Landscape design & build / North Scottsdale

At home in the upper desert.

North Scottsdale properties can open to broad views, native vegetation, and more varied terrain. A strong landscape adds usable outdoor rooms while keeping the surrounding Sonoran Desert part of the experience.

Design for the place
you call home.

We review the property and your priorities before recommending a layout or material direction.

01

Work with the terrain

Walk the site before drawing patios, paths, or walls; grade and existing vegetation shape the plan.

02

Frame open views

Place shade and planting where they create comfort without closing off the landscape.

03

Use considered light

Entry and path lighting should serve people while limiting glare and spill.

A common question in North Scottsdale

Does North Scottsdale require a different planting approach?

The existing desert, exposure, elevation, and community guidelines can change the right plant palette. Scottsdale’s Sensitive Design principles call for design that responds to natural terrain and arid-region materials.
