Casas Del Cielo Approved Plant List Printer Friendly Version (A version with photos & live links is also available)

The following Approved Plant List (APL) is the official document for Casas Del Cielo.

Every Lot in Casas Del Cielo is divided into two areas, the Disturbable Envelope (the 10,000 sq. ft. building envelope, approx.) AND the Nondisturbable Area (all areas outside of the building envelope).

Plants That Can Be Used Within Your Disturbable Envelope Homeowners must re-vegetate the Disturbable Envelope of their Lot – all plants used must be chosen from this Approved Plant List. All plants listed in this APL are designated for use within the Disturbable Envelope (including those with the ‘*’ designation/Bold Type).

Plants That Can Be Used Within Your Nondisturbable Area If plants are added to the Nondisturbable Area of a Lot, ONLY those plants listed in the APL that have a ‘*’ designation/Bold Type can be used. These plants are native to this region of the Sonoran Desert and maintain the natural ecology of the open spaces & natural corridors that run through our development.

The Nondisturbable Area MUST remain in the natural/native state preserved as open space amenities & wildlife habitat corridors – even dead trees, fallen saguaros and low growth on trees are considered an important part of the natural landscape and should remain because they provide cover for a variety of native wildlife – for example, if a small tree dies in the Nondisturbable Area, it becomes part of the natural landscape and should remain to preserve the natural ecology. All native Sonoran Desert plants/vegetation must remain intact and can NOT be removed (such as bursage, brittlebush, creosote bush, cacti, trees, etc. – NOTE: some plants, such as the bursage, may look dead in the summer, but in fact are alive and waiting for wetter seasons, these plants are to remain as part of the natural ecology).

NOTE: All re-vegetation plans MUST be approved by the Casas Del Cielo Design Review Board (DRB). Submit an Architectural Request Form (found on the Casas Del Cielo website) to the Management Company for consideration by the DRB.
