About Schilling Horticulture
We’re Different
Our landscapes should be more than an afterthought that gets slapped in during, or just after our homes are
constructed. Often, that’s exactly what happens. In many instances those landscapes are unappealing, boring,
and offer no incentive or appreciation for the homeowner to explore and enjoy their yard space.
A landscape can be a very important investment, both financially and emotionally. Just like a traditional financial
investment, it should be well researched, thoroughly thought out, and personally tailored. The value should also
increase over time. It should be easy to maintain well, and as time passes, should be allowed to evolve.
At Schilling Horticulture, we feel different about landscaping or horticulture as we call it. Just like our homes on
the inside are thoughtful and well-designed to meet our particular tastes and desires, so too should be our
homes on the outside. A well-designed, installed and maintained landscape becomes an extension of our indoor
living space. Inviting you to use and enjoy it, and to explore, through the use of wonderful combinations of forms,
colors, fragrances, and even through movement. A landscape can be beautiful and inviting year-round, with
plants chosen to add appeal even in those times of the year when gardens are challenged for beauty and
interest, such as winter and the middle of summer.

Exceptional horticulture should fulfill 3 main criteria, and all of our work strives for these qualities: sustainability,
function and beauty!
Sustainable
What makes us different is our focus on sustainability. Plants are selected and placed with their mature size in
mind. This has several beneficial effects, especially in the long-term. It assures that the plant doesn’t grow too
large for the area intended, which could create a need for constant heavy pruning. Heavy pruning can adversely
affect plant health. This means over time there is less work and ultimately the plant will look better. In the end it
takes less effort for a happy, healthy, beautiful plant.
We celebrate desert plants, in all their beauty and color. While we’re happy to design, build and work with more
traditional landscapes and plants, we also love the desert plant palette. Desert plants often display beautiful
foliage colors (blues, silvers and purples), diverse forms, and extended flower shows! Desert plants naturally
thrive here in Southern Nevada with less effort and fewer problems. We select species with proven longevity that
are likely to thrive. We even hand-select or inspect every tree we plant. We especially look for root problems
such as girdled or encircling roots that can kill or damage a tree many years after planting.
Providing shade is also something we love to do! By planting appropriate trees to shade the home, one can
reduce the heat-sink effect of patios and driveways. This helps make your outdoor living space much more
comfortable. We plant them where they’re NOT likely to break walls, sidewalks, driveways or foundations.
Making sure they have room to grow!
There are so many more aspects of how our work seeks to be sustainable.
Functional
The landscape work we do is also very functional. We want the landscapes we design, build and maintain to be
usable by our clients, in whatever fashion they desire. Whether you want to entertain large parties or have a
quiet meditation spot, we design to meet your needs. We can creatively block objectionable views and frame
desired ones. Your landscape should be a creation that works for you and our environment!
Beautiful
Along with being sustainable and functional, we want your landscape to be truly beautiful. We interview our
clients to find their aesthetic preferences and then work to create the beauty that will most speak to them. We
often combine plants of different textures, forms and colors that will bring interest and variety together in
stunning ways. We can design to invite and sustain wildlife or bring elements of sound, movement, color and
fragrance to your landscape.
“I’m amazed at the pleasure my husband and I get from strolling through our yard, Our back yard is busy with
ladybugs, hummingbirds, and butterflies! I never tire of looking at it, as there is always something new!”
