Best And Maintenance in Phoenix AZ

Great work!

We recently completed a patio makeover which included a lot of demolition, engineering and design and building an outdoor fireplace, plants, fire bowl, planter bowls, sprinkler system, lighting and travertine patio & stacked stone. We started with another landscaper and had to terminate them due to fraud. Chris at Lone Star stepped in and helped us start over. Wow! What an amazing job they all did (Chris, office staff & laborers)! They were all so professional and hard-working and made sure every detail we wanted done was taken care of in a timely manner. We also added some additional work in the front yard once they got started. Our back yard is so beautiful and now a true outdoor living space. We still can't believe it's our yard when we look out the windows. It only enhanced our view of the golf course and mountains. We would recommend them to anyone needing work. They have great resources and are so knowledgeable in their work. We are definitely calling on Lone Star for our next project (hopefully Phase 2 of the rest of the yard). It is so comforting to know they do have your best interests in mind. Chris never recommended something that was questionable. Jamie in the office was always more than willing to help with any detail, always seeing it through to the end. The laborers were so professional and had a wonderful attitude, even though they are working outside in 110 degree sun. THANK YOU LONE STAR for an amazing job!!

Jesus and Al were amazing throughout this whole entire process. They did a fantastic job! Might have to deal with a grumpy owner every once in a while, but the outcome was great!

They did a phenomenal job. Super professional and respectful. Will definitely use them again.

The job came in on budget. They didn't quibble about nits and addressed most issues. The end result was good and there were even some spectacular results for some parts of the job.

The spectacular: The guys doing the stone work with the travertine were phenomenal. And the designer was phenomenal - attentive but great ideas and quickly came up with suggestions and improvements. He is the reason I chose this company. They weren't the cheapest, but definitely the way to go if you need help envisioning the work.

The OK, The Alumawood patio looks good, but leaks because the electrician drilled holes in the beam and sleeve, so it leaks right through the ceiling fan.

In general the contractors were good and cleaned up after themselves.

Areas for improvement:

- coordination between contractors and foreman - job started months late.
- had to drain my pool twice because of mis-communications
- electricians not terribly good. Have some pretty wacky wiring runs because they didn't follow plans
- Almost got a the wrong kind of cinder block because of miscommunication (the existing block wall is tan, and the small pocket wall to hide the pool equipment was supposed to match. Had I not been there on day one, I'd have gotten gray block of a different size and type.)
- Slow ... it took a week for the guys putting up the patio to dig 3 holes for the footers.
- Patio (aluma wood installers) almost didn't follow plan from the design and would have left significant gaps between existing and new patio. Had to argue a little and when I suggested we take it to the foreman, he agreed that I was correct. Later he admitted that it would not have worked had he done what he started to do.

Advice for prospective customer of any contractor - be present at selected points in the process. It's critical and will save costly mistakes and a lot of aggravation.

This is a good company and they do good work. They aren't perfect, but then, no one is.

Let me be clear. The service was great! The communication on the other hand was not. I run an airbnb company and had no idea they were coming so early in the morning. The guest staying at my house woke up around 6:50 am to leaf blowers and lawn equipment. We scheduled to have the service done that date but they never got back to me about what time they were coming. I called the company and they agreed to come later moving forward which is appreciated. It still doesn’t fix the issue that my guest have from getting woke up early which could negatively affect my company ratings.

Gave these guys a call, Anthony came out told him our ideas, he took some measurements and said he would be in touch with us in a week, its been over two weeks, nothing. Talked to the owner this morning said he would find out whats going on, haven't heard back, what a great way to run a business... Just lost a $50,000 contract. oh well on to yelp.

Branko and his crew are absolutely the best! Great service and totally committed to bringing our long-neglected yard back to its prime. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

The gents at Century West Landscaping are an excellent, fast, efficient and professional collection of well oiled cogs in the machine. These guys clear up your weed problems with ease and keep them gone! Every time Ivan and his crew have come out to my house it looks fantastic, front and back! Seriously I've been recommending CWL to everyone I know. True, honest, and hard work with the results you need.

Scottsdale Landscaping Company is a professional group of people. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! They transformed my large, Patio Installation into a dream. They have gone above and beyond to satisfy me. Thank You for making my dream come true, and I Highly Recommend it!

Descendants landscaping did a great job on my backyard!

I called them for an estimate and they were able to come out next day. After booking several estimates The descendants were the best choice for me. They installed my pavers and sod in 2 days and the grass is doing great. We have been staying off of it the first week, as per protocol, but me and my kiddos cannot wait to enjoy our backyard. I highly recommend this company. My neighbors came over to take a look at the work and they booked with the company as well. We were both able to get our backyards landscaped in the span of a week.

The landscapers were nice and respectful. They left my yard clean and gave me a plan on how to care for the sod. Today I received a follow-up call, just to check on how things are going. The company is going to come out to do my first lawn mow, fertilize the sod, and seed for summer grass. I am more than satisfied and highly recommend!

Helpful design of landscaping, the makeover of the garden, and decking, hardworking, honest, and reliable. Surely will recommend it.

Hired Jose for a general yard clean up and he did a good job. A couple of months later I hired him for monthly yard service. My lot is around 3/4 acre and we agreed on general cleanup excluding tree trimming for $175 per visit.

He and his team were punctual and stayed for about an hour which comes out to $58/hr per person. Front and back area looked good after they finished and Jose needed to get paid right then and there. After they left I discovered that the side area of my yard looked untouched and branch clippings that we had agreed to be picked up where left behind.

I texted him and his response was I do it next month. Since I don't want to stare at a pile of debris for an entire month I politely asked him to come back before next month and to complete the job. He agreed and said next week. I didn't hear from him for 5 days and reached out when he would come. His response: I'll come by tomorrow and pick it up, but in the future I will only pick up branched that we cut off. He made it sound like he was doing me a favor by coming back even though it was part of the scope when he quoted me.

Needless to say he didn't show up when he promised he would. I then proceeded to call him to see when he would come back and he just hung up the phone on me. At almost $60/hr per person I expect better service!

Hire him at your own risk. He is a charming guy and fooled me.

Also keep in mind of all the 5 star reviews he is one of the reviewers himself: Jose Rodriguez. The rest are probably friends and family.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Have had them scheduled at least 7 times to come do warranty work through Meritage Homes and they have no-showed every time. The irrigation they installed is leaking gallons of water a day. Meritage should care more and not take the lowest bidder as the winner, because they are supposed to be known for high-end homes. With hiring landscapers like this, the Meritage brand quality falls.
UPDATE: 9/10/18 - Scheduled once again. Stayed home from work again. Did not show up AGAIN (8th time).
