Hillside lots

On a Fountain Hills slope, water and soil want to move.

Fountain Hills is a town in Maricopa County, set on hills between the McDowell Mountains and the Verde River. Many homes are built on graded pads cut into a slope, with natural washes carrying runoff past the yard.

That makes erosion the main problem for a landscaper here. A monsoon storm can wash rock off a bank, undercut a walkway or bury a drip line, so the yard has to be built to hold its ground.

What we build on Fountain Hills lots
Services

What CGL brings to a Fountain Hills property.

Here are the six service groups we offer in Fountain Hills, each linked to its own page. Hardscape and design usually lead on a sloped lot.

A retaining wall, a set of steps or a new planting bed all depend on how water moves across the property. We plan the landscaping services Fountain Hills homes need around that first.

01

Retaining walls, steps, walkways and patios.

02

Desert layouts planned around the grade.

03

Drip lines zoned so water stays in the beds.

04

Trimming and removal on tight hillside lots.

05

A level green area that needs no water.

06

Cleanup after monsoon storms and ongoing bed care.

Is your hillside yard washing out?

Call with your Fountain Hills address. We confirm scheduling and then come look at how water moves across it.

Day and night

We plan a Fountain Hills yard for daylight and for dark.

By day we check the grade, the washes and which native plants stay. We also note the views toward Four Peaks or the McDowell Mountains, so new trees and walls do not end up blocking them.

Then we plan for night. Fountain Hills is a recognized dark sky community, so any lighting we add sits low, points down and covers only what the paths, steps and plants need.

How we work

Getting a Fountain Hills project from plan to finish.

Fountain Hills is a longer trip north from Chandler. We start by confirming your address fits our schedule, and then the work follows a set order.

Structure goes in before plants. Walls, steps and drainage come first, so the planting and drip lines are not disturbed by heavy work later.

01

Confirm scheduling

We check the trip against our calendar.

02

Site walk

Grade, washes, views and native plants noted.

03

Written plan

Walls, beds, drip and lighting with a price.

04

Structure first

Retaining walls, steps and grading.

05

Plant and water

Native plants, rock and zoned drip.

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

Before you hire us for a Fountain Hills lot.

These answers cover what Fountain Hills homeowners want to know before they bring in a landscaper from Chandler. Ask anything else when you call.

Slopes, runoff, lighting, views and distance come up again and again. Here is where we stand on each.

Yes. Fountain Hills is a longer drive for us, so call with your address and we will confirm whether we can schedule it.

We keep the work inside the area you want landscaped and leave the native desert you want kept. If your HOA marks areas that must stay natural, we plan around them.

We use fixtures aimed down and shielded so the light lands on paths and plants, not the sky. Check your HOA guidelines before you pick fixtures.

Runoff follows the washes and the lowest path across the lot. We use walls, rock channels and grading so the water passes through without taking the yard with it.

Native shrubs and groundcovers with spreading roots do well and help hold the soil. We choose them for your sun exposure and the steepness of the bank.

Yes. We place trees and taller plants with your views in mind and can suggest smaller desert trees where a big canopy would get in the way.

Where we work

Landscaping in the hills below the McDowells.

Fountain Hills sits northeast of Scottsdale, with the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to the east and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to the south. Our crew drives up from Chandler for projects here.

The town is known for the fountain in Fountain Park and for views of Four Peaks. Yards here share the Sonoran Desert climate of the rest of Maricopa County, with more slope and more runoff than most.

Hillside services

Walls, paths, drip and light for Fountain Hills.

These four link to their own service pages. Together they cover most of what a sloped desert lot needs.

Retaining walls and walkways deal with the grade. Drip irrigation and shielded lighting finish the yard in a way that suits how Fountain Hills is built.

/01

Block walls that hold a slope and make level space.

/02

Water delivered to each plant without runoff.

/03

Paths and steps that stay put on a grade.

/04

Low, shielded light for paths and plants.
