I have had the pleasure of retaining Nick and his ScapeTech team on two occasions and I look forward to retaining them again for future projects. The first project (in 2016) Nick undertook was a major redesign of our large backyard. From the first time I met Nick, he was very pleasant and easy to work with. He listened to the rather vague, general ideas I had, then offered a number of outstanding suggestions -- which were much better than anything we envisioned. In addition to many new plants and trees, a new watering system and dramatic lighting, Nick brought in a number of huge boulders for additional dramatic effect. We are talking BIG boulders. He personally selected them from his source and with Nick's artistic eye, brought in materials -- boulders, plants, trees, gravel, pavers, lighting -- that aesthetically tied everything together. On the day that a large crane arrived with the boulders, I watched from within the house as Nick carefully placed each stone, positioning and repositioning multiple times, each one in a precise manner to best compliment and enhance the background mountain views we have. Our second project (in 2017) primarily focused on the front yard and an existing "wall" of oleanders. Prior to commencing work, I walked the property with Nick and once again, he offered many outstanding suggestions. We ultimately removed two large, but-quite-old trees and replaced them with beautiful palms that matched other trees we already had. New lighting in front, including in-ground lighting for our existing trees, as well as new plants and dramatic lighting resulted in a wonderfully enhanced presentation of our home, with greater vegetative symmetry than previously existed. The wall of very mature oleanders (planted in 1953) was considerably thinned, removing lots of old "woody" branches, and decades of undergrowth. New soil for the oleanders, a new higher-volume watering system, and berm to contain water were also created. These 60+ year old oleanders have lots of new growth and are going to thrive even better now that they have received the care that Nick and his crew provided. In the backyard, which is large and completed walled, as part of our second project, Nick installed many catclaw vines as well as beautiful tangerine cross vines, all on weathered, metal trellises. The vines and trellises look fantastic -- far better than anything we envisioned. Nick's crew are incredibly hard working and despite the oppressive heat and rigorous work, they are always pleasant, courteous and respectful of the property. In my opinion, Nick and his crew at ScapeTech are the best landscape and design experts in the area. I have used other landscape/design firms in years past, but none compare with the level of service, attention to detail, and reasonable pricing provided by Nick. I will definitely be calling Nick again and I will continue to recommend him, without qualification, to anybody seriously interested in professional landscape/design services offered by a truly nice person who does extraordinary work. read more

We did a complete landscape design and project with Scape Tech, (Nick is the owner and Santiago is his Lead foreman) on our 11,000 square foot corner lot. This included all new irrigation lines and lighting front and back, repaired property drainage (it was crushed underground), 600 square feet of expanded travertine that matched perfectly in the backyard, installed 900 square feet of pavers on our RV parking side, all new pavers in our 200 square foot courtyard. They custom cut travertine and pavers for all new pots installed around the backyard and in the courtyard and the remaining 6 trees. We also had a couple trellises removed from the parameter cinderblock wall and re-textured, and a new cinderblock wall built and textured with a gate installed. Nick is very knowledgeable and was patient in assisting us in our overall design and it came out beautiful! The lead foreman, Santiago is equally knowledgeable and professional. His team was on time every day, worked hard all day, cleaned up at the end of every day and professional from start to finish. The Scape Tech team customer service is second to none. I have and will continue to recommend Scape Tech to anyone looking for a Landscape & design company. We are very pleased and appreciate Nick and his team, and all of the compliments from neighbors and friends on our resort look and feel landscape make over! read more

Nick and his incredible team finished our backyard in FOUR days. We had nothing but dirt in our new home's backyard, and by the time they were finished with it, we had a giant grassy patch for our dogs, complete with a brand new sprinkler system, gorgeous pavers, fruit trees, and beautiful plants. Everything is stunning and growing. (But he offers a guarantee that they make it through the winter months and will re-plant anything that doesn't take.) Prior to planting everything, Nick took us to a nursery to choose plants we liked, and brought us to another store to find pavers that would work well in our backyard. He gave us ideas about how much we should extend our back patio, where our grass should begin and end, and listened carefully to our wishes. We even had a giant snafoo--and it still only took four days! The pavers we originally chose came from a plant that shut down and they hadn't stockpiled any for future orders. Nick called all 25 locations in Arizona to find them, as well as giving a piece of his mind to the unexpectedly shut down plant. He brought more paver options to our house so we could choose a different kind to keep the backyard's timeline on track. Although they were more expensive, he didn't even charge us extra. His team was talented, efficient, and neat. They did an amazing job. Hire them; it is so very worth it. read more

Just had Nick and his Scape Tech crew finish landscaping the front and back yards of our newly constructed house. We started with not much more than dirt and mud but within a week and a half we had beautiful front and back yards. They started on time and stayed on our job until it was complete. They showed up early, worked late and kept the work site neat. Even on the last day there was no rushing or hurrying to get done. Nick was excellent to work with - easy to communicate and stay in touch with and his guys were great as well. Nick listened to what we were looking for, offered some excellent suggestions,incorporated some nice touches along the way that we wouldn't have even thought about, and was very open to input from us the entire time. He and his crew are sticklers for details and care about what they do. A great example was the extension on our existing pavers driveway. The crew didn't just add on to the edges - they took old pavers out and mixed them with the new. We added to both sides but now even we can't tell where the old pavers ended and new pavers began. That's unlike several other jobs in our neighborhood where you can see a very clear distinction between the old and the new. We would not hesitate to use Nick and Scape Tech again - and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality, professional landscaping. read more

After doing extensive research to find a reputable landscape company, we found Scape Tech. We have a large front and backyard that was nothing but dirt and we had a limited budget. Nick, the owner, recognized that and stretched our dollar pretty far. We couldn't afford to do the entire project this time around, but we did get Nick and his team to complete all of the hardscape. Which included over 1900 sqft paver patio/patio extension, 150 ft retaining wall, curbing for 5700 sqft of grass and the entire sprinkler system for the front and back grass areas. The entire project took just over a week. Nick's team was out there everyday (with Sunday off) from 6:30 am to about 5 pm. They took minimal breaks even in the 110*+ summer heat! They cleaned up every night before leaving and left our place impeccable after the project was done. I highly recommend using Scape Tech for a fast, stress free experience. On a side note, even though we could only do half the project right away, Nick designed our entire yard and took time to go around a nursery with us to pick out future shrubbery and trees, so we can do work in the yard a bit at a time until it's time for stage two! Highly recommend Scape Tech. read more

I recently built a new home and hired Scapetech to design and install the landscaping for my front and back yards. I couldn't have made a better choice. This is definitely the best experience I have had with a contractor. Nick not only did an excellent job of designing my landscaping, he was incredibly respectful of my budget. He stayed in contact with me through the lengthy HOA approval process and his crew showed up when he said they would and worked long hours to complete the job on time. From beginning to end both Nick and his crew were approachable and patient and willing to take the time to listen to and address any ideas or concerns I had. His crew were meticulous in their workmanship and paid the utmost attention to details. They actually "sculpted" the dirt mounds before covering them with gravel and measured everything that required precision. I am a perfectionist and I can honestly say I am 100% satisfied with the final product. Nick installed high quality materials and the final outcome is gorgeous. This is one very professional company I can recommend without reservation. I would give them six stars if I could. read more

Nick and his amazing crew redid part of my large backyard and I am so thrilled with what they did! First of all, Nick came up with a great design idea. I knew that I wanted pavers and artificial turf and Nick gave me some great ideas that I would not have thought of on my own. He was patient with me and was respectful of my budget. I was able to host a large Easter lunch this past weekend because it was so functional and beautiful out there. I did also get other bids and did some research regarding pavers and turf. Nick does the job as it should be done - without compromising the integrity of the work. Yes, I did receive a lower bid however the other company told me that I didn't need to use certain materials and techniques which I learned (by researching it) that the potential for problems in the future were magnified without doing the job the right way in the beginning. I am confident that the job ScapeTech did will last a long time because they did it the correct way and with high quality materials. I am very happy with their professionalism and expertise. Thank you Nick and crew! read more

OUTSTANDING is the first word that comes mind when describing our recent experience with Scape Tech Landscape & Design. Scape Tech was 1 of 5 companies we contacted for ideas and estimates. Our flagstone patio was crumbling horribly and our yard of rocks was not a place where the kids wanted to play. Nick responded quickly and was able to look at our property right away. He had very thoughtful ideas and suggestions based on our needs and budget and we were extremely impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened carefully, patiently answered all of our questions and responded to calls and texts promptly. He arrived on site with his crew and made certain everyone understood how to proceed. The crew was EXCEPTIONAL. They worked quickly & efficiently and they completed the project in 3 days and under budget. To say we are happy is a real understatement ...we are thrilled! We will highly recommend Scape Tech to anyone looking for a landscape designer and/or artificial grass installer and we will definitely be calling them again for our future needs. read more

I am so thankful I found this company! I originally started my backyard with a company that a friend from work had referred, but unfortunately after giving them money to get started they only worked a little bit and never came back! Being a single mother this was quite a set back. After doing some research I found this company and spoke to them and explained what happened, and they they were so caring about my situation. After looking at my yard they showed me that the company that started laying the pavers had the water DRAINING TOWARD MY HOUSE!! Needless to say they fixed everything and there reviews speak for themselves! They are so kind and so professional, I would highly recommend them to anybody! Again thank you guys so much....my yard is beautiful!! AMAZING guys to work with!!! And very trustworthy! read more

I chose ScapeTech to do a whole yard landscaping project for our new-build. Nick and his team were absolutely fantastic! Initially I had difficulty finding a landscape designer. I chose four different designers with high ratings on Yelp. They all came out for the initial consultation, but three out of four never followed up. I feel fortunate that this was the case because round 2 of my search yielded ScapeTech. Nick was everything you would expect and more. He is responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, has excellent communication and follow-up. His team are prompt, hard working, very skilled, respectful of your property.... I can't say enough good things about Nick and his team. We are over-the-moon happy with the work they did. I HIGHLY recommend ScapeTech. read more

We had Scapetech almost completely redo our landscaping. Started by replacing over 3000 sq ft of concrete driveway with pavers. Unbelievable how quickly they accomplished it. Turned out awesome. Nick was also very creative in designing an all new desert landscaping package to replace our grass and other outdated parts of our yard. In summary, they worked with our HOA for approval, removed concrete, put down pavers, built a small patio, brought in very large boulders, replaced the sprinkler system, and planted well over 100 new plants. Big job, but he has a hard working team. They aim to please. Many neighbors have stopped by to compliment the job. I don't post many reviews, but this an exception. Fantastic job Scapetech. read more

This is the second time in 3 years I have used Scape Tech for my landscaping design and install. The first time he also landscaped my front yard, so nothing much needed there this time around. My need for a new septic tank (nothing to do with Scape Tech) gutted my whole back yard, so I had to start again. Nick is creative, and I totally believe in his ideas. He took my 1/3-acre backyard and turned it into a relaxing oasis with 3 beautiful paver pads, mounds, desert plants, gravel and boulders. The crew w/ Santiago at the helm gets it done! They show up early every day and stay till dark. Took 4 days, cost was $18,000. Would totally recommend his services. Nick is honest, reasonable and runs a really good business! read more

I found Scape Tech Landscape on Angie's List. They were well rated so I called and set an appointment. Nick came out to see our empty back yard. He listened to our ideas and our likes and dislikes. We discussed different options and came up with some plans. He was very knowledgeable about all the different plants and what would and wouldn't work in our space. In a few days we were emailed a tentative plan. It was exactly what we had in mind! We swapped out a few plants after I looked them up for ones I preferred. Nick was very easy to work with. Soon after we had the backyard of our dreams! We couldn't be happier with what Nick and his crew did. I'm so happy we went with Scape Tech! read more

We had a large lot in a new home with zero landscaping, unless you like weed-choked hard pan. Nick Rawlings came in and gave us a plan for a desert landscape that matched what we had been envisioning -- and within our budget. He worked with us closely throughout, coming over frequently for personal meetings as the plans progressed. The work began on time and kept to his anticipated schedule. The plantings, the irrigation, the lighting -- all top of the line. He even selected the boulders for their aesthetic fit. And we also need to acknowledge the great team leadership of Nick's foreman Santiago. And, oh, by the way -- we were delighted with the result. read more

There is no one better than Nick and his team at Scape Tech. Nick was able to magically transform our vague ideas for our overgrown front and back yards into a perfect oasis. Nick has great vision and his team's incredible skill and precision are what made our experience with Scape Tech outstanding. The team were on site when they said they would be, did exactly what they said they would do, the job followed the timeline promised to the day. The materials and the work are of the highest quality. Thank you, Nick! You and your team already know how thrilled we are and we are so fortunate to have found you! read more

After consulting with 3 landscapers on renovating our yard, we chose Nick at Scape Tech because he was willing to listen to our needs. When the original price was too high for us, he came up with other ideas to meet our price range. He was honest from the start, reliable and as I hired others to renovate areas of our yard, everyone I came in contact with had high praises for Nick. Now the backyard is finished and the quality of work is outstanding! They finished in 2 days. He really knows his stuff about materials and is really creative with design! read more

We were so fortunate last fall to find ScapeTech Landscaping! Nick and his fantastic crew turned our weeds and dirt backyard into our own living paradise. Grass and sprinkler system; pavers; granite; trees and shrubs. In two days a complete transformation. Nick has a great eye for where and what to plant. His crew's attention to detail was really exceptional. Now that spring is here everything has come back blooming and green. Everything about working with Nick at ScapeTech was a pleasure. read more

After getting a number of bids for the backyard landscaping of our new build home, we decided to go with Scapetech for a number of reasons. We felt comfortable with Nick, their price was competitive, and they seemed to use quality materials. The crew who performed the installation of our travertine, turf, and irrigation were hard working, professional, and courteous. We would happily recommend Scapetech to family and friends. read more
