Everything your desert yard needs, under one crew

Design, installation, irrigation, hardscaping, and maintenance — handled in-house so you have a single team accountable for the whole project.

Design & Install

Whether you're starting with bare dirt or replacing a yard that never worked, we design a complete plan around how you actually want to use the space — then install every piece of it.

  • On-site consultation and concept design
  • Plant selection suited to your light, soil, and water goals
  • Grading, soil prep, and drainage
  • Decomposed granite, boulders, and accent rock
  • Full planting and finish work

Low-Water

Desert Landscaping & Xeriscape

Xeriscaping isn't gravel and three sad cacti — done right, it's a lush, colorful, low-maintenance landscape that happens to use a fraction of the water. We specialize in desert-adapted and native designs that look great year-round.

  • Native and desert-adapted plant palettes
  • Grass-to-xeriscape conversions
  • Decomposed granite and rock groundcover
  • Accent boulders and dry creek beds
  • Lower water bills and less upkeep
  • Designs that fill in and look better every year

Water-Wise

Irrigation & Drip Systems

The right irrigation is what keeps a desert landscape alive through summer without wasting water. We design, install, and repair efficient drip systems and smart controllers — and we'll fix the one the last company botched.

  • Drip irrigation design and installation
  • Smart, weather-based controllers
  • Leak detection and system repair
  • Seasonal scheduling and adjustments
  • Valve, emitter, and line replacement
  • Water-use audits to trim your bill

Hardscaping & Pavers

  • Paver patios, walkways, and driveways
  • Block and stone retaining walls
  • Seating walls and built-in benches
  • Fire pits and fire features
  • Steps, borders, and edging
  • Proper base prep so it stays put

Maintenance

Yard Maintenance & Cleanup

A great landscape needs an occasional hand. We offer one-time cleanups and regular maintenance plans that keep plants healthy, gravel clean, and the whole yard looking its best — without you lifting a finger.

  • Recurring maintenance plans (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
  • Tree, shrub, and cactus trimming
  • Weed control and gravel refresh
  • Seasonal cleanups and storm cleanup
  • Irrigation checks with every visit
  • Plant-health monitoring and replacement

Tree Care

Tree Service & Stump Removal

From routine trimming to complete removals, we keep the trees and large cactus on your property healthy, safe, and shaped for the desert. Overgrown, storm-damaged, dead, or simply in the way — we take it down, grind the stump, and haul everything off so the spot is ready to replant or pave.

  • Tree trimming, pruning & crown thinning
  • Tree and large-shrub removal
  • Stump grinding & full stump removal
  • Palm tree trimming & skinning
  • Saguaro & cactus removal and relocation
  • Deadwooding, staking & storm-damage cleanup
  • Brush clearing and haul-away
