Beware of this contractor! Creative Environments 'Enri Torres' out of Indio. He did our artificial turf and a driveway. They broke the water main while demo'ing the drive which can happen. We helped them with a PVC coupler, and they found an old PVC 90 degree fitting in their truck and fixed the water main. 5 months later the area of the drive where the fix was done began to leak. We were away and asked Enri to please take a look. No response for over a month. Finally he agreed to meet my gardener there and take a look. He did not pull the pavers, or the turf next to it to inspect and instead told my gardener that he wasn't going to fix it unless we paid for it. Sure enough when we arrived home and he finally responded to us he informed us it would be $1,300 for him to take care of the problem and that it's probably irrigation that my gardener fixed for him and he 'usually' only guarantees irrigation for 6 months. The only problem with that was that the irrigation was capped. It's turf now. That and the fact our contract clearly states that the workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years. Our response was, let's open the drive and the lawn next to it and determine the source of the leak. If it's our problem then of course we will manage it, but it's exactly where the main was broken. His response verbatim was "Nah, I'm done. Yes or no?". Sound like a 10 year workmanship warranty? After a new contractor exposed the problem which was the old PVC 90 cracked due to being old and they shrink, he also noticed that the turf next to the drive where the leak was a mend job Mr. Torres did. A 2" strip of turf that was coming away from the rest of the turf and that that will not hold up. And it's not going to hold up. A 100' section needs to be replaced and done right. Torres thinks the 90 was from the original plumbing from 1985. Unfortunately, that does wash as two of us watched the repair, the 90 has rust stains and nicks from banging around in a truck, the glue is the same for both fittings and very different form the original glue and low and behold there's an etched bar code on the fitting which was not employed almost 40 years ago! When that was shared in a video Torres went silent after. That was a month ago. Torres has washed hands with the problem and refuses to live up to the warranty. We have asked for the turf manufacturer and product number so we can replace the whole turf job properly and he will not do so. Nor will he provide us with the manufacturer's 18 year warranty, which should have been delivered after the job was completed. Why? Did he not source it legitimately? So, he will not live up to the 10 workmanship warranty and we are stuck with turf that's an eyesore until we can find the manufactured and replace. We have filed a complaint with the state contractor's association and will be going to small claims court if needed. This guy has tried to bully his way out of this and now just walked away hoping we will go away. My guess is he thinks he can bully or ignore seniors and get away with it. I'm sure we aren't the first and in fact have seen at least one review where he's done the same thing. We will not as it's about what's right. He's a bad actor and not very smart, so please beware and share this with anyone who is considering using the company. We have cast a wide net and will continue to do so... read more

Inri came out to give me a bid on some cement and paver work on our house. We had three people out to give us bids, and I was very impressed with his professionalism. He had a lot of really great ideas and told us ideas we didn't even think of to make the job look better, and he explained things in such a way I knew he really knew his stuff. You could tell he did his homework and was so much more knowledgeable than the other two people. I highly recommend his services. read more

Inri and his crew were courteous, hardworking and professional. Got the job done as estimated and it looks beautiful. We had a walkway built with pavers from the sidewalk to our side gate. They also built a small patio between our two citrus trees in the backyard. The quality of the materials is great and the fit perfectly with the rest of our home. Inri even provided advice on other projects we plan to complete in the future. He is very knowledgeable and resourceful. Good local company to work with. read more

We absolutely LOVE our new patio! We hired Inri's company to convert a portion of our lawn to a covered (Alumawood) pool patio with pavers and surrounding landscape. See the 3D rendering featured above in the photos for an idea of how we planned our project. Inri was such a pleasure to work with and attended to our every need and request during each step of the way. The end result was even more beautiful then we imagined. Even as the scope of the project changed and we made minor modifications, Inri did not attempt to nickel and dime us. He was very mindful of keeping our costs down and staying within his original estimate. At the same time, he refused to compromise quality and insisted on delivering us the best in quality workmanship and service. A little while after the project was completed, Inri called just to make sure we were still happy with everything and offered to do whatever we wanted, either now or in the future to ensure that we stay 100% satisfied with our project. This is just one example of how Inri made us feel valued as his customers. Needless to say, the admiration was mutual. My only regret is that we didn't hire Creative Environments sooner. We were so impressed with Inri's professionalism and individual attention to our project. After dealing with some of the best (and worst) contractors here in the Coachella Valley, I am confident in saying that Creative Environments is the only one that I will use or recommend to friends and family for landscaping and masonry work. Look no further for your landscape/hardscape project. Creative Environments knows how to deliver the best quality and service at a fair and reasonable price. Thanks again Inri for making our vision a reality!! read more

I had them replace several sections of my pool patio In November. That work was done well and I was very pleased with the results. In early April I noticed that the new caulking under the new concrete between the concrete and the pool tile was split open in several areas. Probably had been like that for a while but I hadn't noticed because I didn't go into the pool during the winter. No response to texts with pictures, and when I called I was told that he would get to it by the end of the following week. It's been over 3 months now and more calls and texts. Still no Response. I realize this was probably one of his subcontractors, but it's not a difficult fix. Heck of a way to leave a project. read more

I called to get an estimate based on the favorable Yelp reviews. Inri set up an appointment with me and asked me to text him my address. Well he never showed for the appointment and then would not respond to my text messages and voicemails. read more

Wish I could give 6 stars. Inri did a fantastic job on our walkway and landscaping. After contacting Inri, he promptly scheduled a visit, gave us a very reasonable price and followed up at least twice to confirm exactly what we wanted before starting the project. He started promptly and kept us informed with daily communications regarding the progress of job and what we could expect for the next few days. He completed the project on schedule and even had his crew here till after 7:00 pm more than once. I am very pleased with the end result and highly recommend Creative Environments to anyone needed professional and reasonably priced landscaping work. read more
