Large Tree Installation in Scottsdale
A mature tree can completely transform a property. Whether you're looking for shade, privacy, curb appeal, or a more established landscape, boxed trees provide immediate results that smaller nursery trees simply can't match.

Instant Shade, Privacy, and Curb Appeal
Some landscape improvements take years to make an impact. Large trees can transform a property the day they are installed.
A properly placed tree can create shade, soften block walls, improve privacy, lower heat around outdoor living areas, and make a yard feel finished.
At Eclipse Landscape & Design, we help homeowners choose the right trees and install them with the irrigation and finishing details needed for Arizona conditions.

Privacy Landscaping Options
Every property is different. Some homes need a dense hedge along a block wall while others need mature trees, trellises, vines, or layered plantings.
Green Hopseed
A clean, modern hedge option that grows quickly and works well along block walls.
Ficus Nitida
Dense privacy, strong screening, and a formal hedge appearance with routine trimming.
Steel Trellis & Jasmine
A good option for narrow areas where homeowners want height without a bulky hedge.
Large Boxed Trees
Used for instant height, shade, privacy, and screening from neighboring homes.
Proper Irrigation Matters
One of the most common reasons trees struggle after installation is improper watering. Large trees and privacy hedges need the right watering plan during establishment.
We install and adjust drip irrigation systems for trees, hedges, cactus, and desert plants. Learn more about our Scottsdale and Cave Creek irrigation installation services.
