David and the crew did a great job on removing raised beds, adding pave walkway and tree wells, lots of trimming and general clean-up. Have enjoyed the changes.

Creative outdoors built a 6ft high versalock retaining wall in my rear yard to extend it, they did a professional job with the backfill and matting to secure the retention and was done in a very short period of time at a reasonable cost, we are very happy with the outcome and the additional room we gained in the yard, I have known David and his crew for many years and would definitely recommend his services, they know how to do things correctly with no shortcuts.
Thank you creative outdoors.

Creative Outdoors shows up, gets the job done right, listens to you, and follows up. They recently did a difficult rear patio paver job. They performed the work perfectly in spite of the steep driveway and hard to access work site. They follow up and make sure you are happy with the quality of their work. They have been in business locally for many years. They won't disappoint.

Pavers installed, replacing our cracked concrete driveway, plus the same on our front porch, plus adding a handrail to some steps that ran down a short but steep slope. We're very happy with the outcome. Surprisingly fast from start to finish. Many compliments from the neighbors.

Creative Outdoors is a fantastic company, in every way. Prior to calling them, we tried to call 3 other companies; either they just didn't show up, or never called back after the initial consult.

Not only did David call back, he continued to come back, and oversee the project every step of the way. He asked questions, listened to our feedback, and gave expert advice when we didn't know what to do. He's truly a craftsman, with a good eye for backyard and landscape planning. He also has a lot of knowledge about plants, where they live, what grows well, etc. And the crew is extremely professional and does a great job.

The more amazing part is - this company does it ALL! Hardscaping, landscaping, tree cutting & removal, transplanting trees, turf, etc - and they do it ALL, and they do it WELL! My neighbors were shocked to find out the SAME company, did all the different areas around our house - they said they've needed 3-4 different companies to do the different jobs.
And our fig-trees are thriving after transplant, so they know what they are doing!

We are so happy with our new backyard, side yard, front yard - it's even better than we expected! I highly recommend Creative Outdoors!

We were very impressed with the quality of their Paver crew! Excellent work and fair price! The crew were professional, friendly, and they always arrived, at the time they told us. Thank you!

Creative Outdoors is the best there is! David and team know what they're doing and have so much experience in ideating, planning and executing on building out creative outdoor spaces. They are reliable and will get the job done within the timeframe you discussed, or manage your expectations accordingly. We have been working with different contractors for our remodeling project and these guys inspire confidence and trust. They communicate well and have a lot of integrity in the work they are delivering. If you feel your project might be a little tricky to figure out, they are definitely the ones to go to.
With all that said, we were also working with a limited budget for our new backyard yet they still figured out something amazing for it (see photo!). So if you want something amazing for your outdoor space too, don't hesitate to reach out and discuss details with them!

I am a small new home builder and have known Dave for many years. I have used Creative Outdoors for pavers on many projects and recently had them do the landscaping, as well as the pavers, on a new home. I was impressed with Dave's knowledge, availability, and willingness to meet on the job and answer all questions in a very timely manner. I will use Dave, and Creative Outdoors, on the next new build. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed!

David: The Landscaper Who Transformed My Space

From the very beginning, David impressed me with his ability to take my vision and turn it into something truly special. My outdoor space wouldn't be the same without his expertise and creativity.

What truly sets David apart is his ability to collaborate. He can take your high-level input and use his incredible design sense to ideate and build something beautiful. This meant I could immediately trust him to take the reins without me needing to prescribe every detail. His experience and knowledge were invaluable, and it was clear he knew exactly how to do things the right way.

We had a large project with multiple contractors and David stood out. Unlike others who required constant oversight, David kept the project moving forward efficiently and required minimal management on my end. This was a huge plus, allowing me to focus on other things while he worked his magic.

It's also worth noting that David specializes in paver work. He used his expertise to create a stunning patio that seamlessly ties into my pool, along with beautiful new pathways and a driveway. The final result is a cohesive and elegant outdoor space that complements my home perfectly.

On top of his design skills and work ethic, David offers reasonable pricing and is incredibly easy to communicate with. He was always available to answer questions and kept me informed throughout the entire project.

If you're looking for a landscaper who can transform your outdoor space, I highly recommend David. He's a true professional who combines expertise, creativity, and clear communication to deliver exceptional results.

Creative outdoor did an excellent job. They were on time, quick and cleaned up after the job was done. All the crew were hard working. I'm pleased with the result and will use them again. I highly recommend them, I got their name from someone else who recommended them. Their work sells itself.
~ P. O'Connor

Fantastic attention to detail and a very professional driveway extension. Definitely a 5-star install. Thank you Creative Outdoors
~ Kenneth Lain

15 years ago Dave did our landscaping and that's when we met Cody as young boy. Now we are very pleased to have reconnected with Creative Outdoors and to have Cody taking care of our landscaping as a young man. Wonderful to have him back on board. He saved our pine trees, sent Mr. Gopher to the Gopher farm and again saved our plants from a sure death. We tease Cody about telling his Father if things his Dad did go south. Creative Outdoors is a honorable company to do business with. Love to see my garden when we return every few months. Must say, we had other companies come in and nothing like Creative Outdoors. I can rest knowing things will be taken care of when we are gone. Pleasant to work with and Cody stays in touch with us while we are back in Colorado. Might be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The original garden and landscape looks just as good as when it first done. Highly recommend their services couldn't be happier. Lost track of them several years ago but i am delighted we found them again and so very pleased.

Posting for our company Rim Trail LLC... I don't know where to start. Our first interaction was with David. Honestly there aren't enough adjectives to describe his promptness, professionalism, and follow through. Ditto for Kristen in the office. Onto the crew. Always polite, knowledgeable & hard working. The work was extensive with a large curved paver installed driveway, followed by complete landscaping from irrigation, tree planting, staking, protection, loads of plants and boulder staging. The attention to detail was over the top. We're just not used to a company providing perfection at every level. It's refreshing.
~ Katherine Large

They are AWESOME! They designed and installed the beautiful landscaping at my house and also do the monthly maintenance. Friendly Family Owned Business that I am happy to recommend.
~ Sandy Reagles

Last summer, we contracted Creative Outdoors to take over our 2 acre lot maintenance in Hassayampa. They are thorough, dependable and do a great job maintaining our property and keeping it up to firewise standards. They are an excellent resource for your landscaping and maintenance needs.
~ Wendy Brady

David, Cody and their team did an amazing and fast job with our landscaping needs. We needed to dress up the curb appeal with new rock and add two trees for more privacy. They found us some beautiful large trees to plant and the finished landscaping is beautiful. Would highly recommend them for your next project.
~ Karla

David and Kristen at Creative Outdoors are really genuine, hard working folks. So is their crew, who work until dark. David did everything as per the bid. I had my pavers cleaned and sealed, plus various other outdoor maintenance jobs. It looks really nice. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Creative Outdoors again. I live in West Sedona.
~ Anne Decker

I kept the lovely 5x7 post card sent from Creative Outdoors LLC and called them recently in December for maintenance. Kristen set up an appointment for us to meet with David and after meeting with him we were happy to hear that he would be able to schedule us next week for service. The day they arrived we were so pleased with the whole crew and all of the work they did. Our trees and bushes look great and we are looking forward to a beautiful Spring. Thank you very much Creative Outdoors LLC.

We knew we needed to replace our steep and large, 4,500 sq ft concrete driveway and court yard. We wanted pavers but thought the cost would be prohibitive. We got estimates for Rubber Stone, Concrete and Pavers. We were surprised that the cost for pavers was less than 20% over concrete. We hired Creative Outdoors to do the paving and we are GLAD WE DID!! They started the job right on time, finished in less than 10 days and within their cost estimate. Our driveway looks beautiful!! Neighbors and passers by comment on the great look. We had 'Snow Melt' (electric heating coils) installed under the pavers and we are now waiting for snow!! Can you imagine no shoveling? Creative Outdoors is a great company. Their workers are polite, professional and clean not just in their work but also in their conduct. Not once in ten days did I hear foul language and I was present all the time they worked. We are happy we chose Creative Outdoors and highly recommend this firm.
~ WINFRED HENCH

Have had many projects with Creative Outdoors and they definitely deliver great quality & honest work. I will continue to use them with future projects. Hard workers & shows up on time. Does the work they say they are going do.
~ Audra Edmondson

Creative Outdoors was great to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend this company; we had a wonderful experience. They did an amazing job on our pavers and landscaping. They are always on time, very meticulous, and customer service is important to them. Thanks again for all your hard work!
~ Baylie Kelly

The job that Creative did for us was marvelous. Work was completed ahead of schedule and was on budget. We added 300 square ft of pavers and they matched the existing pavers perfectly. Our yard now looks fantastic and the hot tub addition looks great. The team worked very hard and fast even during the heat wave. When they were done, they cleaned up the site perfectly as well, not a trace of the construction left. I would use Creative again and fully recommend them.
~ Gary S.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave for over 20 years.
Probably 1500+ driveways over the years. Made all my closings on time even during the cold snowy winters and, of course, covid. Always takes care of warranty issues going above and beyond to keep his customers happy. Thanks Dave it's a pleasure doing business with you.
~ Debbie P.

We had a wonderful experience with creative Outdoors. Our driveway looks amazing! They are very professional and on top of anything that comes up.
~ Heidi C.

Everything went great. David and Kristen were just wonderful to work with. We do not live at the property at this time, and they went out of their way to accommodate our schedule to make sure the work was done while we could be there. Dave, Brent, and the rest of the crew were awesome. The transformation was unbelievable! We have already begun planning for the next phase of all the things we want to do with the landscaping of our retirement home. Although we are still uncertain about much of it, one thing we absolutely know for sure ... Creative Outdoors will be our choice for having it done!
~ Karen B.

Creative Outdoors did the complete landscaping of our back yard and installed a paver walkway around the side of the house to the front. They put in a large paver patio and a circular area for a fire pit. They created an extensive raised planter area behind a beautiful stone wall. A nice area of artificial grass will keep our dog happy. Trees, bushes, a drip irrigation system, and low maintenance decorative rock completed the job. We selected Creative Outdoors out of eleven proposals we had for the job.

Their proposal was clear and complete and considering the award winning work David has done in the past, we had the most confidence that they would do a good job for us. Our job took longer than we expected, partially due to weather conditions and partially (in my opinion) because of the high demand for the excellent work that this company does. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the paver and stone work. When there was a mix up in the color of the artificial grass that was initially installed, they were very responsive and arranged for us to visit their supplier and select the exact grass that we wanted. We are very happy with the work Creative Outdoors did for us, and David and Kristen and their crew were very professional.
