Frequently Asked Questions

Quality artificial turf installed in Arizona typically lasts 15–20 years with proper maintenance. At EH Landscaping LLC, we use turf varieties rated for extreme heat and UV exposure, along with professional base prep and drainage to maximize longevity in Mesa's desert climate.

Artificial turf eliminates the need for frequent watering, mowing, and fertilizing—ideal for Mesa's water restrictions and dry climate. It stays green year-round, reduces maintenance costs, and withstands heavy foot traffic and pet use without browning or bare spots.

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing evaporation and runoff common with traditional sprinklers. At EH Landscaping LLC, we design systems that match Arizona's desert conditions, often cutting water use by 30–50% while keeping plants healthier.

Quality pavers resist cracking because they flex slightly with temperature changes, unlike poured concrete. We install pavers with proper base compaction and joint sand, which allows them to handle Mesa's seasonal temperature swings—from freezing nights to 115°F summers—without damage.

Flagstone offers a natural, irregular look with unique shapes and earthy tones, while pavers provide uniform shapes and precise patterns. Both resist Arizona heat and fading, but pavers allow for tighter joints and smoother surfaces, ideal for dining furniture and high-traffic areas.

Size, stone type, pattern complexity, and site prep all impact patio cost. Projects requiring extensive grading, custom edging, or premium stone colors cost more, but precision leveling and quality materials ensure smooth, durable surfaces that last through Mesa's seasonal temperature swings.
