Backyard Oasis Created by Gilbert Landscape Design

We’ve transformed another Arizona backyard landscape!  Our recent project created a useful and appealling Gilbert Landscape Design.  The client’s backyard began as a blank canvas, all dirt along with a satillo tile patio which the client wanted to keep!  After an initial design consultation we were able to suggest many Arizona backyard ideas that would work with what our client was hoping to achieve along with being harmonious  in our Arizona climate.

Landscape pavers created eye-catching patios, walkings and seating areas.  We were able to tie together the original satillo tile patio with all the new paver hardscapes.

Golf is a popular hobby for many Arizonians.  So an artificial turf backyard putting green was the perfect choice for these homeowners!    Not only will it provide endless hours of recreation but it’s also eco-friendly requiring virtually no maintenance!
