I have had an un-landscaped front yard for 5+ years because I don't want to do it wrong. Of the 5 contractors I had give me ideas with estimates, NONE of them ever got back with me. I figured it was harder than I thought.
anyway, What are the methods, layer by layer that landscaping material needs to be laid? How can I keep weeds from growing through underlayment and new landscaping? What are the most mainenance free desert plants I can landscape with? What watering system should be used?
Your best bet is to look around your neighborhood to see who has to maintain their yard, and who doesn't. There are so many options out there, it is difficult offer a single suggestion. If you want to xeriscape, you won't need a watering system; once your plants are well established, they will survive on what nature provides.
Do not be afraid, if you make a mistake, you can correct it. Change is good, but you have to put in something that may or may not be the look you're looking for. If you don't do anything, you'll never know.
You don't have to do the whole yard at once, just start with one area, come up with a plan, and then execute it. Make sure you consider the view from the inside of your house as well as curb appeal.

I currently own a landscaping company in Arizona and we have all of our licenses, insurance, and bonds. Me and a partner are going a start a seperate company focused exclusively on curbing. This new company would be its own seperate entity with myself owning atleast 51%,I am the qualifying party and officer on that license but it was for my current company. Would I be able to use my contractors license from my current company with my new business?

I have just moved here (Arizona) from Indiana and am going to be doing some landscaping in my backyard now that my pool is complete. I want to include some palm trees, but I'm not sure which ones will be less invasive or require less maintenance. The lamdscaper recommended queen palms, but they're not the prettiest things I've ever seen :)
canary island date palms and sago palms are great. also mazari palms are very strong. mexican fan palms are a bit too common, but are nice as well.

I live in Arizona and have "desert landscaping" - that is, no grass just small rocks in my yard. I'm wondering what the best way is to manage the grasses and weeds that come up through the rocks. This happens all year long but more often in the winter (now) and less often in the summer months. I've tried some weed killers which have been so-so - I spend a lot of time spraying but not all get killed. Should I just pull them out by hand? :-(
Thanks!!!
I also live in Arizona, and weeds are horrible!! And they come in real strong right after it rains. Usually, we'll spray all over big time right after it rains to prevent them from growing in. Otherwise, it's best to put on some gloves and pick them. Then make sure you spray all over after you pick them. A lot of times if a piece of the weed you picked gets on the ground, more weeds grow. Just a few ideas! Hope it helps!!

Landscaping In Arizona By Zone
The USDA plant hardiness zone map is a fantastic tool that every gardener and landscaper should use when planning what plants to place in their yard. The map breaks down the country into zones based on climate. If you are careful to choose plants that have been labeled for your zone, they should not only survive, but also thrive, under the right soil conditions in your yard. When landscaping in Arizona, it is especially important to know exactly which zone you live in. The state contains so many zones that if you don’t pay close attention, it can be easy to purchase plants that won’t do well in your city. Once you find out exactly what zone your Arizona landscaping project will be...

The first time I stepped off the bus in Arizona, I was greeted by some spectacular landscaping. Though the desert was much hotter then where I had come from and I was dressed way to warm, I couldn’t help but notice the wide array of floral designs that were all around me. One of my greatest loves or past time is landscaping. I remember how the local people stared at me for I was truly out of place. I was as much an oddity to them as they were to me.
I have studied plants for many years in search of medicines that can be helpful for those that have lost faith or just slipped through the cracks of modern medicine. So you can imagine my excitement to see so many kinds of plants. Today I would like to share some pictures with all that are interested. I will endeavour to give a brief description of each plant.
