Tempe Town Lake District Commercial Landscaping

Corporate campuses on the water

Also known as: Lake District, Tempe Town Lake, Rio Salado

The lake gets all the attention. We make sure your entry gets a little too.

The city says the Lake District holds more than 15,000 high-wage and advanced business services jobs, with companies such as State Farm, Amazon, Microsoft and Becton Dickinson. Tempe's Town Lake fast facts describe the lake as about 2 miles long and 220 surface acres, opened on November 7, 1999, with more than 5 miles of paths. Marina Heights alone covers 20 acres with five office towers and a 10-acre lakeside park.

That mix sets the job. Lakeside landscapes get used, not just looked at: people walk, run and bike past all day, and tenants expect lobbies and courtyards that read as premium. We keep shrubs shaped below sight lines at path crossings, prune trees for clearance and storm safety, and pick up trash before it reaches the water. Planting along the shoreline and paths gets extra attention so mulch, granite and clippings stay in the beds, not in the lake. The ducks have enough snacks already.

Big campuses here often still carry turf in courtyards and along drives. Tempe offers commercial, industrial, institutional, HOA and multifamily customers a Commercial Grass Removal and Conversion Rebate of 50 percent of the conversion cost, up to $20,000, with pre-approval required before work starts. We can help you decide which grass actually gets used, convert the rest to desert landscape, and retune irrigation so the new plants get what they need and nothing more. When a backflow assembly fails its test, we repair or replace it and coordinate the retest with a certified tester.
