We hired Desert Designer based on a very favorable recommendation from our family. We were not disappointed. They completed a major makeover of our front and back yards and did an excellent job. We were always kept aware of the plans and they even had some in process recommendations that were great! I highly recommend them and will use them again.

This is the third time I have used Desert Designer in the 12 years I have lived at my residence. Tom’s crews are professional, accommodating and all have an eye for detail. The work is absolutely amazing! My back and side yards are an oasis in this desert. Tom initially designed my front and back yard’s landscaping and installed both. About five years ago I added a side porch fireplace and pavers over the top and beyond the side porch. Quite recently I had them re-irrigate my entire back yard and added fresh granite. I love my back yard! Desert Designer has made this a place for me to relax

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Rude and terrible business. Owner needs a reality check.

This is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with. Complete backyard remodel and pool renovation. Quality work, professional dealings with the owner, Rob Plowright. Everything was on time, beautiful and exactly as it was drawn. We couldn't be happier. Most other contractors should take lessons from this company. Thanks Rob!

Tom and Desert Designer are awesome, creative and professional, but execution is everything and he delivers! Over 10 years ago our builder used him for the front yard and the curb appeal is one of the reason we ended up buying the home and then hired Tom to design and complete our backyard at the time, which we have loved. 10 years later we were ready for some upgrades and a refresh and used him again, he did not disappoint. Products and technology he uses today for lighting and irrigation are sweet, individual bulbs that you can change color with an app is pretty cool. Shout out to Tom’s team

We used this company for an extensive and expensive backyard renovation. This included a water feature and an adjoining wall. The water feature developed problems.....I asked them to help. It was out of warranty and they only offered a random fountain company as a possible source to repair. Worse, the design was faulty and now I have a large plumbing leak of some sort that is leaking into the flagstone and causing huge discoloration, but more importantly destroying the flagstone and the grout. I reached out again.....acknowledging it is out of warranty. All I want is someone to come out, tear up

Hired Rob in early summer and his design and attention to detail was clear from day one. He completely remodeled our patio, driveway and landscaping. Rob stayed on budget and his design added things we didn’t even consider including a very cool gas fireplace. Rob also stayed in budget to what he quoted and completed the job in the time stated. He also helped with small post demo follow ups I had. Thanks Rob!

Design is right in the name and that's what sets Rob and his team apart. They came up with a significantly better design than we could have imagined and much better than the other companies we tried to work with. You have to be diligent to review work and ask for little fixes, but no more than with any other good contractor. They were responsive in fixing everything to my satisfaction with an exceptional final product.
UPDATE: Had a small leak develop somehow... Rob and his team came out and fixed everything under warranty as promised at the onset. You can trust Rob from the beginning all the

When we purchased our home we had big plans to remodel our backyard. After speaking to several designers we decided to work with Rob Plowright from Desert Designers. He took all of our ideas and a bunch of his own to put a design together that turned out amazing. We needed someone who could work together with our pool company to ensure that everything was finished on time and on budget. Rob's team showed up on time and were there every day until the project was completed. I would recommend Rob and Desert Designers to anyone looking to transform their outdoor living space to something really special

This is the 3rd time I've hired Desert Designer to do a project for me (2 at previously owned homes). We completed a new build in May 2017 in Buckeye on bit of a hillside. I gave our designer, Cory, our inspirations for a zen backyard. It isn't a large yard and I wanted to create a calm relaxing space. Additionally, I wanted part of the yard to serve as a pollinator area for bees and butterflies. Cory came up with a fantastic solution. We went back and forth on a few of the details and he worked within our budget. The finished project is just as amazing as our prior projects. Thank you so much
