    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.

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

I interviewed several companies for our complete backyard remodel, and it was apparent from the beginning that Sean was the best. He came up with a creative design for our backyard that provided more privacy; an entertainment space with a bar, tv, fire pit; and an outdoor kitchen. He asks questions to understand what your needs are and how you envision yourself using your yard to come up with a 3-D rendering of your ideal space. Sean has an eye for design and thinks of the big picture and the small details. We had to wait several months for the crew to start, but in my mind that was a good sign that Envirogreen was well sought after. They were worth the wait! Envirogreen has their own crews, instead of a bunch of subcontractors. Their crew, led by Abraham, was punctual, reliable, and hardworking. They showed up 5-6 days a week and worked long days until our project was complete. This kind of work ethic and reliability is so rare these days. Sean communicated with us throughout the entire process and his insights allowed us to make some decisions to improve the original plan as needed (i.e.- installed one bigger propane tank to serve our smoker, grill, fire pit, and indoor stove instead of added another smaller one). Envirogreen does good quality work, and we are very happy with the results! When we are ready to have work done on our front yard, we will be calling Envirogreen again!

    I cannot find enough superlatives to describe Envirogreen Landscaping and Sean. We came across his…read morebeautiful designs on his website and immediately got in touch. From the moment we met him, we knew he was going to be the contractor we chose for a full landscape design and implementation from a straight dirt lot. He was the only contractor that arrived on time, came prepared to work, listened to all four of the decision makers for our house, and suggested solutions to resolve all concerns. We hired him to design the landscape which he did on a 3D software that gave us a real feel for what it would look like in real life - honestly, do not hire a designer if they dont provide a 3D drawing. The design was impeccable, every detail was so well thought out and he included features that really showed he was listening to every word we said. We made a few minor changes and he returned the updated designs promptly and exactly as promised. After we all approved the designs, he got his team out to do the install and that was really impressive to watch. His team that ramped up to 10 people was on time every morning and all left after a full days work. Sean's timeframe was spot on, and after he was completed, we were so excited about our new, beautiful landscape. What was once a pile of dirt became a masterpiece, and Sean was our Picasso. That's not all though, I always wait to review until after an issue has been dealt with. We have had a nagging problem with our valves failing causing excess water near the valve box. Sean sent guys immediately that day to resolve the issue by changing the valves. It happened again and Sean realized it was not the valves, but the water pressure, so the day after that he sent out a plumber who did the work on the spot, no questions ask and no additional cost. So it's easy to see why our family has been so impressed with Sean, from his kindness and sincerity at the beginning, to his incredible design talent, to his great installation team, and most importantly his willingness to resolve issues after they are found. We highly recommend Sean to all our friends and family and suggest you considering him as well. We have the best yard in the city now all thanks to him!
