Serving Scottsdale, AZ
Built for Scottsdale backyards
Scottsdale sets a higher bar for a backyard. Whether your lot sits against the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale or inside a master-planned community like McCormick Ranch, the outdoor space is expected to match the home. Solterra Hardscape has designed and built across the city since 2012, from hillside view lots to flat interior lots that need a reason to walk outside.
North Scottsdale's foothill lots come with grade, caliche, and views worth designing around. We handle the grading, retaining walls, and drainage that hillside sites in DC Ranch, Troon North, and Scottsdale Mountain demand, then build the patios, travertine decks, and fire features that take advantage of the elevation. On the master-planned side, in Grayhawk, Gainey Ranch, and McCormick Ranch, we work within HOA design standards and deliver the water-wise turf, decomposed-granite planting beds, and smart drip irrigation that hold up through Zone 9b summers and July-to-September monsoon storms.

Desert Planting & Gravel
Native, drought-tolerant plantings and decorative gravel that thrive in the Valley — vibrant curb appeal with minimal water, and ongoing maintenance if you want it.
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 Scottsdale
& nearby communities.
In Scottsdale, the work that moves the needle is travertine and paver pool decks around existing pools, outdoor kitchens, and custom fire pits and fireplaces that turn a view lot into an entertaining space. On steeper foothill sites, retaining walls, drainage, and grading are the foundation everything else sits on. For the city's HOA communities, artificial turf, desert planting with gravel, and smart drip irrigation deliver a clean, low-water yard that stays green through the heat.

Common questions in Scottsdale
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 Scottsdale?
Yes. We work across the full city, from Old Town and South Scottsdale up through McCormick Ranch and the North Scottsdale foothill communities like DC Ranch, Grayhawk, and Troon North.
Can you build around an existing Scottsdale pool?
Yes. We don't build pools, but pool surrounds are core to what we do. Travertine and paver pool decks, coping, and the surrounding patio and fire features are some of our most requested Scottsdale projects.
Do you work within HOA design guidelines?
We do. Many Scottsdale communities like Grayhawk, Gainey Ranch, and DC Ranch have architectural review requirements, and we design and document projects to meet those standards before we break ground.
What holds up best in Scottsdale's climate?
Travertine and quality pavers, artificial turf rated for desert heat, and decomposed-granite planting beds on smart drip irrigation all perform well through Zone 9b summers and monsoon season. We also grade and drain sites so storm runoff moves away from the home.
