Innovative Landscape Architecture for Tucson’s Desert Climate
Tucson projects must balance aesthetics with the realities of desert living: extreme heat, water scarcity, and fragile soils. At Evergreen Design Group, we design with these conditions in mind, blending beauty and functionality with long-term durability.
Challenges Faced by Landscape Architects in Tucson
Water Scarcity & Xeriscaping
Tucson enforces strict water use policies through the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). Effective designs must incorporate xeriscaping principles, drought-tolerant plants, and efficient irrigation systems.
Extreme Heat & Sun Exposure
With over 280 sunny days per year, Tucson projects must integrate shaded structures, tree canopies, reflective hardscaping, and energy-efficient lighting to protect people and property.
Soil & Erosion Control
Sandy, rocky desert soils require specialized preparation for plantings. Erosion control techniques are also essential to stabilize areas impacted by flash floods during monsoon season.
Wildfire Risks in Outlying Areas
Projects near desert scrublands or foothills must include defensible spaces, fire-resistant plantings, and strategic site planning to reduce wildfire hazards.
