Landscaping in The Lakes

The Lakes is a central Tempe neighborhood built around a series of man-made lakes, with many homes on the waterfront. Backyards here are often designed around the view.

Lakefront yards benefit from patios and lighting that face the water, planting that frames the view instead of blocking it, and edging that keeps soil and rock out of the lake.

We also maintain yards in The Lakes on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule, and provide grounds maintenance for HOAs, apartment communities and businesses in the area.

The City of Tempe offers a grass removal rebate for single-family homes: $0.50 per square foot of grass removed, up to $2,000 per home per fiscal year. You need pre-approval before any grass comes out, and the converted area needs low-water plants covering at least 30% of it. Questions go to Tempe Water Conservation at 480-350-8351 or conservation@tempe.gov.
