Tree & shrub installation
Plant selection and placement based on exposure, available space, and mature form. Soil conditions, irrigation, and the establishment period are reviewed as part of installation.

GO Designs selects and installs planting, lawns, and garden accents for El Paso homes. Trees, shrubs, flowers, ground cover, and planters are arranged around the conditions of the site and the space they need as they grow.

01 / The approach
Plants do not stay the size they are on planting day. Trees create shade, shrubs fill out, and beds change through the seasons. The design needs to leave room for that growth without narrowing paths or crowding the house.
Color can come from flowers, foliage, bark, and the materials around the planting. A lawn may provide open space for play, while deeper beds soften a boundary. There is no need to give every part of a property the same treatment.
02 / The work

Plant selection and placement based on exposure, available space, and mature form. Soil conditions, irrigation, and the establishment period are reviewed as part of installation.
Lawn installation with attention to preparation, levels, watering coverage, and the intended use. Lawn shapes should work with the way people move through the garden.
Perennials and seasonal flowers selected for the light available in each bed. Different flowering periods bring changes in color as the garden moves through the year.
Planters and garden accents positioned where they support an entrance, seating area, or view. Their scale, drainage, and relationship to surrounding materials matter.
Specialty gardens begin with a review of structure, waterproofing, irrigation, and access for care. A roof or living wall needs its own technical assessment before the planting design is finalized.
Boutique maintenance can be discussed for the finished landscape. Care needs depend on the plants, irrigation, season, and condition of the garden.
03 / Before getting started
Access for pruning, adjusting irrigation, and replacing a plant belongs in the layout. A planting bed that is difficult to reach will also be difficult to maintain.
04 / A few useful answers
Exposure, soil, available space, mature size, and watering needs guide selection. The discussion also includes the desired shade, seasonal interest, and level of ongoing care.
Often, yes. We review the tree’s condition and the work proposed around it. Keeping a tree may require changes to paving, ground levels, or construction access to protect its growing space.
Yes. Planning them together helps match watering to the beds and lawn areas. Different plants and exposures can need different irrigation arrangements.
