Best Playground Design in Phoenix AZ

I love this company!! They are patient , so hard working and amazing!!! I will use them from here on out for all my future projects. Their product is amazing. Their timeline to finish my project was amazing and their pricing is so reasonable. I love this company. Rafael is so responsive and willing to work with any budget or projects. Highly recommend!

Reached out to Paul of Happy  Tree Landscaping to trim 3 palms and I tree in the front of the house. He gave me a fair price and committed to being here on Monday at 8:00am. The team of three were right on time and did a good job of trimming , picking up all the palms  and bark , swept the area , picked off palms off the roof , picked up and skimmed the pool. They worked hard and did a great job. I would definitely recommend and use them again.

Jason and Joel, with The Hard Workers, just completed a renovation of our back yard. We had no fewer than six bids for this pretty major project. Jason came over at the time he said he would. He walked us through his vision, took some measurements and got back to us that night with an estimate. Jason was not the least expensive but was very reasonable. After agreeing to work together, Jason assisted us in selecting materials and mapped out his approach. The end result was better than we could have every expected. Each cut of the travertine, the care taken when acid washing the pool, the seams in our new turf, the perfect lines and grading of the new paver walk way...every detail was important. We could not be happier. These guys cleaned up every night before they left, could not have been nicer and more respectful to my family and my dogs, and frankly they became like friends. The only reason I gave them five stars is because six was not an option.

Working with Brian Kelly from start to finish was a pleasure. He took my original ideas and added his artistic experience to make it even better. The entire project (4000+sq') was started on schedule and completed start to finish in just under 3 days. Tom was one of the best project managers I've worked with, and his crew was amazing!

I would highly recommend this company to my family and friends!
These Guys are pro's

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire innovative pools to remodel our 17 year old pebble tech pool.   I was referred to Innovative by another pool company that was too busy to take on the job and preferred not to travel to central Phoenix.  I will start by saying that to this day, I never met in person Eddie or David from Innovative.  I did the entire remodel long distance from Chicago via text, email, and photos.  Eddie is  knowledge and instantly accessible via text from beginning to end. We were able to finish our entire remodel within less than two weeks without even being there.  This is highly unusual.   The workmanship was top of the line and our new pool looks magnificent.  Innovative exceeded our expectations in every way.  I was able to see our new pool for the first time this past Saturday.  Once again innovative exceeded my expectation, the pool is stunning. I don't often write reviews but I was so happy with Ed's work I just had to share my experience.

As with others, Cary stole our money, wouldn't respond to calls or text messages, and abandoned our project.  He's a complete fraud and criminal.  I've also been told he is starting a new licensed company under his son's name to continue to rob people.  I'm hoping someone has a way to stop this criminal before he robs other customers of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Was very happy with Creative Yards, hired them for synthetic grass install in my backyard and they did a great job!

Great job and they gave us a beautiful yard. They were very thorough with their measuring and leveling. They are very knowledgeable too!

SOO happy with the work they did. I bought my house about 8 months ago. The back yard needed a lot of work. There was a ton of patch jobs and old rockery. During the quote and consultation process, Bobby gave great advice and was knowledgeable of the materials and landscaping process. He made sure he understood what I wanted and sought clarifying questions. In doing so, I was confident that what I was looking for would be provided to the T.

When Bobby came over for the quote he provided me with samples of turf that I could feel and compare, pictures of the materials, as well as a write up of the plans.

Sion, the project manager, oversaw the project. He reached out right away and was on top of everything.

Bobby and Sion helped me visualize the plans, walked me through exactly what was happening, and were always a phone call away for any concerns

I felt comfortable the whole way through. AGT is responsive, quick on the job, and very good at what they do.

So so happy with the end results and would 100% recommend them to any future customers.

Be careful with this group.   sometimes great work and sometimes rushed.    the rush has cost me thousands in a water leak i didn't know about for 6 months.   they had a water leveler that was higher than a hole for a cord.    yes.  that really happened.  

Irene was rarely out to check on details .   i was more a project manager than her.    and of course i had to tell her what was not done so i wouldn't be charged.   sloppy.  

very disappointed.  i have taken on extra work just to pay for my water bill and to undo the plumbing they messed up.  

if you can project manage then great, otherwise watch out.    wrong colored pavers they refused to fix.   my friends think it's ridiculous that they didn't 'see it'.  

so disappointed.

This review is not regarding their product since we made our best efforts to try to have them come in for an on-site estimate. Called the business a couple of times- first time spoke with someone and they immediately asked if I could just text them and basically hanged up. Text the business and no response. Called again and left a voicemail with no response.
Ended up contracting another local business.

Great work -- Great Price -- Was impressed that they responded to my email for services in a prompt fashion!!    Had trees trimmed and general maintenance - great work.  I will be calling them again and recommend to anyone.

This is the best investment we have made to our home.  We had spoke to and interviewed a few companies but could never get what we really wanted.  This created procrastination on our part as we did not want to invest unless we knew we got exactly what we wanted.  The plan was never clear until Craig came over, asked us what we want, sprayed some lines on the ground, worked up a written quote and then came back with a cad picture to allow us to visualize it.  

Working with Craig was the absolute best, he is a true professional.  I like how he interacts with his crew as he was on the job daily and was very flexible and offering no surprises during or after the job.  Actually, I am picky and somewhat high maintenance on large projects, since I want to learn as they do without breaking a sweat.  I had watched them work every day, asked questions, and added a few items during the process.  I can honestly say that they put so much forethought and work in the preparation if the sub surface planning for the overall project.  

I think a lot of people have bad experiences as they only focus on the visual product and that is where some of the other quotes lacked, Craig's crew took their time and did it 100% correct and with the highest quality in workmanship.  Much if their time was spent grading, preparing the sound surface for the travertine, flow of the water in the yard and working as a team to finish in about a week.

He and his crew truly love what they do and have a passion for it.  When he said he would do the job like its his own home, he meant it and delivered.  Craig even made a few trips over afterwards to check on the plants and grass to assure it was rooting correctly- adjusting watering schedules etc.  

My only regret is I did not take photos of the yard before, perhaps Craig has some he can upload. It was a weedy dirt lot with a pool in the middle.

Craig, I appreciate what you and your company has brought my family, we can now use our large backyard which extended our living space and enjoy the outdoors.  The value you had brought to us can not be expressed in dollars.  I also want to point out your passion for what you do and want to thank you for working within our budget.  We intend to refer you to our clients, friends and family.  Please feel free to keep our gate key and bring your future clients by to see the great quality of your finished product.

I can't say enough about these guys! From the quote to the final product they were always in contact making sure we were happy! They did an amazing job on our side yard!  We love the final product from the turf to concrete to new RV Gate.

Thanks Custom Outlooks, for wasting my time.

My project consists of tearing out an old deck in the back yard, removing a large tree and 16 much smaller trees, forming and backfilling a new raised deck area with fill, and paving over it with travertine, and installing pavers on the east side of the house in addition to trimming some large trees.

My project is not a 6-figure job but for damn sure, it's a decent 5-figure job for a contractor with enough integrity and business sense to follow through.
Having kept a Custom Outlooks advertisement and business card from a prior home & garden show, I set up an appointment with Jesus to come to my home on June 3.  

Jesus arrived and I explained the project to him when he arrived. He was professional, although on the downside of friendly. But, I wasn't looking for personality; I was looking for skills and value so I wasn't too concerned. We chatted about the project and he promised me a quote the following week. It's now been six weeks since I met with Jesus and have never heard diddly squat from him or anyone else at Custom Outlooks. Needless to say, I've gotten other estimates and permanently crossed Custom Outlooks off my list. They've wasted their time and mine. And now, they'll have the benefit of showing how unreliable they are to any customers foolish enough to ignore this review.  

One other note--which I'm putting in the category of Just Plain Weird: After Jesus and I talked in my back yard about my project, I left him alone to finalize measurements, photos etc. (I'm not totally sure what he was doing out there). I came inside and sat on the couch to wait for him after telling him to just come in the back door when he was finished and I'd let him out the front door. There is no other way out of my back yard except to come through the house. There is a double gate--which is locked at all times. So other than coming to the back door and walking back through my house, the only way out of the back yard is literally, to jump the fence.  Through the back windows, I saw Jesus walking around for a few minutes after I came inside...and then, I didn't. After about 10 minutes of not seeing any more movement in the back yard, I walked outside and found he'd vanished!. I checked in front of my house, and sure enough, his vehicle was gone. I'm not sure when he left or why he didn't simply come to the back door as I'd instructed. Maybe he knew he was going to ghost me and wanted to run off without any insincere pleasantries and without promising me--again--that he'd send me an estimate. Either way, it's just weird as hell that instead of coming back through the house, or at least knocking on the French doors that lead to our back yard, he chose to skulk off without a word by JUMPING THE FENCE. What a freakin' oddball!

Perhaps the current state of the AZ home building and remodeling industry makes companies like Custom Outlooks think they only have to take jobs from folks with a blank dirt lot and a blank checkbook so they can soak people on high-dollar, fancy-schmancy  jobs that include lots of design work and markup. But if that's the case, why not just tell me? I'd much rather have had Jesus tell me something like: based on the size of your job, we'd have a really hard time squeezing it in among our larger projects so you'll probably be better off contacting another company, vs. ghosting me after wasting my time and promising me an estimate that never came.
 
I get it: construction trades--including landscapers--are living the high life right now. Housing starts in the Phoenix area are up and the remodeling industry is booming. There's tons of work and prices are hugely inflated. Lots of contractors believe they can pick and choose what they think are the cream of the crop jobs and treat everyone else like crap without even so much as an explanation, much less an apology for not doing what they said they'd do. But if Custom Outlooks really wants to convince people they're reliable, they should be bright enough to know that boom times come and go and livin' the contractor high life won't last forever--unlike online reviews, which DO...

BE CAUTIOUS!!!! I paid deposit by Venmo $2,000 which was to complete HOA paperwork. This wasn't completed correctly so I ended up measuring and submitting my own forms. Then was asked to pay $5,000 but I was starting to get nervous (& suspicious) but still agreed to send another $3,000 through Venmo to start project.
Now I've paid $5,000 -
SO for $5,000 I basically got some gravel raked and moved around my backyard. See attached pictures-
I am hopeful this post will help someone save their hard earned money from this dishonest company. I suspect we won't see or hear from Anthony or anyone else at TreetopLandscaping. We really wanted to trust & help out small company by giving them business. SO DISAPPOINTED.
