Best Water Feature Design in Phoenix AZ

Amazing landscaping and masonry company!

Keystone has done a ton of work for us over the past year, and we've been thrilled with the results every time! The owners Daniel and Robert are so pleasant to work with--they're great listeners and they always ensure that things turn out the way we want them. They've given us advice about alternate materials or approaches that might work better than what we had planned, and any time we've gone with their recommendations, it has turned out great. They've helped us problem-solve several tricky aspects of our yard design. We've hired them for so many different things that I couldn't select all the categories. Here are some of the projects they've done for us:

- Masonry and block work, including retaining walls with stucco
- Beautiful stone veneer on our spa facing and travertine tile on the raised bond beam wall of our pool
- They did our pool coping in natural flagstone
- They helped us with some drainage problems where our yard was flooding anytime we had heavy rains
- A parking pad behind our RV gate with concrete pavers
- Custom gas fire pit with stone veneer facing and flagstone surface to match our pool
- CMU corner wall with the same stone materials in our outdoor kitchen area
- And they laid gorgeous silver travertine pavers, connecting our patios seamlessly to our pool decking, with an almost invisible channel drain between

We are about to begin some landscaping/irrigation with them, and then have them install artificial turf for us.

The crews show up when they say they will, and they work hard until the project is completed. And their pricing is competitive. We're so happy we found this company!-

Don't let the contractor/owner do any of the work. Tell him to let the pros do the job.

Best to only give final payment after EVERYTHING is perfect with your pool/patio.

We moved to N Scottsdale about 7 years ago and maintained the pool service company of the previous homeowner.  Unfortunately, due to inconsistent service, it became necessary to find a new service provider.  As I spent my entire carrier servicing customers, over multiple states, utilizing contract labor I have become a little leery when dealing with a new contractor.   However, this is one instance when my apprehension was not justified!  From my first contact with Vanessa to my communication with Barbara this has been a great relationship.  Service is spot on and always timely.  Recently, we had the pool drained and the tile cleaned of stubborn calcium deposits.  The crew did an excellent job and communication during the process was excellent.  This is a company I highly recommend: professionalism and quality at the highest level.    Brian P.

Tony and his crew did a beautiful job of remodeling my pool. The work was done quickly and professionally. Any concerns I had were quickly taken care of. I got six estimates, all from licensed, bonded, reputable companies. Budget was by far the least expensive. Budget also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Give Tony a call, you won't regret it.

Fantastic customer service! Very prompt and thorough. I highly recommend smart pools for new builds, repairs, and weekly service! They actually care about when customers.

We completely ripped out and remodeled our backyard this year and we hired Phil and Shearon Design Collective to help us design everything. Not only did he do a perfect 3D model of what we designed originally, but he also gave feedback and improved on our original design significantly, then redesigned the 3D model. We're so glad we hired him.

Some things that he helped us decide to change were:
- [ ] Overall layout of the pool
- [ ] Height and thickness of the wall
- [ ] Shape and radius of the rounded pillars
- [ ] Placement of the scuppers/water feature
- [ ] Layout of the pavers around the pool (he literally hand drew the pattern)
- [ ] Placement of our pool fence
- [ ] Placement of our cafe light polls and where the lights would fall
- [ ] Placement of the gas line for our removable fire table
- [ ] Layout of our front landscaping

Check out some of the screenshots of the 3D Model he created. If you're doing a backyard remodel, do yourself a favor and hire Phil and his team!

Artistic Alloys was a top-notch 100% company to work with. The beauty of the final product is one that cannot truly be captured by a picture. Scott and his team were professional reliable and true to their word. Thank you Scott for helping to make our renovation beautiful.

Can't say enough, but I will try, about Love Your Pool!  First, Chris takes your call seriously. You won't have to w a i t for a return call. He is a good listener and does not try to bowl you over with his ideas, knowledge, or personality. Chris is very professional in his work, but he is approachable. Have a question? Ask. He will give you the time you need to feel like your  question has been answered and understood. There is no pressure for additional work, no sales pitch. Chris had a great guy working with him today, sorry, forgot his name, and they worked as a team. It's like they read each other's mind. I had this pool installed decades ago, and I know it like the back of my hand. I am cautious about whom I hire. I would not only hire Chris again, I would not hesitate In The Least to recommend Chris and Love Your Pool!

Eddie is one of the most creative general contractor I have ever met.  He too our backyard from barely any workable space to a gorgeous out door kitchen and oasis.  We spend so much Tim in our new yard.  Thank you Eddie!!!

I saw their ad in the Goodyear magazine offering Daytona 60 oz turf $4.75 sq foot. When I spoke to Colby, he stated they use American made turf with 15 year warranty. When he came to the home for measurements, we had him also measure for some other projects. His pricing was high on the drip system, gravel, pavers, acrylic and also wanted to upcharge for additional infill when we had two other companies quote us much less. When we informed Colby that we would stick with the turf only and would use a different company for the other projects we were then informed we would have to pay additional money for curbing. Was given one price then after I caught a math error in their quote they more then tripled their price.
When I pushed back and started to dig into how much the project would cost to DIY I really started to see all their lies unrolling. The turf they offer is not American made and does not have a 15 year warranty. They also were going to cut corners on infill.
When I called them out on this information I was informed the owner has decided to decline your project
what a waste of two weeks and time!! DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR GIMMICS

I purchased my home November 2021 and Sonoran newly remodeled/resurfaced the pool before I purchased it. Within a month of owning the home a pool leak was discovered coming from the pool light, and skimmer throat seal. I contacted Sonoran Water Custom Pools and Spa and was told because I am a new owner that the warranty is not transferrable. I thought to myself okay that's weird that they don't stand behind their service. So I went ahead and spent over $1000 to drain the pool and fix the leaks. Additionally it was recommended that I fix the foundation bellow my pool pump because the pump was placed over unstable ground.
Now 5 months later another water leak is discovered. This time the tile is found to be cracked leading to the pool steps. Why is the pool that is newly resurfaced already having cracks in the tile and pebble tec? Both my leak detection professional and pool maintenance person were surprised that this is happening so soon after the pool was resurfaced. The only logical answer as to why is that the pool company didn't fix all the problems under and around the pool before it was resurfaced.
I have reached out the Sonoran about these problems and haven't received a call back. If they are a reputable pool company they should care about the quality of their work and stand behind their services. I am afraid what other leaks and cracks this pool will have in the future because in less than 6 months I have had 3 sources of leaks. I do not recommend anyone uses this company until they start taking responsability for the services they provide.

Two stars because we do in fact have a hole we can fill with water and it mostly works fine for now. I don't trust the integrity of the pool one bit though unfortunately. Also because they did eventually cover the plumbing on the back of the water feature... though it doesn't look much better. And they have communicated sometimes which I guess is better than blowing us off completely.

Please use any other company unless you want months and months of on going issues long after your pool is done. We have had nothing but issues since. Someone came out to inspect over a month after we emailed letting them know we had issues with the pool and then it took us calling after a month of not hearing back to be told we're working on it. The original inspector noted that the water fountain is crooked, there was grout missing and grout that was there was a mess, the tiles on top of the water fountain were uneven and two are cracked, they took out too much dirt from our yard and put the pool in raised but did not fill back in the yard so there were holes all over included where they put the plumbing and electrical down, and on the waterfall they didn't cover the plumbing so you could see the pipes, they also sprayed something all over our wall. We didn't hear back for a couple months and then all of a sudden without warning or notice we come home and the plumbing on the back of the waterfall has been speckled all over but was not painted to match anything else on our pool. So I guess that's kind of fixed... and they did bring in dirt to fill it in. But why did we have to all but beg you to do those things in the first place?

I waited 6 months before leaving a review but at this point I'm not sure what else to do. Last week someone randomly showed up knocking relentlessly while I was working with a patient and making my dogs go off. I had to interrupt my patient and put them on hold. When I told him he could not come in because his visit was unscheduled and I am working he was upset. Again, unscheduled visit today from someone saying they were here to fix the crack in the deck.

We sent these pictures in emails, because they work in the office and contract out for people to do these jobs, in hopes they could help. But they keep sending people that aren't really fixing the issues and are instead just making more ex. fix for the exposed plumbing and now we have a cracked deck. We are just so disappointed.
