Top 10 Landscaping Companies in Scottsdale, Arizona

A Scottsdale homeowner should call a licensed landscaper with real desert experience, strong irrigation knowledge, and a clear written scope. Hiring one usually involves a site visit, design or maintenance plan, estimate, permits when needed, installation, and follow-up care for plants, irrigation, lighting, turf, or hardscape.

A Scottsdale homeowner should hire a landscaper with desert experience, clear licensing, and an irrigation plan suited to the property. Hiring one usually means a site visit, design and scope review, a written estimate, scheduling, installation, and a plan for keeping the work alive after the crew leaves.

Scottsdale yards live under a bright, dry sky. Summer heat can punish new plants, monsoon storms can arrive fast, and winter nights still bring a freeze risk. Soil may be compacted, rocky, alkaline, or full of caliche, so a pretty planting plan is only the beginning.

Look closely at drainage, irrigation zones, salt buildup, pool areas, artificial turf, and hardscape heat. Deer and rabbits may browse, while weeds wait for one good storm. Desert landscaping can be water-wise, but it is not care-free, and every shortcut eventually sends an invoice.

What customers say:

From our initial consultation with Jennifer, through the design concept, to the completion of the project, our experience with Luxe Outdoor Environments of Scottsdale could not have been better. After 20 years of the desert weather, periodic replacement plantings and patches to our irrigation system, our front and back yards were due for a complete makeover. Having reviewed numerous options, we selected Luxe and are very happy that we did. Jennifer worked diligently with us to create a design that incorporated existing, mature plants that were compatible with her plan, but also identified areas that required completely new plantings. She provided us with digital screenshots of how the design would look both in the day and at night, which made the submission of the plan to our HOA very easy. Jennifer selected healthy, mature plants from the nursery and her crew did an excellent job with the installation. Irrigation was repaired and new lines were run as needed. Jennifer came to the site daily to check the progress and would tweak the plan as necessary, as the project materialized. Upon completion, Jennifer came back with Matthew Dreves to walk the property with us and inspect the entire job. Matthew adjusted both the irrigation and the lighting and then reset our Rachio system to the appropriate watering schedule. Our new plants are already thriving. (I have attached few photos, but they do not do justice to the quality of the landscaping) This was not the biggest project for Luxe, nor was it the smallest. As Jennifer said when we first met her, "No project is too big or too small for Luxe." If you are considering a landscaping project of any kind, give Luxe a call...you won't be disappointed.

The entire team of people I had the pleasure of working with were skilled and hard-working professionals. They were always on-time and always listened/relayed communication about the details that were important to me. I can't wait to do more outdoor improvements with Pro Outdoor Services! Thanks Joe & Robert (and your team) for being so awesome to work with. We love our new pavers!!!

Kristy Todd, 9 years ago

Jen and Matt are INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough wonderful things about Luxe Outdoor Environments from the first time they came to the house to provide an estimate to the design, responsiveness, professionalism, work product, follow-up, pricing. All top-notch. This was a large project for us, and everything went better than expected. Our yard is stunning and was priced reasonably compared to other vendors. You will not be disappointed. They did everything for us from misters to a new drip system, all new landscape wiring and lighting, new plants, a custom gate, and even a new patio ceiling fan. Just truly amazing. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

We highly recommend Unwind Landscapes. Matt Henry and his team do an excellent job maintaining our yard. They come every four weeks and always send a reminder email two days before with the date and time they will arrive, which we really appreciate. They are punctual, professional, and thorough. They trim all the bushes, remove debris, and always check the sprinkler system to make sure everything is being watered properly. Recently, they replaced our sprinkler system using high-quality PVC pipe. Their price was very fair, and they put everything back in place beautifully. That was no small feat, especially in 110-degree heat! We are very pleased with their work and appreciate the care they put into keeping our yard looking great. Thank you so much Matt, Saul, German, David and the rest of the great team at Unwind Landscapes!

CDO ORTIZ (CDO), 2 months ago

We have been so impressed with Mat who is the Owner of Unwind. He is not only a great guy but he is so knowledgable of the desert plants and has done a wonderful job landscaping our front, side and backyard. We are from Oregon so we have enjoyed learning about the variety of desert Cactus and plants. Mat has a large nursery and loads up his long flatbed truck and brings options to us to choose from. He has a fabulous crew of three guys he brings with him that are strong and competent and know how to dig the right size hole and plant properly in addition to running irrigation to the plants. We also use Mats maintenance team monthly to take care of our yard and they are also great. They are efficient and know how to prune and make sure our irrigation is working correctly. I highly recommend them! Karen Frank

Unwind Landscaping is a very Professionally run Business. I am just the average Homeowner looking to be treated like a potential customer should be treated. 1. They answer their ph when you call them. 2. They follow thru “ on time” when they say. 3. They actually get back to you with questions you have and in My case VERY PROMPTLY. I had them take out 2 yellow bells ( they were pretty but MESSY), 3 hibiscus grew too high too fast impairing our view from our bedroom. Now having them putting in small cacti and small Rose bushes. German, the gentleman We are dealing with is so nice. Listened to our concerns, gave Us recommendations (and pictures) of what it would look like when finished. The wife and I were so impressed that We are now having them do monthly service. Cudos to German and His team. You can’t go wrong with Unwind Landscaping.

Lonestar did an amazing job with our landscaping. They also re built our irrigation system. We then decided to put lighting. It was a great experience and they always are quick to respond and help and answer any questions. I highly recommend and have told my friends about them. Great experience!

elizabeth Garrett, 2 months ago

We had just moved here and didn’t know who to call. I googled some companies and looked through Lone Star’s previous jobs and pictures. They had positive reviews and as Seniors, this always concerns us of being taken advantage of. LoneStar rep, Chris came to speak with us and made several suggestions as the previous owners hadn’t done anything with the yard for years. We were from Texas and the name Lone Star to us was a sign that we were meant to go with them! They scraped the front yard, widened our front driveway, added an additional driveway, gave us a new side yard and a Lanai. We use those areas now more than ever! Thank you Chris and that sweet bookkeeper he has!

Valerie Jacques, a year ago

Chris and Christy managed the rebuild of my pool and backyard and it turned out beautiful. It was enjoyable to talk about ideas to enhance the aesthetics and rely on their experience. They never panicked when I proposed another idea for a change and worked with me to flush the idea out and make it happen. The crews doing the work were friendly and professional. They really did great work.

What customers say:

Working with Gray Wedel and his Envirogreen team for our front yard landscape renovation project was extremely productive and interactive. His attention to the details as the project unfolded were thorough and consistent. This was a sizable job which included substantial underground drainage from our backyard rain gutters and extensive arroyo riprap features. Their selection of our plants and trees was exceptional. All of the boulders, landscape, irrigation, and final lighting installation came together in a little over two weeks. The end result exceeded our vision and expectations! The lighting performance at night has made our property really stand out. We could not be happier with the whole process and end result. It was a pleasure working with Envirogreen every step of the way.

Dave Rojas, 4 months ago

I have done remodeling at other homes we have owned, and I have never found a contractor who is so reliable, trustworthy, and communicative! I interviewed several companies for our complete backyard remodel, and it was apparent from the beginning that Sean was the best. He came up with a creative design for our backyard that provided more privacy; an entertainment space with a bar, tv, fire pit; and an outdoor kitchen. He asks questions to understand what your needs are and how you envision yourself using your yard to come up with a 3-D rendering of your ideal space. Sean has an eye for design and thinks of the big picture and the small details. We had to wait several months for the crew to start, but in my mind that was a good sign that Envirogreen was well sought after. They were worth the wait! Envirogreen has their own crews, instead of a bunch of subcontractors. Their crew, led by Abraham, was punctual, reliable, and hardworking. They showed up 5-6 days a week and worked long days until our project was complete. This kind of work ethic and reliability is so rare these days. Sean communicated with us throughout the entire process and his insights allowed us to make some decisions to improve the original plan as needed (i.e.- installed one bigger propane tank to serve our smoker, grill, fire pit, and indoor stove instead of added another smaller one). Envirogreen does good quality work, and we are very happy with the results! When we are ready to have work done on our front yard, we will be calling Envirogreen again!

Cynthia D, 11 months ago

We retained Sean and Envirogreen two years ago to completely redo our front yard landscaping. Sean created a fabulous design and his crew implemented it with great care and efficiency. Fellow residents of our gated community have commented that our front yard is the best one of all. We have since used Envirogreen to fix landscape lighting and irrigation issues related to past work by another contractor. Recently, they updated areas of our back yard with more appropriate and appealing replacement plants. Sean and his team are very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. They always leave the worksite looking clean and tidy when they are done. We have not hesitated to recommend them to others.

Excellent!!! Tag and his team did a fantastic job on our project. Communication was very good and they arrived on time when they stated they would. Once they were finished, they left the area cleaner than when they started (including cleaning the area on the street/sidewalk where material was dropped off). We had them remove a patio and install a new limestone one, remove grass and install turf, add some stone veneer to a small wall, cleared some existing landscape rock and dying plants replacing with new rock and some boulders, added landscape lighting and addressed a leaking drip system. Price was inline with where you’d expect from a project the size of ours. Definitely give Tag and his team at least the option to bid on your project. I give them my highest recommendation! Note…the photos attached are “before” and “after”, the top of the wall was stuccoed by them, but I will be painting it. Just wanted to make people didn’t think they left that unfinished. :)

Chad Jae, a year ago

Tag and his guy did a great job replacing my old landscape lights. Fair price and good communication. Would definitely recommend as he offers a host of services. He also did a great job on my friend's high end gas fire pit.

Michael Rodriguez, a year ago

Eclipse installed a new travertine walkway for us. They did a beautiful job with great attention to detail. They delivered as promised, completely, in terms of price and calendar. We will hire Eclipse again in a minute for our next landscaping project.

What customers say:

After reading through reviews of several landscaping companies and meeting with those companies I chose Think Green and I’m grateful that I did. Everyone associated with the company could not be any nicer. It started with the design of the front yard incorporating desert landscaping while removing the existing grass. Jon came up with a beautiful, low maintenance design that I absolutely love. I have always wanted curb appeal, which included soft lighting, and now I finally have it. The crew were efficient and on time. They include you in a text chain making it effortless to communicate with everyone. Jason, Eric (seriously the coolest guy!), Fred, Jon and their entire crew were so easy (and fun!) to work with. They listened when I wanted to change some things and were very accommodating. I can’t recommend them enough.

Laurie Lavallee, 2 months ago

Despite some setbacks (Primarily the fall rains that we had) the members of the Think Green team have been absolutely fantastic. They are all dedicated to creating an incredible backyard living space for my wife and me. From the beginning we knew that we had made a great choice when Jon created a backyard so perfect for us that we made absolutely no changes to his design. Jason helped put the project together and was always easily reachable for questions or concerns that we had along the way. Erica was always very pleasant when we needed to contact the office. Eric and Fred were great project managers. They were very personable and instrumental in keeping things moving forward and communicating with the subs. I could always reach Eric and now consider him a friend. Jeff oversaw our project and was also easy to reach if we had any questions or concerns. Regarding the subs, the masons, electricians, plumbers and landscape crews were all very nice and extremely hard workers. Thank you all for making our dream outdoor entertainment area a reality. Dwight and Danielle Miller

Dwight Miller, 3 months ago

We hired Think Green to replace our irrigation system and redesign the backyard landscaping with new upgraded lighting. Eric and his crew came in and did a great job with everything. During the process, Eric kept us involved at every juncture and did a great job of explaining his vision...always happy to hear our input and patient with any changes. We were also impressed with the attitude of both Eric and the guys. They worked well together as a team and seemed to genuinely enjoy each others company. When Eric spoke to the workers it was always with kindness and respect. The result is a plant design with a well working irrigation system that now provides us a yard we love spending time in.

I wish I had photos of what this looked like before but I am blown away with what an amazing job Jay did on this extremely neglected landscaping! The people who lived here before me did absolutely nothing for the landscaping for over a year and it was overgrown with weeds and a hot mess. Jay came and cleaned it all up in one visit and made it look brand new! He really knows what he’s doing and he is such an expert in this field. He also fixed and reset all of my automated timers for the watering. They were completely off! I’m so happy I found him and I’m grateful to my neighbor for referring him to me and look forward to having him take care of my landscaping moving forward!

Monica Hershaft, 4 years ago

Amazing work and transformation! Jay's team accommodated us last minute on a tight schedule, providing top-notch customer service, communication, and quality. The yard cleanup, maintenance, and overall work were outstanding! If you're looking for reasonable, reliable, and satisfying yard work, this is the place to go!

Michelle Mannenbach, a year ago

Jay was great to work with. Even though he had a full schedule, he got back to me quickly and lined up someone else to take care of the job since I was in a bit of a bind. Gabriel with Gabriel’s Landscaping stepped in, got it done fast, and did an awesome job. The price was more than fair, and I’ll definitely be sending friends and family their way. Really appreciate the help, Jay!

What customers say:

We contacted them for help with a side yard that had turned into a difficult strip of patchy grass and compacted soil. They recommended a practical combination of soil amendment, fresh seed, and improved edging so the area would blend better with the rest of the lawn. I was pleased with how they explained each step in plain terms. Nothing felt rushed or overly technical. During the job, they were respectful of our fence line and neighboring property, which I appreciated because access was tight. The final result looks much cleaner and more usable than before, and the side of the house no longer feels neglected. They also gave us straightforward watering guidance that has been easy to follow. The whole experience felt organized and well managed, and the improvement has made the yard look more complete from every angle.

Kylie Davis, 2 months ago

Lovely's Landscaping completed a front foundation planting project for us, including soil prep, bed shaping, and installing a mix of evergreen and flowering materials. The result has a very balanced look that works with the house instead of distracting from it. Their crew took time to lay everything out before planting, which helped us feel comfortable with spacing and height. I appreciated that they discussed sun exposure and mature growth rather than just placing plants for an immediate effect. The work area was kept orderly, and they finished with a thorough cleanup that left the property looking settled right away. Since the installation, the plants have established nicely and the curb appeal is noticeably better. It feels like a thoughtful plan rather than a quick cosmetic update. For homeowners who want a dependable company with a measured, professional approach, they are a strong choice.

Olivia Rogers, 2 months ago

these guys came out for a paver walkway reset and some planting bed work around the front entry. The old path had shifted over time, so we wanted something safer and more even. They lifted the loose sections, adjusted the base, and reinstalled the pavers in a way that feels much more stable underfoot. They also added fresh soil and installed a few low-maintenance shrubs that suit the space well. I liked that they kept the design simple and did not overcrowd the bed just to make the bill larger. Communication was consistent, and they checked in before making a couple of small placement decisions. that kind of care made the project feel organized. The finished area looks clean and welcoming, especially near the porch. It has been getting good comments from visitors, and the work seems built to hold up through regular weather and foot traffic.

I absolutely never leave reviews, but this company deserves this. Noah and his team did a fantastic job! From start to end, communication, organization, and professionalism was phenomenal. From the initial walkthrough, design, then install. Everything was organized and professional. All questions were answered in depth and fully. We had a small issue about a week afterwards with one of the plants, Noah had this fixed quickly and always remained professional and on time. I recommended Horizon to my neighbors and friends. Wishing the best for this HONEST company! Thank you Noah and his crew.

Noah and his crew did a beautiful job on our new turf lawn and Flagstone refresh. He always answered our calls and kept his timeline. I would highly recommend Horizontal Lanscape & Design.

How do you choose a landscaper in Scottsdale?

Start with the work itself. A company that designs a full outdoor living space may not be the best fit for a small irrigation repair, and a maintenance crew may not handle a pool remodel or permitted hardscape project.

Ask for a written scope. It should show which plants, materials, irrigation changes, lighting, drainage work, demolition, cleanup, and follow-up care are included. If the proposal says only “landscaping,” that is not a scope. That is a napkin wearing a tie.

In Scottsdale, ask how the company handles caliche, compacted soil, monsoon runoff, summer irrigation, and plant replacement during extreme heat. Confirm licensing and insurance for the work being proposed. Pool work, electrical work, gas features, walls, and structural improvements may require specific permits or qualified trades.

A good site visit should include sun exposure, mature plant size, views from inside the home, access for equipment, existing irrigation, and the way water leaves the property. Ask who supervises the installation and who handles warranty or plant loss after the work is complete.

Project need	Questions to ask	Watch for
New landscape design	Does the plan show plant sizes, irrigation zones, drainage, and materials?	A pretty rendering with no installation details
Irrigation or lighting	Who diagnoses the existing system, and what happens after installation?	New parts added without checking pressure, wiring, or coverage
Pool or hardscape project	Who handles permits, engineering, utilities, and cleanup?	Vague responsibility between subcontractors
Ongoing maintenance	Are pruning, seasonal changes, weed control, and irrigation checks listed?	A low price that leaves out water management

Get at least two written proposals when the project is substantial. Compare the actual scope, materials, schedule, payment terms, warranty, and change order process, not just the bottom line. The cheapest desert landscape can become the most expensive one if the irrigation is wrong or the drainage sends water toward the house.

Frequently asked questions

How much does landscaping cost in Scottsdale?

The price depends on the size of the yard and whether the work includes design, grading, irrigation, lighting, plants, artificial turf, pool work, or hardscape. Ask for a written estimate that separates labor, materials, permits, demolition, cleanup, and follow-up care.

What plants do well in Scottsdale yards?

Choose plants matched to sun, irrigation, soil, and mature size. Desert-adapted trees, shrubs, succulents, and flowering perennials can perform well, but even tough plants need careful establishment watering during Scottsdale heat.

Do I need a permit for landscaping in Scottsdale?

Some planting and maintenance work may not need a permit, while pools, walls, structural features, electrical work, gas lines, and certain hardscape changes may. Ask the landscaper what permits and licensed trades apply to the specific project.

How often should a Scottsdale irrigation system be checked?

Check irrigation each season and after major heat, storms, or construction. Look for broken emitters, clogged filters, leaks, overspray, uneven coverage, and controllers that water too often. A desert yard can waste a surprising amount of water through one small failure.
