I've been using Greenway Tree Service to keep my rental investment looking good! As you can see in photos, Arizona desert trees do not require water, offer shade and can make your property nice especially with the Arizona sun beaming down on your backyard or home. Properly trimmed and trained these native trees offer huge canopies, special lollipop style trunks and make the home fit in with our natural Sonoran landscape and environment. Photos show the same property before Greenway and today maintained every few months as recommended you can see how nice it can look.

Expert Site Preparation in Scottsdale, AZ
Site preparation is the first step toward a stable, functional outdoor space on your Scottsdale property. At Greenway Tree Services, LLC, we clear vegetation and debris, grade the ground for proper slope, and compact the soil so your project starts on solid footing. Scottsdale's soil ranges from decomposed granite and caliche on hillside lots to heavier clay in lower-lying areas. Both types require careful grading and compaction before any landscaping, hardscape, or outdoor structure goes in. Poor prep leads to uneven surfaces, water pooling near your foundation, and costly repairs down the road. We assess each site individually, shape the land to direct water away from structures, and leave the ground ready for the next phase of your project. Whether you are planning a desert landscape, a patio, or a full yard renovation, proper site prep protects your investment from the ground up. Call us to schedule a site assessment in Scottsdale today.
