Low desert design with plant success in mind.
Hi, I’m Paige, your Arizona low desert landscape designer. I focus on special projects and landscape consultations to improve the quality of existing residential landscaping, help prevent more loss of plants over the summer, and to install sensible designs that will stand the test of time.
ACNP Certified Professional/Smartscape Landscaping Professional.
I bring specialized knowledge and practical skill to low desert landscaping, not the standard mow-blow-and-go.
As an Arizona certified nursery professional, I know hundreds of Sonoran native and desert-adapted plants that are used in Phoenix landscaping – how they grow, what they need, how to install them properly, and how to maintain them correctly. Many homeowners struggle with slowly declining yards but it doesn’t have to be this way.
As a Maricopa county Smartscape graduate, I have localized knowledge of our soil, climate, and specific needs in East valley landscaping. My goal is to improve every garden I work with. I do this by getting the history of the yard, its specific issues, the preferences of the clients, and take a deep look at the soil and irrigation and plants. There are a few major mistakes being made in many Phoenix yards and I aim to warn people about them and make improvements.
Learn how to care for desert plants.
Sharing skills is part of my mission – I’ll teach you the best ways to care for your individual plants and soil and create a more efficient and healthy garden.
Consult & planting to suit your needs.
From yard health walkthroughs to full service design and planting – I offer different styles of support.

Offering the right care for our desert environment.
With a background in biochemistry and professional experience providing residential landscape solutions, I am dedicated to giving you the knowledge and help you need to maintain a landscape that is healthy, sustainable, and beautiful.
After years working as a plant nursery technician guiding customers to build thriving desert gardens, I now offer comprehensive landscaping support – from start to finish of your project.
Phoenix, Arizona has a challenging environment. You deserve to have a dedicated specialist in your corner!









Some photos of plants I’ve installed myself. Proper installation can make or break a design. Why you should choose me to help with your garden: you need someone with local knowledge of the plants to make a design, and someone who understands the installation process very well because soil preparation and irrigation setup are key to the future success of your plants.
