    My confidence has been rebuilt as ULG got a personal confirmation from WetEdge Pebble manufacturer validating 15 year warranty. Amazing follow up! They have a dedicated team that came out to address minor aesthetic issues within 60 days of project completion on. Then they reached out for a six month follow up to which I happily reported a wonderful summer enjoyment of the pool and landscape remodel!

    So just an update 5 months and some change later. Pool still isn't done waiting a month plus for pebbletech install. Communication got better for a bit but back to same old. Now that most of the stuff is done we are like the redheaded stepchild. Maybe someone will show up to work on one of many items still not complete or to come back and fix the problems we point out from poor workmanship as we see them. Like digging a trench through my yard (after we agreed not to do this in the beginning and after 4 month of saying they were going to send out an electrician but never did including at the initial walk through) and then filling it without tamping it and covering with my landscape rock. So it has sunk in through my whole yard,for a month and a half I have been asking them to fix it but still have not. Also these guys have trashed the place and do not clean up after themselves. I'm talking soda cans, food wrappers all over the ground despite there being 4 garbage cans in the immediate area, nails, rebar strewn all over my yard. There is no concern for the customers from this company, the customer is a necesarry irritation to them. I would be ashamed to work for a company that conducts themselves like that. I have been having problems since the beginning with them not telling me when someone will show up (I have dogs that can be less than friendly and lock them inside when workers are in the yard. On Tuesday they sent a note saying painting would happen on Monday. On Friday at 4pm I hear my dogs going crazy in the yard I go out to find a woman on my back porch and not wearing a unique t shirt. I ask what the hell she is doing says she is the painter. I ask why not in a unique shirt and why she just let herself in?!?!?! After we got through all that and she is leaving she picks up her hammer and tools says I could get the gate open had to beat it with my hammer! What the heck??? Who does that? Heres an idea knock on the frigging door and tt the homeowner. I have never been so disappointed and disgusted with a contractor as I am with Unique Pools

    We started the process by having Unique help us design both the pool and all landscaping. I would recommend starting as early as possible so you have plenty of time to design and get everything as you would like. I worked with Unique very closely on ensuring our pool would operate they way we want, it was not easy on how we would like to operate and automate our pool. Chris (the owner) personally got involved as we were finishing the pool and worked through all the systems to ensure great operation! The landscaping portion was excellent as well, great quality and everything came out as expected.

    Unique did an amazing job of bringing our design to life. We love how everything came together and now have a beautiful space to use all year round. I will say the project did take longer than expected, but many of the delays were related to general industry delays due to COVID. The finished project was well worth the delays

    Troon North - previously all river rock...  thanks Unique!

    We had a really good experience working with Unique and their team; they are professional, experienced, creative and reliable. Working with Unique we co-designed our backyard from what was only river rock, a small flagstone patio and a few citrus trees to exactly what we imagined it could be; adding an in ground spa / waterfall, fire pit, and BBQ area with a built in gas grill and room for the Big Green Egg tied together with expanded flagstone. Unique also helped provide the plans to our HOA for review and approval, not always so easy. All in all a really good experience and their people are very talented and hard working. Another reason for 5 stars is follow up; there are always a few questions after the fact but Unique responded quickly and took care of a few misses (such as adding an outlet to the BBQ stand) We love the backyard and recommend you consider Unique for your projects!

    Outdoor kitchen/bar

    We could not be happier with the outdoor kitchen/bar area. Unique Landscapes by Griffin was so proactive in their approach to what would work best in our backyard. Not only was the quality of the work top notch, the work was completed on time and on budget. We would never hesitate for a moment to recommend Landscapes by Griffin for any landscape needs. Custom design Hardscape Landscape Lighting Mist system Outdoor sound system Artificial turf Only the best!

    We did a major backyard remodel with Unique landscapes on an acre lot. Chris is an "upfront and get things done" type of a personallity, but not pushy. We had quite a few changes during the build and Chris never gave us a hard time. He just got them done. His pricing is very fair and we had people working constantly for 6 months. The job was completed about 4 months ago. Since then we had a few minor issues (grill burner broke and a plant died) Chris was just as responsive to fix this problems as he was during the build. I could not be happier with my experinces and would be happy to share them with anyone who would like to know more about our remodel.

    I was looking for someone to trim the palm trees at a house I recently moved into. I've never…read moreneeded someone to do this before, so had Yelp send out a few requests for me. July AZ got back to me quickly with an actual quote (a fair price, based on the photo I sent) - plus they were available the next day. They showed up in the time window they mentioned, got the job done quickly, and removed the trimming waste from the yard. They made the whole process so easy, and I'd definitely recommend the company. And it was certainly better than trying to do it myself.

    I reached out to July AZ Landscaping through Yelp to get a quote for trimming my pineapple palm…read moretree, and the responsiveness alone immediately stood out. From the time I sent the message to the time he was in my backyard giving me an estimate was less than 15 minutes. That level of promptness is rare and set the tone right away. The price quoted was fair and reasonable, with no pressure or upselling. He mentioned the work could be done after his crew took a lunch break, and sure enough, about an hour later his team showed up exactly as promised. The crew was professional, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing. They worked efficiently, took care of the tree, and had everything cleaned up in about 15 minutes. The end result looked great--exactly what I was hoping for. Overall, this was one of the smoothest and most straightforward service experiences I've had. Fast response, fair pricing, and quality work. I would absolutely use July AZ Landscaping again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Choosing the…read morebest landscaping company, comparing quality, timeliness of completion, and price can be a signifcant challenge as there are so many variables to handicap. We used JNK for a minor project two years ago, and Naji and the crew were superb: they showed up on time, worked diligently to finish the project in a professional manner, and brought a remarkable attention to detail to their work. Therefore, we chose them again for this much larger project, and I'm pleased to say they exceeded our expectations in every way. Naji arrived to discuss the project, and based on our conversations with him, was well-prepared to discuss options. He is a deeply knowledgeable person who is personable, professional, and truly customer-focused. The crew showed up right on time, and the point person on the job, Joaquin, explained the process of removing sod and dirt and installing the pavers--over 1,000 of them. They hand-measured and hand-cut the pavers that created the circular mesa around each tree--they look exquisite. It was a crew of seven, who were perfectly coordinated, worked well together, and hustled to get the job done in the promised timeframe--one day, which astonished my wife and me. Because the job required cutting a number of pavers there was quite a bit of brick dust. After completion, Joaquin used the hose to meticulously spray off all of our trees, shrubs, and all of the rock, to make it look pristine--that's going the extra mile! You can evaluate other companies, but if you want exceptional quality, attention to detail, honesty, and integrity, I recommend JNK without exception or qualification. Naji will take good care of you!

I am sure there are other great landscaping businesses out there, but the reviews were key for me - I had nothing else to go by, since we haven't used any landscaping services. Reviews were accurate. Service-communication: very good. My main contact was James. Took a lot of time with us. We were going from scratch, so it took a while for us to figure out what we wanted. Plus, had to get HOA approval for a pergola - never fun, but finally got through that. Second contact was Ali toward the end with the irrigation and plants. Easy to deal with. Once the contract was signed, they indicated 2-3 weeks to begin, and that was accurate. Supply delivery began about five days prior to commencing work. The initial crew wasted no time getting to work. They kept the premises clean. Everyone professional. Quality: All I can say, is so far so good! Nice paver work, Pergola looks great. Electrical all appears properly done. Turf looks great. We are very happy with the results. Everyone cleaned up after themselves. Delays: none of any consequence. Toward the end, had to wait for the pergola parts to arrive. About three weeks to complete entire job.

    This company is the best example of "You get what you pay for". We needed a driveway extension and…read morealso wanted our front porch and steps to match. We got 5 different quotes, and even though they came in higher than some, they do a great job of educating you on why, and they have all the receipts to back that up. We went with them for that peace of mind, the unmatched warranty, and knowing it would be done correctly and not falling apart in a couple years. They way they manage the entire project from the first to last step, is a constant reminder on why they are worth it. They run this ship like a well oiled machine! Every appointment was so professional, always on time, and always informative. From the very first appointment with Joe, he was so kind and personable and informative. He really treats the whole appointment like an educational session, and I understand why now. I was thankful for all the information, and how non-salesy he is, no pressure and just really comfortable and detailed as well. He provided very professional, detailed drawings and photos of what it would look like. When we met the project manager, Chris, he was just as friendly and personable and informative. He kept us updated at every step, and was on top of every detail. He always texted us updates, and very communicative. The crew they sent out - AMAZING. Not only did they get the job done in half the time, but their attention to detail was above and beyond! They were very friendly, and top notch on their work ethic. On the final clean up day, I was expecting maybe an hour of tidying up, but what I got was one extremely dedicated guy that spent 5 hours METICULOUSLY double checking every inch of my entire yard, even the areas that they did not work on. He cleaned every inch of our yard, the street, the driveway and even part of our neighbors! He held a level AGAIN at every section of the pavers and double checked it, and then he cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Every time I thought he was almost done, he'd come back with a new tool for more cleaning. Truly, I've never seen a crew work so hard and diligently and be so scrupulous with their attention to detail. You also get a portal to track the entire project, and to access all the warranty and contract docs that no one wants to file anyway. I would highly highly recommend System Pavers for any project, and we will absolutely use them again. Thank you!

    We chose System Pavers because they were the premium option. They were also the highest bid we…read morereceived (around $38,000), but we believed we were paying for quality, expertise, and project management. Their sales presentation was impressive, and we were told they would coordinate everything for our pool patio remodel. Unfortunately, our experience looked nothing like the polished videos we were shown. The project stretched from February 5 until May 14 and required constant homeowner involvement. Instead of having a project manager ensuring the work met quality standards, I felt like I became the project's quality-control inspector, inspecting every stage of construction, discovering mistakes, documenting issues, and asking for them to be corrected. I expected to hire a contractor. Instead, I spent three months acting as the quality-control inspector for my own project. During the project we dealt with broken pool pipes, damage to our pool aerator, fill tank, and underground plumbing, uncapped sprinkler lines beneath the patio, missing weed barriers, uneven pool coping, improper edging, damaged landscaping, and extensive construction debris left throughout our property and neighboring yards. In addition, several pieces of our personal property were damaged or destroyed, including a broken pool net, broken garden hoses, a seven-foot wooden shade post that workers used as a cutting surface, and a planter that was thrown away after crews moved retaining wall blocks to drive equipment through our yard. We also endured weeks of piles of pavers, dirt, rocks, and construction materials stacked in front of both our home and neighboring properties, along with plastic bottles, McDonald's bags, and other food waste left behind by crews. One thing that became obvious was the lack of communication between departments. The salesperson promised certain things that the installation crews clearly never knew about. For example, we specifically discussed reusing our landscape rock, but it was thrown away during demolition because that information never reached the crew. Customer service became increasingly frustrating. When we emailed management documenting workmanship concerns, we received little response regarding the actual problems but had no trouble receiving payment requests. During one phone call, the project manager told us, "We thought the ship had sailed on customer service." Hearing that after months of issues was incredibly disappointing. One issue that really damaged our trust involved the sprinkler system beneath the patio. When water started shooting through the middle of the new pavers, we were initially told the lines had definitely been capped and it must simply be leftover water. Once someone inspected the problem in person, the response became, "Oh, we must not have capped them." Because multiple pool components had already been damaged during demolition, I insisted on having the underground plumbing pressure tested before resurfacing the pool. That test found additional damage that required repair before the pool could be completed. Had we not pushed for that testing, the pool company told us hidden leaks could have remained beneath newly installed plaster. Near the end of the project, I refused to sign the Certificate of Completion until the remaining work was finished. I was initially told work would have to be delayed if I didn't sign first. After refusing, management then said they would finish the work regardless of my signature. That experience left me questioning why there was so much pressure to sign paperwork before the project was actually complete. To be fair, not everything was negative. The second project manager, Jose Corral, completely changed the direction of the project. He was knowledgeable, honest, respectful, and immediately recognized many of the quality issues that had been overlooked. He worked hard to make things right and deserves recognition because he was the one person who consistently treated us like valued customers. I understand that construction projects can have unexpected challenges. My frustration isn't that everything didn't go perfectly--it's that we paid premium pricing and repeatedly had to advocate for issues that should never have occurred in the first place. Looking back, I don't regret investing in our home--I regret having to spend three months acting as the quality-control inspector on a premium-priced project. Homeowners shouldn't have to monitor every phase of construction just to ensure the work is completed correctly. If you're considering System Pavers, keep detailed written records, photograph every phase of the project, inspect everything before it gets covered up, and don't sign completion paperwork until every punch-list item has been completed.
