Tempe Climate and Geography

As you might have imagined, Tempe has a desert climate characterized by high temperatures, zero humidity, and little to no rain year-round. Temperatures reach astounding highs during the day and plummet at night. The topography likewise consists of desert flora and fauna, replete with many different cactus species, succulents, tumbleweeds, and sandy, mineral-rich soil.
We are experienced landscapers who have spent years living in Tempe's arid desert climate and topography, providing a wealth of knowledge on the plants and trees that thrive in desert conditions. We know that our experience will serve you well for landscaping and plant maintenance, so you can enjoy blossoming surroundings for years to come.

Landscaping Services

Our landscapers in Tempe offer numerous landscaping services that cover every angle of the landscaping process, from design to long-term upkeep. We will go over these services in greater detail to give you an idea of the work and variation involved in landscaping your home or workplace.

Lawn and Tree Services

We are experts in lawn and tree planting and maintenance. There are various options when it comes to yards. We look for heat and drought-resistant grasses to install that won't brown or die with harsh summers and dry, cold winters. After installing the lawn, we offer weekly or monthly mowing and leaf-blowing services for general upkeep.
Another option that appeals to many busy homeowners is laying down synthetic turf, which will always be green, won't cause allergies, and requires little to no regular maintenance. There is also the option to lay gravel, rocks, or sand for a grass-free lawn that mirrors Tempe's native environment.
We also install trees of all sizes and perform routine pest and fungus checks along with trimming services to ensure that trees remain healthy and grow properly.

Landscape Design

Landscape design includes a delicate balance between nature and aesthetics. Landscape designers work with clients to bring their visions to fruition by offering them innovative ideas on how to enhance their yard's beauty through strategic placement of plants, trees, shrubs, and hardscaping structures.
We realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that every vision of landscaping perfection depends on personal taste. Therefore, landscape design involves a fair share of customization to the client's wishes and preferences. You can be sure to expect various consultations to communicate and collaborate on your landscaping vision.
The consultation also includes budget estimates for the initial landscaping installment as well as annual budgets for maintenance services.

Hardscaping

Landscaping isn't just about plants, it's also about built-in structures that improve our experiences of our outdoor surroundings. Hardscaping is the addition of man-made structures to our front and backyards that complement landscaping or provide additional luxuries that you might find inside the home. 

A common hardscaping trend in the desert is the insertion of large desert rocks or boulders that add to the desert feel while also providing an attractive, almost sculpture-like aesthetic for your lawn. Another hardscaping structure would be paved walkways and lighting to illuminate them and surrounding trees or other plants, creating beautiful shadows for nocturnal visits or parties to enjoy. 

Here is a list of other great hardscaping structures you might consider for your home:

• Waterfalls and other wáter features
  
• Limestone stepped plant beds
  
• Curbing & Borders
  
• Firepits
  
• Flagstone Caps
  
• Patios 
  
• Decks
  
• Slate
  
• Walls

Maintenance

Once your landscaping dreams have become a reality, you will need to employ maintenance services, so your landscaping can grow and thrive. Tempe landscapers offer yearly maintenance task schedules that cover all the bases for preventative care and routine upkeep. 

Maintenance services include assessments of lawn, plants, and trees to check for pests or fungal infestations. They also include lawn mowing, leaf blowing and collecting, and plant bed weeding. Another essential maintenance task concerns arbor health, consisting of tree trimming, dead tree extractions, stump grinding, and root fertilization.

Plant Selection

Plant selection is a very personal and creative process that landscapers are happy to help you with. There are numerous reasons for choosing plants, such as color and shape, fragrance, drought-resistance, shade provision, and lifespan. All reasons are valid, and many plants fulfill multiple purposes. 

Because Tempe is a hot and sunny desert environment, trees and shrubs that provide ample shade are highly desirable, transforming your yard into an oasis. Plants should also have the ability to withstand high temperatures and major temperature fluctuations, and they should receive ample nourishment from sandy arid soils endemic to Arizona.

We provide a shortlist of drought-resistant plants and trees to get you started on your plant selection research.

• Plants, flowers, and shrubbery:
  
• Lantana
  
• salvia,
  
• verbena
  
• cosmos
  
• marigold,
  
• agave cactus
  
• Mexican feather grass
  
• Joshua tree cactus

Drought resistant trees:

• jacaranda 
  
• cypress 
  
• ponderosa pine 
  
• ash 
  
• mesquite trees

Irrigation

In a place as dry as Tempe, irrigation is essential. Instead of standard sprinklers and hoses, we recommend utilizing a drip irrigation system that prizes water conservation. Drip irrigation is the most efficient way to water your plants because it allows for minimal water consumption. Water drops travel through the tubing, valves, and emitters directly to a plant's roots. Since water arrives directly to the roots, this minimizes evaporation, soil erosion, and weed growth, not to mention energy and water bills. 

Conclusion

We have provided a brief overview of the different landscaping services that comprise the planning, creation, and maintenance processes that Tempe landscapers will guide you through. Tempe landscapers will work with you to envision the look you want, choose the plants, lawn, and trees that fit that look and withstand Tempe weather, and, once the landscaping installment is finished, they will perform regular checkups and maintenance.

We hope you are as excited as we are to begin your landscaping journey.
