Have a plan, or just a bare yard? Our landscape installation in Chandler, AZ takes it from dirt to done. Call (480) 219-0038 and one crew handles the grading, irrigation, planting and rock, so nothing gets lost between trades. We are family owned, licensed, bonded and insured, and every install starts with a free on-site estimate and a written quote.
Tell us where the yard is and we will come measure it.
When plants go in before the water lines, or rock goes down before the grade is right, it shows within a year as dead spots and standing water. We sequence the install so each layer sets up the next one.
In Chandler that order matters more than most places. Caliche and clay soil drain slowly, summer heat stresses new plants, and a single monsoon storm will find any low spot the grading missed.

A full landscape install touches everything from the dirt up. These are the six parts of the job our crew handles on installs around Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa.
Keeping them with one crew matters. The trench for the drip line, the planting hole and the rock that covers both are done by people who know what went in underneath.
Soil worked and moved by hand where a machine will not fit, then planted.
Side yards trenched for water lines and shaped before anything goes on top.
Bring any sketches or plans you have. We start with a free site visit and go from there.
We check access for equipment, where the water line comes in, how the ground slopes and what has to be removed. Those details decide the schedule and the number, so we see them in person.
A mini skid steer can cut a day of hand digging, but only if it fits through the gate. We measure side yards and gates on the walk so the quote reflects how the work will actually get done.
The order below is the same on a small front yard and a full backyard. Only the size of the job changes.
Every landscape installation in Chandler we take on follows these five steps. It does not matter whether the plan came from our design team or from a sketch you brought to the site visit.
Old material cleared and hauled away.
Ground shaped so water drains away from the house.
Irrigation trenched and run to each area.
Trees, shrubs, sod, turf or rock installed.
Site cleaned and checked with you.
A lot of our installs set pavers, walls or concrete in the same project. Building them together means the grades, borders and planting beds meet cleanly.
Block retaining walls, concrete pads and pergolas also change where water goes. Setting them as part of the install lets us plan drainage and irrigation around them instead of cutting through them later.
Installs are priced from the plan and the site walk. These are the parts that swing the number up or down.
Two yards in Chandler and Gilbert with the same square footage can land far apart. Access, plant sizes and how many irrigation zones the plan needs usually explain the gap.
Square footage and how many separate beds, lawns and paths are in the plan.
Room for a skid steer versus moving soil and rock by wheelbarrow.
Plant sizes, rock type and whether the lawn is sod or turf.
Number of zones and how far the lines have to run.

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
Have something else on your mind? Ask during the free site visit and we will walk through it with you.
These are the questions Chandler homeowners ask most before a new landscape goes in. They range from timing around the summer heat to what happens to the old plants.
For a full yard, yes. Even a simple plan keeps the beds, water lines and hardscape lined up. For smaller jobs we can often plan it on site with you.
Not the whole time. We do need access to the yard and the water shutoff, and we like to walk the finished work with you at the end.
We remove and haul off what is coming out. If there are plants worth keeping, tell us and we can work around them.
Yes. Many Chandler yards mix a lawn area with desert beds. We zone the irrigation so each one gets the right amount of water.
Hardscape and rock can go in most of the year. Plants and sod settle in easier outside the hottest weeks of summer, and we will talk timing with you when we quote.
Yes. We install across Chandler, Ahwatukee, San Tan Valley, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Queen Creek.
Our crews work out of Chandler. They cover Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, San Tan Valley and the surrounding cities.
New construction lots in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley often start as bare dirt, while older Mesa and Tempe yards need demo first. We install landscapes for both across Maricopa County.
Some jobs are one bed. Others are the whole property. These are the four we see most from homeowners around Chandler.
Each scope uses the same prep, irrigation and cleanup standards. The difference is how much of the yard is in the plan and whether it ends in sod, turf, rock or planting.
Real crew photos from our own jobs around the East Valley, not stock pictures. Ask to see one near you.
They show landscape installation in Chandler and nearby cities mid build. Desert shrubs go into rock beds, gravel gets spread and a patio goes in beside new sod.
CGL is a family business out of Chandler. The people installing your yard work for us, and they clean up before they leave.
That is how we keep an install consistent from the first trench to the last plant. You deal with one company for the plan, the crew and any question after the job is done.
Request a free estimate at the property. We look at the space, go over the plan and give you a written price for the install.
Maybe it is a bare dirt lot in a new Chandler neighborhood, or a tired yard that needs to start over. Either way, call CGL Landscaping or send the form to set a time.
