    Luxury Landscape Design & Build in Arcadia, AZ

    Arcadia is one of the only neighborhoods in metro Phoenix where mature citrus groves, flood-irrigated lawns, and Camelback Mountain backdrops exist on the same lot. Our design-build approach respects that landscape inheritance while modernizing how it functions.

    Arcadia (85018) is unlike anywhere else in the Valley. The historic SRP flood irrigation system still delivers water to many lots in Arcadia Proper and Upper Arcadia, sustaining the citrus groves, lawns, and mature trees that define the neighborhood's signature lush character. That irrigation legacy creates both design opportunities and constraints that don't exist in newer parts of Phoenix. State48 Landscape designs Arcadia projects around these conditions: integrating new hardscape and outdoor living without disrupting flood-flow, preserving specimen citrus and shade canopy that often pre-dates the home, and updating drip and smart-controller systems to coexist with the legacy flood schedule. Arcadia's housing stock skews to mid-century ranch homes, many of which have been remodeled or torn down for modern desert contemporary builds. Both extremes demand thoughtful landscape composition: a 1950s ranch on a half-acre flood lot calls for a different design vocabulary than a new modern build on the same street. Our team works alongside Arcadia architects, builders, and pool contractors to integrate hardscape, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and lighting that complement the home's era and the neighborhood's mature landscape, with Camelback's silhouette framing the design wherever possible.

    Common Questions

    Arcadia Landscaping FAQs

    How much does a luxury landscape project cost in Arcadia?
    Scope on an Arcadia lot is set by three things: whether the property still runs on the SRP flood irrigation schedule, how much mature canopy has to be protected during construction, and whether the house is an original ranch or a modern rebuild. Flood-lot constraints and specimen-tree preservation both add work that a standard lot never carries. Our design package tiers and their fees are published on our design consultation page. Construction pricing is site-specific and comes after a walkthrough.
    What's the timeline for a full design-build project in Arcadia?
    Full design-build landscapes in Arcadia typically run 4 to 8 months from concept to completion. The design phase (site survey, concept, 3D renderings, plant and material selection, permits) is 6 to 10 weeks. Construction adds another 3 to 5 months depending on whether the project includes pool, outdoor kitchen, structures, or significant hardscape. Working around flood irrigation schedules and mature trees can extend timelines on legacy lots.
    How do you design around Arcadia's flood irrigation?
    Flood irrigation is one of Arcadia's defining features and we treat it as a design asset, not an obstacle. We map flow paths and grading before placing any hardscape, design patios and pool decks that don't dam or redirect water, and integrate drip and smart-controller systems for new plantings while preserving the flood schedule that keeps the lawn and citrus alive. On lots where flood has been abandoned, we design conversion plans that maintain the lush look with far less water.
    Can you preserve mature citrus and shade trees during construction?
    Yes. Preserving specimen citrus, mature mesquite, and shade canopy is central to most Arcadia projects. We work with certified arborists when needed, protect critical root zones during hardscape and pool excavation, and design layouts that build around, not over, trees worth keeping. When a tree has to be removed for structural reasons, we replace with mature transplants rather than 24-inch box stock.
    Are you licensed to perform this work in Arcadia?
    Yes. State48 Landscape is a licensed Arizona landscape design-build firm (AZ ROC #344120), bonded and insured, and we pull all required permits for hardscape, structures, electrical for lighting, and plumbing for outdoor kitchens. Arcadia projects typically require City of Phoenix permits rather than HOA review, but we handle whichever applies.
