Landscaping in Franklin Hills, El Paso
Franklin Hills sits high on the Franklin foothills with the steepest lots and the most exposed rock of any Westside neighborhood. Every yard here starts with retaining walls, drainage, and grading before a single plant goes in. We build engineered walls, xeriscape, and hardscape across Franklin Hills that hold the mountain and take the wind.

Franklin Hills yard conditions
Franklin Hills has the steepest lots in the Westside, so engineered retaining walls, terracing, and drainage are not optional—they are the foundation of every yard. We build walls that hold the slope and meet the load they carry.
Monsoon runoff off the mountain is serious here. We plan surface drainage, swales, and wall drainage from day one so a storm does not wash the yard out.
The soil is mostly rock and caliche with very little topsoil, so planting means digging with a rock bar and amending heavily.
The wind at this elevation is constant, so we use only wind-tolerant natives and decomposed granite mulch that stays put.

Questions
Franklin Hills landscaping FAQ
Can you build retaining walls on the steep Franklin Hills lots?
Yes—it is the core of our Franklin Hills work. We build engineered block and stone walls, terraced where needed, that hold the slope and carry the load above them.
How do you handle monsoon runoff off the mountain?
We plan surface drainage, swales, and wall drainage from the start so storm runoff is directed away from the house and the walls, not pooled against them.
What can you plant on a rocky Franklin Hills lot?
Wind-tolerant natives like agave, desert spoon, red yucca, and Texas mountain laurel, planted in rock-bar-dug, amended holes with drip irrigation.
Is Franklin Hills on El Paso Water?
Yes, so address-based watering rules and the xeriscape rebate apply to conversions here.
