Best Outdoor Firepit Design in Phoenix AZ

Original: Had to have another company come out and redo the work. Drop lines had to be added and fixed, new irrigation system installed, essentially everything.

Update: Thank you for the business reply and for telling me everything is my fault. However, nothing broke, and all is working fine, so that was not the issue; the issue was none of the work I paid for getting done and having to pay another person to fix it after this business failed in the first place to do. Additionally, I did not appreciate the business offering a partial refund to remove my reviews. I simply wanted the work done right the first time.

Absolutely fantastic company to work with! They made all our drams fr our backyard come true! Great communication skills.  They were quick and we loved the 3D video! They listened to our every word, land they et us add and delete items throughout the process.  Super affordable too!

I had been working on my yard for some length of time on my own.  I finally got tired of that and these guys came to the rescue.  They worked fast and they worked very professionally.  EVERYTHING is exactly how I wanted it.  They followed the requested plan to the letter and let me know every step of the way what they were doing and answered each of my questions.  They even went above and beyond answering questions and making suggestion on work that I had already done or am planning to do on my own.  Going as far as to offer to answer any question I had about those plans in the future should I find a need for further information.  If you are looking for a friendly and professional team then these are the people you need to get to work for you.  They are very, very busy but worth the wait in line.

I used to deal with Manny who was a co-owner and Brother of Miguel, another co-owner. Manny left the business and I started to deal with Miguel. I won't work with this business after interacting with Miguel. While Manny was trustworthy specially that I am in San Diego and did remote work with him while he is at Phoenix, I did not feel the trust working with his brother Miguel. who was quick to dip into my pockets for landscaping job and got super irritated when asked about his prices. Despite doing so much work with them he told me if you don't like my prices leave, and this is poor customer service for someone who spend a lot of work and jobs with them.

For that particular job that caused the relationship to deteriorate, it was my first ever interaction with Miguel about irrigation not working at a house. He called me to tell me all valves are bad like four in the front and 3 in the rear, timer is bad, there is probably a broken pipe and he asked for over $1200 for the valves alone valves while he finds a timer and quote me a price. He told me this won't guarantee things to work as we will dig deep etc... as he thinks there is a broken pipe. I was surprised that everything went bad out of a sudden and I found his prices not reasonable too considering the parts are cheap per Home Depot.

To make story short, I hired another professional and he replaced two valves, a broken pipe for $266 and all is fine.

The conclusion is either Miguel is incompetent at the job or basically he wanted to dip deep into my pockets to take advantage of me being remote.

Very nasty

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Irene and her crew. They arrived on time every day, worked until the job was done and were very accommodating. They wanted to make sure we were happy every step of the way. They completed 2 projects for us. The first being our front courtyard. We wanted it to feel cozy and welcoming, like a front porch back east. They removed the sidewalk and gravel and replaced the whole area with pavers. They even worked a drip system in so that I could have my potted plants maintained with little effort. It definitely made a difference and it gives us another place to sit and visit.
The second project was our back yard. We have 2 large trees that provide a lot of shade, which is great except when it comes to grass. The grass just struggled to survive without enough light. So, we had them extend our paved area a bit, rework the paved border, freshen up the gravel and add artificial turf. It made all the difference for us. We want to spend every moment we can out back now. And our grandkids love it too! Irene and her crew created two very comfortable and functional spaces for us. We couldn't be happier.

They did a very good job and I included before and after pics. Highly recommend this company.

I was referred to Montoya's landscaping by a current client of theirs.  I requested a quote for a lawn cleanup of leaves.  I recently moved into a new house and did not have the time to remove leaves with all the unpacking.  I specifically said if it was under $100 to go ahead and anything more to just leave a quote.  

I come home to a yard half cleaned.  The flower beds and ground cover were never touched.  I expected a bill of $100 or less and was disappointed with the half-assed job done.  

To my surprise a couple days later, I received a bill on my door for nearly 4 times the amount I was expecting it to be.  -I was shocked and in disbelief.  I explained the situation to their owner and he insisted I pay him more than the $100 I said was my max and this is on top of the fact he only did half of my yard.  I compromised and agreed to double what I wanted to pay since he did do some of the work.  

I would warn all homeowners to never use them and if you make the mistake, to make sure you have everything in writing.  That still may not be enough as he will just show up and do a subpar job and charge you way more than you were told and then hound you for payment.

Unprofessional and unacceptable.  I will be reporting them to the better business bureau.

This is an awesome company! They worked so hard on my yard!! It was full of weeds/trash, they turned my embarrassing ugly backyard into a clean and functional yard. I am so very pleased with the work they did. They went above and beyond! I can't say enough good things. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. We will be using sun of the valley from here on out! Thank you so much for all the work you guys did!

Juan and his team were FANTASTIC! Quick reply , good estimate and the work dine was top notch ! He is a great communicator I would strongly recommend him and his crew the quality was terrific !

Robert at Paseo Hardscapes did an outstanding job rebuilding a block column and footer for my side gate. I'm very pleased with the quality of work. I will surely consider them for future projects when needed.

We had a great experience with JNK. They did a beautiful job on our backyard! When we reached out for a quote, we got an immediate response. Naji came out and was very professional and knowledgeable! We would use JNK landscaping again and highly recommend them.

Very knowledgeable and gives you all the details you want before starting a job. They were a referral to me and I would refer them to others. I will use them for all my landscaping in the future.

I'll give Craig and his crew 6 stars if only possible. They did an amazing job to our backyard at a very reasonable price. They are very efficient and reliable. Not only Craig provides excellent customer service, he goes above and beyond with what he can do for you to make it worthwhile hiring AZ NativeScapes for your landscaping. But most of all, I like Craig's honesty and upfront dealings with you. You really can't go wrong with these guys. More power to you Craig and the rest of the crew!

By the way, Craig checked our plants and changed the dead ones. Thanks again Craig!  - Richard and Grace from Chandler.

This company gets the job done to perfection.
I couldn't ask for a better first meeting.
They go out of their way to explain everything.
If you want a professional and reasonable company look no further.
10 stars as far as I'm concerned.

After a long search for a landscaper to do our backyard (we had 10 come out to quote us before him), we landed on Isai and his team. I messaged them through Yelp and they responded quick and came within a couple days to give me a quote. I was really unsure with what I wanted to do with my backyard but Isai came out and had some great design ideas for me and my wife. We had a good conversation with him and both felt then and there during the estimate that he was the one we wanted to go with. Isai communicated with us and answered his phone when we called with trying to get this scheduled. Huge plus since a lot of the other landscapers we got quotes from did not call back or took a few days to call back. We had mostly concrete that needed to be demo'd and then we were going to put some pavers in and turf. Isai's team came out and did an phenomenal job. It turned out a lot better than I expected and I love it! I would definitely recommend using Bless Tierra for your landscaping needs!

After a recommendation from a neighbor in 2016 I decided to call Erik. He promptly answered the phone and recommended I fill out a form on his website with what we wanted. Erik scheduled a no cost estimate and came by and walked the yard and made suggestions that were within our budget. We wanted plants, trees, artificial grass, and built in BBQ/eating area and fire pit. We had other estimates but we felt comfortable dealing with Erik. We agreed on everything and he sent us a design and estimate in writing via email. We didn't have to pay the full amount up front either. We paid installments depending on work completed! The job was completed in a timely fashion. His workers were polite, hard working and cleaned up after they finished. Erik doesn't SUB out his work. It's him and his own guys on the job. His masonry guys do top notch work! We had one tree die due to the Arizona heat and Erik promptly replaced it no questions asked! This work was all done 3 years ago! Fast forward to 2019 we needed more masonry and landscape work done. We called Erik. He's really busy and is booking 9-10 weeks out! We agreed to that! Erik showed up this past Monday with his crew promptly at 7am! It was the same crew that did our yard 3 years ago! It's obvious that Erik is s great boss and takes care of his workers! It's nice to see the same guys do great work again! The yard looks amazing! Thank you again Erik! We will use you again for the other ideas we have!

When we moved into our home, we loved the house, but hated the back yard. So after a few years, we decided it was time to get er' done. I knew how I wanted it to look, and thanks to AZ Dreamscapes, that vision was realized.

I researched several Landscape Companies with most telling me the same things. It wasn't until i met with Scott that I realized I wouldn't have to have both cool decking and pavers. Scott told me about veneer pavers that go over the cement so there would be no transitions or marriage lines. That was news to me, and totally changed things. Prior to this, I was expecting to incur additional costs by having to re-coat the cool deck, something I really didn't want to do. We now have a paver paradise, haha. The look we have now is so much better than what we would have achieved from another contractor. Ours was not a small job, it was a complete backyard renovation, and AZ Dreamscapes pulled it off.

AZ Dreamscapes took care of the City permits and HOA paperwork. They did a great job and we have already had many compliments on how beautiful our yard looks. We know we will be making many family memories here.

If you're wondering whether AZ Dreamscapes can deliver, yes...yes they can.

Side Note - With any renovation, there will always be hiccups along the way, but Scott and his crew took care of them and handled every situation professionally.

We had Tough Turtle put in synthetic grass in our yard and it was installed meticulously and perfectly and looks fantastic!  Thank you Tough Turtle!

I had a great experience with CitiScapes. They were able to clean up my front yard within my budget. Great customer service and very communicative through the whole process. I can't wait to tackle my backyard next!!

Just coming on here as a heads up to you all. Whatever you do. Do NOT hire Anthony Diaz (TreeTop landscaping) for any landscaping work. We hired him in December to complete our yard as we just bought our first home. We were so excited and he was eager to start. We paid for the materials ourselves and we paid him for the work through Venmo. He is super nice and replied to me quickly in the beginning. I have pavers and 5 tons of gravel sitting in my driveway since January. He started the job but has not finished and just keeps promising to come and never shows up. Uses every excuse in the book. at this point we have the HOA on our buts and are probably out $4,800. We just want our $$ back but he has stopped replying to us. He is just a scamming people at this point as we are not the first he does this too. I really wish I would have done more research as I found a couple other reviews. Take our experience as a lesson and save yourself some money, headache, and stress by not hiring him.
