Our second hiring of Mike's crew led by Jorge. This was a 5 year wait on completion for us due to…read moreowning a new business and the slow down in 2020. I had a goal: To bring the eye DOWN so as to reflect on what we had, because I've always had a bigger view. We had three meetings over the years. Phone calls. And too many texts. Mike was patient. I was particular and apologized ahead of time to him. Finally. I called and professes, "Mike- I'm not backing out. Set your calendar. Here's my deposit. Don't let me back out again." This is the reality of being a business owner when our employees come first. Same as Mike. Personal things come second. Take care of your business by taking care of your employees. Two builds with Mike, almost five years apart. We finally all pulled it off. It's all about our new 4 distinct patios. Cooler travertine because who wants to wear shoes if you're relaxing! Easy care. Options built around the sun and the moon. I tracked both for over a year to make sure our patio worked all year round to my wants and needs. I made multiple revisions over the years. So did my husband - he got the grill and fridge installed. Patio 1: A shaded patio looking North. Took advantage of the house shading extra past the Gas Firepit. Firepit in Summer gets covered to become a sweet low table. Patio 2: All under the open sky! It's waiting for a magnificent plant! We're selling our property 5/24...so the new owners can choose their own plant. There are two extra outlets at the pony wall for a tall outdoor lamp or lighting, or set up a tiki bar and blend away for a special party. Patio 3: Phinney's Patio is where my pups and I enjoyed chilly morning coffees....and the AZ sunsets later. I designed a sun dial into the flooring so that around 9:15am in the Fall the sun lines up along the corner of the house, along travertine/turf and over the planter. Phinney was an Empath dog and served people well in counseling sessions and a brain rehab center. I wanted to honor his special spot. Patio 4: Is made from crushed and compacted quarter minus rock. It's pretty awesome. I imagined a long wood table lit up with soft lights above and candles, flowers and linens. The plan was for my husband to grill and be able to chat with guests. Our West side is rocked in tiny rocks and has a gate. It can hold dogs during a house party and was going to be prepped to install planters for veggies and cut flowers. Mike's team installed our regular pavers in front to extend our driveway, built steps from the sidewalk up to our house, and extended the pavers past our East gate for parking a smaller boat or vehicle. He doesn't overpromise - he is beyond most contractors and us like my husband (also a contractor) - his team always shows up, works a long day, arrives quietly and leaves quietly. Start to finish our backyard took 8 days in Feb 2024. Same was true for our front yard hardscape he completed in 2019 - always on top of the job. He might call and ask to begin a day sooner so I was excited when that happened for us! Halfway thru we happened to see another home. I let Mike know we were selling. I asked Mike to make a few changes so the new owners could do their own thing and make it more theirs. For me to finish it was actually heartbreaking. Everytime we check the yard before a house showing we tear up. As much as we love our new bigger yard....For a small yard Mike's team took my sketches and my dream all the way - it "checks all the boxes" as open house viewers commented. My husband backed off and even let Jorge run the gas pipe for the Firepit, even though my husband can do that. My husband felt his time was valuable and preferred Jorge to DO IT ALL. So they did. Irrigation. A new hose Bibb. Electrical. I wanted a contemporary patio that matched the genre of our home...but with special touches. Desert Scape's Team delivered. On time. Within budget. If we were staying I'd overplant and add outdoor decor. For now the new Rosemary, Jasmine and fire bells add scent, texture and a burst of color. A backdrop of climbers and cooling down the wall with some ocotillo wood ribs or something else would be lovely. That's TBD by the new owners.

They are professional, always on time. Everything that is promised is accomplished. Finding a company like this is rare, in our experience. Their creativity and ability to design exactly what we want is really great. They even did a 3d video so we can see exactly how the whole project will look. We will review more as the yard progresses. So far this has been incredible. Very excited!!

My husband & I had an incredible experience working with Outdoorscapes Design! From the start, they…read morewere open to our ideas and communicated clearly about what to expect throughout the entire process and where to expect delays. We were particular about avoiding concrete pavers and wanted a more high-end look, and they went above and beyond to help us find the perfect shade of limestone and waterline tile for our pool. What impressed us most was how they managed to stay within our budget while still incorporating all the must-haves in this initial phase of our yard. We're thrilled with the results and are already looking forward to working with them again to build our outdoor BBQ!

I hired Blossom Oak Landscaping in 2023, working directly with Gordon Palmer, to complete the full…read morelandscaping for both the front and backyard of my newly purchased home in Gilbert. At the same time this project was happening, my wife was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Because of her condition, we were traveling constantly seeking treatment, and I was not able to be present at the house while the work was being done. I trusted Gordon completely to take care of everything and deliver excellent results. I paid $52,000, exactly what he asked for, without negotiating a single dollar--because I wanted quality work and peace of mind during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced. The materials used were clearly the cheapest options available. The lighting installed on the front-yard stairs was very poor quality and is now completely dead. I had to personally replace it with proper sensor lights at my own expense. The front water fountain was supposed to be centered with my sliding front door, which I specifically requested, but it was installed off-center. The backyard is not properly leveled--there are visible uneven areas where some sections are higher than others. There are also noticeable gaps between the tiles throughout the backyard, which should never happen in a project of this scale or cost. I did not leave a review immediately because my focus was entirely on my wife's health and survival. However, every time I look at my front and backyard, it honestly makes me sad. I trusted someone to do the right thing while I was away dealing with a life-or-death situation, and instead I feel that advantage was taken of my absence. What makes this even more upsetting is seeing my neighbors' landscaping--beautiful designs, clean work, and high-quality lighting--for less than two-thirds of what I paid. I am writing this review so others know what happened to me. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Blossom Oak Landscaping or Gordon Palmer. Please be extremely careful. Knowledge means nothing without honesty.

There was a full crew that showed up every day until the work was done. The crew was friendly and professional!
