What we do
Design and install thatholds up
Full-yard makeovers, paver patios, desert plantings, lighting, and the irrigation and maintenance that keeps it all alive through a Sonoran summer.
Paver Patios & Walkways
Travertine, flagstone, or concrete pavers — set on the right base so they stay flat through 115° summers and monsoon rain.
starts at $1800 · per visit
Synthetic Turf Installation
Pet-safe, kid-safe synthetic grass with proper drainage base — the green-year-round option that doesn’t need water.
quoted on-site
Rock & Boulder Work
Decomposed granite groundcover, river-rock dry creeks, and signature boulders set with intent — not piled in a corner.
quoted on-site
Desert Plantings
Saguaro, ocotillo, agave, palo verde, desert spoon — native and adaptive plants that thrive on Sonoran light and minimal water.
quoted on-site
Outdoor Lighting Design
Path lights, uplit saguaros, step lights on patio risers — low-voltage LED that turns the yard into a place after sundown.
quoted on-site
Tree Service
Mesquite, palo verde, and citrus pruning timed to the right season — plus stump removal and cabling for monsoon-prone trees.

How a project moves
Four steps from first walk-through to finished yard.
We treat the design as the part most landscapers skip. Spend a week getting it right and the install is the easy part.
Walk the lot
We meet on site, walk the property with you, and listen. Sun exposure, drainage, what your HOA allows, how you actually use the yard. No tablets — just boots, tape measure, and a notebook.
Sketch the plan
Back at the truck we draw the plan on graph paper. You see the layout in 48 hours: hardscape footprint, plant placement, irrigation zones, lighting. You mark it up, we revise.
Pick the palette
Plant by plant — agave, palo verde, ocotillo, citrus — we walk the nursery selection together so you see the actual specimens going in. Same for stone, pavers, gravel color.
Build it
Demo, grading, base, hardscape, irrigation, plants, lighting. Same crew the whole way through, on site by 6am, gone by 3pm. Most full-yard projects wrap in 5 to 10 days.
Designed for the desert
The plants we build palettes around.
Native and adaptive species that thrive on Sonoran light, monsoon rain, and the kind of water bill San Tan Valley actually wants.
Saguaro
Carnegiea gigantea
Specimen plant — the silhouette every desert yard is built around. Slow grower; we source mature transplants from licensed Sonoran nurseries only.
Blue Agave
Agave americana
Architectural rosette for low foreground. Dramatic shadow line at golden hour; pairs well with DG or rip-rap, never lawn.
Ocotillo
Fouquieria splendens
Vertical line, near-zero water, scarlet flames in spring. Reads like a sculpture for the front of a planted bed.
Palo Verde
Parkinsonia florida
The Arizona state tree — green-barked, photosynthesizes through the trunk. Yellow bloom in April. We use it for filtered shade over patios.
Desert Spoon
Dasylirion wheeleri
Tight blue-grey ball of leaves topped by a tall flower stalk in summer. Anchors a bed without needing supplemental water.
Prickly Pear
Opuntia engelmannii
Fast-fill structure with magenta fruit late summer. Spineless cultivars on request for kid- or pet-heavy yards.
Gallery
Recent work, around San Tan Valley and the East Valley.
Front-yard redesigns, backyard hardscape, full-yard makeovers. Each one started with a walk-through and a graph-paper sketch.
In their words
What customers say
Homeowners across San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and Florence who let us redesign their front and back yards.
They installed almost 900 square feet of Arizona pavers, a drip system, drainage, and all new plants and trees in four days. The crew was on time every morning and the finished yard looks like the renderings they showed us.

We had three other companies quote our backyard. ZonaWorks was the only one who actually walked the property and asked what we wanted to do back there. The plan they drew up made sense and the price was fair.

Tore out the dead Bermuda, regraded for drainage, set travertine pavers and a fire pit, uplit the saguaros. Backyard went from “let’s never go out there” to where we eat dinner half the week.

Good to know
Frequently asked
- Both. Most of our customers come to us for the design first — we walk the property, sketch options, and put together a plant palette and hardscape plan. Then our crew installs it. You can also bring an existing plan from a designer and we’ll quote the install.
- Yes — Arizona ROC licensed for landscape contracting, bonded, and insured. Happy to send the certificate and license number to your HOA architectural committee before we start.
- Four steps. We walk the property with you, sketch options on graph paper, pick the plant and hardscape palette together, then build it. Most full-yard projects move from first walk-through to install in three to six weeks depending on materials lead time.
- Yes. We work in Pecan Creek, Johnson Ranch, Encanterra, Skyline Ranch, Magic Ranch, Copper Basin, and most of the master-planned communities around San Tan Valley and Queen Creek. We submit ARC paperwork on your behalf when needed.
- Florence and the south side of Gilbert are within range. Mesa we take selectively depending on the project. North Phoenix or Scottsdale — usually no, we keep the truck close to the East Valley.
- Front yards: 3 to 5 days on the install once materials arrive. Backyards with hardscape, lighting, and irrigation: 5 to 10 days. Material lead time on travertine and specimen plants is the long pole — usually 2 to 3 weeks before we start.
- Yes. Most install customers stay on a maintenance schedule with us — drip-system check-ups, seasonal pruning, replacing any plant that doesn’t take. The first ninety days after install we cover any plant losses for free.
