Landscape Design & Build in Nampa.
We design and build complete landscapes for Nampa homes, from new subdivisions in north and south Nampa to established yards near downtown: backyards, patios, shade, lighting and water-wise planting, with city permits and HOA review handled.

Canal Water on a City System.
- City Pressurized IrrigationIn many subdivisions, the city runs the pump stations, mains and curb-stop valves; the line from the curb stop to your heads is yours. We add an owner shutoff valve, so the city valve stays for emergencies.
- Water From Lucky PeakMost of Nampa's irrigation water arrives by canal from Lucky Peak, through ditches managed mostly by the Pioneer and Nampa & Meridian irrigation districts. Full pressure usually comes by early May.
- A Season That Can End EarlyNampa's 2026 irrigation season ends Monday, September 28. Fall planting and new lawns are scheduled around the date, not just the weather.
- Water-Wise by DesignIrrigation is 74% of the water the city's customers use, and Nampa publishes its own water-wise landscape guidelines. Our plans start with drip, a smart controller and turf only where it gets used.
- New Homes North and SouthNampa permitted 1,059 new single-family homes in 2025, most of them in north and south Nampa. Many projects start from a new lot, so we design the whole property once.
- The Lake Lowell EdgeLake Lowell, nearly 9,000 acres at the heart of Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, is ringed by homes and farmland. Near the refuge, planting is chosen to sit easily beside it.
Permits and a Shorter Season.
Nampa permits every fence and runs its own pressurized irrigation in many subdivisions. These are the city rules Nampa projects meet most often; we confirm each one for your lot.
-
Permit
Every Fence and Masonry Wall
Nampa requires a building permit before any fence or masonry wall goes up. Front yards allow 3 feet closed or 4 feet open; perimeter fences elsewhere, 6 feet.

No House Water on the Lawn
City code bars wasting irrigation water, and watering with drinking water raises water and sewer charges, with no adjustment.

Questions From Nampa Homeowners.
Something else on your mind? Ask a Designer
Do I need a permit for a fence in Nampa?
Yes, for any fence or masonry wall. Nampa requires a building permit first. Front-yard fences can be 3 feet closed or 4 feet open, and perimeter fences elsewhere 6 feet; we draw and submit the permit.
What does a backyard cost in Nampa?
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.
When does irrigation water run in Nampa?
From spring to late September in 2026. Districts release water in early to mid-April, and city customers usually have full pressure by early May. The 2026 season ends Monday, September 28, so planting is scheduled around it.
Can we get a rebate for replacing our lawn?
Not in 2026. Nampa in Bloom, the city's waterwise rebate, is on hold for the 2026 season, with a waitlist if it returns. We design water-wise either way: drip, a smart controller and turf where it's used.
Who looks after the irrigation line to our yard?
The city up to the curb stop; you from there. In many subdivisions, Nampa runs the pump stations, mains and curb-stop valves, and the service line to your heads is yours. We install a shutoff valve of your own, so the city valve stays for emergencies.
Do you handle HOA approval in Nampa?
Yes. Many newer Nampa subdivisions review landscape plans. We prepare the drawings and plant lists the committee asks for, and we build exactly what it approves.
