(1) ADAPTABILITY: Living in a drought tolerant environment calls for desert landscaping choices that can handle the little rainfall we see every year. Desert landscaping is the perfect option for the unique biome of the desert. Because of the minimal rainfall and periods of drought, adding desert plants, trees, cacti, and succulents to your landscape offer not only a low maintenance outdoor environment but a guarantee that the desert plant life you choose will be instantly acclimated to the desert climate we live in.
(2) UNIQUE BEAUTY: Desert landscaping provides year-round color and vibrance, with sensational unique seasonal blooms. If you integrate your desert landscape with natural stone and boulders, showy cacti, beautiful desert acclimated shade trees, flowering shrubs and plants, and a soothing water feature, you can create an earthly paradise to please all the senses, to be enjoyed all year round.
(3) SAVE WATER, SAVE MONEY: As previously stated, desert landscaping requires a very low-level of irrigation. This means you are saving on your water bill and being environmentally conscious at the same time. A desert landscape saves water, which is a very valuable resource in our desert ecosystem.
(4) INVESTING IN THE DESERT: Desert landscaping choices will help support and sustain the many diverse forms of flora, fauna, with plants and animals that depend on its abundance and continuity. It helps to enhance the beauty and helps in sustaining the overall survival and success of the desert ecosystem. Don’t be surprised if you see a cottontail rabbit or families of quial attracted to the natural essence of your desert landscape.
(5) SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME: If you want the lowest-maintenance and most worry-free landscape, then desert landscape is the natural and preferable choice. Your acclimated planting choices, with a little care, will thrive and provide you years of beauty and enjoyment.
Cacti are fascinating and have many adaptations to survive and thrive in the desert. There are so many types of cacti to choose from. We provide an in-house cactus nursery for all of our clients at Envirogreen. Making it easy when it comes to the selection process of choosing cacti for your desert landscape. Many have spines, which protect them from being eaten by animals, with their waxy outer covering to help retain moisture when the rainfall decides to subside. Therefore, they are a very adaptive to Arizona’s climate. In addition, a beautiful, choice for your desert outdoors, providing unique color and greenery, as well as visual appeal.
Many people collect cacti, and are awed by their unique allure, artistry and structure. You can create a delightful and exquisite cacti garden, which will become a recurring topic of conversation and admiration with the visual charm and intrigue it will offer. Once you study the various cacti, you will develop a sincere appreciation for them.
Desert landscaping with different types of cacti not only integrate very well with each other and with other plants but they require virtually no maintenance. Because of the minimal water that is needed to maintain a cacti’s existence, most remain green year-round, with beautiful seasonal blooms. They look amazing with boulders and various rock choices, creating a visually pleasing palette, reflecting and maximizing the desert’s true and inherent beauty.
The world famous Sonoran Desert that we live in, which includes the Phoenix Arizona area, (along with other parts of Arizona, southeastern California and the state of Sonora, Mexico) is lush in comparison to most other deserts. It is very rich in both habitats and species. The other three North American deserts – the Mohave, Great Basin and Chihuahuan also occur in the southwestern United States, with Arizona being the only state to have all four (now that is something to feel proud of). There are over 2,000 very unique species of plants that live and thrive in the Sonoran Desert. People travel from all over the world just to get a peek of these interesting desert plants in person.
The Sonoran Desert is thought to have the greatest species diversity of any desert in North America. So why not utilize this amazing list of species for your desert landscaping in your very own front or backyard?! Other desert life include 60 species of mammals, more than 350 species of birds, some 100 reptiles, 20 amphibians, and about 30 species of native fish. All this amazing life adds to the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The desert cacti are what most people notice, along with the beautiful rock formations, sandy washes, rolling foothills, mountains and streams.
Desert landscaping is a very popular landscape choice of the southwest, particularly in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona areas. Catering to the environment that the Sonoran Desert provides, showcases what the desert is all about. Many newcomers to the area may not be familiar with all the unique possibilities desert landscaping can provide. It iѕ nоt at all like the landscaping mоѕt реорlе from other parts of the country or the world are accustomed tо seeing. Because of the exquisite combinations of flowering plants, cacti, shrubs and trees it is truly an environment that you will encounter nowhere else in the world.
The style and expression of the Sonoran desert landscaping can thrive оnlу in dry сlimаtе аrеаs ѕuсh аѕ parts of the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico, which have the prerequisites of low precipitation, low humidity and heat. Generally, our plant life is not subject to sub-freezing temperatures. So be sure to cover your desert plants with blankets or tarps when nights get chilly in Arizona.
The sheer beauty and inspiration of a well-chosen landscape plan with these desert-adapted, wonderful plant combinations are second to none. You can experience all this beauty, while utilizing low-water irrigation and low-maintenance with your yards upkeep. Which is a win-win for everyone making it one of the best options for your landscape.
Client Love
Trusted results, thoughtful design, and outdoor spaces that make every visit feel like a retreat.
Envirogreen Landscaping is your go to for landscaping work. From the minute we met Sean, we knew we were in good hands. They did an extensive front area remodel —4100 square feet of pavers for a circular drive, re-designed the front hill by removing 20 tons of dirt and old plants, added a river bed, replaced all the granite, installed new lighting and watering system, added new plants, built stone accent walls and the list goes on. Once you give Sean a deposit and you agree on the work, he gives you a firm start and end date. Taking into account weather delays, the schedule is right on target. Our project encountered one entire week of rain but the crew worked through it (6 days a week, 7-5) and finished the project within only a few extra days from the original end date. The crew was timely, professional, pleasant and easy to deal with. If we ever had questions or needed to reach Sean, we received a return call, text or email within minutes. Having lived in Arizona for almost 50 years and dealing with many contractors, we can honestly say that Sean and Envirogreen Landscaping are the only contractors that we do not have one complaint to express. They were awesome!
As a side note, Sean and Envirogreen did a major project for our community about 5 years ago. Many of his workers are still with Envirogreen which says volumes!
We highly recommend Sean and Envirogreen Landscaping without reservation.

We recently worked with Envirogreen for a complete redesign of our yard and pool, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and dedicated to making sure our vision came to life.
What stood out the most was their ability to truly listen to our needs and preferences while still providing guidance and counsel. They offered multiple options and gave us thoughtful feedback that helped us make informed decisions along the way. The entire process was smooth and transparent – they did exactly what they said they would do, and the final outcome exceeded our expectations.
The design transformed our outdoor space into an incredible living area that we now love spending time in. It’s the perfect blend of beauty and functionality. If you’re looking for a landscape design firm that truly delivers, we highly recommend Envirogreen!
We did a complete backyard overhaul and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The project was massive — hill excavation/leveling, retaining walls, an outdoor kitchen, drainage, turf and concrete diamond designed patio, sod, curbing, privacy trees and plants, full irrigation and drip lines, and electrical work. It spanned several months and was completed during the Arizona summer, but the team handled it all with the highest priority, professionalism and care.
Gray led the project from start to finish, helping design the yard with me, managing communication, and ensuring everything stayed on track. Abraham oversaw the crew on site and made sure the workmanship was top-notch and the designs were followed down to the details.
What really stood out was the extra effort they put in — tackling one-off requests without hesitation and continuing to follow up, even years later, to make sure I was still happy with everything. That level of service is rare.
Highly recommend this team if you’re looking for high-quality work, thoughtful design, and a crew that truly stands behind what they build.
I have done remodeling at other homes we have owned, and I have never found a contractor who is so reliable, trustworthy, and communicative!
I interviewed several companies for our complete backyard remodel, and it was apparent from the beginning that Sean was the best. He came up with a creative design for our backyard that provided more privacy; an entertainment space with a bar, tv, fire pit; and an outdoor kitchen. He asks questions to understand what your needs are and how you envision yourself using your yard to come up with a 3-D rendering of your ideal space. Sean has an eye for design and thinks of the big picture and the small details.
We had to wait several months for the crew to start, but in my mind that was a good sign that Envirogreen was well sought after. They were worth the wait!
Envirogreen has their own crews, instead of a bunch of subcontractors. Their crew, led by Abraham, was punctual, reliable, and hardworking. They showed up 5-6 days a week and worked long days until our project was complete. This kind of work ethic and reliability is so rare these days.
Sean communicated with us throughout the entire process and his insights allowed us to make some decisions to improve the original plan as needed (i.e.- installed one bigger propane tank to serve our smoker, grill, fire pit, and indoor stove instead of added another smaller one).
Envirogreen does good quality work, and we are very happy with the results! When we are ready to have work done on our front yard, we will be calling Envirogreen again!
Gray and the team at Envirogreen exceeded our expectations. From design to demolition to re-building we could not be happier with the experience. They were patient in the design phase as we narrowed down our choices. Their craftsman did a great job with the travertine, the pavers, the grill construction, and the ramada installation and everything flows seamlessly. They were accommodating to the mid course corrections that come up and completed the job on-time and on budget. It is amazing how close to the original 3-D renderings it looks like. Highly recommended.

From the moment we became involved with Envirogreen we knew they cared about our project and would work with us to get the best backyard possible. The outcome proves that very first impression. We love our backyard, the work was done as quickly as possible, a couple of delays due to weather and permits. The workers were professional, on time, and worked extremely hard. I am writing this while enjoying their labor. The communication was excellent, the numerous decisions made simple and every concern was addressed. This is why I can give Envirogreen a 5 star rating. We would welcome anyone to contact us through Envirogreen, who is trying to decide on Envirogreen for their next project, I believe we will provide for a fair and positive rating. Meanwhile, we will just sit back under our ramada, listen to music, watch TV, play some games and enjoy what we call the additional living space we now have!

I cannot say enough good things about Envirogreen Landscaping. From the initial meeting, quote, start of work to completion this team was outstanding. Sean was communicative and worked with us along the way with changes to the plan without hesitation. Our project was a big undertaking when it came to squaring away proper drainage for our acre of land, and they handled it like absolute professionals.
Crew leader Abraham is courteous, hard working and respected by his team. The entire team was incredible. We knew we were in good hands from day one.
My favorite aspect that sets Envirogreen apart from other landscape teams I interviewed was that you are their focus. Your project is worked on dawn to dusk Mon-Fri (we even had a smaller crew on Saturdays). We NEVER were left wondering if anyone was going to show up or not. They start and stay daily until the project is complete.
We look forward to working with them again to tackle some things we love for our back yard in the future.
Top notch all the way. The best contracting service I’ve ever worked with. They are very talented in designing, demo, clean-up, communication, quality of work AND they run a great business. Very responsive, great at listening to your needs and working with your schedule. We had a huge backyard project with a blank canvas to work with. Ana and Gray both helped us design and optimize the space. They exceeded our expectations and we are so happy with our yard. Can’t wait to entertain this spring and summer. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Don’t look any further, go with them for all of your landscape design!
Hired Sean and his team a while back to clean up our front yard to make it simple and maintenance free. He is very professional and creates really great landscape designs. When it came to begin the project – not only did his team arrive on time, but they worked very quickly and were done with the project much faster than I expected! His pricing is very good for the quality delivered and he even followed up my husband and I six months later to make sure everything was okay (which he came out and replaced a light for us) – I’ve never had a landscaper follow up, ever! I would absolutely recommend Sean and his team to others and for future projects.
