When it comes to creating a beautiful, long-lasting yard in Northern Arizona, choosing the right plants makes all the difference. Native plants are one of the smartest investments homeowners in Prescott and Prescott Valley can make. At R.E. and Sons Landscaping, we often recommend native landscaping because it’s practical, sustainable, and perfectly suited to our local climate.

Cacti with orange flowers in a desert garden, warm sunlight, mountains, and a house in the background create a serene, natural scene.

What Are Native Plants?

Native plants are species that naturally grow in the Prescott area and have adapted over time to the region’s soil, elevation, and weather patterns. Because they evolved here, they thrive without excessive watering, fertilizers, or constant maintenance.


Benefits of Native Plants in Prescott Landscapes

1. Lower Water Usage

Prescott’s dry climate makes water conservation essential. Native plants require significantly less water than non-native varieties, making them ideal for drought-tolerant and water-wise landscaping.

2. Reduced Maintenance

Because native plants are adapted to local conditions, they are more resistant to pests, disease, and extreme temperatures. This means less trimming, fewer replacements, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

3. Healthier Soil

Native plants improve soil structure and prevent erosion with deep root systems. Over time, they help create a healthier landscape foundation that benefits your entire yard.

4. Supports Local Wildlife

Landscaping with native plants helps attract birds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators that are essential to local ecosystems. A native landscape is not only beautiful—it’s environmentally responsible.

5. Long-Lasting Curb Appeal

Native plants maintain their appearance throughout the seasons and blend naturally with Prescott’s surroundings, enhancing curb appeal while increasing property value.


Popular Native Plants for Prescott Landscaping

Some common native and drought-tolerant options include desert grasses, native shrubs, flowering perennials, and hardy ground covers. These plants provide color, texture, and structure without demanding excessive care.
