My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I cannot recommend Allen highly enough! 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!

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.

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!

Commented: OK for Tucsonyes 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...
