Serving Paradise Valley, AZ
Built for Paradise Valley estates
Paradise Valley is a town of custom estates on acre-plus lots, where the backyard is the point. Most homes here sit between Camelback and Mummy Mountain on land zoned for low density and open space, so the outdoor space is large, private, and visible from every room. Solterra builds the hardscape that matches that standard, from travertine surrounds on existing pools to graded view terraces that hold a hillside lot.
A lot on the flanks of Camelback or Mummy Mountain rarely sits flat. Slopes of 15 percent or more fall under the town's Hillside Building Committee, which reviews grading, drainage, retaining walls, and exterior lighting before anything gets built. We design retaining walls and drainage that work with that review, not against it, and we plan native plant preservation around the saguaros and palo verde that are protected on these lots. Our outdoor lighting is laid out to respect Paradise Valley's low-glare lighting ordinance, so the mountain stays the view at night instead of the glare.

Where We Work
Proudly serving Paradise Valley
& nearby communities.
Travertine and paver pool decks are the core request here, since nearly every estate has an existing pool that deserves a surround to match the house. Retaining walls, drainage, and grading carry the load on hillside and view lots where elevation has to be managed before anything else is built. Outdoor kitchens, fire features, and low-glare landscape lighting round out the indoor-outdoor living these homes are designed around.

Didn't find your answer? Get in touch →
Do you serve Paradise Valley?
Yes. Paradise Valley is a core service area for Solterra Hardscape, alongside the rest of the Phoenix metro. We work on estates across Camelback Country Estates, Mummy Mountain, Clearwater Hills, and the surrounding town.
Can you build a travertine or paver pool deck around our existing pool?
Yes, and that is one of our most-requested projects in Paradise Valley. Solterra does not build pools, but we design and install travertine and paver surrounds, decks, and patios around the pool you already have.
Our lot is on a slope and falls under the Hillside Building Committee. Can you handle that?
Yes. We design retaining walls, grading, and drainage for hillside lots with slopes of 15 percent or greater, with the town's Hillside review in mind, including native plant preservation for protected saguaros and palo verde.
Does your outdoor lighting meet Paradise Valley's lighting rules?
Yes. We plan and install low-glare landscape lighting designed to work with the town's outdoor lighting ordinance, so paths, trees, and architecture are lit without washing out the night sky or your mountain views.
