CF Design came highly recommended by a friend. Absolutely thrilled we used him for our extensive remodel planning. He brought us ideas that wouldn't have even crossed our minds and the house design is stunning because of it. To top it off he was extremely helpful in dealing with the permit process and working with our subcontractors. 5/5 would recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — lorimarievail, Sept. 2016** > After interviewing several firms we decided to hire Dave Creech as our Landscape Architect. Our lot is on a challenging hillside and came with many restrictions. Dave got to know our lot and needs then devised a plan to execute. His design services were soup to nuts, from driveway entrance to end of pool view including courtyard and fire-pit. He was generous with his time, knowledgeable and highly competent. Dave’s excellent communication skills and construction documents helped us navigate team meetings with ease (builder, architect, engineer and design review). What Dave brings to the table is a perfect 10. We couldn’t have experienced a more well-rounded implementation. We plan to use Dave as the project continues for important tree/boulder selection and placement. Thank you Dave! > Lori and Greg Vail, Desert Mountain Scottsdale Arizona **★★★★★ — Rains Design, May 2013** > I have utilized CF Design on approximately 30 projects over the last 10 years. David's work ethic and creativity has given him an enviable reputation within the building community as a top-tier landscape designer. His ability to work on various styles has proven to be a great asset for my company. > I would not hesitate to recommend CF Design. ## Selected projects - [Phoenix Family Pool Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/phoenix-family-pool-remodel-pj-vj~6367814) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 12 - Description: Existing older pool with faux-boulder feature was removed and this new, proposed, more contemporary pool/ramada family play area will be installed.
