Irrigation Zone
Cactus & succulent

Schedule: Very infrequent — often monthly or less once established. None when soil is cool and damp.

Emitters: Single low-flow emitter offset from base, or hand-watering only.

Overwatering is the #1 cause of cactus and agave loss. AE designs cactus zones on their own valve.

Reflected Heat & Microclimate
Handles reflected heat well

Arizona yards have very different microclimates. West-facing walls, glass, artificial turf, pavers, travertine, porcelain, and pool decking all increase reflected heat. AE considers these before confirming placement.

Root & Infrastructure
Concern level: Low
  • Low root impact

AE verifies pool deck, paver, foundation, wall, and utility clearances before final planting.
