Landscaping in Mesa Hills, El Paso

Mesa Hills lots slope toward the Mesa Street corridor, so grading and low retaining walls are often needed to create usable level yard space and control monsoon runoff.

The soil is rocky with caliche near the surface, so planting holes frequently need a rock bar and soil amendment before anything goes in.

Spring wind off the Franklins hits Mesa Hills directly, so we use decomposed granite mulch and wind-tolerant natives rather than soft mulch and delicate plantings.

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