Plan once, plant last
Amber Valley yards start as graded dirt. Sketch the whole yard, then put in hardscape, then irrigation, then plants. Sleeves under any paving let drip lines reach every bed.
Plants for inland heat
Start with drought-tolerant plants that handle full sun, and group them by water need on separate drip valves. A smart controller adjusts for weather.
HOA approval
Amber Valley has an HOA, which Lennar describes as having low dues. Get the design guidelines from your HOA's management company before you collect quotes, and don't schedule work until approval is in writing. Ask whether there's an approved plant or tree list. Our planning and approvals guide covers what to submit.
