Unique Landscaping in Arizona

Many Arizona homeowners are overwhelmed by the task of landscaping their properties. They aren’t sure how to get plants to grow in the desert’s dry climate without using a lot of water. Fortunately, there are many unique plants native to this desert environment that can survive drought conditions. When paired with well-designed hardscape features such as a pool, fire pit or built-in grill you can have the landscape of your dreams.

The upgrades: All of our Phoenix residents are content with the basics, but those serious about outdoor living have got to “splurge” with a few of the Arizona “must-have’s”! The builder patio (10’ wide x 10’ long) is out, and patio extensions are in! Most of our landscape designs factor in more patio space, and entertainment features such as a small fire pit, swimming pool, water feature or barbecue island. A good landscape project has something different, a focal feature, etc. These items do require our clients to increase their landscape budget a bit, but it’s well worth it – for the immediate impact in their new backyard landscape.
