Desert landscape planting / Desert Mountain

Planting that belongs at Desert Mountain.

At Desert Mountain, planting can soften outdoor rooms without hiding the land that gives the property its identity. Scale, mature form, water needs, and the transition to native desert all deserve attention.

A site-specific approach

Start with the property. Build from there.

The right answer depends on the actual lot, the way you live outside, and the scope that makes sense for this place.

01

Read the native edge

Study existing vegetation and how the designed landscape meets the surrounding desert.

02

Layer for comfort

Use appropriate trees and shrubs to provide shade, privacy, and visual depth.

03

Coordinate the water plan

Group plants by water needs and check the applicable community palette and review path.

A practical question in Desert Mountain

Can a Desert Mountain landscape use non-native plants?

The appropriate palette depends on the property’s HOA guidelines and the location of planting on the lot. Review the current design criteria before selecting species or promising a particular composition.

The wider setting

At Desert Mountain, the landscape is part of the reason to be outside. An outdoor plan should give people comfortable places to gather while respecting native vegetation, topography, and the community’s review process.
