Shearon Design Collective
Shearon Design Collective is not just a landscape design firm but a unique entity that crafts exemplary outdoor spaces with a white-glove concierge service. Their unwavering commitment to Arizona’s landscape realities and deep respect for the desert’s potential set them apart. They bring clients’ dreams to life while staying rooted in the feasibility of construction. Their designs don’t just remain on paper; they come to life as authentic expressions of the land and the client’s aspirations.
The firm was spearheaded by visionary Phil Shearon, a landscape architect with a lifelong connection to construction sites and the multi-generational legacy of his family’s homebuilding company. His personal touch and lifelong familiarity with the industry make him extremely passionate about involvement in the entire process of construction, ensuring that each client feels valued and their vision is brought to life.
“Our firm, as the landscape designer, is just as critical as a part of the design team as the architect and the interior designer,” Shearon says. “Make sure that every construction project includes a landscape design firm to ensure your outdoor living spaces, pools and retreat areas have just as much attention and detail as the interior of the home. Don’t leave the outdoor design until the end. The best projects we’ve been a part of are the ones where we are Rod in at the very beginning of the project, alongside the architect and interior designer.”
Inspired by the elements of nature and the home’s architectural style, Shearon Design Collective is able to beautifully craft outdoor havens that are visually stunning, give the client everything they want, and more.
