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.

We asked Valleywide to come out and give a quote for quite a bit of demo work in our back and front yards that included haul away, concrete demo, block demo. Initially, Ben was so friendly and promised quite of bit on behalf of his company. His initial consultation with us even gave hope that he could eventually help us do some extensive remodel to the back door/patio of our house and the back wall of our master bedroom. When it came time to estimate the project, Valleywide advised they were equipped to do not only our demo and haul away, but also construct a new block wall, lay a new cement slab and install new gates for us. We were so excited to have found an all-in-one company, so we scheduled our project as soon as they were free.

Once the project started, it was downhill from there. They first advised they'd be a day late, then days late, then over a week late. Once they began, the demo went okay aside from a cracked drip line that we repaired ourselves. The pivot from demo to construction was atrocious. We were told a mason was scheduled to come out to construct our block wall. They didn't show for a week. After some serious questioning from our neighbors and HOA, we pressured Valleywide to get back out ASAP, and they ultimately did show up the following Monday but without a mason. Ben and his partner, who didn't appear to be masons, spent the better part of three days trying to figure out how to properly align our wall. They laid slab over the footings and ultimately created an uneven base for their project. We don't love the end result, but the wall was finally finished after the mason arrived on Thursday that week. In short, it as a sloppy finish that we'll have to sand down before we paint.

Lastly, the real kicker for me is in the details. From the beginning of this project, our biggest concern was installing new gates that properly fit the fence openings, opened and closed with ease (unlike our last RV gate) and did not offer any openings big enough for our small dogs to fit through. Late Friday afternoon, the final day of the project, one guy was left on the job installing the gates. They were installed with a substantial opening at the bottom that our dogs could easily crawl under. The gentleman was nice enough to adjust the height at the end of his shift. When I opened and closed the RV gate, i realized they overlapped slightly and will not close without some force. Worse off, you have to throw your shoulder into the gate to get it to open. And as if that's not frustrating enough, they used the smallest screws to attach the composite slats to the frame that do not go all the way through the slat. In less than 2 weeks, most of those screws popped right off and are completely incapable of holding the fence slats together. When I asked Ben about the construction and size of the frame, his answer was that's as good as we can get it. We'll be in the market soon for a properly fitted gate to replace the complete waste of money this gate ended up being.

If it isn't clear by now. I would not recommend allowing this company to take your money and contract out some truly terrible work. Their demo quality (the namesake of their company) was fine. Do yourself a favor and put in the extra leg work to have other professional companies do the rest of the job.

I recently (Dec 2014) used Crash of Rhinos to paint the exterior of my 2500 sf Central Phoenix home. The total cost was $3100.

Rhinos was slightly more expensive than the other bid that I received but I am delighted that with the job that they did. While other painters would just show up and paint, Rhinos spent a solid two days to prep/protect the house rather than just slap paint on. The job was done amazingly well and the crew was top notch. They took unbelievable care of my house to make sure that the painting was done right.

As a sign of their confidence in themselves, they take no money up front and you simply pay at the end when you are satisfied. I now see why they do this: we were delighted with the job that they did and would use them again in a flash.

We also used Kim to provide a paint consult and that was well worth the money as well. Her input was well worth the $125.

This is one of those rare places where their five star rating is well deserved. I would not hesitate to use them again.

They did a wonderful job setting up my back yard. The way they positioned everything is so precise.  I love the job they did.

Needed an 11x11 concrete pad put in for a tub. It came out well enough that I asked for additional work around the property and would recommend Gustavo and his crew to anyone needing concrete work done. Communication, workmanship, and follow up post work was all excellent and I will be calling them for future projects.

Seriously, I don't know whom is more amazing:

1) Me, for finding Falcon Landscaping and Pavers on Yelp; or

2) Yelp, for building a service that helps us all evaluate great companies; or

3) Joseph Lynch, owner of Falcon Landscapes and Pavers, for transforming our formerly boring and dated backyard into a spectacular outdoor plaza that you could comfortably entertain 30 or more guests.

When we first called Falcon Landscapes and Pavers, we thought we just wanted to put pavers in our backyard and maybe spread some new soil around.

What we got was a completely renovated backyard with beautiful pavers and such a unique renovation that we now want to spend most of our time in our backyard, rather than inside.

Even more importantly, Joseph Lynch and his terrific team replumbed the entire backyard and set up a drainage system that solved our persistent problem, that of rain water seeping into our concrete patio and home foundation. Now the rainwater washes over the vegetation and the runoff goes into the back alley.

So please stop reading this review and just call Joseph Lynch, of Falcon Landscapes and Pavers. You may have to call several times, because his voicemail fills up a lot with new customers, and it may take some time to get on his schedule. But your efforts will be well rewarded and one day you may find yourself, like us, spending most of your time outside in your beautiful new backyard.

Efficient and professional. The driveway turned out great! Gave some good recommendations after to help maintain the concrete.

Completely dependable, willing to re-evaluate their initial resolution to correct a building poorly constructed (by a different company), A-1 Concrete created the needed remedy.    My job was relatively small, but still they chose to address my problem thoughtfully with attention to the aesthetic side to the repair as well.

American Materials came out and poured two sections for me. Footer for the back yard and front driveway extension. Guy was awesome and worked with us in getting the truck in the back to pour. Was recommended by Rock Solid. Keep in mind this is a mix on site truck and not a ready to pour truck. I guess it makes a difference in consistency for the cement. Either way these fellas did a great job and my finisher nailed it. Thanks fellas.

Scottsdale Concrete did a fantastic job with my concrete project. It was quite complicated and they knocked it out of the park. They are reliable, skilled and kind. Call them now for your concrete needs!

We had some concrete work done last week and our contractor used Rock Solid Concrete. The driver Vince showed up on time and was very professional and courteous.
Once everything got going, there was a new guy learning concrete and Vince was very outgoing in helping train the new guy and being bilingual was a plus since this played a vital role in helping train the new guy.
Vince also shared his knowledge with me, the home owner, on what was going on, the terms and signals that were being used, just general overall concrete tutoring basically.
Vince is not just typical driver fo xyz company, he legitimately cares that he is professional, outgoing, caring of the job at hand, and wants to make sure the job is done right and that the customer is well take care of.
Great job hiring Vince! He will be a great leader for your company.

Super prompt and diligent in responding to my request for a quote and offered to come out right away to assess the space and provide options. Would definitely recommend!

Tony was punctual and Crew was on time. Brick added to home and did great job. Follow up and contact was  awesome.

Were just here for landscape maintenance.  I submitted requests to 8-9 companies on here.  2 showed up.  They were able to come the quickest.  Did a great job, quickly, and good price.  Saved in phone.  Will do again

Great company to work with , had a kitchen remodeled and it came out better than I was expecting ! Very professional and everything was done on time .

EXACTLY what James had promised. No schedule changes, on time, fair price, done professionally and good communication pre and during project. Good job Robbie! You are definitely my go-to guys for all things concrete.

Don't use Louis!!! My project went from only suppose to be 2 days long to over a week. He quoted me $1900, started the framing then said it'll be an additional $1,000. I gave in and spent the extra money hoping for good quality work.

I am now redoing over 50% of the concrete he poured because it's not the correct measurements, it's uneven and horrible quality. Don't waste your money or time.
