### Reviews

**★★★★★ — John Regalski, July 2023**

> We highly recommend Kaibab Landscaping. We have a unique situation in that there is no access to our backyard other than through our townhouse. Because of this, the landscapers that we contacted either were not interested or offered "window dressing"- type ideas which would not change the character of the dirt pile that we were viewing from the inside of our home. Upon contacting Hugh, he said that he would work with us to transform the space into something that we would enjoy. He said that transporting materials and equipment through the house was not optimal, however would not restrict him from creating a welcoming environment. Along with Courtney, his designer, and Raoul, his foreman, they put in place a plan that was very desirable. Additionally, modifications and unexpected obstacles were addressed on the fly without issue. Also, after five full days of constant transport of wheelbarrows and heavy equipment being moved through the house from front to back to front, there was not one single scrape to repair (whew!). The first neighbor to visit after the completion of the project asked for his number because she was impressed with the workmanship and wanted him to come up with something for her yard.

**★★★★★ — SUE Frome, Sept. 2022**

> Spectacular.  Just spectacular!!  We knew 15 minutes after meeting Hugh that Kaibab Landscaping was the company we wanted to create a beautiful front and back yard mountain paradise for our new home in Flagstaff.  Hugh and his team “delivered,” taking a challenging sloped lot and transforming it into a colorful, inviting, very functional, gorgeous and relaxing space.  With Hugh’s creative genius, Kaibab surpassed our expectations, adding unique touches all the way to the end.  Hugh and Company are professional, easy to communicate with and (dare I say), fun!  We could not be happier and we are clients for life.  Thank you, Hugh, Moises and crew!

**★★★★★ — M & J Smith, July 2022**

> AMAZING TEAM of PROFESSIONALS!!!!! I’m beyond grateful for KIABAB LANDSCAPING! Hugh and his  team of true craftsmen transformed our property into a serene and tranquil setting with an old-world stone wall, subdue lighting, massive contemplation bench, gentle meandering pathways amidst the existing tall Ponderosa pines, precisely determined flowering plants & gorgeous indigenous trees (hand picked & placed by Hugh’s team). The professional craftsmen worked 5 days a week from nearly sun up to sun down hardly breaking for lunch for a solid 2 months until everything was exactly as we wanted. (Even when we didn’t know what we wanted). The men even graciously gifted us with a surprise niche I’d discus as a remote idea. Perhaps equally profound, KIABAB did this project for over a third less than we had been originally quoted by competing bids. (However,
> (jokingly) Hugh did offer to “throw-in” a Lexus if we were determined to over pay).  We were asked weekly as to wether or not KIABAB LANDSCAPING was exceeding our expectations. It was and it still does.  THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! Forgive me for how long it has taken to complete this review, no excuse. We enjoy our property every single day and are still in awe of the beauty you created. Thank you, again & again! M&J Smith

**★★★★★ — Jenni Hounslow, Nov. 2020**

> I would recommend Hugh and his team to anyone who is looking for a professional landscaper.   They did an amazing job transforming our front and back garden.   They put in beautiful Flagstone paths and steps.  Dug up and levelled the back patio and front driveway. Moved and rebuilt a new fire pit with huge slabs of rock as benches.  The flower borders are beautifully done with boulders placed artfully.    They even made our doggy area attractive.   No job was too difficult.   We are so happy with the finished result.

**★★★★★ — Christine Leverington, Sept. 2020**

> Kaibab Landscaping provides an amazing landscaping service for Flagstaff, AZ.  My husband and I moved to Flagstaff four years ago.  I loved the scenic displays of rock formations in the mountains, hills, and much of the open areas around Flagstaff.
> When we built our new home, Kaibab Landscaping was the perfect choice for landscaping for many reasons.  Kaibab Landscaping used many tons of the local "Malapai" rock which created an exquisite display of beautiful rocks for the structure needed to hold back the falling dirt.  I love rock formulations and what a joy to have this in my landscaping.
> Kaibab Landscaping provided an creative and rustic rock drainage system required by the city of Flagstaff to meet the code requirements.
> The rocks, plants, drip system, and landscape lighting created a picture perfect landscape for our new home.
> Enthusiastically, I give Kaibab Landscaping a five star rating.  If you are seeking landscaping services, I encourage you to contact Kaibab Landscaping as you will be impressed by the professional, competent, and friendly costumer service.     Christine from Flagstaff, AZ

**★★★★★ — Jill Butler, June 2020**

> Kaibab Landscaping recently finished an installation at our new Mountain house in Flagstaff. The home is a new build so an open palette for the creativity offered by Hugh Pressman and his team. We were confident from our first meeting with Hugh that he would deliver quality work and professionalism. He had a vision for our property and a plan was drawn up and submitted to the HOA. The guys were here right on time and worked hard for 2 weeks to transform our yard into an impressive and easily maintained piece of art. The foreman, Raul, is AMAZING! He is not only a working wonder but possesses great integrity as well as creativity & communication skills. The entire crew exhibited respect for us, as well as one another. They were a well oiled machine. Tremendous boulders were brought in by the truckloads to create walls and planters. Lighting was done to add ambiance, and plants/trees were chosen thoughtfully to reflect their environment. Kaibab Landscaping is QUALITY in every way! Thank you guys! We are thrilled with the results!

**★★★★★ — HU-939472395, Nov. 2019**

> Hugh and crew took a blank canvas and turned my front entryway into a magazine worthy entrance.  The stacked rock walls are fabulous!  They created an inviting patio area that boasts natural rock seating with interlocking pavers, large flagstone steps and a built in rock drink cooler. We love it!!

**★★★★★ — HU-749041643, Aug. 2019**

> Kaibab Landscaping has a very experienced and friendly crew! We are very happy with the outcome of our back yard patio project! Hugh and Uriel took a lot of time and care to make sure we we received a high quality service and that the project would embody our design ideas accurately. The materials they incorporate are all beautiful and their attention to detail is excellent.

**★★★★★ — Andrew Sundell, July 2019**

> Hugh is a Master at his craft!
> I highly recommend using Kaibab Landscaping.
> You will not be disappointed.
> His crew is polite, and great to work with.

**★★★★★ — T Brandon, June 2019**

> I hired Kaibab Landscaping to complete a back yard project consisting of a paver patio and custom BBQ area. I was very pleased with the speed in which I was able to meet with the owner, Hugh Pressman, obtain a written proposal (within 24 hours) and start the project after signing the contract. As for the work, I was nothing but pleased with the exceptional workmanship and work ethic of the project crew. The project foreman was Uriel Rodriguez, who I found to be very easy to work with. He was very professional at all times and always receptive to discuss ideas and changes as the project progressed. Uriel seemed to always have my best interest in mind and went out of his way to make sure I was pleased with the final outcome. Uriel and his crew are hard working and professional at all times. i give them an A+ rating.

**★★★★★ — Rob Richards, June 2019**

> We hired Hugh and his team, Kaibab Landscaping to re-do our front yard for our vacation home in Flagstaff, Arizona. We gave him some rough concepts but also gave him some free rein to utilize his experience. The yard is huge and was weedy and thin grass that we wanted to xeriscape. Hugh brought in boulders and created mounds with plants that will thrive in Flagstaff and created a warm, natural look. We were very pleased with the results and the schedule that was promised.

**★★★★★ — Anne Phillips, June 2019**

> We could not be more delighted with the result of our backyard landscaping project. The incredible work of Kaibab Landscaping far exceeded our very high expectations. My husband and I had a vision for our backyard that we had imagined and planned for over 10 years. My  husband had meticulously drawn up plans over the years. in a nutshell, Hugh Pressman and Raul and his crew far surpassed what we had imagined. Kaibab Landscaping took our vision for our backyard and made it an amazingly unique patio space including pavers outlined with a malapai rock wall. Large sandstone and malapai rock was artistically set to perfection to create the oasis that is now our backyard. They placed a very large sandstone slab strategically facing our view of the peaks, and it will forever be my favorite spot. Lights softly illuminate the sandstone bench at night. It is the perfect place to enjoy our night sky.
>
> Every time we walked into our backyard after a day of  very hard work accomplished by this crew, it was a delight to see how our vision became an increasingly spectacular reality. They went above and beyond to do the very best work incorporating the very best quality of resources. Their recommendation on p!ants and placement of them was phenomenal.
>
> The Kaibab Landscaping team listened to our concerns regarding drainage on our sloped yard and solved all drainage issues. They dealt with huge challenges regarding our 2019 weather, and despite crazy blizzard conditions at times persevered and completed their work cheerfully within the timeline and budget specified. We absolutely recommend them, and give them our very highest praise.
