Why it matters

Install order decides how long a yard lasts.

When plants go in before the water lines, or rock goes down before the grade is right, it shows within a year as dead spots and standing water. We sequence the install so each layer sets up the next one.

In Chandler that order matters more than most places. Caliche and clay soil drain slowly, summer heat stresses new plants, and a single monsoon storm will find any low spot the grading missed.

What an install can include
What we install

One crew, every layer of the yard.

A full landscape install touches everything from the dirt up. These are the six parts of the job our crew handles on installs around Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa.

Keeping them with one crew matters. The trench for the drip line, the planting hole and the rock that covers both are done by people who know what went in underneath.

01

Planting beds

Soil worked and moved by hand where a machine will not fit, then planted.

02

Trenching and grading

Side yards trenched for water lines and shaped before anything goes on top.

03

Drip and sprinkler lines run to the plants and lawn that need them.

04

Real grass or artificial turf laid on a prepared base.

05

Gravel, decomposed granite and boulders spread and raked out.

06

New trees placed, planted at the right depth and staked where needed.

Already have ideas on paper?

Bring any sketches or plans you have. We start with a free site visit and go from there.

Before the quote

Every install is priced off a site walk.

We check access for equipment, where the water line comes in, how the ground slopes and what has to be removed. Those details decide the schedule and the number, so we see them in person.

A mini skid steer can cut a day of hand digging, but only if it fits through the gate. We measure side yards and gates on the walk so the quote reflects how the work will actually get done.

Install day to walkthrough

What the install looks like, step by step.

The order below is the same on a small front yard and a full backyard. Only the size of the job changes.

Every landscape installation in Chandler we take on follows these five steps. It does not matter whether the plan came from our design team or from a sketch you brought to the site visit.

01

Prep and demo

Old material cleared and hauled away.

02

Grade

Ground shaped so water drains away from the house.

03

Water lines

Irrigation trenched and run to each area.

04

Plants and cover

Trees, shrubs, sod, turf or rock installed.

05

Clean and walk

Site cleaned and checked with you.

Paired with hardscape

Installs that include hardscape.

A lot of our installs set pavers, walls or concrete in the same project. Building them together means the grades, borders and planting beds meet cleanly.

Block retaining walls, concrete pads and pergolas also change where water goes. Setting them as part of the install lets us plan drainage and irrigation around them instead of cutting through them later.

What it costs

The four biggest pieces of an install quote.

Installs are priced from the plan and the site walk. These are the parts that swing the number up or down.

Two yards in Chandler and Gilbert with the same square footage can land far apart. Access, plant sizes and how many irrigation zones the plan needs usually explain the gap.

Area and layout

Square footage and how many separate beds, lawns and paths are in the plan.

Site access

Room for a skid steer versus moving soil and rock by wheelbarrow.

Plants and materials

Plant sizes, rock type and whether the lawn is sod or turf.

Irrigation needs

Number of zones and how far the lines have to run.

It all goes on one written quote before the crew shows up.

Questions

Landscape installation questions.

Have something else on your mind? Ask during the free site visit and we will walk through it with you.

These are the questions Chandler homeowners ask most before a new landscape goes in. They range from timing around the summer heat to what happens to the old plants.

For a full yard, yes. Even a simple plan keeps the beds, water lines and hardscape lined up. For smaller jobs we can often plan it on site with you.

Not the whole time. We do need access to the yard and the water shutoff, and we like to walk the finished work with you at the end.

We remove and haul off what is coming out. If there are plants worth keeping, tell us and we can work around them.

Yes. Many Chandler yards mix a lawn area with desert beds. We zone the irrigation so each one gets the right amount of water.

Hardscape and rock can go in most of the year. Plants and sod settle in easier outside the hottest weeks of summer, and we will talk timing with you when we quote.

Yes. We install across Chandler, Ahwatukee, San Tan Valley, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Queen Creek.

Where we work

Landscape installs across Chandler and the East Valley.

Our crews work out of Chandler. They cover Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, San Tan Valley and the surrounding cities.

New construction lots in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley often start as bare dirt, while older Mesa and Tempe yards need demo first. We install landscapes for both across Maricopa County.

Install types

Choose the scope of your install.

Some jobs are one bed. Others are the whole property. These are the four we see most from homeowners around Chandler.

Each scope uses the same prep, irrigation and cleanup standards. The difference is how much of the yard is in the plan and whether it ends in sod, turf, rock or planting.

/01

Front and back built to one plan, from grading to the final walkthrough.

/02

Low water plants and rock laid for the Chandler climate.

/03

New sod or artificial turf on a graded base.

/04

Trees, shrubs and flowers added to an existing yard.
