FAQs
Can you design and build a guest house or ADU on my Tucson property?
Absolutely. As a licensed general contractor and landscape architecture firm, we handle ADU and guest house projects from start to finish. We begin with a site evaluation to understand your land's potential and constraints, then create a cohesive design that integrates the new structure with your existing landscape. Our construction expertise ensures the build is efficient and meets all local codes, resulting in a functional space that feels like a natural extension of your home.
My lawn has dead patches and mulch dries out too fast. What's a sustainable solution for Tucson?
These are common issues in our arid climate, often stemming from inefficient irrigation and unsuitable plant materials. Our approach starts with a site evaluation to analyze soil and sun exposure. We then design a landscape using drought-tolerant native and adapted plants, paired with a smart irrigation system or water-harvesting features to maximize efficiency. For hardscapes and mulch areas, we select materials and techniques that reduce water loss and heat retention, creating a resilient outdoor space that conserves water and stays healthier longer.
Do you offer services for building a new single-family home?
Yes, we provide comprehensive single-family home construction. Our unique advantage is that your project is led by licensed landscape architects who are also seasoned builders. This means we design your home and its surrounding landscape as one integrated system from the very beginning. We consider elements like orientation for natural cooling, outdoor living spaces, and water management during the master planning phase, ensuring a harmonious and sustainable result tailored to the Tucson environment.
Company Background
Tanque Verde Construction, founded by Fernando Chiquette and Maria Voris, brings a uniquely personal touch to Tucson's built environment. Their journey began with Fernando's childhood, split between Mexico and the United States, which instilled a profound respect for hard work and hands-on creation. This foundation led both partners to earn master's degrees in Landscape Architecture from the University of Arizona. Now, as Petrichor LLC, they merge this academic expertise with real-world construction experience. Licensed, bonded, and insured, they focus on creating meaningful, beautiful, and sustainable outdoor spaces—from initial design concepts like digital renderings and water harvesting plans through to construction of hardscapes, retaining walls, and complete new homes. Their service philosophy extends beyond project completion, offering long-term maintenance to ensure landscapes thrive in the Sonoran Desert.
