They went above and beyond by also trimming and cutting around the area, which was a nice surprise. The yard was left clean, the trees were trimmed nicely, and the new gate looks great. I compared three landscapers and their price was the most reasonable. The owner, Isaias, and his team were professional, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. I always believe small businesses take pride in their work, and it really shows with this team. Highly recommend TLP Landscaping! Photos attached. If you need to reach Isaias, his number is (602) 315-9380.

Posters and film clips of westerns like A Man Called Horse (1970) and Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josie Wells (1976). Handcuffs of all kinds on display (more accurately described as "retaining devices") in a western themed set. Mac Schweitzer's impressive collection of artworks, including depictions of desert animals and the wild west, especially a multitude of horse pieces. Countless paintings and artifacts on the second level, portraying native american history, the buffalo, and the evolution of american west landscapes. Scenes of collective work in western life among cowboys, herders, and traders. I found Eddie Basha's cottonwood tree root carvings interesting. And I was especially a fan of "Rabbit Hunt" by Loren Phillips (Hopi). Fistful of Colors in the north gallery explored the diverse meanings of color, such as the term "feeling blue", and how colors tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. The room transitioned into displays of movie posters, explaining why those from different countries vary in the way they are presented. Interactive exhibits throughout allow visitors to learn about Shakespeare in the Old West, women of the rodeo, even a scavenger hunt to find "escaped animals" in the museum. I was amused by fun facts like the first circus (Ryland's traveling show) taking place in Tombstone Arizona Territory in 1880, or how the full saying of "Ay Chihuahua" translates to "Yikes! How many Apache Indians are there without sandals!", referring to Apache raiders like Geronimo invading northern mexico wearing calf-high deerskin moccasins. There was also a small sculpture garden outside and gift shop worth checking out before leaving.

Case in point: Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with my mom to check out this museum that specializes in Western and Native American art. Here's what I really like: complimentary docent-led tours three times daily. We got to participate in two of them. They're a great way to get a more in-depth view of the museum. With that being said, even if you explore the museum on your own, you'll have a great time doing it. It's a two-level museum and there's plenty to read about and check out. We spent roughly three hours there and probably got through about 50% of the museum. Here's what I didn't like: they have two back-to-back video presentations in the small theater. They unfortunately weren't happening when I was there due to a private event. Bad luck on my part. Also, general admission is a bit pricey. Outside of the price, it's a fantastic museum. There's a complimentary parking lot across from the museum or you can find street parking. And it's a few blocks away from the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. You'll see Arizona's landscape represented in paintings, Native American artwork, Western movies, and much, much more. I'll definitely be back again!

They originally reached out to me to schedule a spray, when I confirmed, they quoted me more than double of the last time. Then when I questioned it, they decided I should go with another company! I had been using them for 6 years. After agreeing to pay the new amount they decided I should use a different company. After questioning why, they then decided they dont come to my area anymore. Remember they had been spraying for 6 years, they reached out to me, they know my address!!!! Dont ever use them, Shelby and/or Tara are rude and avoid customers!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Casey Curran - Tidal Sky : immersive and interactive sculptures framed and freestanding, each incorporating delicate movement, beauty and decay. James Perkins - Burying Painting : literally, this artist buried his artwork in locations such as beaches and the desert, exposing them to the collaborative forces of nature to evoke beauty and emotion. --- Bonus for us was a weekend Merchantile Market gathering of vendors for the afternoon in the nearby Civic Center Plaza offering live music, food trucks, handcrafted beverages, and vintage finds and handmade goods perfect for gifting. Street parking was easy and free nearby. Well worth a visit in Old Town!

I wanted to buy one since my really old one at home decided not to bloom this year! If you need Christmas or holiday spirit and live close by, you should visit! It's a beautiful place.

You can really tell they care about what they do and are thoughtful with their recommendations. The space feels calm and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.

The walls were filled with different tea selections, tea accessories, and art; it was a tea lover's dream! The staff there were patient as I looked through all their different tea varieties and offered suggestions as they recognized that their vast array of teas could be overwhelming to sift through. I ordered their iced Berry Rhubarb tea, and it was delicious. I even picked up a few packets of prepackaged tea from the sale rack to take home with me. Where this shop excels is in offering so many different options. I will say if you wish to take some loose-leaf tea home, the prices are on the higher side, so be prepared. They do have minimum requirements of how much you need to purchase, which ultimately made me get some off the sale rack vs. buying fresh tea of varieties I really wanted to take home. If I find myself in the area again, I would swing by again for a cold bevy.
