Embrace the beauty of the Sonoran Desert

Embrace the Desert with Your Landscaping in Tucson

Your outdoor environment should feel like an extension of the landscape around you. At Cimarron Circle Construction, we specialize in crafting landscapes that echo the beauty of the Sonoran Desert — blending native plants, rock formations, and smart water design into harmonious, livable outdoor spaces. Whether you’re integrating your landscape around a pool or renovating an entire yard, our landscaping for Tucson is designed to thrive in our desert climate while elevating your property’s aesthetic and function.

Our Foundation: A Legacy of Outdoor Craftsmanship

Landscaping is more than planting shrubs. It’s about understanding terrain, microclimates, and how a space will evolve over time. For over 40 years, Cimarron Circle has paired our pool design and construction expertise with comprehensive landscaping to deliver seamless backyard transformations. Our team includes landscape contractors who know how to work with slopes, drainage, and water use to make your yard as sustainable as it is beautiful. You don’t need a pool to benefit from our expertise; we bring landscaping excellence to any property.

Thoughtful, Water-Wise Design

Water is precious in the Southwest. That’s why every landscape plan we create begins with a site analysis that includes soil types, drainage, sun exposure, shade patterns, and existing vegetation. From there, we propose plant palettes composed of drought-tolerant and native species, paired with natural materials to reduce irrigation needs and maintenance.

If there is a pool or spa in your outdoor environment, we thoughtfully design plant selections and layouts to minimize debris and pests, ensuring cleanliness and ease of care around your water features.

Hardscape & Structural Elements: Outdoor Rooms You Use

A great landscape includes structures that invite movement, interaction, and shade. Our hardscape offerings transform your yard into usable outdoor rooms, such as:

  • Full patios and terraces that tie into interior spaces or your pool deck
  • Paved walkways and stepping-stone paths through planting beds
  • Retaining walls, seating walls, and functional masonry features
  • Ramadas, pergolas, and shade structures that balance sun and shelter
  • Custom masonry elements like fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and barbecue surrounds
  • Outdoor lighting to extend usability into evening hours and highlight focal points

Do I Have to Have a Pool to Hire Your Landscaping Team?

Not at all. Many clients come to us solely for landscaping without any water element.

It depends on planting density, features, and irrigation setup. With proper design and initial care, many native and drought-tolerant landscapes can thrive with minimal upkeep.

Yes. Our landscapers are experienced at working around existing structures, integrating with decks, coping, and existing irrigation systems to enhance and elevate your current layout.

Smaller projects like planting beds, lighting, and pathways can take several weeks. Large-scale yard transformations, including grading and masonry work, may take several months. We aim to lay out a clear schedule before breaking ground.

Yes, when chosen and placed appropriately. Our plant palettes favor species that are proven in Tucson’s climate, and we design with shade, soil, and water access in mind to support survival in high heat.
