Think Habitat
It's more than a landscape! It's a movement!
Think of your yard as a home to birds, butterflies and pollinators. Your yard, in combination with all the other yards in the urban environment, can help sustain and build habitat for many desert animals that have been losing their homes to human development for centuries. It's time to start inviting wildlife back into the urban environment. Join in!
Greenfire strives to balance your yard with the natural environment. Why is this important? The Sonoran Desert is an incredibly fragile place. For many years now most conventional landscapers have used the scrape and cover with decorative rock plan. Greenfire Ecological Landscaping specializes in designing, building, and maintaining sustainable residential landscapes that bring basic ecological function back into your yard. Our goal is to create beautiful landscapes that attract beautiful birds, butterflies and other wonderful desert fauna. Using native plants, water harvesting techniques and our knowledge of the inter-relationships between living things, non-living things, and the environment Greenfire creates landscapes that conserve natural resources, preserve biodiversity, and protect the environment. At Greenfire we have an understanding of natural systems — geology, climate, soils, plants, and ecology.We incorporate this knowledge with landscape design, construction, and maintenance to make ecologically-sound decisions for your property. We differ from conventional landscapers through our approach, techniques, and products used while managing the soil, plant life, and landscape.We strive to create gardens in an environmentally responsible way with a goal to improve and enhance the site conditions for both humans and wildlife alike.
