Landscaping in Coronado, El Paso

Coronado lots climb the Franklin foothills, so steep grades, exposed rock, and engineered retaining walls are the foundation of almost every yard here. We build walls that hold the slope and create usable level space.

The wind funnels off the mountains straight into Coronado, especially in spring. We use decomposed granite mulch and wind-tolerant natives like agave, desert spoon, and Texas mountain laurel.

The soil is rocky and shallow with caliche and bedrock near the surface, so planting holes often need a rock bar rather than a shovel.

Coronado is in the El Paso Water service area, so address-based watering rules and the xeriscape rebate apply to conversions.
