    Complete Landscape Solutions

    Tempe's diverse character spans from dense urban neighborhoods near Mill Avenue to established South Tempe estates with mature landscapes. State48 Landscape adapts our approach to Tempe's varied housing stock, creating efficient small-space designs for urban lots and comprehensive estate landscapes for larger properties. Our maintenance programs keep Tempe yards pristine despite the challenges of city living. Tempe's landscape conditions vary sharply by era and lot type. The Maple-Ash Historic District, one of the city's officially designated Historic Preservation neighborhoods just west of ASU, carries smaller in-fill lots, mature shade canopy, and design review requirements when work touches a home's historic character, so we plan hardscape and drainage around established root systems and existing masonry rather than a clean-slate build. The Tempe Town Lake corridor is a newer, denser condition: the lake itself was created starting in 1999 when the city closed a series of inflatable rubber dams across the normally dry Salt River bed, and the mixed-use and multifamily development that followed along its shoreline means our work there is often balcony, courtyard, or shared-common-area landscaping governed by an HOA or condo association rather than a private backyard. South Tempe, around Kiwanis Park and neighborhoods like Broadmor and Alameda, is the opposite again: standard single-family subdivisions on larger lots with conventional HOA architectural review, closer in character to neighboring Chandler than to the university core.

    Common Questions

    Tempe Landscaping FAQs

    Do you offer landscape maintenance packages in Tempe?
    Yes, we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly maintenance packages tailored to Tempe properties. Services include mowing (for natural grass), pruning, irrigation checks, weed control, and seasonal clean-ups. Our maintenance crews understand Tempe's specific plant varieties and care requirements.
    How do you design for smaller Tempe lots?
    Small lot design requires creativity to maximize outdoor enjoyment. We use vertical elements, multi-functional spaces, strategic paving patterns, and container plantings to create the illusion of space. Proper lighting and mirror-like water features can also expand perceived size while adding functionality.
    What landscape challenges are unique to Tempe?
    Tempe's older neighborhoods often have established trees, mature root systems, and existing hardscape that require careful integration. We're experienced with working around valuable specimen trees, addressing drainage in established yards, and updating landscapes while respecting existing investments.
    Do you work on investment properties in Tempe?
    Yes, we serve many Tempe investment property owners. We design low-maintenance landscapes that enhance curb appeal and tenant satisfaction while minimizing ongoing costs. Drought-tolerant designs with minimal irrigation are particularly popular for rentals.
    Are you licensed to perform landscape construction in Tempe?
    Yes. State48 Landscape is a licensed Arizona landscape design-build firm (AZ ROC #344120), bonded and insured. We pull City of Tempe permits for retaining walls, electrical for lighting, plumbing for outdoor kitchens, and any structures the project requires, and we handle historic-district design review for work in Maple-Ash as well as HOA/condo association approval for shoreline properties along Tempe Town Lake.
