Design FAQ

Is the design fee separate from the build?

Design is a standard part of the industry. In many cases, the design investment is applied toward the overall project.

Can I take the design and build it later?

Yes. However, designs created in-house are optimized for how we build — which is where the biggest value comes from.

What types of plants do you recommend for my landscape?

We recommend drought-tolerant, desert-adapted plants that thrive in Arizona’s climate. During the design phase, we select species based on your property’s sun exposure, soil conditions, water availability, and the aesthetic you’re going for — balancing beauty with long-term sustainability.

How long does the design process typically take?

Most residential designs take 2–4 weeks depending on project complexity. We work closely with you through revisions until the plan reflects exactly what you want before any construction begins.

Do you offer maintenance services after installation?

Yes. Our maintenance team handles plant care, irrigation adjustments, weed control, trimming, and seasonal updates. Because we designed and built your landscape, we understand exactly how to maintain it for lasting performance.
