New Home Landscaping. When you’re building a new home, you have so many things to think about, from carpet to paint to building materials. However, don’t forget about your outdoor space as well. You have the perfect opportunity to craft the lawn of your dreams as your new home comes together.
Mesquite Landscaping can help with everything from the design process through the build-out, including walkways, lighting, fire pits, patios, etc. We’re the only name you need in the Gilbert area when it comes to new homes and lawns, gardens, and outdoor fixtures.
Designing Your Dream Outdoor Space
When you work with Mesquite Landscaping, our process begins with a meeting with our design team. We come to your location to talk with you one-on-one about what you’d like to accomplish. As we walk the property, we can discuss options, such as water features, lights, layout, etc. If you aren’t sure what you want the result to look like, we can use our extensive knowledge of the Arizona landscape to give you a list of possibilities to consider.
Mesquite Landscaping has an advanced 3D landscape design system to show you what different ideas would look like, given your property’s space and features. In addition to three-dimensional design, we’ll provide you with an easy-to-understand estimate of each element’s cost. If you don’t want to do it all at one time for budgetary reasons, we can help you choose which parts need priority.
Choosing Landscape Design Elements
The design team at Mesquite Landscaping can help you select the right elements for your space and how you intend to use it. We also take into account environmental factors like soil quality, climate, and required maintenance. There’s no better time than at construction to do this kind of planning. Here is a sampling of the possibilities.
Artificial Turf
Even if the Arizona climate is not always friendly to natural grasses, you can still have a beautiful green lawn. Synthetic turf requires very little maintenance, watering, or mowing, even on the year’s hottest days. You can use turf over the whole yard or use it to accent certain areas, such as those where children will play or where your family gathers for picnics, for example. You can even create a putting green right in your backyard. Mesquite Landscaping can help you plan how you’ll use artificial turf in your project and what materials you’ll choose.
Artificial turf is attached to a sturdy backing cut to fit your space’s size and shape, so there are no unsightly seams. You get the look and feel of beautiful grass without the weeds or the maintenance. Our installation team will ensure the finished product matches the vision you have for your outdoor living space.
Gardens and Planting Structures
If you love plants but have limited space, let Mesquite help you design a garden that gets your outdoor area up and off the ground. Raised planters enable you to elevate your greenery and give unlimited options. Vertical gardens and aesthetic living walls are just two of the many possibilities. No matter what elements you choose, quality materials and knowledgeable installers who understand the Gilbert climate are the keys to a successful project like this.
The Arizona desert garden structures call for low-maintenance plants that don’t need much water and can hold up under the sun and heat. Succulents are the right choice that can survive harsh conditions, such as low soil quality, sunlight, and drought periods. Because they have sharp edges, it’s best to keep them away from walking areas. The most popular selections for the Gilbert area are the Agave and Aloe plants.
Bushes and shrubs are good choices for creating borders, while other plants are a better choice for covering large areas. Here are a few possibilities that Mesquite Landscaping can help you with.
- Texas Sage makes a good break against the wind and requires little water or pruning.
- Verbena is suitable for ground cover and makes a lovely addition of color with its purple blooms.
- Dalea comes in shrub and ground cover varieties; both have small flowers that draw wildlife to your home.
Desert trees provide shade and protection against the elements. Some good options to provide shade and beauty for the Gilbert area are Texas Ebony and Desert Willow. Evergreen Elms are beautiful, but they need a large area that can accommodate complicated root systems.
Dry conditions don’t have to keep you from enjoying colorful flowers. Birds of Paradise, Evening Primrose plants, Yellow Bells, and Angelita Daisies do well here. They help soften the look of your lawn while they add splashes of vivid color.
Patio Pavers and Travertine Walkways
If you love a stroll through the garden, you know the importance of a smooth and safe walkway that also adds to your home’s beauty. Walkways and patios made with paving stones or travertine are excellent choices to put around your pool or any place where the walking surface gets slick or uneven. Choose from plenty of styles and colors to coordinate with the look of your home. If your Gilbert area lawn is unshaded, lighter-colored paving stones can help keep the walking surface cooler. Modern materials like these maintain their look for years, even with constant exposure to the elements.
Fire Pits and Features
There’s nothing quite like sitting around a fire with the people you love on a cool fall evening. Mesquite Landscaping can help you choose the right fire pit or fireplace for your outdoor space. Build with unusual shapes, materials, colored fire glass, and more. While burn ban days are common in Arizona, they’re no problem, fueling your fire pit with gas. Mesquite Landscaping can help you every step of the way, from designing to installing your one-of-a-kind features.
Outdoor Kitchen Installation
Nothing is more American than a meal with family and friends around the grill. Serve up burgers and barbeque to your heart’s content with an outdoor kitchen customized to fit your space. Creating a second kitchen outside allows you to stay out with your guests rather than running back and forth into the house. Start with tables and chairs and a grill, and then add extras like a refrigerator and a fire pit. Your imagination is the only limit. Mesquite Landscaping knows how to turn your vision into reality with quality materials that will last for many years while keeping your family’s safety and budget in mind.
