Landscaping Services Sedona AZ | Call On Time Landscape & Masonry

A well-designed landscape acts as a natural dust control system. We strategically use drought-tolerant ground covers, dense plantings, and hardscapes like flagstone patios to cover bare soil—the main source of dust. Proper grading and the use of soil binders or organic mulches in planting beds also help keep soil in place and significantly reduce airborne dust around your home.

Prevention starts with a proper foundation. We install a high-quality, non-woven geotextile fabric beneath the gravel to block weeds from rooting in the soil below. Our designs also incorporate edging to keep surrounding soil and seeds out, and we often recommend using a larger, angular crushed stone (like 3/4"" minus basalt) that locks together, creating a less hospitable environment for weed seeds to settle and germinate.

Focus on designs that use native and adaptive plants which require less water and are naturally resistant to local pests. Look for plans that minimize large areas of bare soil or loose gravel—common weed and dust culprits. Instead, opt for cohesive designs that use groupings of plants, decorative boulders, and defined hardscape areas. A good design for Sedona will prioritize ease of care while complementing the stunning natural red rock scenery.
