Best Plants to Enhance Your Landscaping Features in Prescott

When it comes to creating a beautiful and functional outdoor space, the right plant choices can make all the difference. In Prescott’s dry, high-desert climate, selecting plants that not only survive—but thrive—is essential for a sustainable and eye-catching landscape. At R.E. and Sons Landscaping, we specialize in choosing the perfect greenery to complement your hardscaping, highlight focal points, and boost your curb appeal.


Why Plant Selection Matters

Landscaping isn't just about placing plants randomly—it's about strategic design. The right plants can:

  • Accentuate features like walkways, fire pits, pergolas, or retaining walls

  • Create natural borders or privacy screens

  • Add year-round color, texture, and movement

  • Reduce maintenance and water usage with drought-tolerant options
