Desert landscaping in Las Vegas requires careful planning and the help of experienced landscapers who thoroughly understand which plants grow the best in the sandy soil, warm temperatures and dry air. Although there are not as many flowering plants that are able to thrive in a desert environment compared with more temperate areas, you can still add color and excitement to your landscape with these three types of lawn ornaments.
Sun Face Art
Sun face art is right at home in the desert landscape. You could choose a piece of metal or terra cotta sand art and hang it on the wall of your garden or backyard. If your hardscape does not include a wall, you could choose a piece of artwork that is fitted onto a stake that can be placed into your bed of succulents or another area of your property.
Wind-activated Spinners
Wind-activated spinners such as pinwheels are another fun choice for your desert landscape. The winds that blow through the desert will set these decorations into motion. Wind spinners come in a rainbow of colors and styles. You can find pieces that are soldered onto stakes or pieces that have a hook for hanging on an awning, trellis or gazebo. The landscapers could install it for you and work the spinners into your overall landscape design.
Solar Lighting
Solar lighting is designed to complement the existing lighting around the exterior of your property. Instead of selecting bland, bulk solar lights from a big box store, consider choosing a more artistic type. You could get solar lights that feature blown glass that looks like it is glowing as it releases the energy it has collected from the sun. Solar lighting is particularly effective in the Las Vegas area.
