Nearly every one of Gilbert's 26 landscape design companies also builds: 24 of them design and install, and 21 lay hardscape. Design in Gilbert is mostly sold as the opening stage of a backyard project, often presented on screen before anything is dug. Dream Retreats Landscape Design & Construction offers 3D design by a licensed landscape architect, then builds hardscape, turf, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Fernweh Outdoor runs 3D design into full design-build projects with patios, driveways, turf, irrigation and pondless waterfalls.
Video is part of the pitch for a few firms. C&E Builders, a family-owned pool and backyard builder, offers design packages with plans, 3D renderings and video walkthroughs. Shearon Design Collective presents custom designs the same way, with pools, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and shade canopies in its project images. Pools are common in this group, with 11 of the 26 building them, and 17 build outdoor kitchens or fire features. A rendering sells the look, so also ask for a dimensioned plan, the number of revisions included, and whether the design fee is credited if the same company builds it.

Ongoing care is a smaller part of the picture. 9 of the 26 offer maintenance and just 4 offer tree care. Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management is one of the exceptions, focusing on commercial and community association properties with design, construction, maintenance and tree management. 13 of the 26 list commercial and HOA work in total.
Gilbert's licence match rate is above the state figure. 15 of the 26, or 58%, matched an active Registrar of Contractors licence on the 7 October 2026 posting list, compared with 53% statewide, and 12 of the 15 hold a 21-class licence. 11 could not be matched on the ROC list. Ask the company which licence class covers what it is quoting, and confirm it through the ROC's free contractor search.
Common questions about landscape design in Gilbert
Can I see a video walkthrough of my Gilbert landscape design?
Some Gilbert firms offer it. C&E Builders includes 3D renderings and video walkthroughs in its design packages, and Shearon Design Collective presents designs as renderings and walkthroughs too. Ask whether the walkthrough is based on a measured site plan, how many changes you can request after seeing it, and whether you receive the plan files.
Who draws the plan at a Gilbert design-build company?
It varies. Dream Retreats Landscape Design & Construction states its 3D designs are done by a licensed landscape architect, a credential registered by the Arizona Board of Technical Registration. At other firms a designer or the owner draws the plan. Since 24 of Gilbert's 26 design companies also build, ask who produces your drawings and who supervises the build.
Will a Gilbert landscape designer maintain the yard after the build?
Only some will. 9 of Gilbert's 26 design companies offer ongoing maintenance, and Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management focuses on commercial and community association properties. If you want one company for both, ask what a maintenance visit includes, whether irrigation repairs cost extra, and how plant replacement is handled after any warranty ends.
How do Gilbert design companies compare on ROC licence matches?
15 of Gilbert's 26 design companies matched an active Registrar of Contractors licence on the 7 October 2026 posting list, or 58%, above the 53% statewide share. 12 hold a 21-class licence, and 11 could not be matched. Check any company at the ROC's free contractor search and ask which class covers the quoted work.
