Our backyard used to be beautiful, but over time, issues like tree roots, aging, and general wear and tear began to show. After attending the AZ home show in Scottsdale for ideas on replacing our failing turf, we were fortunate to meet Clayton Rivard. Despite receiving several quotes after the show, we had a strong inclination towards Clayton right from the start. After careful consideration, he stood out among the rest. While others proposed different approaches to our challenges, Clayton confidently assured us that he could handle everything—and indeed, he did. We contracted him for a comprehensive overhaul: pool deck, new travertine, lighting, new irrigation, plants, and the turf itself. Such projects are notoriously complex, but what impressed us most was Clayton's communication. He set clear expectations and timelines from the outset. Everything arrived on schedule, materials were ordered efficiently, and the work progressed seamlessly. His team, led by supervisor Chris, was exceptional—especially considering the scorching Arizona heat. They were punctual, friendly, and incredibly hardworking. It's rare to find a project that doesn't require constant oversight, but Clayton managed everything. Beyond his professional approach, Clayton's personal integrity shines through. He's genuinely one of the nicest individuals we've ever had the pleasure of working with. In particular, when my husband was called away on an emergency, Clayton even offered assistance with tasks outside the project scope, simply to lend a hand. If you're seeking a top-notch contractor who delivers quality without the stress, Clayton and his team at Desert Escapes Landscaping are your best choice.
We recently had Desert Escapes Landscaping install turf in our back yard and highly recommend! Clayton provide several turf options for us to choose from and didn't try to push the high price point options. When he came out to quote the job he was professional and polite. He and his crew were courteous and hard-working and completed the project quickly.
Clayton, with Desert Escapes helped me turn my rear yard into a personal resort/oasis. I could not be more satisfied with the work he has done for me. I’ll just let the photos do the talking. If you like the work he did for me, do yourself a favor and contact Desert Escapes and get on his waiting list.
We are very pleased with Desert Escapes Landscaping, LLC. We have a large yard with a ton of pavers and they look absolutely amazing. Clayton was very flexible and patient when we changed our mind or if a product was hard to find due to Covid. He always checked in with us to see if we were happy with the progress and yard and even threw in a few great ideas that we would have never thought of ourselves. We have already recommended Desert Escapes Landscaping to many friend and family. Thank you Clayton!
Desert Escapes is a great company for your next landscaping project. This is our second project and we couldn’t be happier with the process and the finished product (front yard turf and paver drive). All of our neighbors have stopped to comment on how great our yard looks. Don’t hesitate to do business with Desert Escapes!
