We absolutely love the way our pool/backyard turned out!! We worked with Raheem and he was great. Poco Verde was our recommended pool co. From our home builder DR Horton. I would highly recommend this company who is looking for great work/quality and a very reasonable price.

We moved here from the Midwest so we did not know a lot about the landscaping companies down here. After doing some searching, getting quotes and talking with staff, we chose Poco Verde Pools and Landscapes. The staff was professional and, even with recent supply slumps, completed the projects to our satisfaction. We had Poco Verde do our landscaping and pool and we LOVE it! They did an outstanding job and we would use them again!

I would not give them any stars at all but I guess one is the minimum on Yelp. We had a new build with Fulton homes and Poco Verde was their recommended landscaper. It has only been 2 years since closing with Fulton and our sprinklers have had 5 leaks since completion of the landscaping. We have paid an extra $500 so far in repairs to the system which has had three leaks in the past few months so far this year. We were billed for completion of the landscaping before the system was hooked up and our plants had been in the ground for 3 months dying without water while waiting for them to finish the

I will give this business another opportunity, based off the possibility that a missed email occurred and revise or amend my review based on this new dealing. I've changed one star to 3 pending results. Met with Gary, and was initially impressed. Raheem submitted a design, I sent back a slight change adding artificial turf. Then silence. No response to email, or phone messages. I have a new build Fulton Home and they were the preferred Landscaper. What a total disappointment. No one in Fulton Homes Estrella Commons is using them. That should've been my sign to avoid.

Raheem is the man. He's super easy to work with. He pays attention to the details of what your vision is for your landscaping. The crew will work tirelessly on your project. The pictures are just the first step in our vision.
