Had to chase them down and verify whether we're even getting the services we're paying for. Shady business practices and zero accountability. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Love this company! Friendly, fast, affordable...will use on all my houses. You won't regret it.read more

STAY AWAY…read more Absolutely unacceptable work. What was supposed to be simple trimming turned into severe over-pruning that completely ruined my plants. Multiple mature, full, flowering shrubs were cut down into stiff, unnatural box-like shapes with most of the blooms removed. The entire look of my yard was drastically changed in a single visit. This is not professional landscaping - it's careless and shows a lack of basic pruning knowledge. When I contacted the owner about it, my concerns were dismissed and he hung up on me. Save yourself the frustration and go with a more competent company. Photos speak for themselves. ***Update***: The owner's response speaks for itself. Rather than addressing the legitimate concerns about the quality of work, he chose to attack me personally and publicly, calling me disgustingly rude and telling other businesses never to work with me. This condescending and unprofessional response only confirms why we will never use this company again.

I'm estimating, but I think there's probably 30+ years combined experience between them in the landscape design and build business they have created. Always in tune with the owners wishes and visions of what their dream job will look like when complete, this company will do all they can to create and fulfill their every whim. Attention to detail is what they are all about in designing and building your front and back yard family havens. I highly recommend Meise Design Group! Debra R.

Working with Meise Design Group was the best experience!…read more We went under contract in April 2024 to build a home here in Arizona while we were living in Virginia. As we got closer to the completion date (January 2025), we began our search for landscaping professionals. MDG was recommended to us from an architect we've been following on Instagram for several years. Between that recommendation, MDG's own Instagram portfolio, and their online reviews, we thought this might be a fit. We initially worked with Andrew, who was super accommodating - first working with us over email and Zoom, then meeting us at the homesite in person when we flew out here for progress checks. He was great working with two people who have never had any outdoor space (former apartment/condo/townhouse people) and were mostly clueless about what we wanted other than some Pinterest inspo photos. And he was also just so perfect for us specifically - he is a former east coaster himself and a dog-person - so he knew to explain things we wouldn't know (e.g. window reflections can melt turf in this Arizona heat) and how to prioritize our dogs' needs (e.g. our pool has a ledge so if a pup falls in, they're not far from safety). There was never any pressure - to go a certain direction, to exceed our budget, or to hurry up with decisions. Andrew was always prepared to talk in detail about options, tradeoffs, and pros/cons - and to let us see how those different things would look using his design software. We eventually landed on a design that we loved, that met our HOA requirements, and that met state and local requirements - all of which MDG took care of (e.g. HOA application info, county permits, etc.). Eddie and the teams on our property to complete the work were great. Everyone was kind, everything was kept as tidy as possible throughout the work; someone even came over on their day off because of a big rain storm - just to make sure everything was put away. Our project wrapped on time, on budget, and on expectations. We had a super informative final walkthrough - letting us know how to work everything, when to maintenance things, etc. And then we've heard from the team a few times since - just checking in on us. Our backyard is our sacred space - we LOVE it. All our guests love it. We've caught neighbors taking photos as inspo for their own yards. It's very simple because it prioritizes our view and our pups, but we've seen much more elaborate work MDG has done - so whatever your project, we would highly recommend MDG!

The original installer, Solatube, addressed our concerns quickly and installed new flashing.

Now all of the neighbors know personal business. They even went to neighbors who have "No Soliciting" signs to advertise the roof to them... This is a clear invasion of privacy, when you already pay a business and they advertise the personal business and address to everyone else. It is no one's business! Very embarrassing practice! It says "Hey neighbors, I make enough money to replace my roof! Come to my house and see it!" Terrible. **Edit: This business "owner" is threatening me and has threatened to SUE ME! See his response and please don't use this business, unless you want "legal trouble"!!

I'm glad he doesn't remember me, I had to remove my info and profile pics to stop him from finding me! I would be terrified to leave him a negative review of his actual work!!

His team has shown up every day and worked really hard each and every day. To me, with working with so manny contractors in the past that didn't clean up the job site each day was terrible. Craig's team left the job site clean each and every day. I would highly recommend them. They go the extra mile installing retaining walls and every part of the job is done really well. Craig meets with you every day to make sure the plan is how you want it and his team puts the plants and every part of the process the way you want it. This is the first contracting/construction service over 3 homes in the past 25 years of living in Arizona, that I would recommend.

He provided a quality job at a fair price. Two years later, when wet spots showed up along the side of the house, Jake was instantly here, at no charge, to determine the cause. After troubleshooting, it ended up being a leak from a neighbor's system. Though he was certainly inconvenienced, Jake good-naturedly laughed it off. He continues to be only a text away whenever I need to ask him an irrigation related question. When deciding on a contractor, look for a local professional who stands behind his work.
