Desert-Smart Landscape Design in Las Vegas
A beautiful Las Vegas yard starts with a design that respects the desert climate instead of fighting it. Stone Landscaping creates custom landscape plans using drought-tolerant plants, xeriscape principles, and smart irrigation that slashes water bills while making your outdoor space stunning. We handle everything from initial design consultation through full installation — grading, planting, rock and mulch ground cover, artificial turf, raised beds, shade structures, and pool-area landscaping. Every design factors in SNWA water restrictions, Clark County soil conditions, and the brutal UV exposure that kills plants not adapted to the Mojave. Whether you want a lush desert oasis, a clean modern xeriscape, or a complete yard transformation, we build landscapes that thrive year-round.

Driveway Rehaul
“Our 1995 driveway was a disaster — huge cracks, sinking on one side, and the surface was flaking everywhere. Stone tore it all out and poured a beautiful stamped concrete driveway. Night and day difference. Neighbors keep stopping to ask who did it.”

Landscape Design & Installation FAQ
How much does landscape design cost in Las Vegas?
Landscape design and installation in Las Vegas typically ranges from $2,500 for a small front yard xeriscape to $25,000+ for a full backyard transformation with hardscaping, artificial turf, and mature plantings. A design consultation starts at $250, which is credited toward the project if you move forward. We provide detailed proposals with itemized costs so there are no surprises.
What is xeriscape and how does it save water in Las Vegas?
Xeriscape is a landscaping approach designed for arid climates like Las Vegas. It uses drought-tolerant native and adapted plants, efficient drip irrigation, rock or mulch ground cover, and strategic grouping of plants by water needs. A properly designed xeriscape can reduce outdoor water use by 50-75% compared to traditional grass lawns, which matters in a city where SNWA enforces strict watering schedules and fines.
What are the best plants for Las Vegas landscaping?
Top performers in the Las Vegas valley include desert willow, Texas ranger, red yucca, agave, bougainvillea, lantana, and yellow bells. For trees, we recommend Chilean mesquite, palo verde, and desert museum palo verde for shade. We select plants rated for USDA zone 9a that tolerate alkaline soil, intense UV, and summer temperatures above 110 degrees, then explain watering and establishment needs before installation.
Is artificial turf worth it in Las Vegas?
For many Las Vegas homeowners, yes. Artificial turf eliminates watering, mowing, and fertilizing. SNWA currently lists a Water Smart Landscapes rebate for eligible single-family residential grass conversions at $5 per square foot for the first 10,000 square feet, and some LVVWD customers may qualify for an additional incentive. Terms change, so we help you check current eligibility before turf is removed. The upfront cost runs $8-14 per square foot installed, but many homeowners recoup a meaningful portion through water savings and rebates.
Can you design landscaping around my pool?
Absolutely. Pool-area landscaping is one of our specialties. We select plants that minimize leaf and flower drop to keep your pool clean, use decomposed granite and pavers that stay cool underfoot, and design layouts that create privacy without blocking airflow. All pool-area irrigation is designed to prevent overspray that wastes water and damages pool chemistry.
