Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. is one of the best out there, period! My wife and I started 2025 wanting to do a complete backyard makeover. We began by ripping out existing plants, pavers, brown gravel, and artificial turf for both a putting green and a general use area. We started by building a pool (a cheap plug for Dolphin Pools who did an amazing job). After the pool was completed, the second half of the project was ready to begin. This is where Colorworks stepped up to the plate. I could not begin this without mentioning one of the owners, "Jon Hammel". Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. received rave reviews on Google and Yelp, so we reached out and were promptly scheduled for a complimentary estimate. Upon Jon's arrival, I could sense his excitement and creativity as he envisioned transforming our dream backyard into the upgraded space we desired. Although we had a plan in place, Jon skillfully incorporated his unique ideas, resulting in a comprehensive rendering of the project. We were immediately convinced that Colorworks was the ideal choice for our project. What truly set Jon apart was his unwavering honesty and thoughtful approach to refining our existing plan, ensuring that it reached its full potential. I want to clearly state that there are many stages to such a massive project. There are always going to be delays, and we had a few. Additional parts needed to be ordered, and of course, the weather did not always agree (lots of rain). Since our backyard is not the largest, every inch of the project required attention, and Jon fully comprehended that. The project included 3 large retaining walls, 164 Sq ft. of pearlescent travertine, 18 Indian laurel ficus trees with 6 tons of topsoil, 450 sq ft. of Daytona 80 0z turf, 4 stoned columns on a pergola, a wood accent backdrop for pots, and white rocks. This also included taping into existing irrigation drip, electrical lines, and reusing leftover pavers in other areas. Jon (along with our ideas) was the brains of the project, but Cesar Aldama is the contractor who brought it all together. Cesar, along with Ginato, is an excellent team. They showed up on time and worked tirelessly each day, and consistently cleaned up before they left. They always treated our home with respect, and we couldn't help but notice. Cesar is an expert in construction projects and possesses extensive knowledge in the field. My wife, being meticulous and OCD, wanted perfection in the job. Cesar meticulously coordinated with us on every aspect of the project, providing valuable advice on what could and couldn't be done. He is truly an artist, and we couldn't thank him and Ginato enough. The straightforward truth is that Colorworks fulfilled their promise! I can't forget to mention other members of the team that did amazing work: Jeff (owner), Mark, Manny (Turf installer and his awesome crew). Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. is an exceptional choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. It's one of the easiest 5-star reviews I've ever written. Gary and Terra!

We love spending time outside in this beautiful state of Arizona, but when we moved into our house the backyard did not create a feeling of calm. I called several "landscape designers" and were told "We are too busy", "We only do projects with a $50,000 minimum" or they were a no show to an appointment or never called back. However, Colorworks returned my call same day and had the designer out the next. They listened and worked with us to create a serene, almost spa like atmosphere. The price for what they created was fair. The designer or owner was there everyday of the project to ensure it was done right. The entire ream was professional and actually fun to work with. We made several changes during the course of the project and these were handled with the utmost professionalism. We can't wait for the new plants to grow and create a "lush" get-away to enjoy every day of the year!

I am so happy with the work Colorworks delivered. We had a vision and they were able to make it happen. Jeff, Jon and their crew were easy to work with, delivered quality work, were able to work with us despite some hiccups with the permitting process and the cost of the overall project was reasonable. Will definitely call again! Thank you guys, we are so pleased with the results!

We have a small backyard and the previous owner built a huge bbq island smack in the middle of the yard. We had Colorworks come and look at our yard and Karen recommended that we remove the island and fill most of the yard with artificial grass. Colorworks also built a smaller bbq island to the side for us and put a beautiful stone facade on a pool wall. The end result? Way more useable space that is also aesthetically appealing. Before, the patio was filled with brown hardscape and the huge grill cut off one part of the backyard and our family never spent time in the yard. Now we have an inviting lush yard with more space for the children to play. Colorworks completely transformed our backyard! Jeff and Karen were both a pleasure to work with, responsive to all our questions and concerns. I appreciated their expertise and their recommendations. The work their crew did for us was high quality and top notch. Even the repairman who came to service our grill was impressed with the bbq grill Colorworks built for us.

WITHOUT QUESTION...#1 LEADER IN THE BUSINESS!!!!! I believe that Jon and his entire team at Colorworks Landscape & Design are the best of the best. There is absolutely no one else who is better or who can even come close to the level of expert craftsmanship that Jon is committed to in everything that he does. He is a true artist and a master of his trade. Every suggestion and recommendation that he made brought our ideas to life in ways that we would never have imagined on our own and in the end our property redesign exceeded all of our expectations. We had both our front and back patios totally redone and the entire project was completed within three weeks. There was quite a bit of demolition work that needed to be done on existing tiles, concrete slabs, etc. and everyone did everything possible to minimize any disturbances to us and all of our neighbors. Always on time and NEVER late, Jon and his team were totally dependable and delivered on every promise made...and then some. From the moment that you first meet Jon you can tell that he is someone who can be trusted. He does not play games or have any hidden agendas. He is upfront and honest about everything and is far more concerned about the quality of the work that's being done for you than he is about the check that you'll be writing for him. I know that ours was somewhat modest compared to the lavish, upscale and more expensive projects that land on Jon's agenda. But not once did he treat us like we were a lower priority assignment. If fact he made us feel like we were his MOST important customer from the day the work got started right up through the very last hour on the job. I could go on but as you can see by the other reviews posted to this website...I am not alone when I say that Colorworks Landscape and Design is #1 and without question the best in the business

Colorworks landscaping went above and beyond on all my expectations. Their customer service and quality of workmanship is top notch. They took my idea and delivered nothing short of what you see in magazines and tv shows.

We hired colorworks to redesign our backyard. The entire team was exceptional from start to finish. Karen (our project manager) was hands on through the entire process. We really wanted travertine, but also wanted to stay within our budget. Karen helped us do just that by helping us find some discounted travertine and by making some good trade off recommendations to get the most bang for our buck. Cesar (the primary contractor) performing the work was outstanding at bringing our vision to life. I am a perfectionist and can therefore be hard to please sometimes, but Cesar's work was flawless. Communication from Karen, Cesar, and Jeff throughout the entire project was excellent. They were also timely in beginning and completing the project and were great about cleaning up after themselves throughout the project (there was lots of old material to haul away after the initial demo especially). I would recommend them to anyone looking to complete a big or small project in their backyard!

I wish there were a way to add extra stars! Despite a small hiccup in the middle of the design process, Jon, Armando and especially our job foreman, Juan Carlos, were true professionals. They offered great suggestions and thought of things to improve our project that had never occurred to us. The guys who did the actual work ALWAYS showed up on time every day, worked quickly but very carefully, and left the job site immaculate every single day. They are truly artisans! If you want the job done right, on time and on budget, then give Jon and his team a call!

Colorworks just redesigned my front yard and did additional work in my backyard! We couldn't be more pleased. They ripped up a mesquite tree, replaced our irrigation, replaced the rock in the front yard, new lighting in front and back, installed pavers and a pool fence and planted new plants. I loved their ideas and the execution of the work was flawless. They were so easy to deal with and were great with communication. I received multiple quotes and liked them the best from the start. I highly recommend them for any of your design work.

See all

Yelp says they require a $3000 minimum, but when you call, they say $8000. Pretty big discrepancy there.

Having two large dogs, it was a waste having a yard as big as mine as it was made entirely of desert rock. The previous owner had it done this way for the purpose of keeping it cheap and keeping it low maintenance during the years he lived here. Over the last few years after I purchased it, I got 3 quotes from 3 different companies to do a section of turf. I never committed to a company to do it because I didn't feel confident they could deliver what I wanted. Fast forward to two weeks, I met with Sean from Turf Monsters. After hearing my vision for the yard, he was quick about getting me their quote on the same day. Not only that, but he had an extensive knowledge of the kinds of turf they had that would fit my yard best, the process of whole installation, how to maintain it, etc. It wasn't a hard choice; I chose them to do my turf project feeling confident they would handle the job well. And did they ever! At my request, they managed to get my installation scheduled earlier than originally planned. Materials were dropped off and installers showed up as scheduled on the day they began. Every single encounter during the installation was professional and friendly. It took less than the original two-day quote for the 25'x30' area, the three man installation team finishing in only one day. And it turned out better than I had imagined it to! The bright green turf looks stunning with the original rock landscape against it. And the dogs are beyond happy with it, running around and wrestling on it, but also relaxing on it too as it doesn't get super hot in the sun. I've received so many compliments on it from neighbors and friends that have seen it, saying it completely changed the entire backyard for the better. I highly recommend this team to execute your turf desires! A job well done!

But I didn't find out till later when the planter box was all flooded like a lake and overflowing like a river to the street. I found the broken PVC right where I instructed his worker to plant an agave fior me. When I told Isaiah's TFH Landscaping that his worker broke the sprinkler line, ISAIAHs said he would send the worker over to do the repair in a couple days which Isaias said was Tuesday, the worker never showed up. When I called him to say the worker never showed up he said he would come in a couple days and he personally will come and be there. Well Isaias never showed up. What's worse is he used to answer the phone on the first ring and was "always there for me" and even said "You know I am always here for you and I answer the phone". But after he didn't show up two times he wasn't answering the phone anymore .... ever. I left many, many messages telling Isaias I was disappointed that not only does he not show up to do the repair that his worker broke, but he deliberately is ghosting me for weeks. He sees from caller ID it is me calling for him to repair something he damaged (I sent pictures of the hacked irrigation pipe in the hole where the agave got blown outta there from the broken line), so he deliberately does not answer the phone ever again to BE THERE FOR MEEEEE, like he told me previously. That deserves 1 Yelp star. So you think I'm going to do business with him if he doesn't even answer the phone ever? Someone told me "because they don't get paid to repair their mistakes and have to take time out from already paying jobs to go to a job that doesn't pay. I never spoke to Isaias again because he didn't care to come back ad fix the broken pipe his worker hacked to pieces. That deserves 1 Yelp star don't you think? I have a new landscaper who has many solid 5 Yelp stars, and so far he has shown up every time I needed him, right on time, even when he squeezed me in. But I have no experience if he will show up to fix something he didn't do right, because nothing like that has happened so far.
