Botanist of The Valley

Luis and his team have been working very hard from day one and everyone is perfectionist, which I appreciate very much. They are also very responsive to my questions and requests and have been working with me patiently to deal with demanding Dc Ranch HOA. I chose the Botanist after comparing the bid with other two luxurious landscapers. I think Botanist provides much better value and great project . It is a great fit for regular project like mine. Although sometimes (a couple of times) the crew may be running late or couldn’t show up as planned, which is normal in the industry, I still appreciate their effort to making it right even that means they have to work at late hours or longer days. I already recommended Botanist to my in law’s new build and will recommend them to my other friends as well.

We had an excellent experience with Botanist of the Valley. The design is the most important of a new yard. Making sure money goes where it is supposed to go is critical. Luis worked with us to create our own private getaway. The project started ahead of schedule and finished early and was on budget. We did hardscape, landscape, electrical, turf and even painted the house. We highly recommend Botanist of the Valley.

BOTV is the absolute best! Luis and his team have been so easy to work with from the beginning. Our backyard needed a complete makeover and they turned it into an oasis for all our family and friends to enjoy! The team pays attention to detail and are great at communicating every step of the way. Luis and his team make sure the customer is 100% satisfied and in love with the job! I would recommend them to all my family and friends! Thank you so much BOTV for all your hard work and giving us the backyard of our dreams! We cannot thank you enough!

I hired Botanist of the Valley to do a complete renovation of my front and backyard.

First I need to say that if you are looking for a quick turnaround, don’t think like that. They are very quality oriented and pay attention to detail, so a project can and will most likely take time…but at the end it is 100% worth it.

Luis and his entire team is great to work with and I can say the price is more than fair and on point.

A year later Luis reached out to me directly to ask if any plants needed to be replaced while under warranty. Fortunately we only had one Ocotillo and one Artichoke cactus that needed to be replaced. Everything else is healthy and thriving.

I would 100% recommend this company to anyone of my friends and will continue to use them as needed, although they have done everything perfect to this point….so maybe on the next home location???

Use them, understand that these projects take time and you will be happy with the end result.

Thank you BOTV!!!!

We just had our patio and pool redone, with an addition of a fire pit. The owner, manager and crew were absolutelly great during the entire project. The craftsmanship and quality were top notch, also the assistance and flexibility along the way for all the choices we had to make. They surpassed our expectations, we already recommended them to some friends and is our pleasure to leave a review here. If you are looking for a very skilled and capable team for outdoor design and implementation, look no further, they are absolutely great.

The team at Botanist of the Valley helped design, consult, and construct the yard of our dreams. We had a full demo redesign of property front and back. They helped design, with our ideas a layout that fits perfectly with our community and 1964 ranch style home. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our oasis. Thank you Luis and company.

Botanists of the Valley and the owner Luis went the extra mile to do an incredible job on the installation of the artificial turf for the safety surfacing for our playground. This required multiple cuts and seams which are invisible. The turf sits flat with no bubbles or ripples and looks so inviting for the children to play on. They also put quarter minus around the outside which they pounded into a smooth path to help keep mud from being tracked into the playground area. The Botanists and Luis are certainly dedicated to doing a professional and exceptional job! They were also the best price around! We are so glad someone had recommended them to us and we had decided to use their services!

Hi. Botanist of the valley did an amazing job on our Backyard renovation. We wanted to extend our backyard so we could add a swingset for our kids. Our backyard is by a lake and was large but very sloped. They built a retaining wall and fill in certain in the area level. They redid the sprinklers, Electrical, and lighting. They added planters and plants. They put real turf in part of the yard and artificial turf under the swings. They did a great job of putting drains under the swings and slides so that rainwater would not gather in those areas. They gave us many extra hose bibs and electrical outlets throughout the yard which is so helpful. They were good at making design suggestions which enhance the project. For example, we were just going to have simple stairs go from the upper to lower level but they suggested adding a grand staircase with lighting and a dock on the lower level. It turned out really Beautiful. They did a good job communicating. We got a text every morning that the crew is coming to our house. Highly recommend.

We used Botanist to design and install our new front yard. This included boulder wall, lighting and plant selection. They did a great job and delivered exactly what we asked for. Unique design and quick response to any concerns. Luis was great to work with, his knowledge will make your project run smoothly.

BOTV was simply excellent. I reached out for a quote in October. They immediately contacted me and Louis came out and measured everything out and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. I made 25% payment. They started in mid-March. Pool was the first one that got done. Although no work was done for a few months due to supply chain shortages for marterials, after shotcrete, plumbing etc were placed, the backyard got done within weeks. I got the backyard of dreams in 4 months which is simply unbelievable given the delays. They were extremely communicative and professional. I even got a complimentary cleaning service of the pool for 4 weeks. I highly recommend them for all your backyard work. Can’t believe my eyes when I look at my backyard.
Check out the after photos!

Where do we begin. Our nightmare started when we hired Botanists of the Valley (BOV) and paid well over 6 figures to have our landscaping completed. We trusted them with our property as they claim to be botanists and palm tree experts. We had issues with our project from the very start. We are not ones to write bad reviews, but we honestly hope that nobody else goes through what we have with this company. They do not stand behind their work or the problems created by their errors. The trees and plants we picked for our design had to be picked multiple times at the nursery because they lost the list. We had to go back to the nursery (which was not close to our home) to pick them again. The trees that arrived were probably the worst and most discounted trees the nursery had. They had to be replaced.

We invested a lot of money into date palms, which Luis supported and asked us to drive to Mecca to pick out the palms. We drove 5 hours to a palm tree farm to pick out very healthy palms so that BOV could arrange the schedule for planting. In fact, BOV made a drone video of our backyard and Making palm trees fly which they heavily use as marketing to advertise their expertise in palm tree planting. In addition to the cost of the palms, they charged us $1600 per palm to plant them and an extra $5000 for the crane rental to put them in. Luis was so focused on the drone video for advertising future jobs that attention to detail was severely missed in the planting process. Within two weeks, one of the palms tipped over from rain because of the large cavities under the tree (this was the first tree to die). The drippers were installed in tubes that prevented them from every watering the root ball. BOV was 100% in charge of the watering system and we trusted their expertise for the schedule and follow-up care with the trees.

Our trees showed signs of concern about 3-4 weeks after they were planted. We found large cavities around the root ball and could see down into the holes where the roots were exposed. We expressed concern that they were dying and were assured it was shock from planting. A few more weeks went by, and we again reached out as our trees were turning brown. Again, we were told it was shock from planting. When we looked at the app, we realized the trees had not been getting watered at all for the entire month after they were planted. When the water was finally turned on, it was only going in the tubes and not on the root ball. Multiple texts were sent about our concern including images of the trees. We hired two outside arborists to assess the situation in hopes to save the trees, only to find out that the way they were installed was wrong. End result? Luis doesn't feel it is his issue.

We have since sought legal counsel to attempt to get a portion of the large expense we paid refunded for the very bad planting job. We are insulted that they have claimed we were trying to save a buck on a job that cost over 6 figures. You can see the video of the trees going in. They were incredibly large and healthy and in great condition when they arrived to be planted. You can see the result after months of correspondence. This is what we were left with (which BOV's attorney claims is acceptable and that the trees are in fact alive). We had to pay Moon Valley nursery to come and remove all the trees, pay for another crane, and pay for all new trees. BOV seems to think that the very little green at the base of the tree is acceptable to stare at for the next 3-4 years if they ever look like trees again. We would never recommend this company to anyone for anything plant related. They claim to be ethical, but if you have a high dollar issue that was caused by their poor quality, they will do anything to get out of doing the right thing. They seem more focused on their social media presence and videos and want to seem like experts, but they don't show what yards look like after they leave and do not honor their work.

Today we had the pleasure of meeting with Marty for a consultation on our new build front and backyard landscaping and design. My husband and I were beyond pleased with the experience he provided and couldn't be more happy with the start of our process. Marty demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, education, experience, and creativity which is truly what we were looking for. We are so excited for this design and build and truly believe the team of Botanist of the Valley will exceed our expectations of building our dream yard.

My one word sum up: Exceptional.

We just moved into a home with a blank canvas as a backyard, so were looking for someone who could help us design something for the family to enjoy for years to come. We solicited several quotes and got back some good designs and ideas. BOTV set themselves apart by the knowledge of everything that would go into the yard. Marty took the time to come out and see our yard. He asked us questions on what we wanted. Listened and gave us a design that was gorgeous. Of course, we went through several changes until it was perfect. We even had the crew change things on the fly as they were laying the travertine, building the kitchen area, and laying the plants. Luis took over as project manager and the level of attentiveness got even better. He was always responsive even to my texts late in the evening with a crazy idea or question.

The level of professionalism and craftmanship extended to each of the crews. Nado, Heriberto, Luis, Angel, Mario, Jesus, Emo, Brian and Shawn all were top shelf. They were respectful of the home, extremely attentive to detail, and were able to make small changes on the fly when the wife and I asked.

I would highly recommend Botanist of the Valley for any needs from turf, travertine, pool coping, pavers, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas. Simply the best.

had Botanist of the Valley install bistro lighting for my backyard. The right way and professional way. Crew was amazing as well. Craftsmanship is next level!!!

We are glad I found BOV through my internet research to provide the landscaping on all four sides of our house. After Marty and Luis inspected the yard at our newly constructed house, Luis invited us to a couple of Zoom conferences in which we could work with him on his 3D drawing. This way, any requested changes or concerns could be addressed immediately. We wanted a simple, clean design. Luis listened well, as that is precisely what he provided at a very reasonable cost.

Andy's crew led the actual implementation. Like Luis, Andy listened well and was very responsive to various changes that we requested while the project was in progress. Andy and his crew were very patient as we changed our mind on a few things more than once. In addition, Andy, assisted with a correction to our pool equipment free of charge!

Luis, Andy and the crew clearly take pride in their work, and it shows. Some neighbors have expressed compliments about how the finished product looks. We are still considering a built-in BBQ grill station, and BOV would be the first contractor I would consider for that job.

We hired Botanist of the Valley to do our entire backyard – fireplace, two pergolas, pavers, turf, irrigation, plants and new rock. Luis, Marty their crew did an outstanding job. We came with a design in mind and BOTV exceeded our expectations with the quality and attention to detail of their work. Their onsite workers were all friendly and respectful to our property. Luis provided a clear estimate and stayed within their quote. Luis communicated with us throughout the entire project of anything that we added that was beyond scope of the original quote. We LOVE our backyard and get a ton of compliments on it. I would recommend BOTV to anyone that needs landscaping on their property. I am looking forward to working with them in the future.

Luis and his team did a great job with our backyard project. We've got a pretty small space that we needed to make clean, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing. We love how it turned out. Luis provided a clear estimate and competitive bid. They also completed the job very quickly with no delays or hiccups between each of the contract partners. When the work was complete, Luis came on site for a final walk-through to make sure everything was done as requested. Overall, we are very satisfied with our experience.

Not many contractors deserve rave reviews, but I can clearly say that Botanist of the Valley is one who does! From start to finish, including the bidding/estimating stage, thru the planning, thru material selection, to the actual work and final touches, rave reviews.
On time every day, cleanup every day. Luis the Owner was very professional. He believed in open communication and followed up with quick and complete responses.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome which incorporated many Botanist ideas and changes requested by us along the way.

I just want to start off by saying Botanist of the Valley does amazing quality work! The level of professionalism from Luis and his crew cannot be overstated. Luis was patient with me at the start and was responsive to all my questions. Once we settled on the project it was kicked off in an expected manner.

The crew showed up on time each day and worked their butts off. They were all friendly and I could tell they take great care in their work. They came prepared and looked like they could be at a professional job site.

Luis did everything he could to provide quality service. He made sure that I was happy with the final product. It seemed to me Miguel and all the other workers involved on my paving project really cared about details and the end result. I would not hesitate to recommend Botanist of the Valley to anyone for their landscaping needs.

Botanist is the best! We did our front yard and back yard with them and years later had the power fail on electrical to the light controller in the back yard. (not their fault) They came out and put a new light controller in. Thank you BOTV. Keep up the good work!!!

Botanist of The Valley stood out as a premier service provider to me due to the quality of work I saw, and the reviews across several websites. I was never left waiting when I would message the team, and was always contacted within a days time. I had the entire back yard redone, including three separate paver pads, a pergola, with rock lawn removed weed barrier applied, and new rock brought in.

I can't speak for others experience, but I can say that Luis, the owner, is a true business man with customer service at the forefront of his decision making he showed up more than once to inspect the work and ensure I was happy. This really left me a sense of trust and ownership from Luis who kept personal contact with me during a good bit of the process, something that I must find in any company that I work with as communication is key. Inspecting, quoting, pre-work, actual work, some road blocks, and re-work Luis and his team were receptive to my requests, kept me updated the entire time for every milestone, and made sure I was pleased with the work every step of the way. I didn't get everything I wanted, but I'm a hard man to please, and this did not deter Luis from making sure I was happy with everything that could be done, and I am very happy with the experience.

I'm glad I contacted Botanist of The Valley, I was treated with respect, my home was made more beautiful because of them, and I believe I will be working with them again in the future. My family now has a beautiful outdoor living space that we can enjoy year round. Thank you Botanist of the Valley Team.

I was searching for a company to perform some much needed work in my backyard. In my search it was essential that I get an affordable solution without a lack in quality. Botanist of the Valley certainly answered the call. Marty was great in going over the options and sharing what he could do for us. I actually had other companies scheduled to come out and perform another quote. However after the consultation with Marty I was confident I need not look any further.

Great explanation and vision, we look forward to the end result.

...A few short months later and my family and I could not be happier with the result. The project team, Luis(Pavers team) Emo (irrigation team) george for the extras and custom details. They all did great work! I appreciate Luis for managing the project and talking us through changes, suggestions, and changes to give us maximum value, flow, and appeal. We absolutely can’t wait to host a get together with close friends and family!

If you are looking for a company to trust with your project, no need to look any further. Botanist of the valley will not disappoint!

Our experience with BOTV was excellent. Our yard went from a new-build landscape of nothing to a place we hang out every day (until it gets hot, anyways), with a wonderful seating area made of pavers and a big patch of turf for our kids, which they love. They spent a lot of time teaching us about plants that would survive and how to choose our own plants, as well as installing irrigation for us as we agreed and later on when we had planted things ourselves. They were with us from planning the lawn through the end, and the work is very high quality. I would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping at a fair price done by professionals who genuinely know and love what they're doing.

At the beginning of quarantine my daughter was just turning one and starting to walk. After a few weeks of working from home we realized we desperately needed more time outside, and decided to put money into the yard. I put together some ideas and reached out to a few companies - Botanist of the Valley earned our business from the first conversation!

Christian, the designer, came out and really helped us reimagine what we could do with the space. He didn’t just take measurements and send a quote - he talked through our needs, talked us through the possibilities, and took the time to understand our budget so we could get the most bang for our buck. The design he put together went through a few changes but after a week or so we were ready to go!

From there Luis took over and talked us through every step. He communicated with us every step of the way - we always knew who would be here doing what. We had different crews working on different parts of this, and everyone was great: Luis, Miguel, Brian, Angel, Emo and Sergio (who hauled everything away by himself and cleaned up the aftermath)! They were respectful of my work from home, my kid and my dog and made sure that everyone was safe and masked up when needed.

The before and after photos speak for themselves! Not only did they do an amazing job, but they came back and fixed every little nitpicky change I wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied. My neighbors keep giving us compliments, and my toddler has her own space to run around and play!

Botanist of the valley is one of the easiest and most affordable companies to work with for your landscaping needs. Luis, the owner is hard-working kind, compassionate,And very reasonable. He took my safety into consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that all his cruise they came to work on my property we’re wearing proper face masks.

I hired this company to redo my small patio. They gave me a good price and it stayed close to what they estimated. I am very please with the results and I finally feel that I can enjoy my patio space for the first time in the 2 years I have lived here. I am grateful for the expertise and labor put into this project. I would recommend them for sure. The only feedback I would give to this company to improve service is to improve communication about what to expect leading up to the project and during the project. I felt that I had to initiate communication for updates and information but once I did, Luis was very transparent, professional, and kind.

We had major leaks in our irrigation system and took a bid from Botanist of the Valley. They gave us a bid that not only addressed our current issue but also used the best products to help us save water with a new system. I really appreciated their whole system focus! I was not disappointed with my choice as they were on time and left my home better looking than when they came. All the digging that was done was not noticeable. Communication during the job was excellent. Both Emo and Bryan were the best! Thank you Botanist!

We would like to thank Luis and the entire staff of Botanist of the valley for a job well done. Our front landscaping needed a complete rip out as did our walkway. Marty contacted us immediately and drew up detailed designs for the project and estimate. The entire crew from demo, install new irrigation, lighting and pavers for our courtyard and plantings were excellent. The final result is beautiful and we would highly recommend BOTV to anyone looking for quality workmanship.

We were brand new to the West Valley (and AZ) and were overwhelmed by both the amount of work that needed to be done in our backyard AS WELL AS the number of landscapers advertising in our area. My husband did a lot of research on-line and we had several folks out to provide us bids. Marty was very enjoyable to work with and provided us with a plan and quote that fit our needs and budget perfectly. Luis and his team worked tirelessly and helped navigate a couple of mid-project changes we decided to make. Loved the we can make it happen attitude knowing we also had budgetary limits. Luis/Marty - thanks for a beautiful backyard oasis that we're proud to call HOME!

UPDATE:
They showed up on time, brought everything they needed to get the job done. The finished product looks great. We are VERY happy with how Botanist handled this after an initial misstep. They worked very hard to make sure we were happy with the work and I think that's what a true professional does. I would recommend hiring them.

------

They came out to look at the job and told me it would be a few days until we got an estimate. I contacted them after a week of not hearing anything and they said it would be 7-10 days. It has now been 21 days and nothing. So unprofessional and extremely disappointing.

They finally sent a quote and it was for the wrong job!! Such incompetence. I don't have much faith that they can make this right. (1 star)

UPDATE: After seeing my reviews they contacted me and sent someone out to look at the job since someone in their organization so obviously dropped the ball. Adam was very apologetic and asked for a chance to make things right. The short of it is, they are starting the work this week and I am happy with their efforts to make amends. I will update again when the work is finished. (3 stars)

After careful investigation and discussions with multiple landscapers we decided to go with “Botanist of the Valley” to landscape our front and back yard. From the beginning, the process went very smoothly. They coordinated the selection of plants, rocks and any changes with us. All their workers were courteous and helpful during the installation. We even asked them to move our very large chiminea from the driveway to the back yard, no problem. Some additional work and equipment was added without the additional cost. After the work was done and paid for they have had an excellent response to any questions and landscaping touch ups. I would recommend “Botanist of the Valley” to my friends.

Follow up 1/2021 Botanist of the Valley did a project for us early in 2020. Part of the project was to improve the appearance and seal our existing pavers. Somewhere over the summer, the finish became cloudy. I asked them to return and make the situation right. After an evaluation, they returned, pressure washed the pavers, added new sand and resealed them. Afterwards they guided me to a source and I was able to apply another coating of the same product they used to add to the good work they had done.

2/2020 This is a landscaping and design shop that provides reliable and good customer service. They have a great client oriented culture and attentive staff. This is a landscaper you can rely on to respond to your questions and changes. Their quality of workmanship is a professional grade. I picked these guys from other Yelp reviews and very satisfied with my choice. I have had other landscapers who did not return my inquiries or to my needs with much attention. I recommend this company. I am a service contractor in another industry and know what it takes to make a client happy. These guys are good!

The best landscapers in Phoenix by far! The owner Luis gave us a first class experience from start to end.Great communication throughout the whole process. He explained in detail exactly what I was paying for.I've worked with quite a few landscapers on our back and front. The work turned out okay, but nothing to yelp about. Fili was the leader of the crew that worked on our front. He trimmed two large trees. He was able to teach me exactly what I needed to know to keep both trees maintained. I also showed him a couple of trees in the back and from there he recommended what I needed to do once the monsoons started to keep them alive. I will continue to use Botanist of the Valley with any landscaping job as well as recommend them to my family and friends. A great local business!

My wife and I choose BOV due to excellent reviews. We contacted BOV in the fall of 2019, and today 11/26/2019 the landscape project was finished after about one month of work. What a great job Luis and he's team did. From plant and tree selection at the nursery, to patio travertine selection, to rock gravel selection, Luis and his team installed an irrigation system and a lighting system. Top quality materials were used, like pvc for the irrigation system. My thanks especially goes to his team, Foreman Bryan, and Christian, Jose, Alberto, Americo, Ricardo, Migel, and Martin for a professional job done.

I had this company first come out for an estimate on 5/27/21. After several texts (the designer never answered his phone and the voicemail was always full so you couldn't leave a message), I finally got the estimate, but it was not at all what we'd talked about and was padded heavily with things we didn't want or need. I asked for an appointment to go over the estimate but the designer cancelled at the last minute, then cancelled several more times that day when I tried to reschedule for a zoom call. I called the main phone number and the owner said he would personally take over and make sure I was 100% satisfied. I told him the estimate was wrong and didn't even include several things we'd asked for. He bragged that he was the reason the company had a five-star rating and again assured me I'd be 100% satisfied with their work. I've never heard from them again. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since our last contact. They will probably respond to this review and make more promises, but if they were actually interested in doing a good job, they'd have done it by now. I would never recommend this company.

Our sprinkler system needed a to be replaced and after searching online we found Botanist of the Valley. We had several quotes from different Sprinkler companies but Marty and Luis really impressed us with their knowledge, product and their total-service company. They not only replaced our entire sprinkler system - which is now all online - making our water output much more efficient for our plants, shrubs and trees, they also pruned all our trees, a huge mesquite tree on our front yard was growing dangerously sideways - threatening to topple over onto my neighbors house! But they were so knowledgable and informative on how to prune the tree that it has now started to grow straight. They also pre-programmed all our water settings so that our trees weren't getting over watered which were causing the roots to lift.

Just recently we noticed a leak in our front yard, Luis and Marty were prompt to answer our texts to assure us that they would take a look at it. The pvc pipe separate from what was installed by Botanist of the Valley had a crack - they promptly replaced it that day!

I would highly recommend Luis and his crew for any or all jobs for your landscaping needs. We were so impressed by their professionalism, service and efficiency!

With Botanist of the Valley, 3 words come to mind: Quality, Communication, and Value. This company excels at all three!

Although our backyard project was smaller than some, we still asked BOTV to do a lot. We had drainage installed with river rock, we had a travertine seating area installed, we had pavers added in 3 locations, three sections of artificial grass installed, block wall installed, irrigation and low voltage wiring run, all topped off with 1 rock.

With this much going on, there were the usual snafus, but I have to say I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED! It's hard to pick the area where I was most impressed since every aspect of the job turned out superb, but I will cite the paver work. That crew is amazing! They can put down pavers faster than the material can be brought to where it is needed, and when it comes to making cuts that bring shape and form to the project, they were outstanding!

And one last point: Luis is great to work with! He quoted the job, got things rolling, adapted easily to changes I wanted added or removed, and then was easy to work with when we finalized the scope of work and billing. If we ever move and need landscaping done, Luis is the only one I would call.

Botanist of the Valley is as good as it gets. From first meeting/estimates with Marty, to design with Luis, installation, and even clean up. These guys are the essence of pros. The install crew of Emil, Brian and Casteel carried out every detail with care and dedication. The work was back-breaking at times, but Emil, Brian and Casteel worked seamlessly as a team. I could tell they too enjoyed the final outcome. The guys even went the extra step- over and above the contracted project- of using extra materials in my front yard to create a dry stream bed. I wholeheartedly recommend Botanist of Valley for any landscape needs.

We are new to the area and this was the second landscaper we have had work on the yards. The first one had to be replaced. My husband went online and did some research. We were very leery as the first attempt didnt go so well. Luis was very professional and made us feel at ease from the first meeting. I have to say, he is not a landscaper but everything that has anything to do with your yards. He took care of everything and contacted me with quotes as promised. He even took care of the whole HOA approvals that we all love. I finally got the approval to move forward from HOA and I don't even think it was a whole week....they are done. In one day. They left it beautiful. Cleaned up, no mess and all is perfect. Even better then we pictured it would be. They put in all the pavers, moved plants, replace dead trees and put in the Hunter Hydrawise watering system that I love already. I would recommend Luis and his team to anyone and everyone. His guys were very professional, helpful and very nice. Try them...you will not be disappointed.

Hire these guys! Luis and his crew are the absolute best. Reliable, on time, friendly and professional. They installed all of our pavers and built a beautiful custom outdoor kitchen for us. It’s phenomenal! We highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you Luis for everything!

Left two voicemail messages for this company (11/22/2021 & 11/29/2021) and never received a call back or voicemail. Nice website with some very impressive looking landscape designs. By the message I left, maybe my project did not seem large enough for this company. Not a good way to conduct business.

Highly satisfied with Botanist Of The Valley Very professional with the work Luis gives out he is an amazing person and very easy to communicate with. If you guys need any job done I highly recommend you guys give them a call!!!!!

Botanist of the Valley (BOTV)
Magical!
The owner, Luis Leyva, came as requested to see exactly what we wanted, offered suggestions and listened to ours. He knows the names, characteristics, and nuances of every plant around as well as what is edible and what’s not! He is a delightful guy who genuinely wants to make everything perfect and his clients happy. He achieved those goals the first visit. Additionally, he has an engineering background and was able to solve our standing water problems and create an amazingly beautiful and low maintenance environment around our home.
He took us to a nursery to select plants and to other suppliers to see the ground lamps, irrigation system components, and to select the pavers we wanted. Never did he push for the most expensive, but always for the most durable and esthetically pleasing.
His teams always showed up on time and were a delight to have on the property. They come prepared and willing to work. Never once did they complain, and anything we asked of them was answered with, “No problem.” One supervisor on site said with modesty, “Yes, we are the Best of The Valley.” So true.
Our home has been magically transformed! Thanks to all of you!

If you want to pay your deposit only to learn that this company schedules you 3 months out, doesn’t return your calls, and doesn’t show up to appointments to fix your grading so your house doesn’t flood (which they said they could do), then book them. Will be reporting to BBB.

ORIGINAL POST: Great experience so far! We've only completed the estimate so far but we are very impressed. The best thing I can say is that it didn't feel like a sales pitch. He really took the time to understand our vision and let our ideas and budget guide the conversation.

Very impressed, and definitely recommend!

UPDATE: This update is long overdue but I wanted to see how the plants faired after 1 year. This company was a nightmare to work with. I was upset I didn’t get their 5 star treatment but considering they offered us a discount to write a 5 star review...do with that what you will....

If you are looking for a cheap company! Go with BotV. If you are looking for a company who stays in touch, delivers on what you paid for, provides guidance during design phase, recommends plants that will survive: Go with literally anyone else. I’ve attached a screenshot of the “service” I received from the owner.

A couple of our grievances: never created a 3D model of our project which was sold to us (nbd). Didnt place down a weed barrier (which is a nightmare today). All plants are on the same drip system and need different amounts of water so some are drowning, others are starved. No guidance on what type of plants do well together, what rocks looks good, etc.

Please don’t go with this company. We are now trying to find a company to do our backyard and hopefully see what they can do to fix the front....

Thank you for coming over so quickly the yard is nice and clean. I can't wait until you can put in the sod and plants.

They did a beautiful job. Very professional and courteous. It took a while but it was worth the wait. Highly recommend this company.

This company could be amazing, some talented individuals. Unfortunately, poor follow through, incomplete or incorrect work and passing the buck to avoid issues left me extremely unhappy.

These guys are great! Very responsive.

Marty and Joseph came out to our home to give a custom landscaping design for our yard. They were very professional, helpful, listened well, gave us really good input and answered all our questions. We look forward to working with them and seeing how it will all turn out.
