Large Desert Tree & Privacy Hedge Installation in Scottsdale, AZ
Large Desert Tree & Privacy Hedge Installation in Scottsdale, AZ
At Eclipse Landscape & Design, we specialize in installing large, mature trees and privacy hedges that immediately transform a yard. Most of the trees we install are natively grown in Arizona and boxed, so they’re already adapted to our soil, heat, and climate. From large mesquite and ironwood trees to green hopseed and ficus hedges, we focus on plantings that look great on day one and continue to thrive long-term.
Large Box Native Trees
We work with high-quality nurseries to source and install large boxed trees that are grown specifically for Arizona conditions. These trees arrive in boxed form and are carefully placed, planted, and staked so they establish quickly and safely.
Mesquite Trees
Large box mesquite trees provide fast shade, a natural desert look, and strong performance in the Arizona heat. Because they are natively grown, they handle our soil and climate extremely well after installation.
Palo Verde Trees
We install mature palo verde trees for clients who want a true Sonoran desert feel with seasonal color and filtered shade. They work beautifully in both desert and modern landscape designs.
Ironwood Trees
Ironwood trees offer unmatched structure, durability, and lifespan. We often use them as focal points or anchor trees because they grow into strong, sculptural forms.
Natively Grown & Boxed for Arizona
Most of the large trees we install are natively grown and boxed, not imported from other states. This ensures each tree is already acclimated to Arizona’s intense sun, heat, and soil structure. Our installation includes proper hole sizing, soil prep, staking, and irrigation setup so your new trees root quickly and safely.
Privacy Hedge Installation
In addition to desert trees, we install a variety of large hedges that create privacy, color, and structure for your yard. Our most popular hedge options include:
- Ficus Hedges – Dense, fast-growing evergreen hedges that create clean, modern privacy walls.
- Green Hopseed Hedges – Heat-tolerant, upright hedges with bright green foliage and excellent coverage.
- Yellow Bells (Tecoma) Hedges – Flowering, colorful hedges that add brightness while still providing privacy.
We carefully space, align, and install each hedge so it grows into a full, smooth, continuous screen.
Landscape Lighting for Trees & Hedges
On most large tree and hedge projects, we also install low-voltage landscape lighting to highlight trunks, branching structure, and hedge lines after dark. Up-lighting on mesquites, palo verdes, and ironwoods completely changes the nighttime appearance of the yard and adds depth and safety.
Smart Timers for Perfect Watering
We always install smart irrigation timers with large tree and hedge installations. Smart timers ensure consistent watering during establishment and allow us to set seasonal adjustments automatically.
- Correct watering schedules for new boxed trees
- Zone-specific programming for hedges, artificial turf, and planters.
- Seasonal, climate-adjusted run times
- Better long-term plant health and lower water waste

Tree & Hedge Installation FAQs
What types of large desert trees do you install in Scottsdale?
We install mature, boxed mesquite, palo verde, and ironwood trees sourced from Arizona growers. These trees are natively adapted to the desert, making them ideal for fast establishment, shade, and long-term durability in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Cave Creek.
Do you install privacy hedges like ficus, hopseed, and yellow bells?
Yes, we professionally install ficus hedges, green hopseed hedges, and yellow bells (tecoma) hedges. Each hedge type provides different levels of privacy, color, and growth speed, and we help you choose the right option for your yard and sun exposure.
Are your large trees natively grown and boxed in Arizona?
Most of the trees we install are locally grown and boxed, meaning they are already acclimated to Arizona’s heat, soil, and climate conditions. This helps reduce transplant shock and improves long-term tree health.
Do you provide irrigation and smart timers for new trees and hedges?
Yes, we install smart irrigation timers and set proper watering schedules for each new tree and hedge. This ensures correct moisture levels, faster rooting, and better long-term health with minimal water waste.
Can you add landscape lighting to highlight newly installed trees and hedges?
Absolutely. We can install low-voltage landscape lighting to highlight tree trunks, branching structure, and hedge lines. Lighting dramatically improves nighttime curb appeal, safety, and the overall finished look of your landscape.
How long does it take for large boxed trees or hedges to establish?
Most mature boxed trees and hedges begin establishing within 60–90 days when watered correctly. Full establishment typically happens within 12–18 months, especially when supported by smart irrigation and proper staking.
