The Desert Root

We just finished the hardscape phase of our backyard renovation with Desert Root, and the results already look fantastic. The photos I’m posting were taken right before the hardscape was fully complete, so they’re slightly unfinished, but you can still see the quality of the work. Desert Root did an amazing job understanding the warm, resort-style aesthetic we were going for and then bringing it to life. The travertine, ledger stone, nontoxic turf, and lighting is clean, solid, and high-quality. The craftsmanship is excellent and the attention to detail is clear throughout the space. The crew was a joy to have at the house — friendly, personal, and professional. Our kids looked forward to seeing them every day. The entire backyard went from full demo to completed hardscape renovation in only 7 days, which was impressive. The project was also fairly priced for the level of work and materials. We’re starting Phase Two soon with Desert Root to add the plants and softscape, and we’re genuinely excited to see the finished look come together. Highly recommend this team if you want quality work, executed well and a great experience.

After moving in to a new home with an unusable, sloped backyard, we interviewed several of the top-rated landscape designers in the area. We dealt with no-shows, lack of communication, and sketchy at-best timelines and quotes from several of them. I called Tara at The Desert Root and from the first visit we knew we found a company that actually seemed to want to earn our business. On the inititial consultation we discussed our wants as well as the limitations our yard created, and after returning several more times to measure, remeasure, run string lines, they provided us a plan and line-item budget. We were able to tweak the plan and quote to fit our needs/budget, and within a week of HOA approval (which Tara navigated perfectly) their team began. From start to finish the project was about 5 weeks, which is about how long it took other top-rated companies to return a call. The team was considerate with time, always let us know the plan and next steps, cleaned up after themselves, and were respectful. The end result is an amazing yard that we did not think was achievable. Do yourself a favor and at least call them for a consultation and let them earn your business.

We had the most amazing experience working with The Desert Root on our backyard design and installation for our new build home! They were a pleasure to work with - their communication was always timely, professional, and they answered all of our questions! We wanted a more organic, flowing, and cozy design with waterwise plants and the result is even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you!

Definitely deserve more than 5 stars! The design team were excellent to work with Denzell and Tara for the plants and design and Tony and Jaden along with Tara for the upgraded irrigation system.... They addressed any concerns and answered all questions and came up with a beautiful plan for my front yard.. the crew that came and installed were very detail oriented and made the design on the computer come to life..so thrilled to have this completed by such a competent and talented team…Highly recommend!!

Tara and her team were amazing! They were communicative, reliable, and the quality of the work was excellent. I bought a new home and the backyard was just dirt. Now I have a backyard that’s perfect for any family! The best part about the Desert Root is that Tara and her team worked within my budget! I got another quote, and that company pushed my budget to $20,000. That was $5000 above my budget. With Tara and her team, they absolutely respected my budget, and the original estimate she provided was actually a little below my budget. For a new homeowner, this was so important! There were no hidden, surprises or push to go beyond my financial comfort zone. I would hire them again or recommend the Desert Root in a heartbeat.
