What Sets Us Apart

Most landscape contractors in Arizona subcontract work or rent equipment per project. Here's why we operate differently - and why that matters for your backyard.

1

Licensed Arizona Contractor

We hold an active Arizona ROC license (#345055) with bonding and insurance. This provides legal accountability and consumer protection that unlicensed landscapers can't offer. Arizona requires ROC licensing for landscape projects over $1,000 - verify our status at azroc.gov.

2

Equipment Ownership

We own our own professional equipment (bobcat and hydraulic trailer) to handle any size jobs and ensure we always show up prepared. This eliminates rental delays and allows better project scheduling. Equipment costs are built into our business overhead, not marked up per project like contractors who rent as needed.

3

Direct Installation Team

Our crew handles installations from excavation through final cleanup. We don't subcontract work to third parties. This provides consistent quality and clear accountability - one team, one standard, one point of contact for any issues.

4

Local Queen Creek Business

Operating from Queen Creek, we serve the East Valley with a local presence that matters. Available for warranty work with established relationships among area suppliers. Local means faster response times and community accountability.

5

Proper Installation Methods

Quality landscape installations require proper base preparation - adequate excavation depth, correct base materials, and proper compaction. Cutting corners on base work leads to settling pavers and drainage problems. We follow established installation standards for long-term results.

6

Post-Installation Support

Warranty coverage and availability for questions after project completion. Local business means accessibility for seasonal maintenance questions or warranty service. Direct contact with the contractor who handled your installation.

How We Handle Your Project

From initial consultation to post-installation support, here's what you can expect for your Queen Creek, Gilbert, or Chandler landscape project.

🏗️ Direct Installation Team

Why this matters: Our crew handles the entire installation process. No subcontractors bidding on your project. This provides consistent quality standards and clear accountability throughout the job.

  • Same crew from excavation to final cleanup
  • Team trained in our installation methods
  • No quality variance from different subcontractors
  • One point of contact for any concerns

📞 Contractor Communication

Why this matters: Questions and concerns go directly to the licensed contractor, not through sales staff or project coordinators. Direct communication reduces miscommunication and speeds problem resolution.

  • Direct contact with ROC license holder
  • Prompt response to project questions
  • No middleman between customer and decision maker
  • Same contact for warranty issues

✓ ROC License Verification

Why this matters: Arizona law requires landscape contractors to hold ROC licenses for projects exceeding $1,000. Our license (#345055) can be verified at azroc.gov, confirming active bonding and insurance coverage.

  • Verifiable Arizona ROC #345055
  • Required bonding protects customer deposits
  • Liability and workers comp insurance
  • Legal recourse through state contractor board

🏜️ Arizona Installation Knowledge

Why this matters: Arizona's desert climate requires specific installation considerations - monsoon drainage, heat-resistant materials, and soil characteristics. Local experience prevents common installation failures.

  • Drainage design for monsoon season
  • Base preparation for desert soil conditions
  • Material selection for extreme heat exposure
  • East Valley installations since 2019

📍 Local Business Presence

Why this matters: Operating from Queen Creek, we serve the surrounding East Valley. Local business location means accessibility for warranty service and familiarity with area building conditions and supplier networks.

  • Queen Creek based contractor
  • Serving East Valley communities
  • Available for local warranty service
  • Established relationships with area suppliers

💰 Transparent Pricing

Why this matters: Written estimates include material costs, labor breakdown, and expected timeline. No hidden fees or equipment rental surcharges added during the project. Changes documented and approved in writing.

  • Detailed written estimates before work begins
  • Equipment costs included in overhead, not per-project
  • Written change orders for any project modifications
  • No surprise charges at project completion

👋 Onsite Consultation

What to expect: Free onsite consultations at your property. The licensed contractor evaluates your space, discusses project goals, and provides realistic assessments of timeline and feasibility.

  • Free property evaluation and consultation
  • Assessment of existing conditions and challenges
  • Discussion of materials and design options
  • Written estimate with detailed cost breakdown

📅 Project Scheduling

What to expect: Start dates are scheduled based on material delivery and crew availability. You'll receive realistic timelines and advance notice of any delays from suppliers or weather.

  • Start dates coordinated with material delivery
  • Communication about any supplier delays
  • Weather contingencies for monsoon season
  • Direct contractor contact for scheduling questions

🏗️ Base Preparation Standards

What to expect: Excavation to proper depth with appropriate base materials and correct compaction methods. Proper base preparation prevents common failures like settling pavers and drainage problems.

  • Excavation depth suited to soil conditions
  • Approved base materials (not generic fill)
  • Proper compaction in multiple lifts
  • Drainage grading away from structures

✅ Quality Oversight

What to expect: The licensed contractor checks work at critical phases - base preparation, drainage grade, and material installation. Problems are identified and corrected during installation, not after project completion.

  • Contractor oversight at key project phases
  • Quality verification before proceeding
  • Immediate correction of any deficiencies
  • Direct access to decision maker on site

📸 Project Completion Walkthrough

What to expect: Final walkthrough with the contractor to review completed work. Any areas requiring special attention are explained, along with maintenance recommendations for Arizona conditions.

  • Comprehensive final walkthrough
  • Explanation of installation details
  • Arizona-specific maintenance guidance
  • Written warranty documentation provided

🤝 Post-Installation Availability

What to expect: Availability for warranty service and maintenance questions after project completion. Local business presence means accessibility for seasonal concerns or warranty issues.

  • Direct contractor contact for warranty issues
  • Available for maintenance questions
  • Local presence for quick service response
  • Same installation team handles warranty work

What Sets Us Apart

Here's what separates us from landscape companies that subcontract work, rent equipment, or operate as franchises managed from out of state.

How Prime Operates

Typical Contractors

Details

Licensed Contractor Oversight

  • ✓ Jordan personally oversees installations
  • ✓ Same team, trained to Prime standards
  • ✓ Daily quality checks during project
  • ✓ Direct accountability (ROC #345055)

Subcontractor Model

  • ✗ Project manager sells, crew installs
  • ✗ Subcontracted to lowest bidder
  • ✗ Different crews on different projects
  • ✗ "Not my responsibility" finger-pointing
Why Direct Oversight Matters

When the licensed contractor who quoted your Queen Creek artificial grass installation personally checks base prep and drainage, problems get caught and fixed immediately. Not months later when your turf starts settling. That's the Prime difference.

The Subcontractor Problem

Most landscape contractors bid your project out to subcontractors. Quality depends on whoever showed up cheapest that day. When issues arise, you get "talk to the sub" or "that's not how we usually do it." Nobody takes responsibility.

Equipment Ownership

  • ✓ Owned excavation and compaction equipment
  • ✓ No rental availability delays
  • ✓ Equipment costs in overhead, not per-project
  • ✓ Better scheduling reliability

Equipment Rental Model

  • ✗ Rent equipment per project
  • ✗ Schedule depends on rental availability
  • ✗ Rental markup added to customer cost
  • ✗ Delays when equipment unavailable
Equipment Ownership Benefits

Owning excavation and compaction equipment allows Prime to control project timelines independently of rental availability. Equipment investment is spread across business overhead rather than charged per project, and eliminates scheduling conflicts from rental shortages.

Rental Equipment Limitations

Contractors who rent equipment face scheduling constraints based on rental availability, particularly during busy seasons. Rental costs get marked up and passed to customers, and projects may be delayed when equipment isn't available on planned start dates.
