We hired Coconut Contracting based on a referral from a friend who lives in McCormick Ranch. We…read morewere looking to completely redo the landscaping on a townhome we purchased in Scottsdale that had very basic landscaping. This is our second home today and will be our retirement home in a few years, so getting it right mattered. We had already started plans with another designer, but that relationship did not work out--the designer simply didn't "get" us. Rob was different from the very beginning. He listened carefully to everything we wanted and immediately understood our priorities. When I explained that we had a small yard and wanted to make use of every inch, he fully embraced that challenge. Our vision included an outdoor kitchen with both a gas grill and a Kamado grill, a fountain, a beehive fireplace, pavers covering roughly 80% of the yard, and a cactus-forward desert aesthetic. We were also considering a pergola and a covered extension. We started the planning process months in advance, and Rob was patient throughout. We went through multiple design iterations as we refined and dialed in the plan, and he never rushed the process. His large-scale, highly detailed drawings were extremely professional and gave us confidence before construction ever began. We were out of state at our primary residence for roughly the first 75% of the project. I had cameras installed at the front of the property and could watch some of the early progress remotely. About halfway through the project, I came out to select the granite for the outdoor kitchen, and with help from Rob's crew chief, I installed cameras in the backyard as well. That allowed me to watch the final stages--planting, fireplace construction, and finishing work--from out of state. Rob's crew is exceptional. They work like a tight-knit family. They are detail-oriented and do not cut corners. I watched hours of them working. They actively consult with each other, debate angles and placement, and redo work when something doesn't come out exactly right. They are extremely competent, and when rework is required, they take it on without hesitation or attitude. The yard was beautifully graded, the patio layout is graceful and well balanced, and the team followed the plans precisely--including plant placement, rock selection, and berm design. I rarely encounter workers whose standards match my own, but this crew is focused, disciplined, and holds itself to a very high bar. We are extremely pleased with the final outcome and would confidently recommend Coconut Contracting to anyone looking to create a high-quality, thoughtfully designed outdoor living space.

When the maintenance crew would be here, they would be sleeping underneath the tree they would be here for maybe 30 minutes and the allocated time was one hour and then they would leave.

They charge over and beyond what other companies charge which I did not mind paying thinking that I was going to get superb service which I did not I would not recommend.

The project required out of the box thinking and true knowledge of fencing and gates overall. Joe was able to come up with a process to alleviate the added weight that the new gate that we bought created and helped support that weight in a way that will keep the gate hanging straight going forward.

Swimming Pool and Outdoor Renovation Experience Decision to…read moreUpgrade Our Outdoor Space After more than two decades of use, we realized it was time to update our swimming pool. This decision also made it clear that our landscaping and patio area, which were just as old, needed an upgrade as well. At first, we had no idea where to begin with such a large project. Finding Inspiration and Choosing a Contractor During the summer, we noticed that our neighbors were having some outdoor work done. Curious, I took note of the name on the vehicles parked at their house. This led me to reach out to Lone Star Landscaping through their website one Sunday, leaving our contact information. Initial Contact and Planning Chris from Lone Star Landscaping called me the very next day. He was very informative, asking about our goals for the project and bringing up important questions that I had not even considered. During our phone conversation, Chris provided basic estimates for the various items we wanted to address. Once we confirmed that we were aligned in our vision, we scheduled an appointment to meet onsite and review our goals in detail. Onsite Consultation and Material Selection My husband and I spent significant time meeting with Chris, touring both our front and back outdoor areas, and sharing our vision for the renovation. Chris offered valuable suggestions throughout our conversation, demonstrating the depth of his experience in this field. We quickly realized the importance of working with someone who truly understands the nuances of outdoor design. After we reached an agreement on the project details, Chris provided us with samples of the various pavers, tiles, and travertine options. This allowed us to see how the materials would look in the natural light of our own backyard before making a final decision. Watching the Transformation Once we had selected our materials and gave the go-ahead, the work began. It was truly a joy to watch Chris's team bring our project to life. The Renovation Process and Results Chris and his team displayed exceptional skill throughout the renovation. We decided to replace our backyard patio area with beautiful travertine and add a few new spaces for the barbecue and around the pool equipment. My personal goal was to have a surface so smooth and comfortable that I could walk the entire area barefoot. Watching the travertine being installed was a fascinating experience, as we could see the design gradually taking shape. The finished result is absolutely stunning. Even during the renovation, neighbors walking by would frequently comment on how impressive the transformation looked. Enjoying the Results and Looking Forward The outcome of our backyard renovation has exceeded all expectations. We spend a great deal of time outdoors, and since the project was finished, my husband and I have often remarked on how remarkable the work is. Chris's craftsmanship and attention to detail delivered results that were even better than we had envisioned. We were so impressed with the transformation that we decided to entrust Chris with our front yard remodel as well. We are excited to see how that project will turn out. If you value experience, quality, and honest professionalism, Lone Star Landscaping is an excellent choice. We would gladly recommend them to anyone considering a landscaping project.
