I am a landscape designer specializing in native desert and pollinator pathway designs as well as lush privacy hedges, irrigation and deep watering stake install. Here is some of the work I’ve done at my own place and designs I’ve made for other clients.

3/4: before photos of small front garden and potential new design of space

5: hopseed hedge as example of privacy hedge that I like to install

Can someone help me identify this fungus I found growing in my ficus nitida berms. It feels and looks like spray foam insulation. Thank you!

Mines a little crispy, but is still alive and recovering while temps below 110. Last pic before the summer heatwave and current pics taken this evening after that intense July weather. Their regrowing clusters of mini leaves compared to the old growth.

My tree is really enjoying the storms, overcast and cool weather it was struggling for awhile with the heat but it’s recovered and growing the goals to get this to a huge 10 ft tall tree so we can enjoy watching the pollinators come and have a nice snack

Did I get a good deal? Kinda stressed about the high payment NGL 😮‍💨

Spotted on River and Baseline. Anyone know what kind of spyware the city of Tempe is installing now?

I want to revamp this area the bougainvillea on theleft side is being decimated by bugs and was hacked to stumps when I moved in. The right side has dimensions in pic. I was thinking maybe doing a hopseed hedge and growing the bougainvillea to cover the wall and keep the garage cooler. I’m open to any ideas as well as potentially removing the bougainvillea and putting something else there to shade the garage.

Purchased my first home 6 months ago and this ficus hedge was already here, but here’s the oldest vs newest pic
