We have used Desert Designer for 3 different projects over the past 2 years. Initially we needed to submit a landscaping plan to the HOA within 30 days of move in, for a newly built home. My husband contacted Charlie at Desert Designer, who was able to capture our vision of what we were looking for and drew up a plan for the front yard, courtyard area, and backyard.
Due to financial constraints we started with only the front and courtyard. 6 months later we did most of the backyard. One thing I wanted was an outdoor fireplace, but we didn't have the finances for that at the time, so they did the rest of the backyard, and included a patio area where the fireplace would later be situated.
We completed the fireplace this weekend.
Charlie has been easy to work with and accommodated all our requests and changes quickly. A minor problem with an outdoor fountain was quickly fixed. All the men on the crews were great too, and cleaned up well. They even went out of their way and raked back gravel that someone else had moved to dig a trench for a gas line (not part of Desert Designer's crew that dug the trench and then left it).
After almost 2 years the irrigation system and lighting is still working fine and we love our yard.
