I would give Pat & crew 10 stars if that was a choice! I had seen his work around my neighbor and heard a lot of excellent reviews about his work so I scheduled an appointment with him. From the moment he arrived & started talking about the potential for my backyard design, I knew he was the right guy for the job - I actually cancelled all my other landscape design appointments and never looked back!!! Pat provided amazing design ideas, flexible proposals, line item pricing, creative options for design throughout, stayed within the budget, was clean & tidy, provided constant communication, was onsite daily overseeing & working alongside his crew and was SUPER detail oriented, which was something that you just don't find with many contractors these days. My project was delayed due to the pool builder and Pat never once was frustrated by the delays, instead he asked what he could do to help get the project moving. We decided to move forward even though the pool was on hold (for no good reason) and after some serious frustration with the pool builder, I pulled all of the travertine, coping and stacked stone work from the pool builder and I'm SOO GLAD I did. Pat & his team did an awesome job, the results way exceeded my expectations & really brought the backyard to life! Again, the attention to detail was unbelievable and honestly, not something I have experienced in previous jobs. Sonoran Earthworks turned my nightmare pool building experience into a dream backyard that looks & feels like a resort! I have already highly recommended Pat to some friends and will continue to recommend his company anytime someone is looking for landscape design/re-design . I will continue to use Sonoran Earthworks for other projects in the future. Thank you Pat & crew for your professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, creative ideas, communication & help with the pool builders; you went above & beyond and I sincerely appreciate all that you did to create my dream backyard! read more

My wife and I called Patrick and his team with the expectation that he'd help us plant a few trees for our otherwise rundown backyard. What we got instead was a completely customizable experience tailored to our exact needs, specifications, and dimensions/feasibility of our available space. Patrick took the time to sit down with us and customize every detail, utilizing a state-of-the-art software that allowed for us to see exactly what our new yard would look like, not a mere conceptualization before installation. Patrick and his team showed up on time, fulfilled every promise they made and request we had, and worked diligently to give us the back yard of our dreams. Not only did Patrick bring that dream to reality, but his process and his expertise helped to create that dream and show us the possibilities. He's a true professional that is passionate about his projects and works well with you every step of the way. Patrick is also great about following up on his projects and is diligent about his maintaining his warranty. We had some plants that did not acclimate well, so we notified Patrick and he was at our house promptly with a replacement (that just so happened to look better than the original!) He even repaired a sprinkler for us while he was there at no charge and for that we were very grateful. We had an awesome experience with Sonoran Earthworks and I would give them 6 stars if I could. Thank you Patrick and team! read more

Sonoran Earthworks is fantastic. We had Pat and his crew replace our entire drip system a year ago (nearly half an acre of hard digging). It's not only saved us money to have the water timer zoned properly and working correctly--it saved our mature landscaping. Pat was courteous, professional, showed up when he said he would and did the work that was quoted. He made sure our yard was clean at the end of each day they were here by spraying away dirt and dust from high traffic areas...and he took care to make sure his guys shut our gates properly, so as to keep the dog in. (Our dog would be a nice snack for the coyotes and bobcats around the Preserve.) He even went over and above to come out and fix a leak a few months after that we thought was our landscaping...but ended up being related to our pool water line. He fixed it without complaint that it wasn't landscaping-related...which was very kind. His work ethic is unparalleled. We've recommended him to several friends and colleagues who've hired him...and their landscape designs and installations look beautiful. His talents definitely lie in design and outdoor lighting. Give him a call for a consultation. You won't be disappointed. read more

We recently completed a large backyard remodel with Sonoran Earthworks, and we had a tremendous experience and would highly recommend them. The final outcome greatly exceeded our expectations, and we really enjoyed working with Patrick and his team. They were extremely helpful in the up-front design (and have an excellent software program we used to model our yard before the work took place). Once the work started, Pat and his guys were on-site daily, communicated frequently and made the process of selecting plants and materials very enjoyable, and were always extremely helpful in helping us make decisions throughout the process. His team worked fast and efficiently, and completed our project well within schedule. Pat is very organized and has a clear and easy-to-follow budget. Everything about working with Pat was made easy and convenient, and we were very grateful to him for a job very well done. We would highly recommend Sonoran Earthworks for anyone looking to make landscaping upgrades to their home. read more

Pat and his crew with Sonoran Earthworks did an exceptional job on our brick paver/patio remodel. This was a two week project that included complete patio remodel/ design, planters, transitions, and making more usable space in our backyard. I can't stop smiling everytime I step out onto our new patio and take in the transformation. The crew was extremely professional and very punctual (arrived every AM at 7am) and cleaned up daily! Everyday it was fun to see how much progress they would make. The estimate / quote was spot on and there were no surprises with money or time frames. The owner (Pat) was on site daily to help out , answer questions, and supervise the progress. I truly feel lucky to have got to work with such a group of talented, honest, professionals. My dogs enjoyed supervising too! Thank you Sonoran Earthworks for our new patio which will hold memories for our family for years to come. read more

Patrick and team were incredible. We had a backyard remodel taking our original backyard that was not changed from when we bought the house, and was in pretty bad shape. Patrick sat down with us several times, and helped us design a backyard that met our needs. We are not designers, and this is our first large landscaping project we ever undertook. We had general thoughts on a couple of important items, but really had no true design. Patrick came up with excellent ideas, using his extensive knowledge to know how to take our basic thoughts and implement them. His team came out and worked incredibly quickly - taking a terrible backyard and creating an oasis for us that will be enjoyed for years to come. Patrick and his team deserve all 5 stars and I'd recommend him to ANYONE with landscape needs. read more

Living in a 1950 ranch style house in central Phoenix, I've been through countless contractors over the last 10 yrs for our upgrades and remodel projects. I've always attempted the typical craigslist searches to try to find someone that's dependable, professional and knows what they're doing but never had any luck, and was mostly disappointed in who I ended up using. I came across Sonoran Earthworks on Yelp for our front courtyard remodel and are super glad we did. First time I've used someone that I could completely trust and where everything came out better than I expected. They are as professional and knowledgeable as you will find for a landscape contractor and will be my only call for my outdoor remodels. read more

Another shoutout for Patrick and his team from Sonoran Earthworks. In February they did a complete makeover of our front yard and did a great job. (see pics from my Feb. post) About a month afterward a couple of plants started to look a bit sad. I called Patrick and he came out, to a look, and immediately replaced them and put a new bulb in one of the yard lights. Yesterday I found a leak in the irrigation system. I didn't think it was part of the remodel but I called them anyway. Patrick came out this morning and repaired a significant leak at no charge even though it wasn't part of his remodel. If you want a great job done by folks that more than live up to their word. Call Patrick at Sonoran. read more

Theeee BEST! I am so happy I went with Sonoran Earthworks again for my yard renovations. All I wanted was a low maintenance, stress free yard and Patrick and his crew wasted no time with jackhammering away the trouble spots to recreate manageable and livable outdoor spaces. What I had before was a wasted backyard where weeds grew and debris collected. A small unsightly patchwork courtyard with flagstones, pavers and rocks and whenever it rains, water would pool toward my house. What I now have is a front entrance that welcomes my visitors. A gorgeous courtyard for relaxations and gatherings PLUS a backyard for grilling and chillin'. Thank you Sonoran Earthworks! read more

I had a great experience working with Patrick on my front yard redesign. I only had the basic framework of what I was looking for, but he came in with a lot of great ideas and helped me realize my vision. They did everything, including installing new lighting, building an outdoor fireplace, reworking my sprinklers, expanding the patio, and re-sealing a flowerbed that was leaking into the house. I really appreciated how efficient he and his team were in finishing up the project, and the professionalism they showed. My front yard is absolutely beautiful, and it seems like others agree--I have a constant stream of people stopping by to take pictures of it. read more

We had Patrick do a very extensive design and construct landscape project on our home and simply couldn't be happier with the results. The job was finished within days of his original schedule and all work was top notch. As a civil engineer that ran a construction company for decades and completing billions of dollars in projects I feel fairly qualified to recommend Sonoran as a high quality contractor. They understand customer service, the need for constant interaction with the client, and the expectation that work should be done right and with care to preserve existing finishes. His entire work force were also a pleasure to deal with. read more

From our initial visit when Pat came over for our consultation, we knew that he was the one to complete our front yard and driveway renovation. Pat provided great insight for our project and listened to our needs. He is very organized and pays attention to detail along with providing excellent customer service. Pat and his crew were always prompt and left our property clean after each day's work. The end result was an identical match to the initial drawings he provided us and exceeded our expectations. Pat takes pride in his work and is a true professional. We highly recommend Sonoran Earthworks for a job done right! read more

I would highly recommend Patrick and Sonoran Earthworks for anyone looking to professionally upgrade their yard. From my initial inquiry until the completion of my job, Pat was responsive, on time, and followed through on everything that he promised. Pat has excellent vision and attention to detail, and my backyard turned out better than I could have imagined within the budget that I outlined. I will definitely be calling on Pat and his team for future projects and upgrades. Thank you, Sonoran Earthworks for the excellent work and all of those small extras that made our customer service experience an awesome one! read more

When we bought our home, we had the homeliest backyard and were desperate to make it both functional AND beautiful. We interviewed four different landscapers and after meeting with Pat Kilgore (owner of Sonoran Earthworks) and seeing the plan he designed for us, we chose him. BEST decision we've ever made! He and his team did their absolute best and we couldn't be happier...Pat listened to and incorporated our ideas, stayed on budget, and was the first contractor we ever hired whom we didn't get sideways with Everyone who sees our backyard wishes they had it, and after six years, we still wouldn't change a thing read more

We used Patrick and Sonoran Earthworks for a major landscaping project. The project included removing, replacing and adding dozens of plants. It also included replacing most of a 15 year old drip system to a very large property. Patrick and his crew did a terrific job of communicating throughout the project. They were very respectful, honest and hard working. We were very pleased with the overall look, the plants that Patrick suggested, and the attention to detail that they paid throughout the process. Couldn't be happier with the end result. highly recommend. Thank you Patrick and crew!! read more

Patrick's communication and attention is outstanding. We scheduled a meeting to get an estimate and he was right one time at my place as agreed. He made sure every requirement was written down in the estimate and explained to me. The best thing was he called me and told he could start on the job well in advance which worked for me as well. He accomodated my ideas midway through the job without compromising the time agreed to complete the whole project. He completed it very neatly as I had hoped. Now we have a beautiful backyard which is usable. Thanks Pat for taking the job. read more

Patrick has amazing vision and the work ethic to match. We hired him after coming highly recommended through neighbors and are so happy we did. He took a boring, lifeless front yard - that looked very cookie cutter and transformed it into a beautiful, landscaped oasis. He provided 3D drawings so we could envision our yard at night, complete with soft lighting and beautiful greenery throughout. We are thrilled with the results and will definitely be hiring Patrick again for our backyard design! Five stars all the way. read more

Sonoran Earthworks has done a few different projects for our neighbors and the end result was beautiful so when we decided to redo our front yard we chose them. Patrick was very helpful in listening to what we were looking for with our front yard job and the end result was great. They work hard with great attention to detail, are there first thing every day, got the job done on time and on budget and make sure everything is up to their high standards. I can't recommend them enough for your next landscaping job. read more

Patrick and the crew from Sonoran Earthworks completely transformed my front yard. The entire process was seamless and very professional, starting with the 3D Design, estimate, contract, and diligent work ethic while at my home. It is great to find a contractor so reliable and trustworthy. My project was completed on time and on budget. All my neighbors continue to stop by to give me compliments on my beautiful new front yard. It is more amazing than I could have ever dreamed! I cannot thank them enough! read more
