At Sonoran Oasis Landscaping, we understand the unique needs of Tucson's diverse property owners. Whether you're a homeowner, a realtor preparing a property for sale, or a manager of a homeowners association (HOA) managing community spaces, fall is the perfect time to enhance your desert landscapes. Let's explore how the autumn season benefits various landscapes in our Tucson community.
For Homeowners:
- Create curb appeal: Fall planting allows your new landscape plants to establish before spring, giving your home a fresh, vibrant look.
- Increase property value: A well-designed, low-maintenance desert garden can significantly boost your home's market value.
- Reduce water bills: Planting desert-adapted species in fall leads to stronger plants that require less water long-term.
For Realtors:
- Quick curb appeal boost: Refresh listings with fall plantings that will look established and attractive by spring selling season.
- Highlight outdoor living: Showcase Tucson's indoor-outdoor lifestyle with beautifully landscaped patios and yards.
- Emphasize low maintenance: Promote desert-adapted landscapes as a selling point for busy or seasonal homeowners.
For HOAs:
- Budget-friendly timing: Fall planting often requires less initial watering, helping to manage landscaping costs.
- Plan for spring events: Establish community spaces now to ensure they're lush and inviting for spring gatherings.
- Demonstrate responsible water use: Set an example for the community with water-wise landscaping choices.
Key fall planting considerations for all:
1. Native and adapted species: Focus on plants like:
- Trees: Desert Ironwood, Desert Museum Palo Verde
- Shrubs: Texas Sage, Baja Fairy Duster
- Accents: Golden Barrel Cactus, Parry's Agave

3. Efficient irrigation: Install or update systems to:
- Utilize smart controllers
