A yard works best when it is planned as one piece. We offer landscape design in Chandler, AZ built for the heat. Call (480) 219-0038 and we will lay out the beds, paths, patio and plants as one plan that fits your water use and how you live. The same family-owned crew builds what we design, and every project starts with a free visit.
Tell us where the yard is and we will come measure it.
Most yards that feel off were done one project at a time. A patio here, some rock there, a tree that ended up in the wrong spot. Planning the whole property first means the paths line up and every phase fits the next one.
Good landscape design in Chandler starts with the site itself: full Sonoran Desert sun, caliche and clay soil that drain slowly, and monsoon storms that dump a lot of water at once. A plan that accounts for all three keeps water off the foundation and plants where they can survive.
Ready when you areReady to plan a yard that fits how you live and the Arizona heat? CGL Landscaping offers landscape design in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and across the East Valley, with the same team building what we design. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.
A landscape plan can be as small as one front bed or as big as a full front and back redesign. These are the pieces we lay out most often for homeowners in Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa.
Four of them have their own pages with more detail: 3D rendering, desert landscaping, landscape installation and landscape lighting. The other two are the reasons most people call us in the first place.
Trees, plants and the front of the house lit so the yard still works after dark.
Our crew grades, plants, sets the hardscape and hooks up the water to match the plan.
A cleaner entry, a clear path to the door and plants that hold up by the street.
Room for a patio, shade, a lawn or turf panel and somewhere for the kids and dogs.
Bring the photos you saved and a list of what bugs you about the yard now. We sort it into a plan on a free on-site visit.
We walk the property with you, measure the spaces, note where the sun and shade fall and check how water runs off. The plan is drawn around what is actually there.
That visit also turns up the things a template never shows: an HOA landscape rule on front yard plants, a low corner that floods in monsoon season, an old sprinkler main or a tree worth keeping. Each one shapes the design.
Every step leads into the next one, so what you approve on paper is what shows up in the yard. There are no surprises between the plan and the build.
As a landscaping company in Chandler, AZ that designs and installs, we keep the plan and the crew under one roof. The people who drew your layout are a phone call away from the people building it.
We look at the space with you and hear what you want out of it.
Beds, paths, patio and plants placed on one plan.
You mark it up, we revise it until it fits.
The approved plan is priced as one written number.
Our crew installs it and walks the finished yard with you.
Very few Chandler yards are plants alone. A paver patio, a travertine deck, a fire pit or a block wall usually anchors the layout.
Designing hardscape and planting together keeps the grades, borders and materials consistent. It also means irrigation sleeves and lighting wire go under the pavers before they are set, not after.
The design and the install are priced to your yard, not pulled from a chart. These four things move that number the most.
A small front yard refresh in Tempe and a full backyard build in Queen Creek are different projects. How much of the property is in the plan, and how much hardscape it carries, matter more than anything else.
One front bed is a different job than a full front and back redesign.
Old rock, dead lawn, stumps or concrete that has to come out first.
Patios, walls, walkways and fire pits carry more labor and material than plants.
Paver style, rock type and the size of the trees and shrubs you pick.

Slick landscaping did a great job transforming our yard. Zach was professional and kept us updated throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!Posted on Google![]()

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.Posted on Google![]()

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.Posted on Google![]()

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.Posted on Google![]()

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!Posted on Google![]()

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.Posted on Yelp![]()

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done.

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.Load more

These are the questions we hear most from Chandler homeowners planning a new yard. They run from phasing the work to picking plants that handle the summer heat.
It helps. A quick plan for the whole yard makes sure the part you build now does not get in the way of what you add later.
Yes. We can split the plan into stages so you can do the front this year and the back later, and each stage still fits the rest.
That is the starting point. We pick plants and trees that handle full afternoon sun and low water, and we place the thirstier ones where irrigation reaches them.
Please do. Saved photos, sketches or a yard you liked down the street all help us understand the look you want.
Yes. Our crew builds what we design, so the plan does not get lost between a designer and a separate installer.
Chandler first, plus Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley. Ask if you are nearby and not sure.
Designed and built from our base on Arizona Avenue in Chandler. We take on projects in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley too.
Yards across Maricopa County share the same heat, but not the same lots. Older Mesa neighborhoods, newer Gilbert and Queen Creek builds and HOA communities in Chandler each bring their own layout questions.
Each one can be its own project or one part of a bigger plan. Open any of them for the details.
Many Chandler homeowners start with one, often a desert conversion or new lighting, and add the rest over time. Because it all ties back to one plan, each piece still fits when it is added.
CGL Landscaping is a Chandler family business. The people who plan your yard work with the crew that builds it, and they are the ones you call if something needs a second look.
We design for the East Valley because it is where we work every day. That means plants that make it through July, grades that handle a monsoon and materials we have seen hold up in the sun.
Start with a free on-site visit. We walk the yard, talk through what you want and follow up with a plan and a written quote.
Whether it is one tired front bed or a full backyard, a landscape design in Chandler starts the same way. Call CGL Landscaping or send the form and we will set a time to come out.
