Landscape Designers/Craftspeople
Ensuring that your home is properly oriented
and shaded from Scottsdale’s intense sunlight is an important issue for home
design. “I like to get a landscape architect involved with the project as soon
as the client hires me,” says designer Cathy Hayes. In addition to choosing the
proper plants for outdoor appeal, Scottsdale homeowners rely on local
craftspeople to add unique accents to their home interiors.
