Home Services reviews in Mesa, Arizona

My husband and I would like to add to MDG’s enthusiastic reviews and accolades. We met with Andrew in May 2018, and our project began in early October and finished in early November. MDG was the 4th landscaping company that we met with, but even before meeting with them, they were our top choice. I am SO glad that we got to work with them because our project was big - entire remodel of front, back, including pool, and both side yards - and there was no way we would have trusted anyone else’s design ability, workmanship, and professionalism the way we did with MDG.

Andrew’s top-notch creativity and designs allowed us to have a remodel we never imagined possible. We were specifically looking for a company with landscape architecture and design skills, and MDG was able to give us the remodel of our dreams. We met with Andrew and Ryan a total of three times--Andrew was always willing to meet to discuss ideas and to assure us, and Ryan was always so kind and patient with addressing all of our questions.

I can't speak enough of MDG--these three brothers (Andrew, Eddie, and Ryan) and their team have our utmost gratitude and respect; not only are they talented and hard-working, they are kind, trustworthy people. They did everything they committed to AND MORE. We loved getting to know Eddie, who has our deepest respect--everyday, he showed up bright and early and not only gave very clear direction and guidance to the team, but he worked right alongside them. I can’t count the ways he went above and beyond for us, not just out of kindness, but also as a reflection of his commitment to tending to the finest detail, pride, and ownership for MDG’s work. Some examples include: trimming our existing palms (NOT a part of the work order), using zip ties to perfect the look of our string lights, and coming back on his own time to add some extra gravel to our NEIGHBOR’S front yard. By the time MDG wrapped up our project, they had been there for 1.5 months, and we truly felt sad saying good-bye to our new friends.

Please, please consider MDG--you would be fortunate to have them tend to all of your landscaping needs with the deepest level of care, and if words aren’t enough, we hope our 2 before and 3 after photos speak for themselves.

Andrew and his brothers did an amazing job on our back yard. Andrew made it possible to get everything we wanted in our backyard and get within budget. They took everything that we wanted and included it into the design while adding his own design, which we loved. They were very professional and put in the extra effort and paid attention to details where other companies would take the easier route. Andrew is very knowledgable about local plants and ideal placement in the yard, they also have been following up with us regularly to make sure everything is holding up well in this heat. We love our backyard and recommend Meise group to anyone looking to get their yard done, you will not be disappointed.

Meise Design Group and Eddie, Ryan and their team are by far the most helpful, most knowledgeable and professional group I have ever worked with for any house project. We moved into a new home and could pay to have the contracted company the builder uses to do the yard but it wasn’t “us”. We did some research and found Meise Design Group and I am so happy we did. Ryan drew up plans, we went through some revisions, and completely upfront on costs all the way throughout. We decided on a design and man did they deliver. Eddie and his team were out for about two weeks doing pavers, ensuring the gradient for drainage was maintained, turf and even the two garden beds my wife asked for. This team was literally doing every fine touch you could think of and even stained and finished the planter boxes in the street before putting them in. Eddie brought samples of rock and turf and went through advantages and disadvantages of each one. And the buck doesn’t stop there! After the install I thought one of the drips was messed up, next day they were out and it was my mistake. The builder put in the wrong diameter of piping and it broke at a 90 degree angle. Ryan and Eddie were out the next day, tore up the pavers, redid the builders piping and leveled it again and reinstalled all of the pavers. When I asked how much it was gonna cost to fix, “we don’t want anything just to make sure you’re happy with your yard”. Months later I wanted to start the garden bed, Ryan came out and showed me how they had the schedule and how to even program it depending on time of year. If you got this far in the review, please stop your second guessing and hesitation this is the only company you need to go with. Eddie, Ryan and the MDG Team, absolute rockstars for this industry.

Meise Design just finished an entire front and back yard remodel for our home in Gilbert and I absolutely could not be any happier. We got bids from 3 companies and they were right in the middle as far as price, but it turned out it wasn't price what swayed us, it was Andrew. He showed up on time, he was so lovely to talk to and I felt very comfortable trusting him with our money and our home. He had great ideas for our yard and took my ideas and made them better. He gave us our price and stayed within our budget the entire time. Every day his crew showed up on time, never late, never no-showed. They were respectful to myself, my kids and especially my pets. By the time they got done my kids were really sad to see our crew go. I also have to take a second to comment on the level of craftsmanship of his crew. The pool is an odd shape and the pavers and pool coping are PERFECT, PRECISE and gorgeous. In the end they did 24 trees, pavers throughout my entire back yard, turf front and back, they redid all the back yard electrical, laid a pad and over saw the install of a new hot tub and installed new irrigation and lighting. It's so beautiful, I can't get over it. I have recommended them to everyone. They are a wonderful family owned company with three hardworking brothers. They were always around, always available, and answered every call and text right away. I am so so happy with my new yard. Thank you Meise!

I had a hard time getting landscape architects to even give me quotes, so I was excited when I found Meise and got quick responses from Andrew. He took my long list of scattered ideas to renovate my backyard and was able to shape them into a cohesive experience, even adding some great ideas that we folded into the final product while also talking me through cost cutting options. The team was always open to my asks and very constructive in how to get the results I wanted; I never once heard "no" or "we can't do that". The install team worked fast and did an awesome job. I am attaching samples of their work, both designs and finished product, since the photos that other reviewers shared were part of what convinced me to go with Meise for this work. I was initially suspicious of the consistent 5-star ratings, but the photos that so many reviewers posted made me more confident that they were legitimate. I only wish this platform allowed me to add more pictures so that I could give the full view! These guys were consistently awesome and I have been recommending them to everyone. Highly recommend.

Outstanding! I want to share our fantastic experience with Meise Design Group - Landscape Construction! After nearly 20 years of having a neglected backyard that was large with an oddly shaped pool put in by the previous owners, Meise worked magic and turned it into a beautiful outdoor oasis that we look forward to enjoying every day! I've attached photos of the completed backyard design as well as 1 photo of the backyard 'before' its transformation. To say we were WOWED is an understatement. Andrew created a design that was both beautiful and more amazing than we could imagine, extending our patio deck around the pool so that it was useable space, creating a fun mini-golf putting green in part of our yard, and even a small meditation area at the side of our house! From providing guidance when we had ideas to incorporate into the design, to making choices between travertine vs. pavers, to creating an artistic landscape with plants that will mature with beauty, we were impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail in their work. The final cost was in line with the estimate provided and there were no hidden fees. The whole experience was professional and we felt very confident the entire time working with them. Meise’s team of workers were hard working and were on task daily so the project was completed on schedule and they made sure to clean up any construction debris at the end. Andrew and Eddie both came to do a final walkthrough to explain about maintenance and answer any questions we had. We couldn’t be happier and are thrilled with our backyard transformation - we now love being outside! We highly recommend Meise Design Group to anyone in need of landscape design. Their expertise and dedication to quality truly are outstanding. Thank you Andrew, Eddie, and the entire team at Meise for exceeding our expectations and turning our backyard into a dream come true!

We recently had Meise Design Group complete a backyard remodel. Two of our neighbors had used MDG so we saw their finished projects and had high recommendations from their experiences.
Several things stood out to us about MDG: Communication was exceptional. Calls were either answered immediately or returned quickly. Ryan and Eddie always made time to listen. We were always aware of what was going on and when to expect jobs to be completed. The crew was always on time and worked hard. We appreciated how they cleaned up.
MDG is into the details and we love how they created a beautiful shade structure over our cook area with space to gather with family and friends. An old, outdated water feature was removed and a truly beautiful one with lovely stonework and plants was installed.
Our yard desperately needed a fresh update. There is now a mixture of various plants around the perimeter of our fence and along the sides of the house. What really gives it a pop is the lighting which makes the yard just as beautiful at night as it is during the day. We are very pleased with the results and have been enjoying our new backyard. We highly recommend Meise Design Group and believe you will have a fantastic experience as well. Thank you, Ryan, Eddie & Andrew and the Crew!

It was a pleasure working with Andrew and the whole Meise group. Andrew spent a lot of time with me going back and forth on the design and gave helpful input. Once the design phase was complete, Andrew set a date for when installation was to begin. Installation started on the exact date that Andrew told me and his crew did not leave until the job was completed. The craftsman ship and attention to detail is unparalleled. I haven't had that great of an experience with any contractor and will be working with them again on Phase two of my project.

January 2015 - Meise Design Group just finished a complete new landscape of our backyard in Arcadia. We purchased the house with minimal landscaping. I had seen the Meise Brothers working around town and all of the work I had seen was amazing. I felt like they would be super expensive since all their work is top notch. After meeting with Andrew and explaining what we wanted and our budget, he worked tirelessly with us to design a dream backyard around our budget. Andrew is a genius with AutoCAD design and kept making all the revisions we asked for. The installation was quick, clean and amazing how hardworking and honest these guys are. Their work is absolutely top notch and I've never seen more dedicated and hard working guys work outside in the summer. Andrew never tried to up-sell us and kept offering great ideas for cost savings. They installed beautiful synthetic grass in the front of the house and great real grass, trees, pavers, plants and flowers in the back. They even installed a smart wifi irrigation timer that automatically adjusts the water as the forecast calls for. I really appreciate all these guys did and would highly recommend them to anyone in the future for commercial or residential design and installation.

Update 3/28/2025
We moved into a new home and once again Meise Design Group completely redesigned our backyard into the perfect oasis. This time with kids and dogs in mind so they added lots of beautiful synthetic turf, shade trees and privacy hedges. Again they knocked it out of the park with speed, great value and perfection!

My wife and I are new to the Scottsdale area so we didn’t have much to go off of regarding experience with landscape contractors. After interviewing three companies, we chose Meise Design Group for our backyard raise and rebuild. We couldn’t be happier with the process and finished results.
It was a smooth process working with Andrew, Eddie, and the entire Meise crew.

Andrew was very attentive to our questions and concerns. He got us involved in all of the decision making by asking us questions and laying out all options over and over again, so we could come to a solution that was suitable for us.
Andrew was always available for us throughout our project. At times I would text him as early as 6:00AM and he would respond right away.
Their quality of work is undeniable. They pay attention to every detail, as you can see in the attached photos.
I felt there pricing was fair. We had a few cost overruns but this was because we wanted a few upgrades- Not because he changed cost midway thru the project.
Our project was finished on time and we were so impressed we asked them to gut and redo our front yard as well!
MDG gets nothing less than a 5.0 rating and I highly recommend using them on your landscape projects.

Working with Meise Design Group was the best experience!

We went under contract in April 2024 to build a home here in Arizona while we were living in Virginia. As we got closer to the completion date (January 2025), we began our search for landscaping professionals. MDG was recommended to us from an architect we've been following on Instagram for several years. Between that recommendation, MDG's own Instagram portfolio, and their online reviews, we thought this might be a fit.

We initially worked with Andrew, who was super accommodating - first working with us over email and Zoom, then meeting us at the homesite in person when we flew out here for progress checks. He was great working with two people who have never had any outdoor space (former apartment/condo/townhouse people) and were mostly clueless about what we wanted other than some Pinterest inspo photos. And he was also just so perfect for us specifically - he is a former east coaster himself and a dog-person - so he knew to explain things we wouldn't know (e.g. window reflections can melt turf in this Arizona heat) and how to prioritize our dogs' needs (e.g. our pool has a ledge so if a pup falls in, they're not far from safety).

There was never any pressure - to go a certain direction, to exceed our budget, or to hurry up with decisions. Andrew was always prepared to talk in detail about options, tradeoffs, and pros/cons - and to let us see how those different things would look using his design software.

We eventually landed on a design that we loved, that met our HOA requirements, and that met state and local requirements - all of which MDG took care of (e.g. HOA application info, county permits, etc.).

Eddie and the teams on our property to complete the work were great. Everyone was kind, everything was kept as tidy as possible throughout the work; someone even came over on their day off because of a big rain storm - just to make sure everything was put away.

Our project wrapped on time, on budget, and on expectations. We had a super informative final walkthrough - letting us know how to work everything, when to maintenance things, etc. And then we've heard from the team a few times since - just checking in on us.

Our backyard is our sacred space - we LOVE it. All our guests love it. We've caught neighbors taking photos as inspo for their own yards. It's very simple because it prioritizes our view and our pups, but we've seen much more elaborate work MDG has done - so whatever your project, we would highly recommend MDG!

Business is still open

"I had a fantastic experience with this landscaper. They got my yard done fast, were super reliable, and the results look amazing. Great service from start to finish!"

Great reliable service.

They do an amazing job! The are very polite and get the job done!

These people come here once a week and every time they come blow outside where I live they blow everything into my yard. I've let it go many times as I've asked them to stop doing it . They always say sorry . Yet every week same thing . We spend to much time cleaning our yard for them to keep blowing things in our yard . I've had to bring my fur babies in to the vet because they have eaten something that's has been blown into their yard . I'm sick of it . Today was the last straw as they blew a ton of stuff into my yard after just cleaning it yesterday. I yelled at them today and asked them to stop again and the guy said he will keep it in mind . I mean what kind of landscapers are they .Not only do they blow all kinds of dust and garbage in my yard they leave weeds looking horrible all over the place . I would not recommend them to anyone . You would think Fulton homes homes would hire landscapers that would make their yards look nice . Such a shame .

They do a great job on our commercial properties. Show up weekly and get the job done! They have a sprinkler guy who weekly checks the properties as well and makes certain watering is proper and not wasted. Would recommend to anyone, commerical or residential.

We've been a client of Sunny Mesa Landscaping for 15+ years and very happy with the above and beyond service we receive from them and their crew. They have a great team and keep our property in top shape. Always reliable and can trust them to get the job done... and done very well. If you are seeking a trusted, hard working local service, then we highly recommend them for your property.

Ignored a no-soliciting sign

These guys do great work and in a very timely manor. They did both my front and back yards with very short notice and both look great! Thanks again guys!

Luciano did a fantastic job on my back yard. I will highly recommend him.
