When it comes to landscaping, since the dawn of Suburbia, Americans have been obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses – even if it meant borrowing their lawn mower! The value of “curb appeal” runs deeper than mere aesthetics; any real estate agent will gladly regale you with stories of five-figure price boosts based on the nature (so to speak) of the grounds surrounding a home. Green isn’t just about envy.

Water, Water, Anywhere

Lush, green grass, along with bushes, trees and flower gardens, aren’t nearly as difficult (or expensive) to maintain East of the Rockies, where rain tends to fall on a regular basis. In the desert and mountain regions of the western and southwestern United States, there’s a bit more to it than meets the eye. Whether one uses an underground sprinkler system or flood irrigation as a means of providing water to one’s plants and lawn, it amounts to artificial life support for those living, growing entities that surround our homes and are a part of our lives.

Cheaper and Cleaner

Sprinkler lines and drip emitters – all controlled by timers – offer a more modern, metered approach to the problem, and is not only more cost-efficient than flood irrigation (in which water fills up the bermed lawns on a scheduled basis), it is also a much cleaner approach. Compare it to the way in which tuned-port fuel injection was an improvement over carburetors which just dumped as much gasoline as your car’s engine could handle. In any case, flood irrigation isn’t usually available in newer neighborhoods and subdivisions.

In the wake of the housing boom, today’s Phoenix plumbers and contractors are adept at their craft and are likely to be up to date on the latest products and processes. They also exist in numbers which keep the cost of their trades competitive. The best way to find the right person to handle your landscaping needs is easy… Just go next door and ask the Joneses who they’ve been using.
