Landscape Installation

Desert Landscaping & Xeriscaping in Las Vegas

Xeriscape conversions that cut water use while still looking designed, built from rock, drought-tolerant planting, and hardscape working together rather than a gravel lot.

Great job. Cleaned up very well. Ezra is very knowledgeable about desert plants.

Why this matters

A lot of xeriscape conversions end up looking like a yard someone gave up on — rock dumped flat, no structure. Done well, desert landscaping uses grading, plant layering, and hardscape the way a traditional lawn uses grass: with intention, not by default. That starts with zoning the yard. High-visibility areas near the entry and windows get more design attention and plant density; side yards and background space can run leaner. The water and the budget go where they're actually seen.

Our process

  1. 01

    Site walk & design conversation

    We look at your yard, sun exposure, drainage, and existing plantings, and talk through what will hold up in Las Vegas conditions.

  2. 02

    Written scope & estimate

    Materials, base prep, and scope are spelled out in writing before installation begins.

  3. 03

    Proper base & prep work

    Pavers, turf, and rock installations live or die on base prep. We grade, compact, and layer correctly the first time.

  4. 04

    Installation & final walkthrough

    We install to spec and walk the finished space with you before calling the job complete.

Desert Landscaping & Xeriscaping FAQs

Converting a traditional lawn to a desert landscape typically cuts that area's water use dramatically, since drought-tolerant plants and rock groundcover need far less irrigation than turf grass.
