### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Sarah Roeschen McMahon, July 2026**

> We are very pleased with the work provided by Giardinello Landscape & Design. The material and plant selection process was smooth and enjoyable, and Annette was extremely helpful in guiding us toward the best choices for our space. The project was completed efficiently, and the crew maintained a clean and organized job site throughout. We would highly recommend their services.

**★★★★★ — Karen Harris, June 2026**

> I would highly recommend Giardinello Landscape & Design. From the moment we met Annette, until the end everything went smooth and efficient. Her and her team are very professional and always offered sound advise on our front and backyard project. We've had several compliments on our yard and couldn't be happier.

**★★★★★ — Brian McPherson, June 2026**

> Annette, Steve, and their team did a wonderful job with our landscaping project.  They went out of their way to make sure we got exactly what we needed.  I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for a first-class design experience!

**★★★★★ — mtkitchen17, Jan. 2026**

> Wow,  there’s a lot to say all amazing.  From beginning to end working with Annette and the whole team was a pleasure.  There was never a disappointment.  They created a perfect dream for us!  Every detail was thoughtfully done including the exact angle of the boulders and picking out each plant.  They always answered every email or call never difficult to get a hold of.  If you want a dream and no worries they are amazing!

**★★★★★ — Liz Sarrubbo, Dec. 2025**

> There were four things that I had hoped to have accomplished with the landscape of our new home: lots of color, curvy lines, conversation spots, and work within our budget.  Giardinello Landscape knocked it out of the park on all accounts.  They were able to take a blank dirt landscape and transform it into a colorful. enticing, private and peaceful oasis.
>
> Annette's keen design and depth of experience with Arizona plant life assured us that she would help us select the right plants to enable the vision come to life. Several of our neighbors have mentioned how beautiful our landscaping is with so much color and variation.
>
> Really pleased with how the entire project turned out!  We enjoy our space everyday and our grateful to have our little piece of heaven right here at home.
>
> If you are looking for expertise, design flair, and reasonable pricing definitely reach out to Giardinello Landscape & Design!

**★★★★★ — Kristin Altendorf, Dec. 2025**

> Annette and her husband Steve are OUTSTANDING!
> We did an entire yard from 2000 miles away with no knowledge about an arid climate. They were extremely response-same day messages-always. Annette listened to my vision and contributed with thoughts, pros and cons. She held my flower pots I ordered for a year until we could begin the process. She made invaluable suggestions on types of stone to use and not use and saved us from making poor choices in color/veining etc. Anytime I had an idea she welcomed it. When the pool company was not keeping us informed and not working with Annette -she would step in and get the schedule and coordinate timing with the pool company. We needed someone to keep an eye on what was being done and she kept us informed!  Sooo appreciated !
> She picked great plants from my dream list and explained why some may not work well and offered solutions. The project turned out better than we expected!  And any question I have is still responded to so quickly!  Annette’s energy and enthusiasm, was uplifting and made for a great fun experience! She made us feel like her only client and we know that wasn’t true. So many people have used Annette in our community and all have had an outstanding experience!
> Thank you Annette & Steve!

**★★★★★ — mike smith, Dec. 2025**

> Giardinello Landscaping has had a significant presence in the Trilogy Verde River community for many years and has developed a reputation for quality landscape design and installation.  Working with the principle players including Annette, Steve and Cole, along with their skilled installers and hard working crew, insured that our project was competed in a relatively short period of time in comparison to other landscaping projects in our neighborhood, all according to the original design plans, with the end result totally in line with our expectations, and we are not easy to please!
> Bottom line, we are thrilled with the finished product and would recommend Giardinello Landscaping for your design and landscaping needs.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Holzkopf, Dec. 2025**

> Giardinello Landscape & Design is truly exceptional! Annette, Steve and their team are friendly, creative, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They took the time to understand our vision for our desert landscape and brought it to life with thoughtful, innovative design ideas we never would have imagined on our own.
> Beyond their creativity, they are incredibly reliable and trustworthy — qualities that can be hard to find. They show up when they say they will, communicate clearly, and complete projects on time with great attention to detail.
> If you’re looking for a landscaping company that delivers beautiful results and a seamless, stress-free experience, Giardinello Landscape is the one. Highly recommended!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Snyder, Dec. 2025**

> Annette and Steve oversee a fantastic landscape and design company! They were easy to communicate with and the design that Annette created exceeded the expectations! We are so pleased with how everything turned out! I also enjoyed going with Annette to pick out all the plants and cacti. That was fun! Well done Annette and Steve!

**★★★★★ — Carol Walch, June 2024**

> Annette has been great to work with through the entire process of hardscape/landscape of our newly built home.  She has great ideas, beautiful artistic design sense and years of desert plant experience. We always felt listened to and encouraged to come up with a plan that surpassed our expectations.  Steve and their installation crew were also top notch.  We are very happy with our end result.

**★★★★★ — Tim R, June 2024**

> We opted for Giardinello Landscape and Design to beautify our new home in Trilogy Rio Verde, and it was a decision we're thrilled about. From the initial consultation with Annette to the project's completion, everything unfolded seamlessly. Annette skillfully translated our vision into a stunning design. During our visit to the nursery, we handpicked the plants and trees that now decorate our landscape, guided by Annette's wealth of knowledge on low-maintenance foliage. The installation team executed the project flawlessly, and Steve ensured our lot's drainage was properly configured. Their commitment to excellence extends beyond installation; their diligent plant monitoring and adjustments to the watering schedule, during the first year, based on temperature fluctuations, demonstrate their ongoing care and expertise. We couldn't be happier with the results

**★★★★★ — Jody Gilkison, June 2024**

> Our experience with Annette, Steve and their team was nothing less than outstanding!  From our first contact to the completion of our project we've been completely satisfied.  Annette's attention to detail on design and plant selection was so helpful, as we were not familiar with AZ landscaping.  The installation process went smoothly and without issue.  We've received so many compliments from our neighbors and friends, many who wish they would have selected Giardinello Landscape & Design for their project!
