Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

I met with 3-4 firms, shared with each that I wanted grass that would withstand a dog who will potty on it, kick like crazy...but most of all be cushioned because it would be used as a play and practice area for backyard dog agility.  Therefore it needed to be as cool as possible and be cushioned to lessen joint impact while jumping, running and sudden stops.  I did not want the grass to smell terrible or use black rubber tire as cushion infill.

With every firm -except AZ Luxury Lawns - I was the one doing all of the studying of the best possibilities of infill materials, various grasses and the various grass manufacturers.  With the exception of  AZ Luxury Lawns, all wanted to sell me their traditional process rather than a solution to my problem.  I had to study hard in order to be smart enough to ask the right questions.  This was both frustrating and tiring.  

AZ Luxury Lawns' Kyle came with grass samples that were specific to my needs.  He did not bring me their most popular best seller.  He brought grass samples that would provide cushioning yet allow grip for quick turns without negatively impacting dog or human joints. This company listened to me. The price was better than I ever expected.

Between Kyle and Chris, the infill combination for cushioning, bacteria prevention and temperature coolness was recommended without using black rubber or copper slag - the traditional infills. Chris made several calls to manufacturers and his distributors.  He recommended the infill.  In other words, AZ Luxury Lawns worked with me and brought a solution to what turned out to be rather technical decisions...not just a pretty color of grass.

The grass was installed right on schedule.  The installation was quick yet thorough.  The place was left spotless with beautiful grass.  The installers had the thrill of watching my dog race around his new back yard upon completion. I could not be more pleased.  This company was referred to me and I shall also refer this company to my dog agility sport friends.

Great Experience with this company.  We needed a new irrigation system and landscaping.  Everything happened exactly as it was explained to us and the work was completed in a timely manner.  The price was very fair and more competitive than the big guys.  Small family owned is the way to go!!  So happy with our yard now.  We would definitely use them again.

Seemed very enthusiastic about our landscaping needs.  Told me they would return with the bid the next day.  They never returned or connected with me. Several calls and emails sent. Still no response from the owner.

We hired Gorilla Builders to build a shop separate from our home. When we first approached them, the owner of the company, Jeff Suer, was the individual we spoke with. We stopped by their office to sign the detailed contract and went over it from beginning to end. The process was put in place and the permits obtained, building was started, and we now have a wonderful functional shop. We were truly impressed with the quality of the build from beginning to end. Each worker was friendly and knew exactly what they were doing and completed the job over and above all expectations. If we had a question during the build all we did was call Jeff who was readily available. Thank you Gorilla Builders, Jeff, Hector, Tom, Bob, all you guys!

I found Barry and Progressive Pavers as a referral from a trusted and higher end pool builder so I was confident going in that he did quality work. We hired him to replace our old cool deck with travertine pavers. He also did a custom fireplace and redid our patio.  His quote was identical to one other paver company but Barry's communication skills/personality in the consultation helped us choose him.
He was good at giving us options and sharing the pros/cons of our different design ideas. He was mindful of cost control and was not in any way trying to upsale us.  He showed up when he said he would and I appreciated how easy it was to reach him via text/phone calls, quite unique compared to most of my contractor experiences. We could tell he was invested in us being happy with the outcome.  
During the project there was one minor miscommunication about what we expected. We were somewhat hesitant to point it out as we knew it would result in some unexpected demo and extra work for his crew.  When we pointed it out we were very impressed how graciously he reacted and agreed to make the corrections, as opposed to complaining or blaming us.   Barry is a pros pro, awesome to work with.
The quality of their work was incredible and we couldn't be happier with the results...its beautiful.
The only minor annoyance was some of his crew washing/cleaning their mortar buckets in my landscape rock leaving them gray and discolored...but honestly this has happened with every single landscaping crew I have ever hired. Barry was apologetic and sent someone back to rake/clean up the mess.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with and would strongly recommend Progressive Pavers

Very Professional and Quality Work !! I called, Carlos came gave me a quote did the job 2 weeks later and very reasonable on the price. The Crew were knowledgeable and didn't need any supervision. They worked together each one knew there job and it was definitely team work at it's best !! I would definitely use them again without hesitation. If you need Concrete call the BEST - Platinum Concrete Works you will not be disappointed !!!

Juan and his team did a great job on our front yard.  He worked with us while we waited on our HOA to approve our new front yard. The process, once the HOA gave us the go ahead, was super easy and fast.  He had the old yard removed, and the start of the new yard in the first day!  Rain did delay, but that's to be expected.  Our new front yard is beautiful, we've had so many compliments from our neighbors. Miranda in the office was on top of the quote request, scheduling and awesome customer service.  Thanks!

Someone recommended this company to us, and we are so glad they did! Jonny Murillo (the owner) and his father Jonathan Murillo came over the same day I called them to talk to us about a project. They were obviously very knowledgeable about construction and repair work that we needed. Jonny got back to us quickly with itemized quotes that seemed very reasonable. They started work on the day agreed, arriving with a crew of three (Jonathan, his brother David, and their friend Daniel). They started work early and powered through the day. They only took breaks because it was 114 degrees, and they were pouring concrete! They were good-natured about everything, very polite and courteous and friendly. We had them do more projects because they were so good, and we got to be friends with them. In case this is an issue with Thumbtack clients, I should say that they all speak perfect English. They were very respectful of our privacy while they worked. They consulted us appropriately with questions and provided us with lots of resources to decide on materials to use. The final bill was about 30% of what we expected to pay for all this work. They aren't ripping anybody off. The work they did was very high quality. The patio, the walls, the benches...it looks like the Ritz Carlton! I can't say enough good things about this company!

Highly recommend! I had a small residential project, needing some concrete removed. Other quotes were 2-4 times as high. Caesar was easy to communicate with and the work was done efficiently and quickly. We also ended up having the team come back to add some rock to our yard and remove a couple other things. I would definitely use them again.

Miguel and his helper were excellent at removing my saguaro.  You can't even tell there was a plant as they filled the hole and covered it back up with my rocks.  He is courteous and his price beat everyone else I contacted.  He assured me the cactus is going to a good place.  It was a healthy plant but it was too close to the sidewalk.  I highly recommend this company if you need removal services.  He let me know a water line for the watering system was broke and he repaired it as well.  Very honest and I so appreciated that!

Reliable, economical, and versatile. They have done everything from masonry to landscaping to minor home repairs.Highly recommended.

These guys really know their stuff when it comes to concrete work. Super professional, and truly value the customer!

I were able to beat out the competition in price and still offer more!

Please gives these guys a call if your looking for commercial or residential concrete work!

SFM has been rebuilding my bottom & top patios as well as repainting them & this company has preformed the work well until i arrived to my property covered in dirt, trash and debris that has yet to be cleaned up. Alfonzo is supposed to be the manager or overseeing the work and he's clearly neglected to do so.
This company was also asked to communicate when they would be on the SHARED COMMON area of my home. Instead they invaded the private space of a sexual assault victim with zero care or concern for the well-being and deserved common courtesy when being on the property she OWNS. For the safely of others I'd recommend working with a company that CARES & NOT SFM.

Since leaving this review this company send more workers to my house WITHOUT NOTICE. The job isn't completed and they have damaged items that weren't damaged upon arrival. The excuse given was that the one to oversee the work had covid so he allowed work to continue, things to be damaged, my safely to be threatened & now I'm awaiting for further communication regarding when things will be corrected and communicated. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND SFM TO ANYONE !!!!

This company has still sent workers to my property UNANNOUNCED, they placed stucco OVER DAMAGE !  
They can not be trusted on your property. If the work isn't being overseen by a homeowner expect SFM TO CUT CORNERS AND NOT PROPERLY FIX the issue.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY  AS WELL AS THE Super intendant Alfonso Salazar. Who clearly does not care about the quality of work being performed

Was disappointed that this business chose to not reply to my requests for a quote to add some height to my backyard wall.  It was set up thru Yelp to send the request to several businesses, but this one chose not to reply.

After numerous no shows, on November 7th he came out with 1 guy to prep, arrived late , left the debris from excavation. I gave him $1500 cash, 1/2 of the quoted amount for the job, so he could order the concrete. Then repeated no shows with no contact unless I contact him. Now he's not responding to my texts, calls, messages or posts. I requested a $1200 refund generously leaving him $350 for the less than 5 hours work for him and his assistant, that's $35 per hour which is way over the going rate.

It's now December 3rd my pour was supposed to happen November 3rd and this has impacted my project and I've had to cancel my contractor who was supposed to do the sheet metal covering for this area.

I had used Freddie's Concrete in the past and was pleased with the service and results but this time has been a DISASTER. I am not the only person he's done this to, someone else on FB was taken for $3200.
