About Scottsdale Xeriscape | Drought-Tolerant Landscaping Experts
Scottsdale Xeriscape was founded on a simple and deeply held belief — that the Sonoran Desert isn't a landscaping challenge to overcome, it's an extraordinary design opportunity waiting to be embraced. We are a locally owned and operated xeriscape and drought-tolerant landscaping company serving homeowners, businesses, and HOA communities throughout Scottsdale, AZ and the surrounding Valley, and everything we do is rooted in a genuine passion for the desert landscape we are privileged to call home.
Who We Are
Our team is made up of certified horticulture professionals, experienced landscape designers, and skilled installation crews who bring together deep botanical knowledge, creative design instinct, and hands-on desert landscaping expertise that only comes from years of working in this specific and extraordinary environment. We understand Scottsdale's soils, its microclimates, its seasonal rhythms, and the plant communities that have evolved to thrive here — and we put that understanding to work on every project we take on, from a simple front yard transformation to a complex commercial xeriscape installation.
What We Do
Our full range of xeriscape services covers every aspect of water-wise outdoor living in the Scottsdale area. Our drought-tolerant landscaping service replaces water-hungry turf and high-maintenance plants with beautiful desert landscape yards built around low-water plants, drought-resistant shrubs, xeriscape grasses, and waterwise plants that thrive on Arizona's natural rainfall patterns with minimal supplemental irrigation.
For homeowners exploring front and backyard design ideas, we bring creative vision and genuine desert design expertise to every project — from modern desert backyard transformations and mid-century modern desert landscaping to simple desert landscape ideas, desert patio ideas, desert pool landscaping ideas, and full desert oasis backyard designs that turn any outdoor space into a genuine retreat.
Our xeric garden and native plant installations draw from the Sonoran Desert's extraordinary botanical palette — saguaro companions, penstemon, desert marigold, brittlebush, ocotillo, and other waterwise plants and water-wise shrubs that attract pollinators, support local wildlife, reduce erosion, and demand very little once they are established and thriving in Scottsdale's high desert soils.
For commercial properties and HOA communities, our commercial and HOA xeriscaping services deliver professionally designed xeriscape landscaping that reduces water consumption, cuts ongoing maintenance overhead, and maintains the strong and cohesive curb appeal that Scottsdale's most discerning commercial and community properties demand.
Our landscaping design and installation process is comprehensive and client focused — covering site evaluation, water-wise landscape design, xeriscape design templates, plant selection, hardscape integration, drip irrigation conversion, and complete installation, all managed from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.
And for clients who want expert guidance without committing to a full installation, our horticulture and plant selection consulting service provides personalized plant audits, DIY xeriscape recommendations, and xeric landscape design advice tailored to your specific soil type, sun exposure, and outdoor goals.
Our Commitment
At Scottsdale Xeriscape, we are committed to delivering beautiful, lasting, and genuinely water-wise landscapes that honor the desert environment, serve our clients well, and contribute to a more sustainable Scottsdale for generations to come. We would love to help you discover what your outdoor space can become — contact us today for a free consultation.
