Landscape Design in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale has 44 landscape design companies, and design is unusually central to the local trade: those 44 make up 40% of the 109 landscape companies listed in the city. Many of them are design-build outfits that sell the whole backyard. 39 of the 44 design and install, 28 build outdoor kitchens and fire features, 27 build hardscape and 24 install landscape lighting.

Pools feature far more here than in most cities. 16 of the 44 also build pools, so a design conversation in Scottsdale often starts with the water and works outward to the patio and planting. Envirogreen Landscape Design-Build offers 3D landscape designs and installs custom pools, pergolas, ramadas, fire and water features, turf and lighting. If pool and landscape are designed together, ask whether one plan covers both, which company builds each part, and how drainage around the pool deck is handled in the drawings.

Some firms here design without building. Bianchi Design is a conceptual design firm for luxury pools, water and fire features, with landscape design that includes plantings and lighting, and it works with outside builders and subcontractors. That route gives you drawings to hand to the builder of your choice, so confirm who owns the plan and how many revisions are included. Good Landscaping, Inc sits in between: it installs and maintains landscapes and offers custom design with architect partners and 3D renderings.
