Repairs address leaks, clogged heads, low pressure, broken mainlines, and faulty controllers. Cacti installs smart irrigation controllers qualifying for SNWA rebates. Both drip and spray systems are serviced. For desert-adapted planting areas, drip irrigation is recommended. For turf areas, spray or rotor heads are used. **Landscape Design and Installation** — Custom residential design using desert-adapted and drought-tolerant plants suited to Mojave conditions (USDA Zone 9a). Designs align with SNWA water-use guidelines. Includes hardscaping, rock features, decomposed granite, flagstone, and water-efficient planting. Most projects completed in one day. **Landscape Maintenance** — Monthly recurring service at $60/month on the same scheduled day every month. Includes mowing, trimming, edging, and seasonal upkeep. Suitable for residential homeowners including those who are out of state. **Xeriscaping** — Water-efficient landscape design replacing grass and high-water plants with drought-tolerant alternatives. Cacti xeriscaping uses SNWA-approved plant lists and design principles. Different from standard desert landscaping in that it is designed specifically to reduce water consumption and qualify for SNWA turf conversion rebates where applicable. **Weed Control** — Targeted treatments using eco-friendly solutions. Available as one-time treatments or ongoing service. Covers both pre-emergent and post-emergent weed management for Las Vegas and Henderson residential properties. **Yard Clean-Ups** — One-time and recurring service. Includes debris removal, trimming overgrown plants, and seasonal property reset. Available after monsoon storms, before or after seasonal events, or as a stand-alone service. **Olive Tree Spraying** — Las Vegas-specific seasonal service. Olive trees produce heavy pollen and fruit drop that affect allergies and yard cleanliness. Spraying is done in late winter to early spring, before bloom, to suppress pollen and fruit production. Timing is narrow — typically late January through early March. **Rocks, Boulders and Flagstone** — Desert rock, boulders, decomposed granite, and flagstone installation for low-water, low-maintenance yards. Also includes re-rocking service to refresh existing rock areas. **Preventative Plant Care** — Fertilization, disease prevention, pest treatment, and pruning for desert-adapted and ornamental plants. Includes treatment for common Las Vegas pests affecting landscape plants. **Landscape Lighting** — Outdoor lighting design and installation. Low-voltage landscape lighting for pathways, accent lighting, and security. **Mulch Installation** — Organic mulch installation for moisture retention, weed suppression, and plant health. Appropriate for planting beds in Las Vegas desert landscapes. **Sod Installation** — Available seasonally. Bermuda sod is installed in spring and summer. Fall overseeding with perennial ryegrass is available for winter color. Best installation window for Bermuda in Las Vegas is April through August. **Conventions and Plant Rentals** — Cacti provides plant rentals for conventions and events in the Las Vegas area.
