Desert Landscape Design AZ Front Yard

by Tami Cascio on May 17, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Posted In: Landscape Design, Yard Remodel

Arizona Desert Landscape Design

New Desert landscape design revamp. We took an existing basic front yard landscape in Gilbert, Arizona and recreated a front yard with WOW!  We took out most of the existing plants and installed new plants, new rock, a river bed, a tree and cultured stone on the front pillars of the house and the driveway pillars.  We also installed landscape lighting for visual affect.  These are all desert adapted plants and a low maintenance xeriscape yard.  Check out our other desert landscape design pictures

Arizona spring garden maintenance

by Tami Cascio on April 8, 2013 at 5:35 pm
Posted In: Desert Gardening, Organic Gardening, Tips and Tricks

It’s time to prepare your garden to transition from the cool-season flowers and plants to the warm-season planting. Pull spent plants and weeds, rake up leaf debris, and layer 4 to 6 inches of compost or manure on top of the soil to dig in before replanting.
Fertilize roses every six weeks to prepare for their major spring bloom period. This starts in April. If you didn’t feed your citrus trees in January, then do so now with one third of the trees’ total annual nitrogen requirement. Apply nitrogen to deciduous fruit trees when they begin to leaf out. Winter Rye grass needs fertilization once a month. Your bermuda lawn also needs nurishment to prepare for it’s spring arrival. Wait to fertilize tropical plants until danger of frost is over. The last frost is usually mid-March. Native plants do not need fertilization. Pinch or snip off spent annual flowers to promote continuous bloom.

When in doubt, contact a local Landscape Contractor for you lawn maintenance or installation.

Arizona Desert spring vegetable guide

by Tami Cascio on April 8, 2013 at 5:31 pm
Posted In: Desert Gardening, Desert Plant Guide, Organic Gardening

Ever wonder what vegetables work here in the Arizona desert? Arizona’s planting guide is very different from everywhere else in the United States. Fortunately, for us we have 2 or even 3 planting cycles. We have our spring crop, summer crop, and fall/winter crop. It is April in the Arizona low desert and time to get your vegetable garden going before the real heat hits. Below is a guide of what to plant in April in Arizona.

Beans – Blackeye. These perform well in the full summer heat.
Corn – Flour, Ornamental, Popcorn, and Sweet. These need to be planted in April and again in July/August. The supersweet variety needs very war soil to sprout.
Cucumber – Armenian and Standard. Plant in April and again in AugustThe Armenian withstands the heat better then the standard. The standard must be harvested frequently for best quality.
Eggplant – Plant now for best production in the fall.
Melons – Get these in early April. They need rich soil, lots of water and lots of room. Harvest in late July, Aug., and Sept.
Okra – Pick frequently to maintian production.
Peppers – Start indoors in winter for best harvest in fall.
Squash – summer, winter. Pick the summer variety frequently to maintain production. The longer the winter variety is left on the vine, the sweeter.
Sunflowers – Very drought tolerant.
Watermelon – Needs rich soil, lots of water, and lots of room.

Paver Patio Design

Paver Patio Design Ideas

Here is a recent paver patio installed by Arizona Living Landscape & Design.  We took an existing yard and removed all the grass and debris and installed a beautiful Arizona Paver Patio in their backyard.  This patio went over the existing concrete patio and included a walkway going to another paver patio in the far side of the yard for entertaining or a fire pit area to sit.  We used Arizona Phoenix Pavers on this project.
