At High Desert Designs, every landscape is an extension of the architecture — a dialogue between form, texture, and light.

This Estancia Scottsdale residence embodies our signature approach: sculptural desert design rooted in ecology and elevated through artistry. Each planting was selected not just for beauty, but for structure, scale, and seasonal expression — transforming the landscape into a living gallery of desert forms.

When our clients ask, we deliver. This custom Bocce Ball court, designed by John Drew of High Desert Designs, was crafted to create the ultimate outdoor entertainment oasis. Polished black beach pebbles frame the imported bocce sand, while an integrated LED light strip illuminates the court for seamless play long after sunset.

Where the wild beauty of the desert meets refined design—every space we touch tells a story rooted in the land.

At High Desert Designs, we blur the lines between indoor luxury and outdoor serenity. Whether it’s the rhythm of a waterfall beside a cactus-framed pool, the clean lines of a bath that gazes into the Sonoran wilderness, or vibrant xeriscapes layered with texture and life—our landscapes are intentional, immersive, and deeply connected to place.

Nestled beneath the warm glow of Pinnacle Peak, this Scottsdale estate remodel—masterfully orchestrated by architect Craig Wickersham and brought to life by the artisans at High Desert Designs—redefines what it means to live luxuriously in the desert. The result is a seamless fusion of natural terrain and curated elegance, where every view feels intentional and every plant tells a story.
