The owners of Desert Escapes Landscaping, Clayton and Amanda Rivard, have filed for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy on 5/28/2021. Having stated that fact, please be advised not to use this company for a myriad of reasons, some being; poor quality in workmanship, no control or oversight of the project, poor project management, completely unreliable on timelines and doesn't show up to work when promised. Clayton appears to be the nicest man, but basically he is a common con man who will tell you what you want to hear but will take your money without delivering what was promised. Clayton says he will give you a payment plan, but in time he will make excuses about why he cannot make progress on the project and will ask for more of an advance ($$) on the project, which essentially is a stall on the project. We were informed by a former employee that he was using our money to fund other projects. We paid a substantial amount of money to him, he accepted it with promises to complete the project and never showed up to do the work. We filed a complaint with the Arizona Registrar of Contractor, which escalated to a citation that turned into a court hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings. At that time disciplinary actions were taken and his ROC license was suspended. A second Office of Administrative Hearing was held and after 2 frustrating years, we won our case. Clayton was given further disciplinary actions and this time his ROC license will not be renewed. I am writing this so no one else is ever in the same situation as we found ourselves in. I wish I didn't have to leave a "star-rating" because this company (and owners) does not deserve any.
