Landscape Design

Arcadia Landscape designs services are for commercial and custom residential projects. Our goal is to create sustainable, beautiful, and functional outdoor environments that elevate the beauty and enhance the value of any property.

Integrating Tucson’s climate into each Landscape Design

With Tucson’s hot summers and mild winters, our landscape designs offer a unique challenge opportunity. Arcadia Landscape specializes in utilizing native plant species and efficient water use strategies crucial for sustaining commercial and residential landscapes. Our approach includes xeriscaping and integrating drought-resistant plants, essential for creating sustainable and low-maintenance landscapes.

Our Core Elements of Landscape Design

1. Selection of Native Plants: We select native plants that thrive in Tucson’s climate, such as the Saguaro Cactus, Palo Verde, and Agave, to ensure lower water usage and better survival rates. These plants are ideal for commercial landscapes and residential gardens, providing natural habitats and promoting local biodiversity.

2. Water Efficiency Techniques: Our advanced water-saving techniques, including drip irrigation systems and rainwater harvesting, are designed to optimize water usage across large commercial properties and intimate residential settings alike. These techniques help maintain soil moisture and reduce the need for frequent watering.

3. Innovative Use of Hardscaping: Incorporating hardscaping elements such as natural stone, pavers, and recycled materials adds texture and functionality to any space. Our designs include robust features like patios, walkways, retaining walls suitable for commercial use, and more personalized residential applications.

4. Incorporating Shade Structures: We design and construct shade structures like pergolas, gazebos, and large trees that provide essential relief from the Tucson sun, making outdoor spaces more enjoyable. These structures protect plants and reduce soil moisture loss in residential and commercial settings.

Innovative Design Strategies 

1. Creating Wildlife-Friendly Gardens: Our designs often feature elements that attract and support local wildlife, enhancing ecological balance in expansive commercial areas or private residential gardens. Features like bird baths and small water features invite a vibrant array of birds, bees, and butterflies.
   
2. Emphasizing Seasonal Colors: We strategically select plants that bloom at different times of the year to ensure your landscape remains colorful and attractive throughout all seasons. This approach is crucial for maintaining the visual appeal of both commercial properties and private residences.

3. Sustainable Outdoor Lighting: Our eco-friendly solar-powered lighting solutions illuminate expansive commercial spaces and cozy residential areas. Proper lighting enhances safety and highlights the unique features of each landscape.

Innovative Design Techniques

The design team at Arcadia Landscape is known for their creativity and attention to detail. They employ various techniques that not only enhance the natural beauty of Tucson but also offer functional benefits. Xeriscaping, the practice of creating landscapes that reduce or eliminate the need for water beyond what the natural climate provides, is a hallmark of their work. By selecting plants that are native to the area, such as saguaro cacti, agave, and mesquite, they ensure that each garden reflects Tucson’s natural heritage.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Understanding that the outdoor space is an extension of the home, Arcadia Landscape focuses on creating outdoor living areas that are both beautiful and usable. From custom stone pathways that weave through aromatic herb gardens to elegant patios with built-in fire pits, their designs encourage outdoor activity year-round. They also specialize in installing ambient lighting that enhances the usability of these spaces after sunset, extending the enjoyment of Tucson’s cool evenings.

Water Features and Artistic Elements

Another aspect of Arcadia Landscape’s work incorporates water features and artistic elements. Water features such as small ponds, fountains, and cascades are visually striking and create microclimates that can help cool the surrounding area. Artistic installations, whether sculptures or functional art like creatively designed benches, give each space a unique character that reflects the homeowner’s personality and style.
