Citiscapes, LLC
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.

Basically doubled the size of our pool deck, transformed our poolside bar with travertine, added noice canceling wall, raised flower bed and large putting green along with plants to accent. My wife and I could not be happier with the transf
Great ground crew.
Our pool was almost finished at our new build house so we needed to find a landscaper. We looked online for recommendations and we went to a home show to talk directly to multiple companies. We selected 4 different companies to give us bids. We decided to go with Kendall and Citiscapes after a long talk with him. He answered all of our questions and took the time to explain everything. You can definitely see the military background in him. He was not the cheapest bid but there was just something about him that made us confident that we would end up with the backyard of our dreams! We are so thrilled with the outcome of our landscaping! Citiscapes did such an outstanding job from start to finish. From our design plans, to picking out plants, pavers and the color of our rock - they listened and gave sound advice of what works best for our location and Arizona in general! Communication was excellent and they allowed some design changes in the middle of the job.Top notch company through out! Polly Mann
