Home Services reviews in Tucson, Arizona

Eco Sense put in our gray water and Rainwater harvesting sytems and did an amazing job. Both projects were scheduled with lots of communication, completed cleanly and quickly and any little details that werent exact were fixed immediately (like really nit picky things that other contractors would have rolled their eyes at)

EcoSense Sustainable Landscape has our highest recommendation. Eli Nielsen, crew and associates transformed our backyard into a beautiful walled garden, replete with specimen succulents, fruit trees, flowering shrubs, water features, well laid out paths and garden art that doubles as a bee habitat. Everything was done with an eye toward sustainability, using Sonoran desert natives and the latest in water harvesting techniques.

Ecosense did such a nice job putting decomposed granite in our circular patio area, we love it!

Eli and the EcoSense team have now done multiple landscaping jobs for us. They've been wonderful: Great, professional installation that looks amazing. Always my first call when we need professional yard help!

For a while we have wanted to redesign our yard, and rainwater harvesting and xeriscaping was a priority. We discussed our ideas with rainwater harvesting companies and landscape designers in town. Ecosense really understood how to put the two priorities together. Eli and Andrew listened well and also recognized our desire to have a child-friendly play space and garden beds.

They created an exciting design plan and were present for nearly the entire instlallation. They not only addressed our goals and priorities but did so in a creative way.

We are really excited about the final outcome. Since the yard was completed the children have spent many hours engrossed in play. we have spent time outside with the entire family and we have planted seeds and love running out to watch them grow. We’ve enjoyed watching the passive basin fill during the recent rains and have been happy to see that the water which used to pool near our house is now directed away.

We can’t say enough about Eli, Andrew and their whole crew. We recommend them without hesitation and are excited to see them help others transform their yards while conserving resources.

Sorry to say, EcoSense will no longer be doing landscape maintenance. They will be focusing on building and planting projects. We are still enjoying the garden they installed seven years ago and the work they did to prevent flooding in our yard during heavy rains.

EcoSense converted our flat, lifeless backyard with mesquite trees to attractive, multi-dimensional area with an ephemeral stream meander with infiltration areas, boulder groupings and succulent plantings throughout. Andrew and crew was very professional and came to back to tweak boulder groups for roof runoff. My only complaints were the delay in from initial site visit to scheduled work and office manager didn't get back with me on water rebate program (however Andrew was quick to return my email).

Employees know what they're doing and how to do it. They prioritize keeping my irrigation system running properly. They emphasize the ECO in their name, and therefore don't use harsh chemicals such as Roundup. Their treatment kills weeds but less effectively. However we have been customers for 15 years and are satisfied.

Eli and crew did a great job landscaping our back yard and installing ground drains to move excess water away from the house. The plants and trees are 1 1/2 years old and are growing well. I highly recommend them, they stand behind their work. We continue to use them for maintenance.

EcoSense has installed two projects for us through our Neighborhood Scale Stormwater Harvesting Program, one in Barrio Viejo next to the Fire Station and another at Nash Elementary School. With each project they have provided competitive pricing and very high quality installation. Eli and Andrew bring a wealth of plant, water harvesting and material knowledge to their work. We also really appreciate the research and experimentation that they incorporate into their projects. Their work is long lasting and sustainable.

Eli and the whole crew at EcoSense Sustainable Landscapes were great to work with. I wanted a big yard landscaped to support my goals of native desert trees and shrubs, with a focus on food webs and biodiversity. They designed the basins, rooftop rainwater diversion, and drip irrigation in conjunction with my roof and yard dimensions, and delivered a fantastic final product! EcoSense will work with you to meet your landscaping goals.

Ecosense was very thorough during the design process. Their design was beautiful and included all aspects of what we were looking for in water conservation, plant life and trees. They always responded to questions and concerns and I would recommend them for any active and passive water management design.

EcoSense is top notch. The team is friendly, cooperative and professional. My landscape is clean and healthy, thanks to the care they give everything. I particularly love that they don't use harmful herbicides. I also appreciate that they fertilize my plants when needed and give me watering and other tips from time to time.

EcoSense is a great company!! Beautiful work integrating natural Arizona landscaping with rusted metal fencing and planter boxes. The owner Eli is knowledgeable and creative. I have worked as both a client and a vendor with EcoSense. Their intention to provide service that is reliable, high integrity and a positive experience comes through in all they do. I highly recommend.

EcoSense is highly professional and has been able to transform my backyard into a sustainable and beautiful environment (... and I cut my water bill in half ). The company worked around my busy schedule and ensured that my ideas and feelings towards the landscape space were fully integrated. I recommend EcoSense without hesitation, whether it is for basic eco-friendly landscaping needs or for more dramatic sustainable landscape designs.

EcoSense has been our landscaping company since it began. We are so glad to be able to have people come here who care about and know about the desert and always consider sustainability issues when they make design and maintenance decisions. Their teams are friendly reliable and professional and especially responsive to our irrigation problems.
Water is precious and they value that in all they do for us. Our yard is growing and blooming and is a great source of joy thanks to their maintenance and care. They are the best!

It was a joy to work with EcoSense. We had a lot running on selecting the right landscape architect
due to having to please 40 homeowners. EcoSense
was easy to work with; they were creative; budgeted
project that worked with our available funds; stayed within our budget; were thoughtful in using plants
and beautiful rock formations that complimented
the three spaces we were changing from an old
look to a new exciting design.
They were competent! Returned phone calls!
They followed through on their promises.
They came back several times after finishing the
Project to make sure everything was good.
We are pleased beyond measure as we continue to
see the three islands grow and mature. You can
see...we loved working with EcoSense!

EcoSense installed our initial landscaping (designed by Scott Calhoun) and drip irrigation system 6 years ago. They have been providing ongoing support and maintenance ever since. EcoSense staff genuinely care about the well-being of our plants. We are extremely happy with their professionalism and attention to detail.

EcoSense did an amazing job transforming our landscape. They’re a highly skilled, knowledgeable team! We highly recommend them, and look forward to working with them again.

Originally, rainwater would gush out of our roof’s terracotta scuppers, onto our huge, cracked, concrete driveway, into the street, then push debris out of the median into our neighbor’s driveway.

EcoSense designed a perfect solution for us, including converting part of our driveway into a lovely, meandering garden walkway. They also worked with contractors to install gutters that now direct the rainwater into native plant-filled basins, and worked with a contractor who converted the rest of our cracked driveway to pavers.

They were very knowledgeable about the Tucson Water program that gives rainwater harvesting rebates (up to $2,000 as of January 2025). So, they made that process very easy for us.

They worked in our backyard including laundry-to-landscape so our grey water now flows farther away from our house to water larger plants.

We had two hardscape areas where rainwater would gather. EcoSense gave the rainwater a job by converting some of the hardscape into native gardens, which we love. We look forward to watching the plants grow into their new home.

EcoSense completely renovated our backyard to divert water from the house to basins and replace grass with lush low water use plantings. Not only was the result stunning and as it was designed for, the team was stellar. They told us when the work was to be started and met that date with the right crew (who were very professional and personable), and accomplished the work in the time frame promised. They were easy to work with and accommodated our requests during the process.

Very hard workers, reliable and experienced. I definitely recommend this company.
