The Firm

Fewer projects. Held to a higher standard.

Helix Landscape Design & Construction builds resort-caliber outdoor environments across Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Chandler and Scottsdale. We are a design-build firm, which means the people who draw your plan are the people accountable for building it.

We take on a limited number of estates each year so every project gets a dedicated superintendent, self-performed masonry and finish crews, and weekly reporting you don't have to chase. That structure is why our work photographs well years later, not just the week it was handed over.

Capabilities

What we build

Most clients engage us for a full backyard transformation, but every scope below can be delivered as a standalone phase of a longer master plan.

01

Custom Estate Design

Full-property master planning: grading, circulation, planting architecture and the sightlines that make an estate feel composed rather than assembled.

02

New Pool Construction

Zero-edge, perimeter-overflow and geometric vessels engineered for Arizona soil, with spas, baja shelves and integrated automation.

03

Pool Remodels

Resurfacing, glass and stone tile, new coping, water features and equipment modernization that resets the life of the vessel.

04

Custom Masonry

Fire and water features, seat walls, ramadas and architectural stone laid by our own crews, never subbed and never rushed.

05

Stone, Pavers & Travertine

French-pattern travertine, large-format porcelain and honed concrete set to tolerances you can feel underfoot.

06

Turf, Courts & Lighting

Putting greens, pickleball and basketball courts, low-voltage LED lighting and outdoor audio, all designed in from day one.

  • Equipment & automation upgrades
  • Lighting, turf & planting refresh

  • Photoreal 3D renderings
  • Material & finish boards
  • Phased master planning

Financing

Build now, pay over time

Many of our clients fund their project through a home improvement loan rather than pulling from savings. We'll introduce you to lending partners who specialize in pool and outdoor living projects, then work to your approved budget.

Pre-qualify

A soft credit check gives you a working budget before design begins.

Fixed terms

Simple monthly payments with no prepayment penalty from most lenders.

Draw schedule

Funds release by construction milestone, so you pay for progress.

Financing is provided by third-party lenders. Approval, rates and terms are set by the lender and are not guaranteed by Helix.

Products & Materials

Specified once, built to last.

We install proven, warrantied product lines and show you full-size samples during design so nothing is a surprise on install day.

Travertine & Pavers

French pattern travertine, large-format porcelain and premium concrete pavers.

Pool Finishes

Pebble and quartz interiors, glass and stone waterline tile, natural stone coping.

Equipment & Automation

Variable-speed pumps, heaters, sanitation and app-based control.

Turf, Lighting & Audio

Multi-tone synthetic turf, low-voltage LED and weatherproof outdoor audio.

Selected Work

Built for the way Arizona lives outdoors.

The Process

Four phases, one team

I

Discovery

A property walk and budget conversation. We confirm scope, site constraints and whether Helix is the right firm for the work.

II

Design

Concept plans, material boards and 3D renderings so you approve the finished space before a single trench is cut.

III

Build

Permits, engineering and self-performed crews under one superintendent. Weekly progress reporting, no phase hand-offs.

IV

Handover

Systems walkthrough, planting care plan and a warranty file. We stay reachable long after the final invoice.

Investment

Projects begin at $45,000

We publish our minimum out of respect for your time. Below that number we can't staff a project with the crews, engineering and oversight our standard requires, and we'd rather tell you now than three weeks into a design.

$45k – $90k
Focused scope

Hardscape, turf, a masonry feature and lighting complete a defined portion of the yard.

$90k – $180k
Full backyard

New pool or major remodel with decking, shade structure, kitchen and planting.

$180k+
Estate program

Whole-property master plan: pool and spa, courts, ramadas, water features, phased delivery.

Ranges reflect typical completed Helix projects. Final investment depends on site conditions, access, engineering and material selections.
