Our Services

Complete Landscape & Hardscape Design-Build

Every service below is delivered by the same team, from first sketch to final walkthrough — no subcontracted design, no handoffs.

01 — Landscape Design

Landscape Design & Installation

We design planting plans around the Sonoran Desert's own palette — native and desert-adapted species chosen for structure, seasonal color, and minimal water use — then install every tree, shrub, and groundcover ourselves.

  • Master landscape plans & 3D concept renderings
  • Native and low-water desert planting design
  • Drainage, grading & drip irrigation systems
  • Artificial turf & putting green installation

02 — Hardscape & Masonry

Hardscape & Natural Stone Masonry

Travertine, flagstone, and quarried stone hand-set by our own masons — patios, walkways, seat walls, and privacy walls built to the same standard as the home they surround.

  • Travertine, flagstone & paver patios
  • Retaining, seat & privacy walls
  • Dry-stack and mortared natural stone masonry
  • Pathways, steps & motor courts

03 — Outdoor Living

  • Custom outdoor kitchens & built-in bars
  • Covered dining & lounge pavilions
  • Pizza ovens, kegerators & premium appliance integration
  • Stone, stucco & tile finish work to match your home

04 — Fire & Water

  • Fountains, bubblers & sheeting water walls
  • Custom stone & steel fire feature surrounds
  • Non-pool water features and decorative basins

05 — Shade Structures

Ramadas, Pergolas & Shade

Custom timber and steel ramadas and pergolas, scaled and finished to match your home's architecture — because a Valley backyard lives or dies by its shade.

  • Custom timber & steel ramadas
  • Motorized and fixed shade pergolas
  • Privacy screens & shade sails
  • Integrated fans, heaters & misting systems

06 — Lighting

Landscape & Architectural Lighting
