The UNIQUE Companies- How We Earned Our Name

by

Only one company in Phoenix can build you a swimming pool complete with a private lazy river, and island with a pool house, and water jets springing out of the landscape. This is truly a UNIQUE project.

According to Merriam-Webster, the term UNIQUE means being the only one or being without an equal. And when Chris Griffin started the UNIQUE Companies nearly two decades ago, he was determined to live up to that definition by creating a one of a kind full-service outdoor living company. From a technical perspective, Mr. Griffin’s background as a civil engineer made him the perfect problem solver to determine what, in the pool and landscape industry, needed to change. And also, the man with both the necessary education and desire to find solutions that would work for his customers.

The Process

Meet Chris Griffin, the man with a UNIQUE vision about how to make creating your perfect outdoor living space should be fun and stress-free.

Just like those first trees that were planted in the early days of Unique Landscapes by Griffin, the UNIQUE Companies have thrived, branched out, and created a strong root structure that provides support in challenging times. But the big question is, how has Chris Griffin been able to keep UNIQUE as original as it was on day one and a perineal leading in the industry? And that answer is not a simple word or two, because it has been a long and arduous task of nurturing the company’s strengths and trimming off the dead weight. But the result has been well worth the years of dedication from Chris and from the knowledgeable team that he has built to help him cultivate the UNIQUE Companies.

We Are THE Only Company You Need For
Outdoor Living Spaces

This entire vision is the work of a single company. And when you have a UNIQUE vision like this, you can only trust a UNIQUE company to bring your dream to life. Possibly the most significant achievement in growing UNIQUE was Chris’s desire to provide customers with an authentic one-stop shopping experience. Anyone who has built a new home or renovated landscape and added a pool knows that coordinating a handful of contractors can be a full-time job. And not a pleasant one in many cases. You would hope that all contractors could remain professional at all times and work together to create the client’s dream outdoor space. But that is a rare if not extinct occurrence. Unless you are working with UNIQUE.

After earning his civil engineering degree in 1997, Chris set his sights on obtaining three Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses. And in

2003, he received his licenses for landscape, swimming pool, and general contracting. This bold step made UNIQUE the only company in Arizona to hold the necessary licenses to complete any outdoor project its customers desired. And to complete all of the phases of the project in-house with UNIQUE employees and not subcontractors. Now customers never need to worry about lack of communication between the pool builder, the landscaper, and the crew that is building the shade structure. They are all being done by one company. So when you sign a contract with UNIQUE, you have one point of contact for the entire project. Your job superintendent runs the whole show, and you can just sit back and watch as the UNIQUE craftsmen create your personal dream outdoor living space
