Service areas / North Las Vegas
Most of the backyards we are called to in North Las Vegas are the same on day one: a graded pad, a block wall and a hose bib. What happens in the first ninety days decides what the yard costs for the next ten years.
North Las Vegas, NVNorth Las Vegas is the part of the valley where we most often start with nothing. The newer tracts out toward Aliante, Valley Vista and Tule Springs hand over a graded pad, a block wall and a single hose bib, and everything that turns that into a backyard is still in front of you.
That is an advantage, and it is worth using properly. On a bare lot you get to make the buried decisions in the right order for once: irrigation mainline, sleeves under the future deck, conduit for lighting, a gas stub where the kitchen might go and a feed to wherever the pool equipment will live. All of it is cheap while the ground is open. All of it is a saw cut and a patch once the concrete is down. The single most common thing we are asked to repair here is not a broken system, it is a missing one.
The second thing that matters on these lots is elevation. They are close to flat, which people read as easy, and it is the opposite: a flat lot has no natural answer to where water goes once you have added a deck, a raised bed and a lawn. We set the finished heights across the whole yard as one drawing so the first real storm confirms the plan rather than discovering it.
The third is soil. Tract grading leaves the top layers compacted hard, and a planting hole cut to the size of the pot in that material holds water like a bucket and stalls the plant. Beds here get opened up properly. It is the least visible line on the estimate and the one that decides whether the yard looks like it belongs to the house in three years or still looks new.
Local conditions
Sleeves, conduit, gas and irrigation mainline go in before the concrete, not after it. This sounds obvious and it is the single most common thing we find missing on a North Las Vegas yard that was done in pieces by three different people. A lighting run, a future kitchen gas line and a pool equipment feed cost almost nothing while the dirt is open and cost a saw cut through your new deck afterwards.
Most of the tracts out here are close to level, and the builder graded the pad to move water off the house and nowhere in particular after that. Once you add a deck, a turf lawn and raised planters you have changed where water goes. We set the finished elevations for the whole yard as one plan so that the first real storm is not the survey.
Tract grading compacts the top layers hard, and a plant pit dug to exactly the size of the container in that material becomes a bucket. Beds get broken up wider and deeper than the root ball here as standard. It is the cheapest part of the job and the one that decides whether the yard looks established in year three.
On a newer lot the side yard gate and the distance between the house and the wall decide whether a pool is dug by machine or by a crew and a conveyor, and the difference is real money. We measure the gate and the clear width on the first visit, because there is no point designing a shell that cannot physically reach the back of the property.
New tract homes are delivered with a certified grading and drainage plan, and altering the lot so water leaves it somewhere new is how a homeowner inherits a problem with both the city and the neighbor. Everything we build here is designed to keep discharge where the approved plan put it.
What we do here
New pool construction on tract lots, planned around gate access and the equipment pad location before the shape is drawn. On the tighter Valley Vista and Azure lots the pad and the setback decide the pool, not the other way around.
Full backyard design, planting, irrigation and lighting for lots handed over bare. This is the service most North Las Vegas owners actually need first, because it sets the elevations, the utility runs and the drainage that everything else has to live with.
Paver patios, patio covers, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire features. Shade is not a luxury on a west-facing Aliante or Eldorado backyard with no mature trees, it is what makes the space usable between May and September.
Turf installation on a properly built and compacted base, with drainage designed into the section rather than assumed. On flat lots this is where most of the failures we are asked to fix come from.
Weekly cleaning, water balancing, filter and pump service across Aliante, Craig Ranch, Eldorado and the Tule Springs villages. New pools need their first season watched more closely than an established one, and plaster curing chemistry is not a set-and-forget.

Permitting for work inside this area goes through City of North Las Vegas. If your street is not on the list above, call and ask: the boundary matters more than the postcode, and we would rather tell you it is outside our area than drive out and waste your morning.
Common questions
Design both at once, build the pool first. The pool dictates elevations, access and where the equipment lives, so a landscape built around a pool that does not exist yet almost always gets partly demolished. Designing them together and building in that order is the cheapest path.
Utilities and grade, then shade, then surfaces, then planting. The buried work and the finished elevations are the only parts that are expensive to change later. Planting and even turf can be phased without penalty; a missing conduit under a finished deck cannot.
Yes. Projects inside the city limits permit through North Las Vegas rather than Clark County, and residential pool barrier and inspection requirements are reviewed there. We prepare and submit the drawings.
