FAQs

Quick answers to common questions.

Yes, low-maintenance landscape design is one of our specialties, especially important in El Paso's climate. We achieve this by selecting drought-tolerant plants requiring minimal pruning, incorporating native species adapted to local conditions with natural disease resistance, using rock mulch or gravel to eliminate organic mulch replacement, designing efficient drip irrigation to minimize watering tasks, and grouping plants by water needs for easier maintenance. Low-maintenance landscapes can be just as beautiful as high-maintenance designs while requiring significantly less time, water, and money to maintain.
Absolutely. We provide complete design-build landscape services. This integrated approach offers several advantages: seamless transition from design to installation ensuring your vision is executed correctly, single point of contact and accountability throughout the project, cost efficiency by eliminating coordination between separate design and installation contractors, and quality control as the team implementing your design understands the designer's intent. If you prefer, we can also provide design-only services with detailed plans for other contractors to install.
The best plants for El Paso landscapes are drought-tolerant species adapted to alkaline soil, temperature extremes, and low humidity. Top performers include Texas sage (Leucophyllum) for colorful blooms with near-zero water needs, desert marigold for year-round color, red yucca for architectural interest and hummingbird attraction, Mexican feather grass for movement and texture, autumn sage for pollinator support, and palo verde trees for filtered shade. During design consultation, we'll recommend specific plants based on your property's sun exposure, soil conditions, and aesthetic preferences.
Landscape design costs vary based on project scope and property size. Initial design consultations are typically free, allowing us to understand your vision and provide accurate pricing. Design fees for residential properties generally range from $500-$2,000 depending on complexity, with larger or more elaborate designs at the higher end. Many clients choose our design-build services where design costs are integrated into the complete project price. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your budget and create a design approach that maximizes value while achieving your landscape goals.
Yes, we frequently design landscape renovations that incorporate existing healthy plants while refreshing overall appearance. We'll assess your current landscaping to identify plants worth keeping, recommend replacements for struggling specimens, suggest new plants to fill gaps and add interest, and redesign layouts to improve flow and aesthetics. Renovation projects often cost less than complete landscape replacements while delivering dramatic improvements. We can also phase renovation projects to spread costs over time, tackling high-priority areas first and completing remaining sections later.
Yes, proper irrigation design is integral to successful El Paso landscapes. Our landscape designs include irrigation planning with drip irrigation for planting beds to deliver water directly to root zones, zoned systems grouping plants by water requirements, smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather conditions, and efficient sprinkler placement for turf areas if included. Proper irrigation design reduces water waste, promotes healthier plants, and lowers utility costs. We can design new irrigation systems or modify existing systems to better serve new landscape designs.
