Landscape Design & Build in Kuna.
We design and build complete landscapes for Kuna homes, in new subdivisions like Falcon Crest, Crimson Point and Ashton Estates and on established streets across town: backyards, fire courts, patios and planting, with fence permits and HOA review handled.

Our Work Near Kuna.
We haven't published a Kuna project yet. The three below are nearby, in Boise and Eagle.

Basalt, New Lots and City Water.
- Rock Close to the SurfaceThe soil surveys around Kuna describe basalt 20 to 40 inches down, with a cemented, lime-rich hardpan above it in places. Footings, tree pits and drainage are planned around what the dig turns up.
- City Pressurized IrrigationKuna runs its own pressurized system at about 52 to 58 psi and 7.5 to 15 gallons a minute, filled from the Boise-Kuna and New York irrigation districts from mid-to-late April. Zones are sized to that.
- Peak-Hour PressurePressure sags from 4 to 8 a.m., when most timers run, and the city suggests watering at other hours. We set controllers with that in mind.
- Fast-Growing SubdivisionsKuna grew about 61% between 2020 and 2026 and permitted 1,084 new single-family homes in 2025. Many projects start from a new lot, so we design the whole property once.
- Fence PermitsKuna asks for a fence permit and an inspection, with a site plan showing fences, retaining walls and clear-vision triangles. We draw it as part of the design.
- Open LotsNewer lots rarely have mature trees, and open ground lets the wind and the afternoon sun in, so shade and screening are designed in from the start.
Fences, Pressure and Peak Hours.
Kuna permits fences and runs its own pressurized irrigation, so its rules reach most backyard projects. These are the ones Kuna projects meet most often; we confirm each one for your lot.

Permit
Fences Need a Permit
Kuna asks for a fence permit and an inspection. The site plan shows the fence, any retaining walls, the property lines and the clear-vision triangles.

City Irrigation Pressure
Kuna's pressurized irrigation runs at about 52 to 58 psi and 7.5 to 15 gallons a minute, depending on location. That sets how many heads each zone can run.

4–8 a.m.
Peak Hours and Waste
The heaviest use is 4 to 8 a.m., so the city suggests other hours. Wasting irrigation water, or letting it damage a neighbor's property, is against city code.

Questions From Kuna Homeowners.
Something else on your mind? Ask a Designer
Do you work in my Kuna neighborhood?
Very likely. We design and build across Kuna, in Falcon Crest, Crimson Point, Arbor Ridge, Ashton Estates and the newer subdivisions going in each year. Enter your ZIP when you book and we'll confirm.
What does a backyard cost in Kuna?
Most complete backyards we design and build invest $75,000–$130,000. An outdoor living space with a terrace, a fire feature and planting typically invests $50,000–$85,000, and a whole property, front and back, $120,000–$210,000. The real figure is set during design.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Kuna?
Yes. Kuna asks for a fence permit and an inspection. Inside the front setback a fence can be 36 inches solid or 48 inches open, and 72 inches behind the front of the house.
We hit rock digging. Is that normal in Kuna?
It can be. Local soil surveys describe basalt 20 to 40 inches down in places, with a hard, lime-cemented layer above it. We probe early and adjust tree pits, footings and drainage before the build.
Why is our sprinkler pressure low in the morning?
Because much of the neighborhood waters at once. Kuna's pressurized system sees its heaviest use from 4 to 8 a.m., and the city suggests other hours. We zone and schedule new systems around that.
When does irrigation water come on in Kuna?
Usually mid-to-late April. The city fills its pressurized lines once the Boise-Kuna and New York irrigation districts release water, so new lawns and planting are timed to the season.
