Short description

Southwestern yards with restraint, rhythm, and real shade.

Desert Yards Landscaping is a fictional boutique crew that reworks tired gravel lots, thirsty turf, and awkward side yards into calm outdoor rooms. The look is regional and practical: decomposed granite, sculptural agave, handmade tile, steel edging, pavers, mesquite shade, and lighting that makes the yard useful after sunset.

Before and after

Three yard transformations, one slider.

Drag the handle across each project image, then move through the carousel to compare how texture, shade, and planting change the feel of the property.

Adobe Courtyard Reset

A dusty front approach becomes a quiet arrival sequence with pavers, sculptural agave, gravel texture, and a small seating edge for evening shade.

  • Focus entry path and curb appeal
Open sandy backyard before shade and planting are added Textured garden path with dense desert planting Before After
Project 02

Mesquite Shade Walk

A blank side yard gets a cooler daily route with compacted gravel, native grasses, barrel cactus, and drip zones planned around afternoon sun.

  • Palette sand, olive, copper, turquoise
  • Focus circulation and shade

Fake bio

Marisol Vega, founder and lead designer.

Marisol is a fictional landscape designer raised between Tucson and Las Cruces. After years of replacing thirsty lawns with shade-forward xeriscapes, she started Desert Yards to make practical desert planting feel composed, personal, and quietly refined.

Her crew keeps the process direct: walk the site, map the sun, simplify the irrigation, choose plants that belong here, and build a yard that looks better as it settles in.
