Most contractors give you a scribble "etch-a-sketch" design, show you some beautiful photos, and promise you the world, that they are #1 in yards and pools, etc. etc. Only to find out the photos they showed you were from the internet, the design was not to scale, the high quality products they promised were not installed, and then you hear from someone else, oh dang, that guy screwed me too.. UGGGH. So frustrating you dont know who to trust anymore.I wanted to update the backyard. Add an outdoor kitchen and a solid Redwood framed Gazebo that wouldn't collapse or sag in an El Paso windstorm like my neighbor behind me who's lasted less than two years. Ugggh.I found George @ Go Designs through a friend who lives across town. He constantly said, you got to hire these guys. Don't waste your time looking around. The other contractors will screw you, just call George. So I did, I was surprised at first, small wait time because they were booked, then a design fee, but, well worth it to get a full CAD design and drawings showing every angle of the yard in full detail so I could actually see what it would look like. This is a Professional Company, no one in El Paso does this type of quality product installation. So glad I called George. Love the perfect back yard.

George and his team at Go Design are the gold standard in El Paso for outdoor living spaces and professional landscaping. We had a tired, ugly area around our pool, and Go Design radically reinvented it. The best part: the outdoor lighting. Since they installed the new stone pavers, dividers, plants, and lights, we have hosted two big parties in our yard. If you want the best in town... we recommend Go Design. PS. You can always reach them if you hire them. They ALWAYS call you back and give you regular updates. -- Robert BettesServices: Landscape installations, Outdoor step construction, Stone masonry, Driveway or walkway paving, Garden decoration

I had the pleasure of working with GoDesigns approximately six years ago when they crafted a truly magnificent design for our Las Cruces home. To this day, I am delighted to say that our home's exterior is as stunning as it was when their work was first completed.George and his team of consummate professionals provided us with a comprehensive landscape plan that allowed us to envision the transformation of our dreams into reality. They didn't just listen to our ideas; they took our vision to heart and transformed it into an awe-inspiring reality.Our home's backyard, an enchanting creation courtesy of GoDesigns, was even featured in a magazine, highlighting the dreamy oasis they meticulously brought to life. It's a testament to their exceptional work that our outdoor haven continues to captivate.In fact, we were so pleased with their work that we returned to GoDesigns for a second project when designing the landscape for another home. The attention to detail they invest in their projects and the sheer beauty of their creations are truly worth every penny of their professional fees.With GoDesigns, you absolutely get what you pay for, and so much more. Their designs are nothing short of breathtaking, and the landscapes they craft are simply dreamy. I cannot overstate the level of praise I have for the quality of design and professionalism that George and his talented team consistently bring to every project they take on. If you're looking for excellence, look no further than GoDesigns.Services: Patio design, Landscape design, Backyard design

I contacted George Ocampo of Go Design two years ago in a last ditch effort to save a large ornamental fountain that another contractor had built only two years earlier. It was a poured concrete pool about 10 feet in diameter with a center sculpture about 6 feet high surrounded by 5 illuminated water jets. Although it looked fine for the first few days after installation, it had been installed without a real filtering system so the water soon became dirty and was virtually uncleanable without draining the whole fountain; it was also installed with all the plumbing visible at the bottom of the pool. The result was so disappointing from my initial image of a sparkling talavera tile Mexican fountain that I was seriously considering just having it removed altogether.George arrived with a team of specialists in landscaping, construction, and plumbing, listened to my story and conducted an onsite analysis of the situation. He listened carefully to what I was saying and answered my questions fully and honestly. I described to him what I had envisioned, and he promised me he could make it happen.A few days later, I received a formal bid with a firm price. He started the project a couple of weeks later, and completed it within 3 weeks. All of his staff, from laborer to manager, actually cared and took pride in their work.Once it was completed and looked exactly as I had envisioned it, they made a maintenance appointment to come back in 30 days to make sure it was still working as promised. They came back twice to make sure it was still working and I was still happy with it.EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER, I had a problem with the pump. Although it was past warranty, George still felt responsible, and he replaced it. Not repaired. Replaced.In summary, I have nothing but good things to say about George and GoDesign. They completed the project on time, for the price they had initially promised – no hidden fees or unexpected extra charges. They cared about what I wanted, and delivered the project they promised. They clearly took pride in their work and understood well the aesthetics of good design.

Go Designs is the premier design and build firm in the El Paso area. They use the best products and material, hire the best staff, and follow the best practices. Their team includes designers, architects, landscape designers, master electricians, and master plumbers. They focus on space, functionality, flow, scale, safety, and beauty. Their staff is punctual, I never once had to call and ask where their workers were. They were there every day, on time, with a main team leader there daily. If I called, they answered. If I texted, they wrote back. We were in constant communication. Anything that need changing, they were flexible and positive. They listened and were great partners with us in the design and building.Reviewing some of the other comments about the design fee, that’s what they do, it’s in the name. I’ve worked with builders who said, “tell me what you want, and I’ll build it.” This maybe fine for some, but does this consider the scale of the space? the longevity of materials? the flow from one space to another? the drainage? the viability of the plant life? the safety of the design? code compliance of design? These are not issues to take lightly. If you want someone who does it right and does it best, go with Go Designs.Services: Patio design, Grading & resloping, Outdoor water feature design, Outdoor step construction, Retaining wall design, Landscape design, Backyard design

First of all I wanted to say that it has been such a pleasure working with George and his entire team at Go Designs. I recently met with George to discuss with him the value that I feel that he brings to us as a consumer and as a homeowner. I am in the construction field as I work with contractors daily. Let me say that when it comes to detail and quality of work from design to construction, no one can compare to what George is doing. If you want the project done right you have to get the design right from the start. George will sit down with you and hear you out, then he talks about what he likes about your idea and also what he might change based off of his professional experiences. He is spot on when it comes to his recommendations. There are a few things we really wanted as far as layout and the design and he told me why he would do things differently. After reviewing the plans with my wife we are so thankful we listened to his input and decided to go with his advise. We couldn’t have been happier with the design. If you are looking to make the best decision for your investment, please do yourself a favor and hire this guy to help you get it right. Good luck on your project!

Last year I decided to completely redo my backyard. I contacted George with GoDesign and he came up with a plan that would turn my backyard into a more functional outdoor living space. My yard was nothing but dead grass, a not very useful kitchen island , and a lot of concrete. They redid the kitchen area and built a large beautiful pergola that gives plenty of shade. With new grass, landscaping, a putting green and a space for a swim spa, George and his team succeeded in turning my not so practical yard into a beautiful outdoor living space. I now have my own backyard Oasis. Thank you to the entire team at GoDesigns.

Very odd experience, much higher than prevailing rate. I was told we couldn't get an estimate without first paying $1500 for design services, and that their average projects were in the "upper teens while others are 6 figures" which seems a bit much for this area. I just hired a landscape architect for much less than their design consultation fee. It seems unprofessional and pretentious to presume to exclude competition while charging egregious rates for otherwise regular services provided by many other firms in the area.

If you are looking for quality landscaping that looks amazing, I highly recommend Go Designs! They are a polite, professional, and knowledgeable group to work with. From the design phase to the final product, I am very pleased with the work they did and my final landscaping. Thanks again team. Great job!!

Not helpful, was looking for an estimate for some work and off the bat they wanted to charge like about$1250 for design/plans. Told them I had my own plans and design and they wanted to meet to discuss with an unseen design fee!

Good experience. The reason they charge initial charge is time of creating plans. There does have a cost of time. You also get to see the design of what you are getting.
