The Frye-Thundercloud project highlights how creative design and high-quality materials can bring a desert hillside property to life. Located in Queen Creek, this transformation included a Belgard paver driveway, porcelain patio, outdoor kitchen, and synthetic turf installation—all tied together with natural desert landscaping. The combination of modern hardscapes with sustainable greenery created a unique balance of elegance and function.
Because the property sits on a hillside, this project required careful planning for grading, drainage, and material selection. Our team designed solutions that not only improved the flow and usability of the outdoor spaces but also enhanced safety and long-term durability. The finished result delivers a functional yet beautiful outdoor environment that complements the desert terrain.
Design Highlights of the Frye-Thundercloud Project
The focus was on maximizing usability and blending modern design with Arizona’s desert surroundings.
We began with the structural work—installing Belgard pavers for the driveway to provide a strong and visually striking entrance. The porcelain patio was added to create a comfortable space for seating and gatherings, offering a sophisticated contrast to the natural desert backdrop.
The outdoor kitchen was designed as the centerpiece of the backyard, providing both form and function. Synthetic turf was installed in key areas to add vibrant green accents, reducing maintenance and water use while enhancing curb appeal. Together, these elements created a seamless outdoor environment designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
The Frye-Thundercloud project showcases how Greenstar Eco can turn challenging desert landscapes into functional outdoor living spaces. By combining sustainable materials, modern finishes, and thoughtful design, we created a hillside home environment that blends perfectly with its natural surroundings.
