Blooming Desert Landscaping

Matt, Mike, Patrick, Jesse, Donna.and the teams of SMEs (subject matter experts) in every aspect from design to horticulture to rockery, arborist, pool pebble tec, shotcrete, turf install - it's all about the honesty and professionalism. I trust them. That's it, bottom line is trust. And these people are just flat out great at what they do.

We could not be happier with the end to end process of our new construction landscape and pool project. Our designer, Lindy, was amazing. She listened to everything we were looking to accomplish, made some suggestions that we hadn't thought about, and provided a design that we absolutely love. When it came time to get started, we were so fortunate to have Kenny and his crew on the job. Kenny communicated with us regularly and kept us in the loop on all the progress, permitting, etc.

Everything was seamless. The best part however, is the quality of the work. This is our second landscape project and the quality and professionalism is night and day compared to our other experience. We are blown away with how great everything turned out! This is a high end landscaper that is HIGHLY recommended.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Blooming Desert. From start to finish this company delivered what they promised and met the completion date like promised. Dave Shuck delivered the exact plans we all discussed and the project manager Kenneth with his Forman David delivered what we paid for. I highly recommend this company if want your project to go as planned.

I used Blooming Desert to design and construct my front and back yard landscaping. The design included a pool, hardscape features, artificial turf and a putting green. I thought the design prepared by the Company was good and I thought they did a great job through the build process (e.g., informative, timely, etc.). However, we have had repeated issues with the putting green.

The design of the yard does not appear to have adequate/appropriate drainage as rainwater significantly accumulates on the putting green, which is at a comparatively low point in the design of the yard. The putting green has developed sinkholes three times. In each case, the sinkholes appeared after rain. After the first rain, when we first discovered a sinkhole on the putting green, Blooming Desert coordinated their artificial grass subcontractor to fix the issue at no cost.

They "repaired" the issue the first time by repacking dirt under the grass. The next time it rained - same exact issue. The turf company returned to the property and claimed that the issue was being caused by "pests" burrowing under the green. They repacked the dirt again, but, after they left, I inspected the work and it was not entirely fixed/flat after the claimed to fix the issue.

It rained the next night and the sinkhole was back again. That's some MIGHTY pests if they fixed the issue like they claimed. Additionally, I have a pest company on property monthly and none of my neighbors have any issues with burrowing animals that Blooming Desert's subcontractor claims is the cause of the issue. Blooming Desert has now relied on the information from their subcontractor saying the will not "fix" the issue again at no cost.

Their position is unchanged after multiple issues relaying my perspective. I spent well over $100K on the yard and the fix is basically labor (unless fixing the broader drainage issue has more cost). What good is a putting green that has sinkholes? This is very disappointing after what was otherwise a positive experience.

I was delighted with Blooming Desert's work when they put in our front and back yard for our new house! We worked with J, who designed the landscape after talking with us to understand our needs and what we liked. He handled everything with understanding and professionalism from start to finish, and his design ended up looking even better, once put in, than it looked on paper!

That is a sure sign of someone with a lot of experience in knowing what will and won't look good! BD did a great job, not only installing our yard when they promised and in the time-frame they promised (which was quick), but they supported us in every way, answering questions, coming out immediately when needed. In the end, we have a yard we're extremely happy with at a good value and obvious quality. Thanks for making this a great experience, J and BD team!

I had a few different companies out to give me quotes for my backyard and pool. One severely over quoted me and the other never got back to me with a quote. I had the best experience with Blooming Desert. From speaking with Carlos on the phone in June of 2020, to meeting in person to discuss ideas in July, and then having a virtual meeting to go over the architectural design and make adjustments in August it was all fantastic. Carlos told me they were booking at the end of January and I signed my contract and paid my deposit.

He was in touch periodically when necessary and my project actually started about a week early. Kenneth's team was there at 7am on a Monday morning where it rained and snowed (yes, in Scottsdale) that day. Kenneth went door to door to let my neighbors know about my project and to give his card if anyone had any questions or concerns. My neighbors said I had the best people at my house when they'd see them coming and going. Crews were at my house at 7am daily, and often until 5:30, until my project was complete.

My landscaping was all done within a week! Kenneth's team is awesome and everyone really cares that things are done properly so there are no drainage issues. Kenneth has excellent communication as well and he was gone a couple days and had Luke overseeing my project. Kenneth introduced me to Luke and he was great as well. My pool took a bit due to some custom tile I wanted that was on back order and of course shipped from Texas during their blizzards. Dan managed my pool project and he was also an excellent communicator and kept me informed every step of the way.

He even came right out at 7am the morning after I had a question I texted him about my pool once it was filled. I had great interactions with Donna who does the billing and Geo in the service department as well as I've had my 30 and 60 day checkups on my yard. Everyone has been great and you definitely get what you pay for. I'd say this is my first project I've ever done where I didn't feel like I was the one managing it. It was great. My backyard looks like a postcard! Thanks again to you all!

Exceptional group of professionals. Matt did the design incorporating what we wanted and did one better by creating an outstanding landscape and pool design that more then met out expectations. He stayed with in our budget and incorporated everything we wanted. Landscape crew was outstanding lead by Kenneth. They work hard and produce a quality landscape.

More plants than other landscapers we received quotes from. They stand by their work. They aim to please. Pool is exceptionally well done. This is the 3rd pool I have had constructed and the pool construction lead by Dan was the best I have ever had by far. They were very responsive to our needs and aimed to please. Highly recommended.

Three years ago, Blooming Desert was hired to complete a $60,000 landscape renovation on the home we purchased. See Paul Anders review below. He had a similar experience. The masonry is falling apart everywhere around the entire house where they installed, they covered the sewer clean outs in the front yard with tile, this was one thing they did fix bc it was a code violation.

They did not apply drip lines to some of the plants around the yard, and didn't run drip line through the pvc to get to potted our plants, which sit on top of columns, they and are now leaking all over the place, but from the inside, so now the columns need to be redone as well because mineral build up and dripping water is ruining them. Since there is no pvc we can't run a new line.

There is poorly installed lighting which is now falling apart, including barbecue light etc. When we called them they said everything was out of warranty and they refused make things right. Do not use this company, you run the risk of being taken financially and having shoddy work done. Maybe they have different teams that do better work, but whoever worked on this yard gets a failing grade.

They should take care of the problems that they created especially for a renovation that cost $60,000. When we asked the sellers about their experience they said they were very disappointed and have discouraged others from using them.

We can honestly say that our expectations were surpassed in every phase of the project including all the work the design, pool construction, landscape and service teams endured in the middle of the summer. It is very clear to us that blooming desert puts customer satisfaction as their highest priority. I have heard horror stories about pool construction by other companies in Phoenix.

In our case, Jay made sure our design was exactly what we wanted and Roy made sure the pool construction was done on time and with no issues. We were also very happy with the work the landscape team did under Vince. They worked very hard to accommodate our requests every single day under 115 degree heat! Finally, when we found tiny details that we wanted fixed, Bill's service team worked on these details immediately until we were 100% happy.

It has been 3 months and the service team still responds immediately to any questions we may have. We cannot tell you enough how happy and impressed we are with the overall experience and the end result. We are enjoying our new backyard thoroughly and our visitors always tell us our backyard looks like it came out of a magazine.
