Best Playground Construction in Phoenix AZ

Awesome experience with this company. Rafa was professional, courteous, personable, straightforward, and gave a reasonable quote for what we wanted. The project was done less than the time promised, and the clean-up was flawless. We obtained up to six quotes from some of the top companies, and Envision's was the best! Kudos to Rafa & his crew. They definitely deserve a raise! lol

Not great communicators and questionable customer service. Found out from the sales rep they denied my bid, but that was only after not hearing back from them for over a week, and then having to reach out to them again to find out what was going on.

Mike did a great job estimating my job and did so very quickly and with good communication. These guys are a great value for their turf products and installation.

I was very Happy with the quality work they did. They redid whole drip system and planted the plants I picked. They left everything very clean. I would recommend them to others.

Didn't do any business with them as they didn't seem to want my business... I asked for an estimate through the easy to use yelp app and I was immediately contacted back that they needed more information. I then sent more information including pictures when all I really wanted was somebody to come out and actually do an estimate... I got no response or call or anything.

I found AZ NativeScapes on Angie's List and with all of their outstanding reviews, it was an easy choice to call them to redo my backyard. The owner, Craig, happened to be in my neighborhood that day, so he came over after finishing another yard to give me an estimate. I told him what I wanted to have done and he didn't run away, so that was another good sign. He told me things that would work in this climate and which things wouldn't. He also told me which parts I could save money on if I wanted. He literally painted a visual on the ground of the new yard layout. It was about an hour of us discussing my dream backyard and then he gave me a price and date within a few minutes. It was easy to say YES! I gave him half of the cost down and paid the second half when it was done. They started about a week later. Have you ever seen Yard Crashers on HGTV? They came in, they demolished and they created the yard of my dreams! It was an exciting 3 days at my house, and now every day after work, I love sitting on my patio and having some bbq. AZ NativeScapes really is the BEST!

Eddie and Dalia were amazing to work with from start to finish. There was constant communication every step of the way. They take pride in there work and make sure it is done right. I highly recommend using Innovative Pool Systems for building your pool.

I could not ask more from Jason and his crew at The Hardworkers. On the day they arrived to provide a bid, they started the job. His pricing is fair and Jason is simply just a good guy to work with. They performed the requested job as advertised, were attentive, and did not leave a dirty work site as well as lived up to their name, The Hardworkers. I will 100% use Jason and The Hardworkers for my future projects.

Cary was awesome to work with!! From day one, he presented us with the most professional hand drawn, colored yard design. He has a phenomenal team that does nothing less than perfect. Cary was at our house at least 3x/day to check on the crew and make sure everything was going smoothly. We extended our driveway and even though Cary ordered the correct color, it appeared slightly off since it was a different batch than the original driveway. Without hesitating, Cary replaced all of the pavers with a handpicked batch.  A+ customer service and with excellent attention to detail. Cary only uses top quality products. Strongly recommend!!

Martin and his team did an excellent job finishing our backyard pavers and artificial grass areas.  They started work early and worked hard into the early evening to finish the job. Martin and his workers were very skilled at their craft, courteous and professional.  The pricing was fair.  We were very pleased with their work and will use them again. We highly recommend their services.

Posted our needs on Yelp and was able to get a response from them immediately. They even beat competitor estimates. The team was fast and efficient in getting the job done above our expectations! Highly recommend.

Roman came out to install turf in my back yard, the general install and process was fine. However when we noticed an issue with the turf he said he would come back out and take a look and then just ghosted me after.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

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...

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.
