About L.A. Pools and Landscaping
L.A. Pools and Landscaping is the premier full-service outdoor living specialist serving Phoenix, Arizona, and the surrounding Valley of the Sun. With a deep understanding of the unique Sonoran Desert climate and a commitment to excellence, we provide homeowners with comprehensive solutions for creating their dream backyard oasis. Whether you are looking to install a brand-new custom swimming pool, remodel an existing landscape, or create a functional outdoor entertainment space, our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to bringing your vision to life with precision and artistry.
In Phoenix, the backyard is more than just an outdoor space; it is an extension of the home. At L.A. Pools and Landscaping, we specialize in high-end pool construction and remodeling. We understand that a pool is the centerpiece of the Arizona lifestyle, providing a necessary escape from the summer heat. Our pool services include custom pool design, pebble-sheen resurfacing, tile replacement, and the installation of energy-efficient pump and filtration systems. We also specialize in water features such as rock waterfalls, sheer descents, and deck jets that add both visual beauty and the soothing sound of moving water to your environment.
Our landscaping expertise is equally robust, focusing on both "hardscape" and "softscape" elements that thrive in the desert heat. We are leaders in xeriscaping—the practice of designing landscapes that reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation. By utilizing native Arizona plants, decorative cacti, and high-quality granite or river rock, we create stunning environments that are both sustainable and low-maintenance. For those who prefer a lush look, we offer professional installation of premium synthetic turf and sod, supported by state-of-the-art automated drip and sprinkler irrigation systems to ensure your greenery stays vibrant year-round.
Beyond the water and plants, L.A. Pools and Landscaping excels in structural outdoor improvements. Our hardscaping services include the installation of travertine pavers, stamped concrete, and flagstone patios that can withstand the intense Arizona sun. We also design and build custom outdoor kitchens, built-in BBQ grills, and fire features—including gas fire pits and outdoor fireplaces—that allow you to enjoy your backyard long after the sun goes down and the desert air cools.
Why do homeowners in the Phoenix metro area choose L.A. Pools and Landscaping? It comes down to our local expertise and our commitment to quality. Phoenix presents unique challenges for landscaping and pool construction, from the presence of "caliche" (hardened soil layers) to the extreme UV exposure that can degrade inferior materials. We use only commercial-grade materials and proven construction techniques designed to last in the desert environment. Furthermore, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, providing our clients with the peace of mind that their investment is protected.
We serve a wide range of communities throughout the Valley, including Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, and Glendale. We take pride in our ability to work with various architectural styles, from the classic Santa Fe and Mediterranean looks to modern, minimalist desert designs. Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your property’s topography, sun exposure, and your specific lifestyle needs. We then create a cohesive plan that integrates your pool and landscaping into one seamless, functional design.
Choosing L.A. Pools and Landscaping means choosing a partner who values communication and transparency. We understand that a backyard renovation is a significant investment, and we strive to keep our clients informed at every stage of the project, from the initial excavation to the final walkthrough. Our goal is to enhance your property’s curb appeal, increase your home’s market value, and, most importantly, provide you with a beautiful space where you can relax and make memories with family and friends.
Transform your outdoor space into a sanctuary that reflects your style and meets the demands of the Phoenix climate. Contact L.A. Pools and Landscaping today to schedule a consultation and discover how we can turn your backyard into the ultimate desert retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscaping in Phoenix
How much does landscaping cost in Phoenix, AZ?▼
Landscaping costs in Phoenix typically range from $2,500 to $15,000 for standard residential projects, depending on scope. Simple lawn maintenance runs $100–$300 monthly, while full landscape design and installation starts around $5,000. Factors like lot size, materials, and hardscaping features significantly impact the final price. Most Phoenix landscapers offer free estimates, so it's wise to get 2–3 quotes before committing.
Are landscaping contractors licensed in AZ?▼
Yes. In AZ, landscapers performing work over a certain value must hold a contractor's license. For example, most states require a Specialty or General Contractor license for installations over $500. Always verify your landscaper's license and insurance before hiring — reputable Phoenix landscaping companies carry both liability and workers' compensation.
What's the best time of year for landscaping in Phoenix, AZ?▼
The ideal landscaping season in Phoenix runs from late fall through early spring (October–April) when temperatures are milder. This allows plants to establish roots before the heat arrives. For hardscaping (patios, pavers, retaining walls), year-round installation is possible thanks to Phoenix's climate, though summer work may require early morning scheduling to avoid extreme heat.
How do I choose the right landscaper in Phoenix?▼
Start by checking online reviews on Google and Yelp, confirm licensing and insurance, and ask for references from recent local projects. Look for landscapers familiar with Phoenix's specific growing conditions — including soil type, native plants, and local watering restrictions. Request a detailed written estimate and compare at least three bids before deciding.
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Phoenix, AZ?▼
Permit requirements in Phoenix depend on the project scope. Basic planting and lawn care typically don't need permits. However, structural work like retaining walls over 3 feet, large patios, irrigation system modifications, and tree removal often require permits from the city's building or planning department. Your landscaper should handle this — always ask upfront who pulls the permits.
