We found Allen after having worked with two landscape designers with varying degrees of satisfaction. Allen's level of professionalism, attentiveness to our tastes, and responsiveness has made him a total joy (and breeze) to work with. As first-time renovators, Allen was eternally patient in answering our questions, he a provided clear and direct explanation of his process and what we can expect from contractors, and was able to help us make quick and easy trade-offs in the design. In the end, we are thrilled with our designs and excited to begin our contracting. Photos to come! **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Anne, > Thank you so much for your review. It has been a pleasure to be your designer! I cant wait for your project to go from concept to reality! ### All 22 reviews **★★★★★ — andycoan, July 2026** > Allen produced a beautiful and ingenious design for our tricky, multi-level backyard and pool deck, including landscaping, lighting, shade structure, pool refinishing and lagoon, built-in seating, deck expansion, and more. He was a pleasure to work with -- clear, patient with questions, and full of ideas. His rates are also very competitive. We would gladly hire him for another project. **★★★★★ — Susie Sarkar, Jan. 2026** > We had our front yard and backyard renovated. > Allen is very professional. He did a wonderful design that fit our budget. He was very patient with us through the design changes and modifications. He also helped us through our HOA approval process. > I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to my friends. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > We appreciate the review and are excited to see the final product! **★★★★★ — Teri Colmar, Oct. 2025** > Allen really understood the vision we had for our front yard design. He listened to our ideas and guidelines for the project. Together we fine tuned them after the first draft. Once the plans were finalized he referred us to one of his sources to implement the design. We are now in the process of beginning the project. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Fantastic hillside transformation in Oro Valley! We are so appreciative for the kind words in this review. Cant wait to see these plants grow in a bit! **★★★★★ — HU-887356693, May 2025** > We recently conducted a makeover of our 30 year backyard. We used Denomy as the designer and would highly recommend them for projects. Allen was great to work with, he has extensive experience in yards w/pools, a great customer base, competitively priced, access to contractors, and is timely in deliverables. We trusted in his ability to give us a great design and he delivered. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Thank you so much for the detailed and positive feedback! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are thrilled to hear how satisfied you are with the outcome of your project. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're glad to be your design team! **★★★★★ — Laura Valaer, June 2024** > Our project was a large yard around a newly built home. Allen started off the process with a visit to the homesite with us. We discussed at a high level how we wanted to live in and utilize our yard. During the remainder of the design phase, we were remote. Even though we were remote, Allen continually worked closely with us to identify the key components of the landscape we desired. He then used his in-depth knowledge of local plants, animals, Arizona weather and architecture to produce a landscape design. > The end product is one that we love, as Allen not only captured the essence of how we wanted to live in our yard, but also how we wanted to feel while experiencing the space day and night. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Thank you so much for the amazing review! It was a pleasure working with you and creating a space for you to enjoy! It came out beautiful! **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2020** > Denomy Designs was perfect! We initially contacted Allen because he has experience with unique design elements such as rammed earth. We are not in their local area, so all design work was accomplished remotely. Allen was very thorough, creative, and knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to our ideas and answer any questions we had. Highly recommend Denomy Designs to anyone looking for a unique and mindful landscape design. We now have what we need to execute a beautiful and sustainable landscape with the builder/installer of our choice. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > What a wonderful review. Thank you! We appreciate working with you guys greatly to accomplish such a unique design! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Bincarowsky, Jan. 2020** > Allen, completed a design for our partially started back yard. He worked with our landscaper, concrete company and metal workers to make the existing elements work in a cohesive contemporary setting. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for the review. I'm excited to see it come to life!!! **★★★★★ — Emily Torrez, Nov. 2019** > My husband and I worked with Allen to design our backyard (through Sonoran Gardens). We were so impressed with Allen’s creativity and attention to detail. His designs were beautiful and the technology he used helped us visualize what the backyard would actually look like. He listened to our feedback and provided us with a lot of choices on the actual design, as well as materials, plants, etc. so we felt our backyard was personalized to our tastes. > We are so thrilled with how our backyard turned out and would not hesitate to hire Allen again for our future design projects! **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hi Emily!, > Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the kind words and are delighted you are happy with your new space! Now grow plants, grow. :) **★★★★★ — Rebecca Dawson, Aug. 2019** > Allen was recommended to us by a neighbor. He did great work for them, and he also did a beautiful design for us. We get comments on our yard now. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hi Rebecca, > Thank you for the review! I'm curious to hear how well the water mitigation design is working out for you guys. Feel free to reach out. **★★★★★ — Rocky & Laura-Jean DiChristofano, July 2019** > My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Alan to design a new Tuscan style backyard kitchen and bar area for our home in Tucson Arizona. We found Alan to be an absolute joy to work with and the results were just outstanding! He was very creative giving us multiple design options and he worked with us to achieve the best result possible. He was also willing to make changes as we went along to enhance our design and budget as needed. We highly recommend Alan and will recommend him to all of our friends and family! **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hi there Rocky, > Thank you for such a nice review. Laura-Jean and yourself were such perfect clients. It was a pleasure designing your outdoor kitchen and bar area. I just love the way it works in your space so warm and inviting! **★★★★★ — HU-920296856, March 2019** > Allen had a great design concept for our Marana, AZ home. He listened to what we wanted and came up with a great plan. Because I had a portal with a curve he did a great job coordinating features like a curved stone wall on either side of the portal, a rounded walk right in front It. He came up with a fantastic huge set of curved trellises.for the side backyard. Allen submitted our yard for the AlCA contest and won a Judge’s award. **★★★★★ — J. Peterson, March 2019** > We hired Allen Denomy to help us with the remodel of our pool and patio area.

It was a pleasure working with you guys on your design! **★★★★★ — Ryan Johnson, Dec. 2018** > We hired Allen to design an outdoor kitchen and patio area for our home in Tucson. We could not have been happier with the result! From the design which was beautiful and functional to him going the extra mile by meeting us one afternoon at the store to help pick out tile, Allen is wonderful at what he does and to work with. We would highly recommend him! **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Ryan, > I had a great time being your designer! Loved how smooth everything went when faced with all of the typical design challenges. Thank you for this review! **★★★★★ — Janette Dunavant, Nov. 2018** > I contacted Allen with Denomy Designs in August of this year to create a landscape design for our back yard. He was very responsive and was able to meet with me within one day. He had a blank slate when it came to our backyard and I was impressed with his immediate ideas on-site. I hired him to come up with a design and within 10 days he came back to us with an amazing preliminary drawing. I was so impressed with his creativity, his knowledge and his design ideas. He listened to my ideas and incorporated them into the plans as well. > > We are currently in the installation stage; I can't wait to see the final outcome. He is very eager to work with our landscape contractor and is willing to answer questions we have regarding the plans and installation. > > I would not hesitate to recommend Denomy Designs if you want a unique and creative design. Allen is amazing! **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Thank you Janette! Such a kind review. So excited to see the plan come to life! **★★★★★ — Judy Troyer, July 2018** > Allen is helpful, knowledgeable, and professional in his approach to landscape design. We were wanting to upgrade our yard, and he provided wonderful ideas that resulted in exactly what we wanted in our environment. He listened to our budget constraints and maximized our ability to structure our plants and anchoring items without once trying to "upsell" us beyond our budget. His recommendations for plantings are absolutely on target. He works with contractors who are also highly professional to insure his paper designs become reality. He has my lasting appreciation for what he did for us, and our highest recommendation. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hello Judy, > I appreciate this thoughtful review! I'm so happy to hear that you are pleased with the final install. I look forward to seeing how the landscape grows and fills in. **★★★★★ — Ben Korn, June 2018** > Allen Denomy did a fantastic job designing our entire backyard. He was extremely thoughtful and responsive and thorough throughout the process. The design was a perfect fit and compliment to the feel and shapes in the rest of our home **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Mr. Korn, > Thank you for this review. I'm so glad to hear how pleased you are with your design! The design process was such a joy. Your homes architecture is very unique and the new outdoor living areas will create such a dynamic relationship. **★★★★★ — Douglas Belzer, June 2018** > Very creative, easy to work with, fun sense of humor and will accommodate budget restrictions and/or options to reduce cost. What more could you ask for in an architect? **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Mr. Belzer, > Thank you so much for this review. It was incredibly fun working with you on your design! I enjoyed the creative freedom immensely. Your water feature/trellis/wall is still today one of my favorite concepts turned into reality. **★★★★★ — Dove Mountain Homes, June 2018** > I have had the good fortune to work with Allen Denomy on a variety of projects both large and medium-sized. Allen is a very talented landscape and pool designer. If you want to create an amazing outdoor environment, I highly recommend working with him. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > I appreciate the kind review immensely! It has been an honor to work with you and your team on some of Marana’s most luxurious outdoor living environments. **★★★★★ — Remington Stickney, June 2018** > Allen is wonderful. He turned an idea into reality with his design of our backyard. He was willing to work with our modest budget to get everything that we wanted (I can't say that for every landscape designer we contacted). He was very professional, honest with our expectations, and quick. He came and did a backyard inspection and that evening we had a rough draft outlining ideas for the space. As the designing went along he also gave us 3D renderings of the space to help us visualize the end product. I can't say enough good things about him. **Comment from Denomy Designs:** > Hello and thank you! It was a pleasure to help bring your ideas into reality. We had so much fun taking an artistic approach with your unique design challenges! **★★★★★ — Laura Tagsold, May 2018** > I had the opportunity to work with Allen on 2 occasions. The first time was when I was building my house and wanted him to design my patio and landscaping. The patio area was small but he used every inch of the space so wisely that it actually seems large now. My landscaping was exactly what I wanted too! Planters, plants and lighting fit in and blend so well with the environment and is very pleasing to the eye. > Once I saw how nice his design worked for our house my husband and I asked him to come back and add more plants and lighting and more trees because everything looked so good it made us want more. He once again surprised us! His creativity and knowledge of plants and vision of what we wanted turned out amazing. He clearly listens to his clients and turns your vision into reality. Thank you Allen for making our outside living area a dream come true! ## Selected projects - [Sunset Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-ridge-pj-vj~6612043) - Location: Marana, AZ - Photos: 40 - Description: Over looking the city lights and Tortilla Mountains, this blank space needed a wow factor to match its surrounding views. A large rectangle pool was the focal point of choice as it created a feel of space and cool tones. The synthetic turf surrounding the pool allowed a oasis vibe, plus interesting texture as it is between cement slabs as well. A simple outdoor kitchen was put in that over looks the city views. A custom fire pit was created for relaxation and to watch the sun set. - [Prospect-Refuge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prospect-refuge-pj-vj~5543178) - Location: Marana, AZ - Photos: 8 - Description: This design process started with a site overlooking the large golf course pond, as well as the Tortolita mountain range.

We started by removing all unwanted materials. Then we went on to program the yard in a much more functional way by adding a raised planter/water feature wall as our focal background.

An arched fireplace anchored the patio corner as well as blocked even more of the harsh sun. The hardscape + pool coping had to be updated so a colored concrete paver, and natural stone was implemented for color and texture. Once the old pool fencing was removed, we were able to design in something much more artistic.

All the hardscape was removed except for the existing dark brown saltillo tiles, which we were luckily able to source, in order to fill in areas we needed. We trimmed up hardscape were it wasn’t needed but expanded where it could be. Which resulted in a much more useable space! We enhanced the performance of the shade structure by switching materials from high-maintenance wood to al… - [Sonoran Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sonoran-style-pj-vj~273260) - Location: Tucson, AZ - Photos: 13 - Description: This unique design was created to draw others into different spaces in the yard.

We do like them, however. A: yes that is all correct. when we get freezing temperatures it is beneficial to cover the tips of each columnar cacti as they are sensitive and potentially can die from the tip. it won't kill the plant but potentially can cause some damage. a common protector used are styrofoam cups. **Q: how it works and what is the type of gas can be used** *(in Photo Questions)* A: soooo cool! good job --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
