Jardineros en Surprise, AZ

“Nestor and his team are amazing. Our backyard overhaul included turf, pavers, plants, trees, irrigation, and a custom firepit. The finished job was exactly as what we wanted and the entire process was seamless.”

“Such a an amazing company, I love the design that Susanna did for our yard! We can't wait to do the front.”

“We hired Merit Landworks for a particularly difficult landscaping and pool renovation that required, in essence, the services of an engineer. Jamie Santiago proved that and more with a creative design that met all our criteria and fit perfectly in what was a challenging space to navigate. His energy and enthusiasm never flagged, nor did his dedication to the project. He was on site throughout using his skill and keen instinct to envision problems before they would occur, then engineer a solution. This enabled us to be continually confident in the management of the project from our home overseas. We have nothing but high praise for him and his excellent team.”

“Enlarge our front yard to accommodate three Labradors. Replaced main area of gravel with top-of-the-line artificial turf and flagstone. Extended stucco walls, re-hung front gates, built in planters and niches in wall, entire new landscaping around walls. Installed new landscape lighting.”

“I am highly honored to write a review for the Pond Gnome. We originally spent over $15,000 putting in a pond by an "artist" who assured us he was an expert pond builder. Within 6 months we had a moss pit that stunk. After one year, I told my husband to fix it or fill it in. WE interviewed almost every pond builder in the valley. The owner came out, and gave us the very bad news that we basically had a disaster on our hands, but he could fix it. So he repaired our pond and we have the most beautiful pond in the world. This was over 8 years ago, and we still love it. We have since added a stream to our front yard which everyone absolutely loves. We do also take advantage of the ongoing maintenance that the Pond Gnome provides as both of us work, and they keep both of our ponds in the "ohhh ad ahhh" stages. This is a wonderful company, and they KNOW what they're doing. Please feel free to call me if you want to either see my ponds to talk to me personally. My cell is 480-695-5603.”

“Josh and his crew were great. I needed the job completed quickly and he was able to deliver. Quality work on time as promised. I also really appreciated him listening to me and staying within my budget. I had three other bids from other contractors that really tried to up-sale me on things that I didn’t want or need. Thank again for the outstanding job!”

“John and his crew were very professional and meticulous. We love our new plants, tree, lighting, repaired drip system, and general landscape clean up. We plan on having Divine Creations come quarterly for landscaping, and there are some projects down the road in the backyard we’d love to use them on. Highly recommend!”

“Years ago I hired Pristine Landscaping to do weekly yard service. I’ve been very pleased with the politeness of their crews, the quality of work and the quick response to any additional work I request. The owner, Jason Caruso, is available for any questions or concerns that I have. I get many compliments on our landscaping from our neighbors and guests visiting our home, all attributable to Pristine Landscaping.”

“Luis' knowledge and ability to install a raised garden bed and oathway has allowed us to successfully gain sustainability through every harvest thus far! His recommendation on soil alone has contributed to enormous amounts of vegetables and fruit including but not limited to okra, yellow squash, zucchini, honeydew melon, tomato, beans, etc. His patio inspiration has helped us to create a serene, inviting earthy, outdoor living experience! Who wouldnt want that in their very own backyard?!”

“A year after moving into my new Glendale home I had yet to address my 1200 sq. ft. dirt backyard. This gave me a chance to watch how rainfall was designed to drain across the backyard, resulting in pools of mud that never seemed to dry. Hand-watering my tree and shrubs resulted in more mess. I needed help in gaining control over my yard! Much research led me to Advant-Edge, a local family-owned business with a “Hardscaping and Irrigation Systems” license. The owner, David Bell, came over to my house in early January to scope out the yard, listen to my vision, and watch videos of rainwater drainage issues. David proposed burying a 6” pipe across my yard to better direct the drainage. He also proposed burying a drip irrigation system (to water all of my plants) and tying it in to my existing Hunter system used for the front yard. Finally, we discussed the advantages of using pavers, artificial turf, and rocks to give me a low-maintenance, well-drained yard. I was impressed that the Belgard paver company had awarded a “Master Craftsman” certification to Advant-Edge! Later that day, with measurements and product preferences in hand, David sent me a contract to review. His contract is lengthy and all-inclusive. I read it and sent a list of questions to better understand his recommendations and the workflow. He took the time to respond to each question. I signed the contract with no concerns, because: 1) David is smart, and kind, and is proud of his well-regarded local business; 2) David trains AND retains his crew, who know what they are doing without constant oversight; 3) David did not try to “upsell” to costlier products that I did not want or need; and, 4) David takes on projects of all sizes, and I sensed that he would not minimize my smaller project. Then I sat back and waited my turn in the queue. (This is important to understand: because of all of the above factors, Advant-Edge juggles numerous projects at once (just as a home builder does). David does not over-promise, nor does he hire a bunch of temporary, minimally trained workers who would prioritize speed over quality. Further, each time it rains, all projects are moved back, because the ground needs to be dry to do much of the work – this is spelled out in the contract.) Once the project started in early March and materials were delivered, the workers maximized every dry day, from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. And, boy did they work! They carted tons of material (rocks and pavers and pipes) from the driveway to the backyard. I never heard them complain – they just worked. The crews swept the driveway and picked up trash before they left every day. The final walk-through was on March 31. I sent a list of questions the night before, and each was answered. There were no lingering issues that needed attention or repairs. The plantings were already being nourished by the irrigation system. The final cost equaled the contract cost. I was (and am) so happy with the final product and look forward to enjoying my new backyard! David takes care of his customers, employees and his community. As Covid-19 became a growing threat to his community, he organized and held a mammoth giveaway of food, cleaning and paper supplies at his Peoria warehouse. He has shared lists of local businesses that need our business. He even asked me if I needed him to pick up anything from the grocery store while he was there. Support your local businesses!”
