Plant and Lawn care

At Coconut Contracting we use the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association's (AMWUA) watering recommendations as the minimum water allocation. Most residential application will require more water to keep all plants and trees looking their best.

Proper tree trimming is about more than appearance — it’s about the long-term health, structure, and safety of your trees. At Coconut Contracting, our crews are trained in Smartscape principles to ensure trees are pruned correctly for desert conditions, seasonal growth patterns, and overall plant health. Professional pruning helps reduce storm damage, improve appearance, and promote healthier, stronger trees for years to come.

Trees

Proper tree selection is one of the most important decisions in any landscape, affecting long-term maintenance, water usage, shade, and overall appearance. Choosing the right tree for the available space, sun exposure, and desert climate helps ensure healthier growth and fewer problems in the future.

Shrubs

Selecting the right desert shrubs is essential for creating a healthy, balanced, and attractive landscape. Mature height and width, seasonal color, sun exposure, and proper spacing should all be considered to prevent overcrowding and reduce long-term maintenance. A thoughtful mix of colors, textures, and plant sizes creates year-round interest while allowing plants to grow naturally and thrive in the desert environment.

Agave/Succulent

Agaves, succulents, and cacti add bold structure, texture, and year-round interest to desert landscapes when selected and placed properly. Mixing different shapes, colors, and plant forms creates a more natural-looking environment while preventing the landscape from appearing flat or repetitive. Mature size, sun exposure, and spacing should also be considered to allow each plant room to grow and showcase its unique character and texture.
