Through consultation and detailed assessment of your site, we strive to design a garden that both suits the site, your preferences, and the desert environment. Upon completion of the Zona Garden design process, you will have a planting plan that enables you to see the potential of your garden and to proceed with a clear vision throughout the installation process. To view photos of our work, click on Portfolio, then select, “Landscape Design”.
What We Don’t Do
High-maintenance, water-intensive landscapes comprised of plants that are ill-adapted and fickle in our desert climate. We steer clear of fussy bedding annuals, fake waterfalls, silly-shaped lawns, and designs that overuse hardscape materials. I am not an architect, and if structural work is to be done that is beyond my skills, I will recommend architects and/or engineers.
Where We Work
Our practice, and most of our work, is in and around Tucson, but we work in Phoenix as well. We also consider design work in Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Albuquerque, Las Cruces, El Paso, and Marfa. Additionally, we can design for cities in the Intermountain West such as Boise, Denver, and Salt Lake City.

Landscaping Tips
Though your home is your castle, there is no necessity to surround it with a moat. Here are 5 tips that will help you to make your landscaping feel more warm, welcoming and cozy.
1. Put some flowers nearby your entrance. Flowers make any area look more welcoming and attractive, so greeting your guests with Petunia, Snapdragon, Lily-of-the-Nile or some other garden flowers is always a great thing to do. What is more, to add some space between your house and the entrance, you can consider adding a little white fence. It will create an illusion that your front yard is bigger than it actually is. What is more, adding fence will create a great space for planting flowers to add some color and coziness.
2. Add rambling vines to make your yard look absolutely lovely. You can not deny that rambling vines always create romantic and even magical atmosphere. So why not to use this tip while decorating your yard?
3. To hide the unattractive driveway, consider adding some color, texture, and height. You can easily do it by adding various sorts of flowers. To start, create an island of green lawn right in the hub of a drive. Then add a couple of low boxwood hedges with flowers toward the back of your island.
4. If you want your yard to blossom and flourish bust still do not have enough time to maintain it, consider planting low-fuss lilies. Such flowers look absolutely gorgeous and come in the variety of rainbow hues, so you can pick the one you love most. What is more, low-fuss lilies do not care about the sort of soil, they love the sun and welcome hot, they do not afraid of drought. In other words, Crinums is an ideal flower for all those who are looking for low-maintenance solutions.
5. The last tip also touches the low-maintenance aspect. To make your life easier, group plantings into beds and islands. This will help you to avoid mowing and trimming around each individual plant, save a lot of time and even money.
