The region's modern history is tied closely to the ventures of miners, rail-road companies and the Grand Canyon tourist trade.

Historically, difficult terrain has combined with frequent severe weather to limit permanent settlements in the region.

Garden Design and Consultation
plan
Nature is our guide to successful xeriscaping in Northern Arizona. A xeric garden plan will engineer a diversity of microclimates, then exploit them. I place bulky shrubs and boulders to block winds and to seed snow-drifts. Insulated with a rock-mulch, these refuges nurture a wide variety of colorful, robust perennials.

Land-Use Planning

"Prior Planning Prevents Panic." Because of the fragility of our countryside, the destructive Monsoon downpours, and the regular droughts, the "Four P's" are good advice. When it comes to land-use, preplanning can reduce the impact of construction, set aside lands for livestock pens and pastures, project fence lines, and locate the best garden sites before you break ground.

Reforestation and Irrigation Plans

Reforestation and reclamation projects often require supplemental irrigation to succeed. New seed-beds benefit from a gravel-mulch, and native plantings do best when placed in natural drainages. A good plan will site your trees, calculate their water-load and design an efficient irrigation system to provide it. Aggasiz Landscape Group can install your plan.
