CYC Landscaping

Had CYC design and update landscaping at my home in Ahwatukee and their entire team was professional, hard working, and easy to work with. The project experienced a few speed bumps, but the owner and his staff handled with 100% satisfaction. Highly recommend for any size job, large or small. Ask for Mike the designer.

CYC and Mike (their designer) is awesome! We have a beautiful view and wanted a yard with ‘wow’ factor to go with it. Mike listened and came up with the perfect design that fit within our budget and vision. We had a couple of problem areas in the yard and Mike talked through the design and we could not be happier with the outcome. I also give props to Shaun and their customer service team. We had a couple of plants that did not make it through the initial summer heat and they were out within a few days to replace them. I would definitely recommend CYC. They are a little more expensive, but worth every penny!

CYC did a great job of converting our «dirt» into a living space that we can use year round.
Mike worked with us to develop a plan for the yard and developed an estimate for completion. He had some great ideas. (We are new to the desert.) The end product is just what we wanted it to be.
The installation crew was really good and was well supported by the office staff. There was a question about some elevation changes on the pavers and Carlos (the expert) came up with an innovative solution that looks great. They cleaned up each day at the end of the work.
I would highly recommend CYC and will use them in the future.

They did a pretty good job. They were a bit more expensive that a couple of other options we had but they did good work. There was one issue where the artificial turf that I had paid for 15×26 when I measured the border because I thought it. looked short and found it was 14×26, that was really the only issue when you are paying 7 – 8 bucks a sqft that adds up. They came out and fixed the border before laying the grass which is fine. Follow up is so so, the crew finished and I wasn’t sure if they had finished completely or not since I didn’t receive any communication for several days after the project was completed. I had figured they finished being they didn’t come back the next day. I would still probably use them again as their paver warranty of 5 years was the best one I found and the end project turned out great.

INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT! CYC was recommended by a Scottsdale BBQ company and positive reviews on Unilocal gave us confidence in hiring them to construct a built-​in BBQ and Fire Pit. The employees and subs were terrific: timely, hard working, and neat HOWEVER the lack of appropriate project oversight resulted in many errors and omissions… the project design was wrong from the start with corrections necessary after the fact (ex:the masonry sub had to take down part of the block work for the BBQ and rebuild it), some materials were of poor quality or missing parts, and numerous calls to Mark and/​or Mandie were necessary to ensure completion of the project in a satisfactory manner. I even sent a harsh email to Chris, CYC’s owner, expressing our frustration.
I am still shocked that CYC did not think it was necessary or appropriate to conduct a final project inspection even after I paid the final bill. I hope that projects with budgets greater than the $ 10,000 that we spent would receive better management.
Net, net: if you are not prepared to provide your own project oversight on a daily basis, hire another landscape firm.

We recently moved to a new home and we were referred to CYC from a neighbor. Mike came to our home and did a wonderful job of explaining what he could do for the backyard within our budget. We were specific about what we wanted (travertine pavers, gas fire pit, mostly grass for the dogs), he drew up the design and we had an open dialog about changes before the work began. We also dealt with Mandie, his Office Manager, a couple of times and she was always very prompt, professional and helpful in answering our questions. Mike’s crew that worked on the yard was on time each day, worked quickly and did an excellent job. We could not be more pleased with our yard! We would refer CYC Landscaping to anyone and will be using them again in the future!

Mike is Awesome!!! He is one of the partners of CYC & I recommend him & his team to anyone that needs a complete landscape package. They go above & beyond & they don’t skip the details — if you want your backyard to look like $ 1M and enhance the value of your home — Go with CYC — U won’t regret it!!!

We had CYC landscape our backyard four years ago and not a rainstorm goes by that I don’t think to myself, «wow those guys did an awesome job». They did such a superb job preparing our yard before laying artificial grass and pavers that we never have any flooding. The rain drains almost immediately. The last big storm we had in Phoenix a month ago (where there was flooding everywhere!) we did have an ankle deep pool in the turf area, but it had drained in about an hour after the rain had stopped.
We also use CYC’s sister company, Complete Yard Care to do bi-​monthly maintenance on our yard and they do an excellent job, even fixing things or cleaning up messes without being asked. They’re always professional, and we get a polite knock at the door before each service to make sure we don’t have anything special we need done.
Our backyard is beautiful as well, and when we move to our new house I will definitely miss my little oasis, which is why we’ll be having CYC Landscaping do the work we’re planning at the new house!

We had CYC Landscaping landscape our front and backyard and it was a wonderful experience. They truly went above and beyond. They showed up on time, the men all were easy to communicate with, were courteous and professional. They even power washed the street when done. I give them my highest recommendation.

CYC did a complete install for me almost 7 years ago. The design incorporated everything I asked for plus a whole lot more. I did not get nickeled and dimed to death with change orders. The bid they gave me was exactly what I paid. I am working with them again on some additional work and am very excited about the design as the price meets my budget and the new features in our yard will allow us to spend a lot more family time outside.

These guys rock! For those of you who expect wonders, do it yourself! For the money and service, they show up every week! 115 degrees? They are there cleaning my yard! Can’t ask for a better run company since anything I ask, I can get some response from Chris the owner. Again, customer service at its finest. A+ guys!

Not impressed at all. I used their services to take care of my yard. They continually showed up before 7:00 a.m. in my residential neighborhood. I called to request no earlier than 8:00 a.m. or later. They said fine. Next two times, before 7:00 a.m. Called again, they then informed me they could not guarantee my time after 8:00 a.m. as I was first on their route. They neglected to mentioned this on my first call. I also did not appreciate the raising of my agreed upon estimate in less than 4 months. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. The last strike was their unprofessional estimate I received when I was getting a quote for a new irrigation system for my whole yard. Nothing was explained very well and the individual was not very professional. I went with someone whose price was the exact same but used PVC pipe instead of the rubber tubing for the main piping through my yard. This is my first Unilocal review and I use it quite a bit for major decisions so these folks definitely got my dander up.

I used a few other landscaping services before I found CYC. I have to say I’ve been extremely pleased with their service. There is always one person on their crew that speaks good english and I’m always able to communicate what I need done on the yard. Their crews do a great job, my yard has never looked so good!

They completely relandscaped my yard in front and back. They showed up when they said they would, finished on schedule and did not present any addendums or change orders, except for the additional work I asked for. My yard looks amazing and it was on budget. I could not be happier.
I highly recommend them

Excellent work, and attention to detail. They landscaped my entire yard from the boring builder landscaping that came with my house in the front yard; a kidney bean shaped piece of grass a couple of tiny trees and some rocks. And they also took my dirt backyard and turned it into a tropical oasis, with a beautiful rock waterfall, flowering plants, trees, lush grass and pavers done in a cool circular pattern. It’s beautiful back there now and all my friends are insanely jealous of my mini tropical paradise. I highly recommend them.
I’m taking off one star because my project was delayed by a 3 days because of a 3 day holiday weekend, but I guess that means that they actually give their employees holiday weekends off… so maybe that should actually be plus one star?
EDITED: After thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided to give back the star I originally subtracted for the 1 day delay on my project. I decided it was pretty unreasonable for me to subtract a star over that.
Anyway, I would highly recommend them. Excellent attention to detail and beautiful work!
