Estate-standard craftsmanship for one of North Scottsdale's most private communities. Travertine and paver hardscape, resort-style backyards, and Discreet Mode quiet maintenance — executed to the architectural standards Silverleaf homes are built on.
Silverleaf sits inside the gates of DC Ranch in North Scottsdale — a master-planned community where homes routinely run into the eight figures and architecture spans Mediterranean, Tuscan, Spanish Colonial, and Santa Barbara vernaculars. The landscape is expected to live up to what sits on the lot. That is a narrow brief, and it is the one we have been quietly working to for over a decade.
Most landscape companies are built to move volume. Nature Formed is not. We operate as a boutique studio — small crews, long-tenured foremen, materials sourced to match the tone of the house, and a pace that favors finish quality over throughput. That is the only way work of this grade gets built.
Site-specific master planning — circulation, view corridors, shade structures, pool surrounds, and planting palettes keyed to the home's exterior material language. Plans are rendered clearly enough to run through a DC Ranch design review without surprises.
Custom patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways, and seat walls in travertine, porcelain, natural stone, and premium pavers. Every joint, bond pattern, and edge detail is laid to finish-carpentry tolerances.
Pool decking, outdoor kitchens, fire features, ramadas, putting greens, and shade-structure integration. Built to feel like the backyard has always been part of the house.
Zone-by-zone irrigation design, drip for desert-adapted plants, smart controllers with weather-responsive scheduling, and seasonal adjustments tuned to Silverleaf's elevation and exposure.
Path, uplight, downlight, accent, and security lighting designed to compliment architectural features at night — never overlit, never harsh. Fixtures matched to the home's finish palette.
Weekly or bi-weekly stewardship with the same crew, same day, same standard. Pruning, seasonal color rotations, irrigation checks, pressure washing, and anything else the property needs — without having to ask twice.
Silverleaf residents work from home, host guests, and value privacy. Loud gas crews pulling onto the driveway at 7 AM does not fit the way these properties are lived in. That is why we built Discreet Mode — our signature quiet-service tier.
Discreet Mode is available for all weekly maintenance clients in Silverleaf and the broader DC Ranch community.
Most Silverleaf projects begin with a private on-site walk-through. We listen more than we talk — the goal of the first visit is to understand the home, the way you use it, and the standards you expect. From there, we produce a written scope and a phased plan. Where the work touches anything reviewable by the HOA, we handle the documentation.
Construction runs with one foreman on site, one number to call, and a single pass at finish. After installation, we hand the property to our maintenance crew on the same standards that built it. No handoff gap. No quality drop in month three.
I've used the Nature Formed team for several years at my daughters' homes in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Nature Formed installed new landscaping for me three years ago and did a beautiful job. Since then, they've become my go-to team — handling everything from regular maintenance to a full backyard remodel.
We've been customers of Nature Formed for 13 years and couldn't be happier. The crew always know exactly what needs to be done and do it exceptionally well.
