Desert Landscape Design Ideas: Go Green! (And Blue and Silver)

December 21st, 2012

Those of us who live in the desert know that we just aren’t going to get those mosses and flowers that those in wetter climates use in their gardens. But, before you give up on your landscapers altogether and opt for a sandy front yard, take a look at the variety of colors and textures you can use in your desert landscape design.

Green

There are myriads of greens that you can use in your landscaping, so mix them up. Palms and cacti are only the beginning. Take a look at this lovely light green Burro’s Tail. It’s a fun little plant with a fun name.

Silver

Still desert-hardy and easy to care for, these silvery to whitish plants really bring out the other greens around them. The Sedum Spathulifolium (or ‘Cape Blanco’) is a particularly striking addition, as it has reddish stalks and flowers in bright yellow.

Blue

While the bluish tint is caused by little hairs on the actually green plants, they still add a contrasting color to the desert floor and darker green varieties. Consider the Agave Havardiana and its broad, bluish leaves.

Mix and match, have some fun. Best of all, ask the landscapers at Sunstate to go for it – they are seasoned pros who will know just what to do.

Which landscaping uses the least amount of water?

September 9th, 2011

Living in the desert means that you have to be water-conscious. You see the grim headlines and hear on the TV and radio news programs that Clark County is in the middle of a record-setting drought. Combine that with the humorous but seriously-intended pleas from the Southern Nevada Water District to conserve water and the laws in place to protect and prolong the water supply, and it all adds up to a real quandry for the home or business owner who’s looking into new landscaping. You’re environmentally conscious, and you want to do your part, but how can you create a landscaping plan that looks beautiful and still conserves our precious water supply?

You could bulldoze the entire grounds up, lay down a slab of concrete, and call it a day. But concrete’s cold and unappealing; you want a landscape design that will invite and refresh guests and customers, as well as yourself.

The obvious answer is xeriscape. Desert landscaping with lots of gravel, rocks, and hardy plants that thrive naturally in desert conditions is an ideal fit for the area, as this landscaping Las Vegas simulates and at the same time idealizes the environment in which it’s set. Many people who think of desert landscaping think of cacti, yucca, and other plants with sharp thorns and sword-like leaves, and of unattractive and drab rocks covering what once was a verdant lawn. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Xeriscape offers a surprising amount of ways to bring your landscape to life, without making your house or business look forbidding and offputting.

Another alternative is installing specially bred and engineered turf. This hardy and beautiful grass is specifically designed to retain the lush green that is the hallmark of a healthy lawn, while using a lot less water than traditional types of grass.

No matter what your aesthetic preferences or what kind of residential or commercial landscaping or upkeep such as street sweeping Las Vegas homes and businesses require, Sunstate has the knowledge and ability to create a beautiful landscape that is still eco-friendly and inviting to your friends and customers. For answers to questions like “Which landscape uses the least amount of water?”, “How do I make a functional and beautiful centerpiece for my landscaping design?”, or any other landscape upkeep or design question, let Sunstate show you why we’re the landscape company that Las Vegas trusts to conserve water and keep our city beautiful!
