How these yards get used

Scottsdale backyards are built for living outside.

In Scottsdale, the backyard often does the job of an extra room. Travertine decks, covered patios, outdoor kitchens and fire features make it usable from the cool months into late spring and on summer evenings.

The front yard is usually the opposite, with desert plants, boulders and rock that suit the Sonoran Desert and many HOA guidelines. A good plan treats the two as parts of one property.

What we build in Scottsdale
Services

Six ways CGL works on Scottsdale properties.

These are the six service groups we offer in Scottsdale, each with its own page. Hardscaping and turf lead many backyard projects here.

A resort style backyard is usually several services at once. A travertine patio, a shade structure, a putting green and new planting can all be designed and built as one project.

01

Travertine, pavers, outdoor kitchens and shade.

02

Lawns and putting greens without the upkeep.

03

A plan that ties the patio, plants and lighting together.

04

Drip and sprinkler zones for planted areas.

05

Palms, mesquites and shade trees trimmed.

06

Keeping a finished yard looking finished.

Planning a Scottsdale backyard?

Tell us where you are in Scottsdale and what you picture. We confirm scheduling, then come out to talk it through.

Layout first

Outdoor living starts with a Scottsdale site plan.

Where the sun sits in the afternoon decides where the shade, the kitchen and the seating should go. We look at the house, its orientation and the existing patio before sketching anything.

We also check where utilities can reach a kitchen or fire feature, and how water drains off new hardscape. Those details shape the layout as much as the look does.

The steps

How we build a Scottsdale outdoor living space.

Scottsdale is a longer drive than our East Valley jobs, especially the north end of the city. We confirm your address fits our schedule before setting up a visit.

From there, a backyard build follows the same order every time. Hardscape and structures go in first, then turf, plants and lighting finish it.

01

Confirm the address

North or south Scottsdale, we check the calendar.

02

Design meeting

Layout, materials and how you use the yard.

03

See it first

Optional 3D rendering before building.

04

Hardscape and shade

Patio, kitchen and structures built.

05

Finish

Turf, plants, drip and lighting.

Around Scottsdale

Cities near Scottsdale on our service list.

Fountain Hills sits just to the northeast, and Phoenix borders Scottsdale on the west. Tempe and Mesa are to the south, closer to our Chandler base.

Each area page describes what yards there usually need. If your property is near a city line, choose whichever page is closest.

Pricing

What shapes the cost of a Scottsdale backyard.

Scottsdale projects are quoted after a design conversation and a site visit. The range of materials and features is wide, so the price is built line by line.

The four factors below explain most of it. Travel from Chandler also plays a part, especially for north Scottsdale.

Materials

Travertine, pavers, turf and finishes vary in cost.

Features

Kitchens, fire features, shade and greens add scope.

Square footage

The size of the patio and yard being built.

Location

South Scottsdale is a shorter trip than the north end.

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. They completed everything quickly and efficiently. The final result looked clean and well done. Communication was excellent the whole time. I would definitely use them again.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. Linda Coolidge, AZ

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.
Questions

Scottsdale backyard questions, answered straight.

Here are the questions Scottsdale homeowners tend to ask before starting an outdoor living project with us. Ask anything else on the call.

They cover distance, design, materials and features like putting greens. If your HOA has rules, bring those too.

We take on projects across Scottsdale, but the north end is a longer drive from Chandler. Call with your address and we will confirm scheduling.

For daytime use, usually yes. A pergola or shade structure set against the afternoon sun makes the seating area far more comfortable.

It is a popular choice here for its natural stone look. We can walk you through how it compares with pavers for your yard and budget.

Yes. We install putting green turf as part of a backyard project, shaped and sized to fit the space.

Yes. We work with desert plants, boulders and rock, and we build to your HOA guidelines.

Yes. Smaller, older lots in south Scottsdale are often a good fit for a patio refresh, turf and new desert planting, and they are the shorter drive for us.

Where we work

Landscaping from Old Town to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Scottsdale runs a long way north, from Old Town and the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt up past Pinnacle Peak to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. We reach it from Chandler by the Loop 101.

South Scottsdale has older homes on smaller lots, and the north end has newer homes set in more open desert. All of it shares the Maricopa County heat and the monsoon season.

Backyard features

Four features Scottsdale backyards are built around.

Each of these links to its own service page. They are the pieces that make a plain backyard a place to spend the evening.

Travertine and outdoor kitchens set the base. Shade structures and a putting green add the parts people use every day.

/01

Natural stone patios and walkways.

/02

Islands with counters and room to cook outside.

/03

Cover for patios and seating areas.

/04

Turf greens for practice at home.
