Planting & Watering Guide for Mesa Yards

Best time to plant

Fall (October–November) is the ideal planting window. Soil is still warm for fast root development; air temperatures have dropped enough to reduce transplant stress. Fall-planted trees and shrubs get a 6–8 month root head start before their first summer.

Spring (February–April) is the second window. Plants won’t be as established when 110°F+ days arrive, so water aggressively.

Summer planting is high-risk for trees and large shrubs. Hardy desert accents (agave, yucca, cactus) can go in any time of year.

Watering schedule

• Weeks 1–2 after planting: Every 1–2 days, deep and slow (20–30 minutes per drip emitter)
• Months 1–3: Every 3–5 days
• Months 4–12: Every 7–10 days during cool months, every 4–6 days during summer peak
• After year 1, established: Every 10–14 days in summer, every 3–4 weeks in winter. Cacti, agaves, and ocotillo need far less.

Does Three Timbers handle the Eastmark ACC submittal for me?

What if a plant I want isn’t on Eastmark’s approved list?

Don’t plant it in your front yard. The ACC will require its removal. Most "unapproved" plants have an approved substitute — ask us.

What’s included in the 30-day warranty?
