Centennial Hills occupies the northwest corner of the valley, sitting a little higher and catching noticeably more wind than the flats. Growth has been steady, so the area mixes filled-in neighborhoods with lots that are still bare. Las Vegas Landscape Pros builds and rebuilds yards across the northwest.
Building for wind and elevation
The northwest edge takes it from the open desert. Decomposed granite goes down at proper depth over a compacted base with edging on every bed, young trees get staked and then released on schedule, and the first plantings go in on the windward side to shelter what establishes behind them.
Those details are what separate desert landscaping that lasts from a yard that needs its gravel replaced every other year.
Irrigation that adjusts with the season
Sitting higher means cooler nights and a real seasonal swing, so a fixed year-round schedule wastes water half the year. We install drip irrigation with smart controllers and set genuine seasonal programs rather than one setting somebody forgets to change.
Turf where it earns its keep
Wind and sun make real grass a losing proposition in most northwest yards. Heat-rated artificial turf on a defined pad gives you the usable green area, and the rest of the lot stays on a desert plan.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the wind seem worse out here?
The northwest edge of the valley has very little between it and open desert, and the higher ground catches more of it. It is a design constraint we plan around with edging, depth, staking, and windward planting.
Do smart controllers actually save water?
Yes, when they are programmed properly and paired with a rain sensor. The savings come from real seasonal adjustment, which manual controllers rarely get.
How long do young trees need staking?
Long enough to anchor and no longer. Leaving stakes on too long produces a weak trunk, so we release them on schedule.
