Vegascape Company
Landscaping Design
Everything starts with the Landscaping Design
Las Vegas has a very specific eco system. The temperature ranges from the 110s to the lowest recorded temperature of 8 degrees Fahrenheit. On average it rains for less than twenty nine days in a year, and even then the annual total is only 4.5 inches. The only parts of the world that are remotely similar, are Phoenix and regions of Australia
Furthermore, our soils are extremely high in alkalinity and very high in minerals such as Boron. Deposits of calcium carbonate (Caliche) are ubiquitous in the valley and heavy clay soils can cause havoc.With the heavy building in the valley –caches of cement, nails and other non-native building materials are common place.
This all leads to very specific challenges for the landscape designer. Through education at local institutions and hands-on experience Vegascape have learnt and successfully plied their craft. Plant selection, soil amendments and irrigation all play a critical part. If the landscape is to do more than survive, but to thrive and flower and provide years of beauty, then a local expert is required.

At Vegascape, we have provided Garden & Landscapes for all manner of clients.
Some of our clients are involved in every aspect, some are involved in none. Whatever the level of service you require, we will provide it. It is your home, your special place. Inspiration for your landscape can be found in many places; magazines and books, neighbors and friends’ homes, from the portfolio of the landscape designer. There are regular shows on Nevada Public Radio, or a trip to the local nurseries can help in formulating an idea of what you would like.
The very first step is our on-site meeting. It gives you the chance to interview Vegascape. It gives us the chance to see the location and aspect of the area to be landscaped, check the soil and to discuss whataims and uses you have planned for your new back yard. We take measurements and photographs, if necessary. Most of all we listen.A preliminary design iscreated, and a second meeting arranged to present and discuss the design, and the foliage and materials selected. The price would also be provided.
