Services Hardscape, Softscape, & Zeroscape

Most Phoenix backyards need a mix of all three — hardscape for the areas you use, softscape for shade and greenery, and xeriscaping where water conservation is the priority. Citiscapes plans and installs all three together so the finished yard is cohesive and makes sense for Arizona living.

How a combined landscape is planned and built: A project like this starts with a grading and layout plan that identifies how each area will drain and be used. Hardscape elements are built first. Drip irrigation and weed barriers go in before any softscape planting. Plants are selected for Arizona climate compatibility and placed based on sun exposure and water needs. Gravel or decomposed granite is installed last to finish the softscape areas and retain moisture around plants.

Citiscapes plans and installs complete outdoor environments that combine hardscape, softscape, and xeriscape into a single cohesive design. Most Phoenix properties need all three — and the key is getting the right balance for the lot, the homeowner, and the climate.

Hardscape covers the structural and surface elements: patios, driveways, retaining walls, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and anything built to last. Softscape covers the living elements: trees, plants, turf, sod, and mulched beds. Xeriscape is the practice of designing for water efficiency — using drought-tolerant plants, gravel coverage, and smart irrigation to significantly reduce water use without sacrificing how the yard looks.

Arizona is one of the best climates for xeriscaping. Native and desert-adapted plants — agave, desert willow, palo verde, mesquite, and dozens of others — look great in a well-designed yard and require a fraction of the water that traditional landscaping demands. We incorporate them wherever it makes sense and helps clients cut ongoing water costs.

Whether you want a lush, full backyard or a clean modern desert design with minimal upkeep, Citiscapes designs and builds it right the first time.

    We had Cityscapes demo our yard and install travertine. They did an absolutely beautiful job. Every cut is so precise! We were so surprised when they finished and we didn’t have any clean up or anything. The entire process was extremely professional. I highly recommend them!
