Planting & Watering Guide for Scottsdale 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Three Timbers handle the Mirabel ACC submittal for me?
Yes — if you book installation through us, we put together your plant list, prepare a basic site sketch, and submit it for ACC approval on your behalf. Book a free consultation.
What if a plant I want isn’t on Mirabel’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.
How fast can you deliver?
We deliver across the Phoenix Valley Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Free delivery on orders over $150.
What’s included in the 30-day warranty?
Every tree, shrub, and flowering plant comes with a 30-day replacement guarantee. Cacti, agaves, aloes, ocotillo, and similar slow-growing succulents are warranted only at the time of delivery.
What if a plant is listed as “sold out”?
Our inventory rotates weekly. Text or call 612-214-1955 and we’ll tell you exactly when it’ll be back — or suggest the closest in-stock substitute.
