AZHS was established in 2023, prompted by consecutive years of record-breaking heat and a discernible decline in plant vitality across the Valley of the Sun. We started with a fundamental inquiry: how can we safeguard and cultivate resilience in our invaluable landscape assets amidst consistent and compounding environmental stressors? As a fourth-generation Phoenician with over two decades of industry experience and a profound appreciation for our urban desert ecosystem, I founded AZHS as a scientifically driven enterprise to address this question. Our methodology is holistic in nature, aiming to transform the prevailing perception of plant health. We believe that each landscape we encounter is unique, and establishing a plan of care should be tailored to specific site needs. I am an ISA certified arborist, OPM certified applicator, ALCA certified Landscape professional and have my SLM and Waterwise certifications.
