Merch we wear on site. Gear we actually spec.

Smokeless burn, holds up to dry mesquite. Our default backyard fire pit when a built-in isn't in scope.

Frost-stable, UV-stable, and the proportions read right next to a 12' header. We use these on commercial entries too.

Commercial-grade shatterproof bulbs. We've installed these on travertine patios that survived three Phoenix monsoons.

Salt cell we install on most new AE pools. 5-year cell life when sized correctly for the gallonage.

Best ROI robotic cleaner under $1k. Climbs walls, scrubs tile line — what we hand off to homeowners at warranty walk.

Mesh + closed-cell foam, no dye transfer to plaster or pebble. The float we point clients to instead of the dyed vinyl ones.

Evaporative cooling vest — works in dry heat where soaked bandanas don't. Yellow Lab to Aussie tested.

The starter splash pad we suggest before clients commit to a built-in. Hose-bib quick-connect, low pressure.

Raised stainless bowl that won't tip on travertine. We plumb a hose-bib next to it on senior-dog yards.

Brushed aluminum, 6" tall. Reads from the street and ages without rust streaks on stucco.

Our own brass path light — 15-year housing warranty. Spec'd on every AE front-yard build with a lighting scope.

Drops saguaros and ocotillos into the right color temperature. Don't use 4000K — washes the desert out.

The driveway paver we use when budget allows real interlock — not stamped concrete pretending to be one.

Polymeric sand that locks pavers and resists ant tunneling. Re-sand every 5–7 years; this is the SKU we use.

Brass bollard light for driveway edges. Brass is the only finish that survives Phoenix UV without pitting.
