Their cleanup was pristine.  I also tried to stump the owner with lots of detailed questions, but he had sensible responses to all of them.  

People:
The crew was large, on time, and all about business.  What would have taken me at least a week alone, they completed in no time with a professional's touch that I couldn't match.  KO's Landscaping surely logged their 10,000 expert hours evidenced by the finished product.  One caveat, it seems that Eduardo is the premiere contact person for English.  Spanglish may be helpful if you're strictly working with the KO crew.

Process:
Headache free.  I did not have to make a percentage payment up front.  Eduardo had his crew show up on time and manicure my landscape with future maintenance in mind.  Impressed, I paid a premium for his services.

Ultimately, I recommend KO's Landscaping without reservation, and trust you will be impressed with their rates, work ethic, knowledge, and experience.  I sincerely hope they expand their services to painting and flooring, as Eduardo and company set a high standard for others to follow.

I needed landscaping done same day and they responded right away and came within a few hours. Our yard looks great! They even took the bags of foliage that we had from trying to start the task ourselves. Definitely recommend!

I chose C & A Landscapes from a phone book.  Yes, a phone book. A heavy object composed of yellow paper!  That is how long José has been taking care of my yard.   He is knowledgeable and honest.  Most of all, he has a true passion for plants, especially desert plants.   (This is huge, since I seem to be incapable of growing even the simplest flower on my own!)

Last summer José asked if he could also take care of my pool.   I said yes, and it was a great decision.  Now my yard work is done synergistically.  

As the years have gone on, several neighbors - having seen how trustworthy he is - have also hired José to take care of their yards.   All have thanked me.  

Fellow Yelpers, you do not have to pick a landscaper out of a phone book!  That is old school.  Benefit from my experience, and call C & A Landscapes.

Rick responded to my quote request thru Yelp very quickly and was able to squeeze me in - I was in a pinch to do a quick yard clean up before the photographer came to take pix of my house since we're listing it for sale. Anyway, he was on time, very fair price, and I appreciated his prompt reply.  Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there were a couple things we pointed out to be done that they forgot. (Pulling out rebar from lights they removed for us and trimming pods off palm tree near patio.) I'm sure it was an honest mistake but I had to end up doing it later that day. I paid him before he finished/before I had a chance to inspect because I had to get back to work so I did not get a chance to point it out. Again, I got the impression from him and his family that they were hard working and it was just an oversight and I feel confident he would've fixed it had I caught it before he left. I would recommend Budget.

I had an unbelievable interaction with Allen from this company. He came out - after changing the time THREE times. I accommodated his changes and met with him on a Sunday. I explained what I wanted and he already started complaining. I said that I am getting bids from other companies he rudely walked away saying it was a waste of his time and didn't want to give me a bid. Unreal laziness and rudeness.
***Responding to Allen...I am not the one that made the appointment on a Sunday. You did. Again, Allen was rude and totally unreasonable. He literally said he didn't want to take hours putting together a bid if I wasn't going to automatically give him the job!

In stark contrast, I have had a few other companies come out to check out my yard and they have all been great - professional, reliable, honest, friendly, and helpful. It will be a hard decision. But it's going to be a big, expensive job and I want to make the right choice.

Eric and crew Thank You.
After getting taken advantage of by MasterAZscapes and losing several thousand dollars I now have the backyard I was waiting for.

Borders and Beyond came in and within a couple weeks transformed my whole back yard into an entertainment spot. Eric the owner was on site daily as promised and communicated the entire schedule promptly. Their crews were pleasant and cleaned up each day. All promised commitments were met from getting me the updated price after I made a change to the travertine pattern to a more complex layout.

Borders an Beyond is a company I can support. They stick to what is promised and work with you to finish your projects. Kudos and thanks again for a job well done.

Absolutely love these guys! They were really responsive and got my credenza to me in perfect condition. Would definitely use again for future furniture pickups

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.

Shrub it off did amazing irrigation work in my front and backyards.  They were very professional and completed the job in a timely manner.  They went over and above to get the irrigation installed correctly.   I would highly recommend.

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
