Landscaping Design for the Southwest

 The landscape of the American Southwest is characterized by flat mesas, wide open blue skies, and vast, colorful deserts. Southwest landscaping designs possess a charming, rustic, and eccentric style which mimics the natural Southwest environment and reflects the weaving together of European, Native American, and Hispanic cultural influences. From Acoma-inspired pottery to native stone Kiva fireplaces to desert xeriscaping, Southwestern style has a lot to offer your outdoor living space.
