How often should I water my lawn in Phoenix?
During summer months in Phoenix, established lawns typically need watering 3-4 times per week. In winter, reduce to 1-2 times per week. Always water deeply rather than frequently to encourage strong root growth. Watering should be done in early morning (before 8 AM) to minimize evaporation.
What types of plants work best in Phoenix's climate?
Native and desert-adapted plants thrive in Phoenix. Consider agave, cactus, desert marigold, red yucca, lantana, and bougainvillea. These drought-tolerant options require minimal water once established while providing beautiful colors and textures. We can help design a landscape using plants perfectly suited to Arizona's climate.
How long does artificial grass last in Arizona?
Quality artificial grass installed by professionals can last 15-20 years in Arizona. Our premium synthetic turf is designed to withstand intense sun exposure and high temperatures while maintaining its appearance. With proper maintenance, it remains green and functional year-round.
What maintenance does a paver patio need?
Paver patios require minimal maintenance. We recommend sweeping regularly, occasional rinsing with water, and reapplying polymeric sand every 3-5 years. For added protection, sealant application every 3-4 years helps preserve color and prevents weed growth between pavers.
Do you offer landscaping maintenance services?

How long does a typical landscaping project take?
Project timelines vary by scope. Simple refreshes might take 2-3 days, while comprehensive landscape transformations can take 2-4 weeks. Factors affecting timeline include project size, complexity, material availability, and weather conditions. We provide estimated completion timeframes with every proposal.
What's the best time of year for landscaping projects in Phoenix?
Fall and winter (October through February) are ideal for most landscaping projects in Phoenix. The cooler temperatures are better for plant establishment and outdoor construction work. However, we work year-round and can schedule your project at any time that's convenient for you.
