### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Kristen Marriner, April 2020**

> It took me a long time to hire this company, because I was sure I could make it myself. But for the amount of money that I paid they did an incredible job that I am happy to see everyday in my backyard. The pool and the garden were done in relatively short time.

**★★★★★ — Samantha Weller, April 2020**

> Creative Environments offers great customer service and quality work. I contracted them to install artificial turf around my property. While they were doing the work, they kept me updated on progress. The completed product looks amazing, way better than my old grass. I would definitely hire them for more projects in the future.

**★★★★★ — Tonya Henley, April 2020**

> A few houses on my street were landscaped by Creative. I was talking to a neighbor and they told me about the company and how affordable it is. I was surprised at how right were they when I called. I couldn't wait to get them out here updating my landscape. I am very happy with the results.

**★★★★★ — George Hernandez, March 2020**

> When I purchased my home, the garden was amazing, I guess I don't have a green thumb though. All the plants died. I hired creative to come in and give me plants that are easier to take care of. It looks so much better and more alive now.

**★★★★★ — Ben Siroka, March 2020**

> My backyard is the new spot for family barbecues thanks to Creative Environments. The work they did exceeding my expectations, I always get compliments on it. I can't help but recommend them to everyone I know

**★★★★★ — Evan Walker, March 2020**

> I purchased a home last year, the landscape was nice, but not exactly what i wanted. I found out Creative did the original design and decided to hire them to revamp it to what I wanted. They did a great job putting all my ideas on paper. When it came ti,e to do the work, they were in and out quickly. I love the new jazzed up look.

**★★★★★ — Deborah Mesia, March 2020**

> The crew that worked on our landscape was professional and skilled. They worked hard and got the job done quickly. Everything looks great.

**★★★★★ — Alexandria Ortiz, Feb. 2020**

> My backyard is small and cluttered. We hired Creative to come clear it out and make it more functional. They did an amazing job. It looks so much bigger now.

**★★★★★ — Kevin McDonald, Feb. 2020**

> Creative environments did an amazing job updating my landscape. We bought the house last year and have been discussing the landscape and what to do with it. Everything was dead and outdated. Creative came in and brought everything back to life. I love looking at it now

**★★★★★ — diane mullen, Jan. 2020**

> My friends compliment my yard every time they come and visit and I love it! They especially like the design of the backyard where we spend most of our time around the fire pit and having cookouts. Thanks creative.

**★★★★★ — Maddisyn Rolls, Jan. 2020**

> My backyard is pretty small, there isn't much space for activities or planting. I wasn't sure how to goabout transforming it, so I contacted Creative Environments. They did an amazing job coming up with a design that was elegant, functional and spacious.

**★★★★★ — Angie N. Weppler, Dec. 2019**

> Creative Environments completely transformed my small backyard into something that looks much bigger. The way they designed the yard makes it feel much bigger. The kids have room to play and I can still have plants to take care of. Great landscaping company!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where can I find the blue Chihuly-type glass art pieces?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Looks like real blown glass art by Chihuly!!!!

A: Laurent, could you please give us a call  (480) 777-9305 and we can assign a designer to you to get these questions answered! Thank you!

**Q: Finish of interior of pool?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is this WetEdge?  If so, what color and finish?
Thanks,
C

A: Thank you for your patience C. This is not WetEdge. Please give us a call at 480-777-9305 and we can help you with pool tile colors if you would like!

**Q: This is the color!  Last question, I promise : )** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please give me the exact color?  I have been trying to pick from the samples and looking at the photos on the WetEdge site but it has proven impossible.  If you can help me with this color, I would be very grateful!
You build beautiful pools!

A: cleigh2012 Just to clarify, are you looking for the water tile or the interior of the pool color?

**Q: Wet Edge color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thank you!

A: I am verifying the color and will get back to you as soon at it can be confirmed! Thank you for your patience!

**Q: Size?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the size of this patio?

A: Hello, Juliemarie1978! This backyard is roughly 1,500 square feet of pavers. There is also 185 square feet of block around it. If you have any further questions about who we are or what we do, do not hesitate to call! (480) 777-9305

**Q: Ideas for a landscape design...** *(in Landscape Design)*

I need help in designing something for our backyard...we had prepped areas to pour concrete wrapping it all around the house. But have now held off as not liking that it'll be dull plain concrete all around.  We have a huge yard, about 58x58...its a blank canvas. Would like some help in designing something practical, with texture and different elements that can be done in stages.  (ignore the mess please, and the rear of the yard no longer looks like that as our dogs have damaged almost all the shrubs...just posting to show lawn (24 x 58) & dirt area (about 21 x 58)

A: Check out some of our photos. We have worked on so many backyards so we have over 600 pictures of ideas!
