Many subtleties of the natural landscape have been replicated within the constructed landscape. As a result, selected areas of the landscape are not intended to be thoroughly manicured or “picture perfect” at all times. Instead, we try to honor the natural beauty of the landscape with all the imperfections and idiosyncrasies that give the natural environment “character.” This is not to say that any aspect of the community should ever appear unkempt, but rather that “planned authenticity” has been applied to areas of the landscape design.
Neighborhood Landscape Zone Maps
The Standards for Landscape are divided into seven different areas by neighborhood, each with a unique Landscape Zone Map and Abbreviated Plant List, which details readily-available and sustainable approved plants. The full Approved Plant List and Prohibited plants are also easily accessible. To access your map and lists, click on the name of your neighborhood or call The Ranch Offices at 480.513.1500 for assistance.

To install artificial turf or convert existing natural turf areas to artificial turf the form below must be submitted to the Modification Committee for approval. Application for artificial turf must meet the same front and backyard requirements for use of natural turf as identified in the DC Ranch guidelines for each respective neighborhood. The purpose is to ensure compliance with originally approved plans and so that turf areas meet the minimum size, spacing, function and connectivity to the outdoor living areas, along with meeting the specific artificial turf guidelines and minimum standards that apply for use of artificial turf in the front and/or exposed yard.
