On Tucson’s east side, Tanque Verde means bigger lots, horse properties, and yards that blend into the desert running up toward the Rincons. Tucson Yard Works designs, installs, and maintains landscapes across Tanque Verde and the east-side foothills.
Large-lot design that stays manageable
An acre of desert is a gift and a chore. We design large properties in zones: refined plantings and shade near the house, low-water native desert further out, and clean DG paths tying it together, so the whole lot looks intentional without needing constant work.
Mature desert trees, properly pruned
East-side properties often carry decades-old mesquite and palo verde. Our desert tree trimming crew does structural thinning that respects the tree’s form, reduces monsoon wind load, and cleans up storm damage when a microburst gets through anyway.
Water where it counts
We retrofit older spray systems to drip irrigation, repair chewed and mineral-clogged lines, and shape rainwater basins that put monsoon runoff to work on the plantings that need it most.
Frequently asked questions
Do you take on large or semi-rural properties?
Yes. Zoned designs keep large Tanque Verde lots attractive and manageable, from the entertaining areas near the house to the native desert at the property line.
Can you clean up an overgrown east-side lot?
Yes. We handle heavy cleanup, careful pruning of mature desert trees, haul-off, and a maintenance plan that keeps it from going wild again.
Do you repair existing irrigation systems?
Yes. Leak repair, emitter replacement, hard-water clog service, and full retrofits from spray to drip.

We also work in the Catalina Foothills and Vail, and across the wider Tucson metro.
