Dream Retreats Landscape & Construction Reviews & Testimonials
From Our Clients in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Arizona

Dream Retreats did an excellent job. From the start, Brendan provided ideas, listened, and worked with us to transform our backyard while respecting our budget. His plan and personable approach was a reason we chose them over others we reached out to. Jacob was thorough in what they were going to do and gave us instruction/tips for aftercare. Alex provided further oversight and input that were valued. Their team of workers were amazing at their trade and efficient. We are pleased with their results and recommend them.

Dream Retreats designed and remodeled our yard 5 years ago. They completely redid the backyard and extensively upgraded the front yard, driveway and side yard. We were thrilled with the results when they finished their work and remain so today. We had a small issue with some ground settling a year or so after the job was finished, but came right out and fixed it. Otherwise, we have had zero issue and absolutely love our yard.

We met with Brendan for our initial design for our backyard. He was very professional and offered his opinion without making us feel obligated (we ended up going with his suggestion and we are extremely happy that we did). During the project we worked with Alex. He was also very professional and kept us up-to-date with the schedule throughout the project. Our yard looks fantastic and we are constantly recommending Dream Retreats to our family, friends, and neighbors. We plan to use them again in the future should we ever need landscaping design/changes.

Dream Retreats did a fabulous job redesigning our backyard and making more usable. From the original CAD designs that showed us exactly what our yard would look like completed, to the removal of the existing yard and professionalism of the team that redid the entire yard with extended paver patios, walks, grass, rock and various bushes, along with the built in BBQ and pergola shading over the patio area. The new yard is actually usable again. Thanks a bunch!

I used Dream Retreats for a big front and back yard renovation this year, and quite simply they far exceeded my expectations! More importantly, in a market that is unfortunately littered with unscrupulous actors and incompetence, Todd and his team showed the highest level of INTEGRITY, HONESTY, PROFESSIONALISM, and EXPERTISE throughout the entire experience.

From the design phase that blew us away, to his team of laborers who kept waking us up at 6:30am and then worked 12 hours a day in the hot AZ May sun, to the constant follow up on product deliveries, we were in sync and in the loop at all times. Of course issues came up during install, and Todd rolled with the punches and came up with solutions that kept the project on time and on budget.

I literally could not recommend Todd and his team more, and I would give ten stars out of five if I could!

I believe you get a lot of value from what you pay for. Where Dream Retreats shines is in their ability to help you design a holistic functional outdoor living space and manage the important details throughout the entire process. Since I was adding a pool to my backyard, I opted to have the patio tie into the pool for a uniform look. While I knew I could have my pool builder do it, I knew I would have far more material options and plan flexibility if I went with a professional landscaping company. I am glad I did because dealing with any changes through the pool builder was very frustrating.

Sonny listened to our ideas and gave us recommendations that we did not think about. There was a lot of forward thinking and setup that ended up saving me money and future headaches, which I greatly appreciated. I changed my mind on a few things as I got a better visual of how things would look, and it was never a problem to make adjustments. The owner Todd, Alex the site manager and their crew was a pleasure to work with. They were always on time and did what they said they would do.

There were no surprises on what I was going to pay. I received a detailed cost breakdown for everything that was being done. I will not hesitate to use Dream Retreats landscaping for any future projects.

We had the best experience with Dream Retreats. My husband and I have been involved with several construction projects before and always hate the contractors by the time the project is done. But Dream Retreats was different right from the start all the way to the end of the project. They were professional, excellent communicators and never pressured us to "upgrade" anything we didn't want too. I think that was the best part, that Todd really helped us tailor our needs and was always honest with his opinion. Along with Todd, all his subs were also fantastic and every timely and efficient with their work. The project started and ended on time and exactly on budget! Sonny is an excellent designer and he was the only one who ( out several designers we interviewed) truly listened and got our vision. There was sales pitch, just delivering exactly what the customer wants!
High Recommend them and we are planning on using them again for our front yard! You won't go wrong with Dream Retreats!

Love our new backyard. The whole team was great from start to finish. Easy to work with and great communication throughout the process. Our installer was a rock star and exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking to update your outdoor space I highly recommend Dream Retreats!

We reached out to Dream Retreats (referred by a neighbor) in early November 2023 with regard to a pool deck/patio project. Sonny, a landscape architect, came out to our house, discussed a number of different approaches, and took some photographs and measurements. In less than a week, he had created an incredibly accurate 3D-model of our backyard remodel that really helped us visualize the finished product. We committed to the project in early February, Dream Retreats got us on the schedule, and completed the work in one week in late March.

The project was overseen by Alex, who was very friendly and approachable. The drainage channel that was delivered to the work site was a lower-spec model than what had been quoted/agreed on - Alex hadn't caught that, but when I brought it to his attention, he took care of it and got the right product delivered. The construction work was done by a team of three men who put in long hours and demonstrated amazing workmanship. Their tile work was beautiful, they were very neat and tidy, and they clearly took exceptional pride in their work.

Because of a design oversight, the edge of the patio looked unfinished in a few areas where no vertical face tile was installed. I reached out to Dream Retreats, and the owner Todd came out to assess the situation. Without hesitation he accepted that the final job was not satisfactory, and he immediately committed to resolving the issue. We agreed on a solution, and he had the tile guys come out within 2 weeks to make the necessary repairs. The end result - our patio looks better than ever, and we are very satisfied with how everything worked out.

Would I recommend Dream Retreats? ABSOLUTELY! Sonny's impressive 3D-modeling of the project put Dream Retreats on the top of our list, the price was reasonable, Alex was a pleasure to deal with, the tiling team did magnificent work with great attention to detail, and the way Todd addressed our concerns shows that Dream Retreats really care about their customers and their reputation.
