Why these yards are different

Rocky ground and older desert lots need a plan.

Apache Junction sits at the western edge of the Superstition Mountains, mostly in Pinal County. A lot of the ground here is rocky desert with caliche close to the surface, which makes digging, planting and trenching slower than on a graded suburban lot.

Many properties are older homes, manufactured homes or larger desert parcels where the landscaping has been left to fend for itself. Our job as a landscaping company for Apache Junction is to clear what is not working, keep what is, and set the yard up to get by on less water.

What we handle in Apache Junction
Services

Landscaping services in Apache Junction, AZ, from one crew.

These are the six service areas we bring to Apache Junction. Each one links to a full page with the details of how we do the work.

On desert lots near the Superstitions, most projects mix a few of them. A yard might need dead trees cleared, new rock spread and a drip system rebuilt before any new plants go in.

01

Plans for desert yards that suit rocky ground and full sun.

02

Decorative rock, pavers, walkways and walls.

03

Trimming, removal and new desert trees.

04

Drip and sprinkler lines found, fixed or replaced.

05

A green patch with no mowing and no watering.

06

Seasonal cleanups to keep the desert from taking the yard back.

Is your Apache Junction lot overgrown?

Call with the address. We will tell you if it fits our schedule and set up a time to look at it.

Look before we dig

We see the ground in Apache Junction before we quote it.

Rocky soil changes the job. What looks like an easy trench in a photo can turn into a day of breaking through caliche, so we look at the property in person before we put a number on it.

We also check where the washes run, where water collects in monsoon season and what the existing drip or sprinkler lines are doing. That way the quote covers the real work, not a guess.

How it works

From a phone call in Apache Junction to a finished yard.

Because we come out from Chandler, the first step is making sure your address works with our schedule. After that, the steps are the same as any job we take on.

We try to group the work so the crew makes as few trips out US 60 as the project allows. Fewer trips means less time lost on the road and more time spent on your yard.

01

Confirm the address

Call or send the form and we check the route and schedule.

02

Walk the lot

We look at the soil, plants, trees and water lines.

03

Written scope

What gets cleared, what gets built and what it costs.

04

Clear and prep

Brush, dead plants and old rock come out first.

05

Build and plant

Rock, hardscape, drip and plants go in.

Other service areas close to Apache Junction.

Apache Junction borders east Mesa and sits just up US 60 from Gold Canyon. We also work in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley to the south.

If your property is near the line between two of these, it makes no difference to us. Each area page covers what yards there tend to need.

Pricing

What sets the price of an Apache Junction project.

Every project is quoted after we see it. No two desert lots are alike, and the ground itself can change what a job takes.

The four things below account for most of the cost of landscaping in Apache Junction. We write the price down before any work begins.

Clearing needed

How much brush, dead plant material and old rock has to go.

Ground conditions

Rock and caliche take more effort to dig through.

Size of the area

Square footage of rock, beds, hardscape and lines.

Trips from Chandler

A project that needs fewer visits keeps travel time down.

The written quote covers the whole scope before we start.

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

What Apache Junction homeowners ask us first.

Here are answers to what Apache Junction homeowners ask before they hire a landscaper from outside town. Anything else, ask when you call.

Most of these come down to distance, desert soil and water use. If your lot has something unusual, like a wash across it or a steep grade, mention it up front.

Yes, we take on projects in Apache Junction. Call with your address and we will confirm whether it fits our current schedule.

No. CGL Landscaping is based at 799 S Arizona Ave in Chandler, and our crews travel from there.

Yes. It takes more effort to dig and trench, so we look at the ground first and account for it in the quote.

Native and desert adapted plants on drip usually do best here. We pick them based on your sun, soil and how much watering you want to do.

Yes. Clearing brush, dead plants and old rock is often the first stage of an Apache Junction project.

Because of the drive, regular visit plans may or may not fit our route. Ask when you call and we will tell you honestly what we can do.

Where we work

Landscaping out toward the Superstition Mountains.

Apache Junction is where the East Valley runs into open desert, with Lost Dutchman State Park and the Apache Trail just outside town. Our crews reach it from Chandler by way of US 60.

The city sits mostly in Pinal County, with a small piece in Maricopa County. Either way, the climate is the same Sonoran Desert heat, and yards here need plants and irrigation chosen for it.

Good fits

Services that suit Apache Junction lots.

These four services come up often on the desert side of the Valley. Each one links to its own page.

Desert landscaping and decorative rock suit a lot where water is precious and the ground is hard. Tree removal and regular upkeep deal with what the desert grows on its own.

/01

Native plants, boulders and rock laid out for a low water yard.

/02

Fresh rock or decomposed granite over bare, dusty ground.

/03

Dead or leaning trees taken down and hauled off.

/04

Upkeep for homes once the yard is back in shape.

LOCAL
By the numbers

Based in Chandler, willing to make the drive east.

Our family owned company runs from a single location in Chandler. We do not have a yard or an office in Apache Junction, and we will not pretend we do.

What we do have is a crew that installs desert landscapes, hardscape and irrigation every week across the East Valley. When your project fits our schedule, that same crew comes out to you.
