Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor environments that harmonize with Arizona's desert ecosystem. We develop detailed plans for patios, planting schemes, and water features tailored to client preferences. The process includes site analysis, conceptual drafting, and final construction documentation to ensure precise implementation.
Landscape Construction
We execute full-scale landscape construction projects, including hardscaping, irrigation systems, and structural elements like pergolas and fire features. Our team uses premium materials and skilled craftsmanship for installations that match design specifications. Projects range from complete backyard transformations to functional outdoor living spaces with kitchens and seating areas.
Pool & Spa Installation
Our pool and spa installations integrate seamlessly with surrounding landscapes, creating desert oases that enhance property value. We handle complete poolscapes including decking, waterfalls, and energy-efficient filtration systems. Each project considers site-specific factors like topography and solar exposure to optimize usability and aesthetics.
Desert Landscaping
Specialized desert landscaping solutions utilize drought-tolerant plants and native materials to create sustainable, low-maintenance yards. We design layouts that mimic natural desert patterns while incorporating functional elements like shaded seating areas. Techniques include rock placement, gravel pathways, and strategic plant groupings for year-round visual interest.
Garden Remodels
We transform outdated or problematic yards into modern, functional spaces through comprehensive garden remodels. Services include concrete removal, irrigation upgrades, and replanting schemes that improve curb appeal and usability.

I would like to give Arleo Design 10 stars. If you are looking for a design for landscape DO NOT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! This is a great business to create your landscape design. I think that most people like to get a free design from their landscaper however getting a professional design is soooo much better. The work is on time and beautiful. We made multiple design changes and asked for lots of advice and Justin was always accommodating, Additionally, we just gave him all the neighborhood design requirements including types and number of plants and he figured it all out. Highly recommended.

Arleo Design provides remarkable work and unique attention to details. My husband and I met with Justin to discuss our backyard renovation. He sat down with us at our home, listened and was able to come up with an amazing design plan that incorporated both my husband's and my wants/needs. Not only was the design concept he came up with elegant, sleek and modern, the actual completed costs for the design concept fell well within our estimated budgetary needs. We are very pleased with Arleo Design Studio and rave about them to all of our friends. We look forward to using their services again when
