Our desert landscaping services in Las Vegas include:
We carefully plan each element so your desert landscape not only looks beautiful but also supports long-term health and sustainability. And because we live and work in Las Vegas, we’re well-versed in soil challenges, drainage needs, HOA guidelines, and local climate shifts.
From older neighborhoods near the Strip to newer communities in the southwest valley, the homes around Las Vegas are diverse — and so are our designs. We don’t do one-size-fits-all packages. Instead, we customize every desert landscape to fit your layout, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Some of our clients want a clean, modern look with sharp lines, crushed granite, and agaves. Others want a more organic, flowing feel with winding paths, native grasses, and pops of color. No matter what your vision is, we’ll walk you through the options and help you make the most of your outdoor space.
Because our roots are local, we also understand the importance of working quickly and efficiently. We’ll schedule your project with clear timelines, communicate at every step, and make sure your yard is left clean, polished, and ready to enjoy.
Desertscaping is a landscaping method that focuses on low-water, low-maintenance plant choices and hardscaping elements that suit dry, arid climates like Las Vegas. It often includes gravel, boulders, native plants, and efficient irrigation.
Compared to traditional lawns, desertscaping is extremely low-maintenance. You won’t have to mow or water frequently. Occasional pruning, cleaning, and drip system checks are all it takes.
Yes! Artificial turf provides the green look of grass without the water waste or maintenance. It’s great for pet areas, play zones, or accents in a desert-themed yard.
Absolutely. Replacing grass with drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation can significantly reduce your monthly water use and align with Las Vegas water conservation guidelines.
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity, but most desert landscaping installations are completed in just a few days to a week. We’ll give you a detailed timeline upfront.

Vin Wu2025-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt compelled to leave a review for FreshStart Landscaping. After purchasing a new home the landscaping needed to be done. Things like this can become very tedious due to the scope and cost of the project, but after putting it off for almost a year I went ahead and started the process. I like to do my due diligence, so I took the time to look through many companies and spent numerous hours researching who could be possible candidates to use via reviews through Yelp and other sources. I ended up contacting 11 separate companies, which I then proceeded to get quotes from six of them. Of the six, three of them followed up, of the three that followed up, only one of them followed up more than one time. You probably guessed it, it was FreshStart Landscaping that followed up more than one time to see if I had any questions, concerns, etc. That was really appreciated since the project was going to be more than $20,000. Not big, but also not small. My wife, daughter, and I came up with the design that we eventually used for the front and back yard. Juan and David was very accommodating to our design and helped get the assets ready for us to get the design approved by our HOA. After HOA approved our design, I contacted Juan and got our project scheduled. I was pretty surprised that Juan estimated that the time that it will take to complete the job would be five business days. I had multiple neighbors who took at least six times longer, so you can say I was a little skeptical. My skepticism was eased when they started working on the first day. The project was moving along and followed the stated timeline and got done in five business days. One of the concerns that I had was that the shape and sized of the steps that we had designed was going to have to be laid out the day it needed to be set if I wanted it to look as close to the design we created. I had no problem with that, so when the time came David got a hold of me and showed me the options and we decided on what we felt fit best. David was very helpful by offering what he would do if he was me. Of course the final decision was left to me and he did not try to push me one way or another, which I appreciated. The only hitch we ran into were two things. Next to the block wall on the walkway there was two areas that ended up one inch off from each other. So if you were to look straight down the walkway you'll see a break around two thirds of the way down the one hundred plus line, this was a small detail that was visually very unappealing. The other issue was the walkway in the front that connects to the driveway. They accidentally made it thirty eight inches wide vs the sixty inches as shown in the design. I brought up these two issues on the last day when Juan asked me to walk the job and check things out. When I brought up the issues Juan came out and talked to me about it to confirm what I was mentioning and then he spoke to his workers. After he spoke to his workers and he came up to me and said that he's going to purchase more pavers to widen the walkway and also fix the area with the misalignment, and all that will be done by the end of the day. And guess what, it was all done by the end of the day. No arguing, no pushback. I was so pleased by this. How many companies own up to there mistakes without making some excuse or trying to weasel their way out somehow? I have had my share of companies do exactly this to me in the past. I was so impressed because I have dealt with too many service companies that just plain are willing to break their word to save themselves costs at my expense. Not Juan and David from FreshStart Landscaping. They did what they said they were going to do at the timeline that they said they were going to do it in. They kept their word. The were also very respectful and polite the whole time. I forgot to mention that their value was great, the price they gave was very competitive. I have included before and after photos, you can see their work for yourselves. I am grateful I found them and got to use them for this project.

FreshStart landscaping delivered for our home near Centennial Parkway and N Shaumber rd in Centennial Hills, North Las Vegad. We bought our plants from Moon Valley Nursery's North Las Vegas location. FreshStart came into execute exactly what we wanted and also providing input on what can be done and what was not possible (due to slopes in yard). Having done projects in the past in town, they where professional, on time, they didn't change the price, we didn't make changes, came out exactly to plan. Turf looks awesome and so do the pavers.
