Landscaping in Mountain Park, El Paso

Mountain Park lots back onto the Franklin foothills, so rock, slope, and drainage are the defining conditions. Retaining walls and engineered grading come first, every time.

Monsoon runoff off the mountain is a real problem here, so we plan surface drainage and swales to move storm water away from the house and the walls.

The soil is rocky with caliche near the surface, so planting means rock-bar work and heavy amendment before anything goes in.

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