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 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.

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.

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 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!

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.

I know these people here are at the top of their game. When we come back in the summer, hopefully to install a rain harvesting system, they will be the only people we will call.

I would love to check this place out, it looks like it could have been a park for our local neighborhood but its just a fenced in area with a no trespassing sign. What happened to this place, its so sad and depressing to even look at please clean the place up whoever owns it because some kid is going to try to go inside and get seriously hurt.

Hi The guys do a decent job in the 1.5 hrs of work, but do not finish everything we would like done and $225.00 seems too much paid for so little work. So I will be looking elsewhere for landscaping help. Thanks, John Kopplin

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.

While we didnt follow thru, due to budget constraints, with what turned out to be a larger project than we thought, we were impressed by this groups professional knowledge and commitment to sustainable landscapes; they would be hard to knock off the top of our bid list!

Employees know what theyre doing and how to do it. They prioritize keeping my irrigation system running properly. They emphasize the ECO in their name, and therefore dont use harsh chemicals such as Roundup. Their treatment kills weeds but less effectively. However we have been customers for 15 years and are satisfied.

I have worked with this company for years. They always quote me fair prices, do the work when they say they will, do an excellent job, and are a professionally run organization. I highly recommend them.

EcoSense worked on my backyard last summer. I wanted to replace my grass yard with desert plants. EcoSense was punctual, did the work in the time they estimated, and did a wonderful job.They installed a tank that harvests water from the roof, put in ollas (pots put into the ground) for watering, ran pipes from the tank to the ollas, planted two or three plants around each of the ollas, then sprinkled wildflower seeds all over. This spring I am enjoying the results. The tank is full and watering has been easy. Each plant lived and flourished, and for the past two months there have been flowers in bloom throughout the area. Hummingbirds, bees and butterflies are enjoying the flowers. I got a rebate from the city for the installation, and EcoSenses invoice provided information that made the application easy. I recommend them without reservation. to the area.

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 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 didnt get back with me on water rebate program (however Andrew was quick to return my email).

★★★★★

Always friendly staff and always willing to listen at each visit to ask what is needed. We have used them for nearly five years and are very happy with their service.

Eli and Andrew worked with us to develop a phased plan allowing us to setup rainwater harvesting, choose and install native plantings and create swales to catch and hold natural runoff in retention areas to water trees and plants naturally. They also installed an above ground garden trough and some decorative garden art. We disconnected our drip irrigation system and have put in additional native plants landscape which are thriving. This year we added ollas to help water local plantings. We have referred them to several neighbors and will continue to do so.

★★★★★

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.

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.

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. EcoSense set up rainwater harvesting barrels and earthworks infrastructure on my property last summer, and weve since had a thriving desert and edible garden because of Eli, Andrew and their crew.

The owner/manager of the company was very helpful in converting our backyard into a more eco-friendly environment. He put in cacti and native trees that used less water. He also made suggestions for future renovation. Thank you Eli!

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.
