hat is Native Landscapin?
The Native Guru is our approach to creating and caring for landscapes that work with the Arizona high desert rather than against it. Shangri-La Gardens & Landscapes LLC specializes in native landscaping in Kingman, AZ, using plants and landscape practices suited to our climate, soils, rainfall, and demanding growing conditions.
Why Choose Native Plants?
Arizona native plants are naturally adapted to the conditions found throughout the region. When properly selected and established, native plants can require less supplemental water and maintenance while providing beautiful color, texture, seasonal interest, and valuable habitat for local pollinators and wildlife.
Native landscaping doesn't mean sacrificing variety or creating a yard that looks bare. Thoughtful plant selection can produce attractive landscapes with flowering perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses, desert accents, and trees that complement the natural character of the Kingman area.
Native & Drought-Tolerant Landscape Solutions
Through the Native Guru, we help homeowners understand which native and drought-tolerant plants work well in Kingman's high-desert environment, where they should be planted, and how they should be maintained.
Native plants can be incorporated into an existing landscape or become the foundation of a new desert landscape or xeriscape design. The goal is to create an outdoor space that looks intentional, performs well in our environment, and doesn't require unnecessary water or maintenance to remain attractive.
Whether you're interested in adding a few native plants or transforming your property into a more water-wise Arizona landscape, the Native Guru can help you choose plants and landscape solutions built for where we live
