It turned out better than my husband and I could've imagined. Nikki took time to explain materials, ideas, layout, time line, ect. to me every step of the way. I got about 5 quotes and Nikki's pricing is very competitive! Her team of guys are so nice, considerate, and clean. We are so happy with the work and even more the relationship we built with Nikki. We will definitely be using Nikki and her team for every landscaping we need to come!

After interviewing three landscaping companies, it was clear to my wife and me that Desert Rain…read moreLandscaping (DRL) was the obvious choice. They brought their extensive knowledge and experience to our project, but also took into account our ideas and needs. This is a family owned and operated business, and that means a great deal. They take pride in their design and implementation services, and it shows in the results. They transformed a bland front and back yard area into a beautiful desert landscape, for which we get many positive comments. We have now contracted with them for monthly maintenance of our yard, and heartily recommend DRL for any and all landscaping services.

The systems were put in place in a timely fashion and I couldn't be happier with the results. When there was a problem with the lighting, they were on site immediately. The issue was resolved without issue. The customer service is the finest I've experienced in a long time. If I could rate them higher I would. Great job Nate Sr., Nate Jr. and Ralph. You will be my go-to landscaping company in the future!!!!

After moving into our home, we realized there was a lot more space to our yard than was being…read moreutilized, due to the placement of a block wall. I searched for a masonry contractor, call a half dozen, three came out to the site, and we really "clicked" with Braulio. He grew up in his father's and uncle's construction business and has now branched out on his own. I cannot recommend Southwest Valley Contracting highly enough. Braulio and his employees (including his brother and cousin) are polite, prompt, and know their stuff. Braulio communicated both in person and via text multiple times throughout the process to be sure we were always on the same page. He listened to our ideas and concerns and then gave us his professional insight. His price was right in line with the bids from the other two contractors and very fair considering the brute labor required in 100+ temperatures! They demolished our existing wall and began trenching for the new footer in one day. Then the rebuild began with perfect integration to the existing wall. They even came on the weekend to finish what they started. Plus, they regraded the backyard, fixed a couple of broken irrigation drip lines and cleaned up all their construction debris. In less than 2 weeks, we had doubled the sized of our backyard! Our beautiful new wall is stuccoed and ready for paint. We will definitely call SWVC when we're ready to put in our fireplace and pavers. Even our neighbor was so impressed he wants to use them for his next project.

Hats off to Braulio! I was so fed up with big talkers, price gougers, and under-knowledged…read more"professionals" that I called a supplier to get the materials myself (I have decades of experience but just didn't want to do it). In a final attempt, I asked for a referral, and they gave Braulio's info and high praises. They were right! Braulio answered all questions in a very knowledgable manner, gave the second lowest price out of six bids, and was the most professional across the board. Even hitting a snag with the project, which is not uncommon in construction, he made sure there was communication, follow through, and resolution. I couldn't ask for anything more. He did a great job and at a reasonable price. Even with me being a bit of a control freak, Braulio never missed a beat. We made sure that there was clarity on what I wanted, what he could provide, and if it was a good fit. This project was for cutting back my block wall and widening the gate opening, as well as using a composite material for pickets versus wood. We are very pleased! We have already discussed that we will call on him again when we are ready for our paver/gas firepit addition. I don't give recommendations freely but will for Braulio and Southwest Valley Contracting!

Absolutely disgusting experience with Ashlynd at Pools By Design AZ…read more I had to delay my pool project and financing for a year because I was battling cancer. Instead of showing an ounce of compassion, decency, or professionalism, Ashlynd chose to be rude, condescending, and outright demeaning. She talked down to me, belittled me over the communication gap, and made it very clear she wanted me to feel small over my financial timing. Let that sink in: I was considering paying this company $80,000, and this is how I was treated. It was arrogant, cruel, and completely unacceptable. No customer should ever be chastised or made to feel "less than," especially while dealing with a life-altering medical crisis. That interaction told me everything I needed to know about this company. I took my business elsewhere, and I strongly recommend others do the same. If this is how Pools By Design AZ treats people before they even get your money, I can only imagine how bad things get after.

Along with creating beautiful and useful seating areas and walkways, she picked the perfect selection of native plants. We've ended up with a yard more lush than I ever hoped for, and it uses a minimum of water. The entire project went smoothly, and Darbi was hands on from design through installation. And she doesn't mind that I still call her for advice on new plant choices - she has an Encylopedic knowledge of native plants!

Darbi…read moreprepared plans for the front yard that needed adjustments and for the back yard that was totally bare. She made use of plants we already had by moving them to new locations. We added low maintenance, low water usage native species. And some rocks, which help "ground" the plants. I am looking now through my window at the back yard where plants are blooming! All through the project, Darbi provided information and pictures. She asked us many questions and listened to us. Her goal was to provide us with a landscape that we would love, but that also makes sense for the desert environment. Darbi works with a contracted named Jeff. It was our choice to use him or not. We did. He and his workers did a fantastic job cleaning up the property, putting in irrigation, and planting. Darbi worked with him closely, overseeing all aspects of the work. They worked non-stop, and our yard was transformed within a week. (The planning stage took longer).
