Real Results: Before and After Our Touch

BEFORE AFTER A bare Tucson backyard of packed dirt and rubble before work started The same backyard finished with a paver terrace, fire pit and planting

The problem:

The Alvarez family had a bare graded lot behind the house — no drainage, no shade, and nowhere flat enough to put a table. Two monsoons had washed the grade toward the back door.

What we did:

Regraded away from the house, put in a cobble dry creek to carry the runoff, laid a 540 sq ft paver terrace, built a seat wall and fire pit, kept a lawn where the kids actually play, and edged the whole thing in desert-adapted planting that carries it through July.

“They started when they said and finished when they said.”

We had three other quotes and two of them never followed up. Bravo walked the yard, drew it that week, and the price we signed was the price we paid. The terrace has been through a full summer now and has not moved.

What we do

Three trades, one crew, one price.

Everything below is done by people on our own payroll. Nothing is handed to a sub you have never met, which is why one number covers the whole job.

Hardscape

The bones of the yard — the parts that have to sit still for twenty years.

  • Paver and flagstone terraces
  • Seat walls and retaining walls
  • Fire pits and outdoor kitchens
  • Ramadas and shade structures

Landscape

Planting chosen for this climate, on irrigation sized for the plants.

  • Low-water and native planting
  • Drip irrigation and timers
  • Decomposed granite and boulders
  • Low-voltage garden lighting

Maintain

What keeps year one looking like year one. Same crew, every visit.

  • Monthly and seasonal care
  • Irrigation checks and repairs
  • Tree and cactus pruning
  • Monsoon clean-ups

Our work

Yards we finished this year.

Every one of these is a Tucson address, photographed on the day we handed it over — not a catalogue shot.

Why choose us

Four reasons people pick us over a cheaper quote.

The price you sign is the price you pay

Fixed quote off a drawing, not an hourly guess. If we hit rock or a buried line we tell you before we touch it, in writing.

One crew, start to finish

Design, hardscape, irrigation and planting are all ours. Nobody hands your yard to a sub halfway through and stops answering the phone.

Built for this climate, not a catalogue

Grades that survive a monsoon, plants that survive a June, and irrigation sized to both. Eighteen years of learning it the hard way.

Licensed, bonded and insured

AZ ROC licence, $2M liability and workers’ comp on every person on your property. Certificates before we start, not after you ask.

How it works

From first call to first barbecue.

We walk the yard

Free, about an hour, no sales pitch. We look at the grade, the drainage and what the sun does to it in August.

You see a drawing

Within a week: a plan, real plant names, and a fixed price broken down by part so you can cut a line if you want to.

We build it

A start date and an end date in the contract. One foreman, one phone number, photos at the end of every day.

We hand it over

We walk it with you, set the timers, and leave a one-page sheet on what to water and when. Two-year warranty on the build.

What Tucson says about us.

Third quote we got and the only one that came with a drawing. The terrace has been through a monsoon and a summer and it has not shifted a millimetre.

MA Marisol A.Sam Hughes Google

They found a buried irrigation line nobody knew about, stopped, called me, and sent a photo before doing anything. That is the whole review really.

DR Dana R.Oro Valley Yelp

We have used them for the build and then monthly maintenance for four years. Same two guys turn up. My dog knows them better than she knows me.

About Bravo Brothers

Two brothers, then nine of us.

Beto and Marco Bravo started in 2008 with one truck, a plate compactor and a front yard on Fort Lowell. Eighteen years later there are nine of us and the same rule: if we quoted it, we build it.

We stayed small enough that one of the brothers is on every job at least once a week, and big enough to carry our own hardscape, irrigation and planting crews instead of renting them.

  • AZ ROC licensed, bonded and insured to $2M
  • Every crew member on our own payroll
  • Two-year warranty on everything we build
  • Free consultation, and a real drawing before you pay anything

Service area

Landscaping across the Old Pueblo.

We work a 35-mile radius of downtown Tucson. If you are outside it, call anyway — we will tell you honestly whether it is worth our drive or yours.

Before you call

The questions everybody asks.

What does a backyard actually cost?

A paver terrace with a seat wall and planting lands between $14,000 and $30,000 for most Tucson lots, depending on square footage and how much regrading it needs. Front-yard xeriscapes start around $6,000. You get a fixed number on a drawing before you commit to anything.

How long from signing to finished?

Two to four weeks on site for a typical backyard, and we are usually booking five to seven weeks out. Both dates go in the contract.

Do you charge for the consultation or the drawing?

No. The visit, the plan and the fixed quote are free, and the drawing is yours whether you hire us or not.

Will my yard survive a Tucson summer?

That is the whole job. Plants are chosen for this climate, irrigation is sized to them, and we set the timers before we leave. Anything we plant that fails in the first two years we replace.

What happens when the monsoon hits a fresh build?

We grade away from the house first and put drainage in before anything decorative goes down. If your yard already floods, say so on the call — it changes the plan, not the price.

Do you do maintenance after the build?

Yes, and about two thirds of our build clients stay on it. Same crew that built it, monthly or seasonal, cancel any time.
