San Tan Valley yards

A San Tan Valley new build is a blank slate.

Much of San Tan Valley is newer construction, and many builders finish the front yard and leave the back as dirt. That gives you a clean start, but also means every line, grade and surface has to be planned from scratch.

Our landscaping services in San Tan Valley, AZ cover the whole job. We keep the builder’s drainage working, run irrigation before anything is covered, then build the patio, plant beds and turf on top.

Ready when you areReady to finish that new-build backyard? CGL Landscaping provides landscaping services in San Tan Valley, AZ, taking bare dirt to a finished yard with one crew and one written quote. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.

What a bare San Tan Valley lot needs
Services in San Tan Valley

Everything it takes to finish a San Tan Valley backyard.

A bare lot usually needs most of our services at once. That is easier with one company handling the order of work from start to finish.

The tiles below cover each part of a San Tan Valley install. Hardscape and planting are what you see, but grading and irrigation underneath decide whether it lasts.

01

Paver patios and borders set on a compacted base in a brand new San Tan Valley backyard.

02

Desert shrubs and trees placed to grow into a new yard.

03

A full system laid out on open ground before anything covers it.

04

A green play area without seeding a lawn from bare dirt.

05

Young shade trees planted, staked and watered in.

06

Sod laid on prepared soil, then mowed and fed as it takes root.

We will walk the dirt with you, plan the full yard and give you a free written price.

Start underground

On a bare San Tan Valley lot, the work starts below the surface.

The ground in a new build has been driven over by trucks and graded to shed water away from the foundation. We check that slope, loosen compacted soil where plants will go and keep the drainage path the builder set.

Then the water goes in. Mainlines, valves and sleeves under future patios are laid while the yard is still open, which is far easier than cutting through pavers later.

How it works in San Tan Valley

From dirt lot to finished San Tan Valley yard.

A full install moves through the yard from the ground up. Each step sets up the next, so the order matters more than on a simple refresh.

We plan the whole San Tan Valley backyard on paper first and price it in writing. Then we build it as one continuous project, without long gaps between stages.

01

Lot walk

Grade, soil and builder drainage checked.

02

Full plan

Patio, beds, turf, trees and lines placed.

03

Written quote

The whole install priced up front.

04

Other areas around San Tan Valley.

San Tan Valley sits in Pinal County, just south of Queen Creek and southeast of Gilbert. We cover it and its neighbors from our shop in Chandler.

Casa Grande lies farther south, and you can call to confirm scheduling there. See the nearby area pages below, or the full list of places we serve.

Pricing

What a San Tan Valley backyard install costs depends on four things.

Because a new build starts from dirt, the quote covers everything from the ground up. We price it after walking the lot with you.

Most of the difference between two San Tan Valley quotes comes from the mix of surfaces. How much of the yard gets covered in the first round matters too.

Yard size

Total area from the back of the house to the wall.

Surface mix

How much becomes pavers, turf, lawn, rock or plant beds.

Irrigation

The number of zones and whether it includes drip and sprinklers.

Trees and plants

How many go in and how large they start.

The full install is priced in writing before we break ground.

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.

New homeowners in San Tan Valley ask a lot of the same things. These are the answers we give most.
