Cooper Landscaping | Best Landscaping in Tucson, AZ

This is a classic Tucson combination issue. Often, broken lines and cracked soil point to underlying problems with soil composition and irrigation system design. Our long-term solution starts with a professional irrigation audit and repair to fix leaks and ensure proper pressure. Then, we address the soil. For new installations, we use soil amendments and proper grading. For existing yards, solutions can include aerating, adding organic matter, or even installing a subsurface drip system or converting appropriate zones to low-water-use hardscaping like a patio or walkway, which we design and build.

Absolutely. Our landscape design services focus on creating water-smart, durable outdoor spaces for Tucson homes. We utilize Xeriscaping principles, selecting native and drought-adapted plants that require less irrigation. The design incorporates functional hardscaping elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls to reduce the area of irrigated soil. For the planted areas, we design irrigation zones specifically for plant type and sun exposure, using high-efficiency drip emitters and smart controllers. Proper soil preparation is key—we amend the soil to improve its structure and water retention, helping to prevent the cracking that plagues our native caliche soils.

We can often help them recover! Our shrub care services include a health assessment to diagnose issues related to poor soil and water stress. For struggling shrubs, we may recommend deep-root fertilization, careful aeration around the root zone, and corrective pruning. Crucially, we will inspect and repair the irrigation serving those plants to ensure they're getting adequate, consistent water. In some cases, shrub transplanting to a better-prepared location in your yard is the best option. Removal is always a last resort. Our goal is to preserve your landscape's maturity and beauty while solving the root cause of the problem.
