Report
We researched every company in Tucson before going with Santa Rita for our backyard. We were looking for a company that would do a design, listen to us, incorporate our ideas and perhaps improve on them. They did our design. Jeremy listened to us and incorporated what we wanted. He also made great suggestions. The crew was also great -- Lallo, Jesse and Chris. Keone, the foreman, was also fantastic.
We got a nice seat wall, irrigation throughout (one company told us it wasn't possible), lots of color, incorporated our own pots, turf and just a beautiful backyard to go with our view. Sometimes you buy something and you have buyers remorse. None of that here. All first class throughout.

We had Santa Rita install our backyard landscaping many years ago. Actually, before we moved into the house. We just recently moved into our home after retiring. Most of the plants they planted have died. Our putting green needed to be replaced after four years. We were left with a lot of river rock that they placed along side our house which wasn't in the plan. They ordered too much so they just placed it without asking us.
We've had many issues with our drip system as well. I'd say the only thing that still remains are the pavers. Our project was a lot of money to us. Maybe this company didn't think so. I suggest looking elsewhere unless you're going to spend $ 40-50K then maybe they will treat you differently.

Joel and T The prominent reason I choose WSR was because Joel answered his phone it was not an answering machine with a "We will get back to you" message. On top of that service was excellent Joel helped pick to optimum bin size for the project out of the available inventory, delivery and pickup were prompt and the driver "T" and the driver that picked up are friendly, pleasant and helpful. We will call you again. Thank you very much Lorne Sherk

Actually the easiest one star I've ever given. These people do the maintenance at my apartment complex and Jesus Christ any adult American knows when you're pretending not to speak English. You don't go from understanding my apartment complex manager telling you need to move and understanding perfectly and just saying no whenever I try to get you to move. So for a quick summary they will park illegally in your fire lane stand around not working screaming outside your window, then pretend to not speak English when you ask them to move. Actually I speak a little Spanish and they said they couldn't understand that either it's clear they're trying to annoy their way out of respecting the law

I will start by saying I wasn't solicited to write this review. Excellent business if you are looking to landscape. They are a very busy company so it is a bit of a wait before they start but very much worth the wait. Jeremy was very thorough and professional in helping us in the design process and was always prompt in communication with us. During the landscaping process, Alex and crew were very quick in their work and the outcome matched the blueprints perfectly. Tom would periodically in check in with us to make sure we were happy with the results and would answer any questions we had. It the end, we now have a beautiful backyard thanks to the very hard work of the entire team of Santa Rita Landscaping.
