About Us

Welcome to Rising Tide Landscapes, where we truly care about people, quality, and community. At our core, we believe that a rising tide lifts all boats, and our mission is to be that tide for everyone involved with our company – from our employees to our valued customers.

Why Choose Us?

You’ve probably heard it before: “We’re the best, we’re number one.” But at Rising Tide Landscapes, we don’t just say it – we prove it through our actions and our results. Here’s how:

We stand by the quality of our work. Every project we undertake is backed by our comprehensive 5-year workmanship guarantee. This means you can trust that our installations will stand the test of time, and if there are any defects in our workmanship, we’ll make it right at no cost to you. It’s our promise to you, because we believe in the value of your hard-earned dollars.

Our company isn’t just about profits; it’s about people. We invest in our employees and trade partners by offering competitive wages and excellent benefits. Our goal is to create a workplace where our team is happy, motivated, and well-trained. Studies show that happy employees deliver the best service, and that’s exactly what we want for you.

We don’t just hire skilled workers; we cultivate them. Our certification program ensures that every team member is continuously learning and improving. From customer service and safety to the technical aspects of landscape installations, our employees strive to be the best. This commitment to excellence translates into top-tier service for you.

We believe in making a positive impact both locally and globally. That’s why a percentage of all our profits go to Charity: Water, an organization dedicated to providing clean drinking water to those in need. Locally, we support various community initiatives because we care about where we live and work. One example is Mission BBQ.

We only use the best products, chosen for their durability and backed by strong warranties. Our installations are meticulous because we believe in doing the job right the first time. We use top-tier materials, ensuring that what’s out of sight is as reliable as what’s in view. Our aim is to avoid call-backs, though we’d love to come back for a BBQ!

Your satisfaction is our success. From the moment we start your project to long after it’s completed, we are committed to exceeding your expectations. Your referrals and repeat business are the highest compliments we can receive.

We believe in working smarter, not harder. By investing in advanced tools and technology, we can deliver high-quality results efficiently and safely. This approach not only benefits our team but also ensures you get the best service possible.

At Rising Tide Landscapes, we believe in a simple formula: Happy employees make happy customers, and happy customers lead to a successful business. We push our employees to grow, support them in their personal and professional lives, and in turn, they deliver outstanding service to our clients. This cycle of care and excellence benefits everyone involved.

Thank you for considering Rising Tide Landscapes for your landscaping needs. We are excited to work with you and show you the difference true care and quality can make.

Let’s create something beautiful together!

Cohen Russell | The Sixth Man
 

Eric Russell, known by his peers as Cohen, carries a name steeped in family tradition being named after his father and called by his middle name. Currently, Cohen thrives as the “sixth man” at Rising Tide Landscapes. His unconventional approach? Knocking on doors in dirt-filled backyards, jumping on a crew to help where needed, taking the time to learn the business. His smile is infectious, and you can’t help but say yes. While he manages all we can throw at him as the sixth man, he will have time to begin to chase his real dream – designing lush, captivating backyards that flat out wow folks. You might see him if you live in Buckeye, Peoria, Mesa, Laveen, Scottsdale, or anywhere else holding new builds with that promising dirt back yard!

Outside the bustling world of landscaping, Cohen’s heart beats for adventure. With his wife and daughter by his side, he dreams of traversing the United States—a journey fueled by curiosity and the desire to explore every nook and cranny of this vast land. Picture them in their first home, planning road trips, collecting memories, and discovering hidden gems. Cohen’s passion extends to more than just landscapes; it’s about creating a life rich in experiences.
When Cohen isn’t knocking on doors or spending quality time with his beautiful wife & daughter, he immerses himself in other interests. The garage becomes his sanctuary, where he meticulously tends to the cosmetics of his car—a labor of love that mirrors his approach to landscaping. And the gym? It’s where he refuels, sculpting both body and mind. Outside of his family, one of his greatest joy lies in quality time with friends. Whether sharing laughter over coffee, UFC pay-per-views on Saturday nights or embarking on spontaneous adventures – Cohen knows that life, like a well-designed backyard, thrives when nurtured with care and intention.
