Desert Planting / Phoenix Valley

Let the desert lead.

A desert landscape can be layered, colorful, and welcoming. Planting choices should respond to the site, the architecture, the amount of shade, and the way you want to live outside.

What we consider

One decision at a time.
One complete landscape.

Every property has a different layout, use, and set of existing conditions. We begin with a conversation and a closer look at the site.

01

Choose the right palette

We consider scale, form, color, and mature growth so planting feels intentional over time.

02

Make shade part of the plan

Trees and structures already on site influence how the landscape looks and how it is used.

03

Align planting and water

Grouping plants by needs and planning water systems together can make the landscape easier to support.

A question worth asking

Does desert landscaping have to mean gravel and cactus only?

No. Desert-adapted trees, shrubs, flowering plants, and groundcovers can create varied outdoor spaces. The City of Phoenix and other Valley communities publish plant and xeriscape guides that show the range of choices.
