Serving Phoenix, AZ
Built for Phoenix backyards
Phoenix is the whole Valley in one city — flat historic-district lots in Willo and Encanto, citrus-shaded estates in Arcadia under Camelback, and hillside view lots tucked against South Mountain and the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Solterra Hardscape has built outdoor living across all of it since 2012. We design and build the patio, the kitchen, the turf and the planting as one connected space, not a pile of separate add-ons.
Phoenix soil is dense with caliche, so water doesn't soak in — on flat central-city lots it pools against the slab during monsoon downpours. We grade, install proper drainage, and set pavers and travertine on bases engineered for that runoff instead of fighting it. Older neighborhoods like Arcadia and Moon Valley come with mature citrus and shade trees worth designing around, while view lots in Ahwatukee against South Mountain bring slope and rock that call for retaining walls and desert planting. Our turf, putting greens and smart drip irrigation are all built for full Phoenix sun and water bills.

Irrigation
Smart, water-saving irrigation — hydrozoned drip and spray design, Wi-Fi controllers, leak detection, and seasonal tune-ups that keep everything alive and your water bill down.
Drainage & Grading
French drains, channel drains, and proper grading that protect your yard and foundation from monsoon runoff and erosion.
Where We Work
Proudly serving Phoenix
& nearby communities.
Drainage and grading matter more in Phoenix than almost anywhere — flat lots and caliche turn a single monsoon storm into standing water, so we lead with that before laying a single paver. Pavers and travertine dominate here, from full patios to clean surrounds on existing pools. Artificial turf, putting greens and smart drip irrigation round it out for homeowners who want a green, low-water yard that survives the summer.

Common questions in Phoenix
We've answered the most common questions to help you understand the process, timing, and what to expect.
Didn't find your answer? Get in touch →
Do you serve all of Phoenix?
Yes. We work across the city of Phoenix and the surrounding metro — from central historic districts like Willo and Encanto to Arcadia, the Biltmore, North Mountain, Ahwatukee and Desert Ridge.
How much do pavers cost in Phoenix?
It depends on square footage, paver style and how much grading or drainage prep the lot needs — caliche-heavy or flat Phoenix lots often need extra base and slope work. We give a free, detailed estimate after seeing your yard so the number is real, not a guess.
Do I need a permit for a backyard hardscape project in Phoenix?
Many patio, paver and planting projects don't require a permit, but retaining walls over three feet (or any wall on a hillside lot) and some drainage work in the city of Phoenix do. As a licensed contractor (ROC #359628) since 2012, we handle permitting where it's required.
Can you fix backyard flooding and pooling after monsoon storms?
Yes. Drainage and grading are core services. We correct slope, add channels and route water away from your foundation so flat, caliche-bound Phoenix lots stop holding water against the slab.
