Landscaping & Xeriscape Yards in Tempe, AZ

Desert yards, cleanups, turf and full outdoor makeovers — Tempe, Maricopa County.

Tempe backyards are small — the city has been landlocked and built out since the 1990s, so most lots were never going to get bigger, and a yard here has to do double duty: survive a 110-degree July and still work for a barbecue that same weekend. That is why turf and low-water hardscape have become the default here instead of grass — synthetic turf that does not brown out, gravel and desert plants on a drip line instead of a lawn that needs watering twice a day, and a cleanup first if the yard has not been touched in years.

Landscaping in Tempe

We have hauled full trailer loads out of Tempe backyards that were more storage than yard before anything new went in — a cleanup is often the real first step, not an afterthought. From there it is turf, xeriscape beds and stepping stones sized to a yard that is small enough that every square foot has to earn its place.

ASU keeps thousands of rentals turning over every summer — make-ready work is a season, not an occasional job (paint, patches, floors, deep cleaning in a two-week window)
Landlocked and fully built since the 1990s, so remodeling existing 1960s–70s ranch stock is the only way to get a better house here
Small commercial spaces along the light rail change tenants often, and every change means drywall, paint and floors
Backyards are small and hard-used, so owners invest in turf and low-water hardscape that survives both heat and parties

Questions about landscaping in Tempe

Is turf worth it for a yard this small?

Often yes — a small yard is exactly where turf pays off fastest, since there is less of it to water and more of it in daily use.

My backyard is more weeds than yard right now. Where do you start?

With a cleanup — clearing what is overgrown or dead before anything new goes in. Landscaping over a mess just buries the mess.
