A well-built backyard isn’t finished when the hardscape goes in. That’s just the structure. The planting is what makes it feel complete.
In Arizona, creating a beautiful landscape takes more than picking plants that look good today. It takes a clear understanding of how everything will perform in extreme heat, poor soil conditions, and intense sun exposure.
At Urban Outdoor Solutions, we design and install high-end softscapes that are built around those realities. Every planting plan is intentional, balancing aesthetics with durability so your landscape doesn’t fade after the first season.
We focus on proper soil preparation, plant selection that actually works in this climate, and layouts that mature over time. The result is a landscape that feels full, refined, and alive year-round, not something you’re constantly replacing or fixing.


Choosing the right plants is only part of the equation. Placement, spacing, and soil preparation all play a role in how well your landscape performs. We build every installation to establish quickly and grow stronger over time.

From clean, modern desert layouts to lush, resort-style environments, every design is tailored to your property and your preferences. The planting is never generic. It’s built around how you want the space to feel and function.

Every project includes a professionally designed drip irrigation system with smart controls. This gives you precise watering without overuse, helping your landscape stay healthy without constant attention.

Most landscaping projects fall apart because the design and the build aren’t aligned.
Plans get handed off, details get missed, and the final result doesn’t match what was promised.
We eliminate that problem entirely.
Urban Outdoor Solutions is a true design-build firm. The same team that designs your landscape is responsible for installing it. That keeps every detail consistent, from the first layout to the final plant placement.
Why clients choose us:
One team from concept to completion
3D renderings so you know exactly what you’re getting before we build
Real-world plant knowledge from years in the field
Structured process with clear communication at every stage
Focus on long-term performance, not short-term appearance
We’re not trying to install the most plants. We’re focused on building the right landscape for your property, one that continues to improve over time.

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to budgeting. While every project is unique, we provide clear pricing so you know what to expect from the start.
All pricing is preliminary and may vary depending on project scope, size, and material selections. Following your design consultation, you’ll receive a detailed, customized proposal tailored to your specific needs

Posted on Christopher DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had Urban Outdoor Solutions design and build our entire backyard — pool, landscaping, everything. The whole space feels like a mini‑resort now. The pool turned out amazing, especially the spa. The water feature creates a relaxing environment, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the yard. Everything looks clean, modern, and low‑maintenance, which is exactly what we wanted. The lighting makes the whole backyard look incredible at night. The BBQ island area has become the hangout spot whenever we have friends or family over. The team was easy to work with, communicated well, and kept the project moving. Everyone who came out was professional and respectful of our home. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re thinking about doing a pool or a full backyard remodel, these are the people you want on the job.Posted on Thienne JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Urban Outdoor Solutions. They updated our backyard by installing turf, adding thoughtfully selected plants, and finishing everything with decorative rocks that really elevated the space. The team worked quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality, and the pricing was very fair for the results we received. Our yard looks clean, modern, and low-maintenance. We’re very happy with the service and would definitely recommend UOS to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space!Posted on Diana BaysingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Urban Outdoor Solutions completely transformed our backyard into a stunning resort-style space. From the custom swimming pool and pickleball court to the ramada, new grass, trees, pathways and lighting, every detail was done with exceptional care and craftsmanship. Joel and his team were professional, organized, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire project. He clearly explained the process, kept everything on schedule, and delivered exactly what was promised. The attention to detail and quality of work exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that can handle large-scale outdoor projects with precision and professionalism, I highly recommend Urban Outdoor Solutions.Posted on Casey SaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Urban Outdoor Solutions on our front yard. Joel was our main contact and was easy to communicate with from start to finish. He was responsive, clear, and honest about options and cost. Our front yard started out pretty rough: one dying tree, two sad bushes, bare rock, and an old, leaking irrigation system that caused constant issues. We wanted something that looked good but was low maintenance, and they really delivered. They walked us through two rounds of designs, checked in as materials were ordered, and took time to educate us on which plants would actually work best for our situation rather than just what looked good on paper. The quality of materials was excellent, and the landscapers were quick and efficient. Our new yard now has turf, new rock, a rip rap rock river, low-maintenance cacti and shrubs, a new tree, and a completely new drip system, thanks to Joel and his team! Everything looks great, and is super functional and easy to maintain, and bets of all there are no more leaks to deal with (especially with the rising water prices!) Overall, the yard looks amazing and is much easier to maintain. I’d definitely recommend Urban Outdoor Solutions if you want quality work. I also appreciated that they were licensed and insured as.Posted on Newman Auto NetworkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
