Our Company

Rooted In Relationships

Since 1985, Santa Rita Landscaping has built its reputation on strong relationships, reliable service, and a commitment to helping Arizona communities thrive. What began as a local landscaping company has grown into a trusted partner for HOAs, commercial properties, municipalities, institutions, homebuilders, and homeowners throughout Tucson, Phoenix, and beyond.

We believe great landscapes are built on more than plants and irrigation systems. They're built on trust, communication, and a shared commitment to long-term success. That's why we focus on understanding our clients' goals, proactively addressing challenges, and delivering solutions that create lasting value. Every landscape we manage and every project we complete reflects our dedication to building partnerships that stand the test of time.

Our History

Since 1985, Santa Rita Landscaping has been helping Arizona communities create and maintain outdoor environments. Founded in Tucson, the company built its reputation on quality workmanship, responsive service, and long-term client relationships. Over the decades, Santa Rita expanded its capabilities to include landscape management, irrigation management, arbor care, landscape construction, design, and enhancement services, becoming a trusted partner for HOAs, commercial properties, municipalities, institutions, homebuilders, and homeowners throughout Southern Arizona.

As the company continued to grow, Santa Rita expanded into the Phoenix market in 2021, bringing its proven approach to landscape management and client service to communities across Central Arizona. In 2022, Santa Rita merged with Four Peaks Landscape Management, combining the strengths of two respected Arizona landscape companies to better serve clients throughout the state. The following year, Santa Rita joined the HeartLand family of companies, gaining access to additional resources, expertise, and opportunities while continuing to operate with the local leadership, relationships, and commitment to service that have defined the company for nearly 40 years.

Today, Santa Rita Landscaping proudly serves clients across Arizona, combining deep local roots with the strength of a national network. While much has changed since 1985, our focus remains the same: building lasting relationships, investing in our people, and delivering landscape solutions that create value for the communities we serve.

From the design process to the artisan style installation-everyone we met was dialed in and great to work with.  This is our second project and both exceeded our expectations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose to work with Santa Rita after Matt came out and gave me an estimate. He was amazing throughout the process, envisioning the project and flexible when I wanted to add a few things. He stayed on top of the crew and made sure everything was excellent. They installed a drip system, plants and decomposed granite. Many many thanks to Matt, I’d highly recommend them!

She could see the vision we had for our yard and created a landscape plan that met all of our needs and wants. It turned out beautifully beyond our expectations. She was so knowledgeable, creative, friendly and a true pleasure to work with! We also had Jose as our on site foreman. He was absolutely fantastic, as well! We recommend Santa Rita 100%!!
