![]() Matt Niccum Construction Manager Matt Niccum has worked at Sonoran Gardens for a total of 6 years. He started working summers as a laborer during college, and then as a Construction Foreman and Construction Supervisor after college. He currently holds the position of Construction Manager, and is responsible for the day to day running of the construction jobs at Sonoran Gardens. His years working in the field, on a crew and running a crew, lends him the experience to manage the in-house crews and subcontractors. He is in the field every day meeting with the subcontractors, clients, and in-house crews making sure that the jobs are running on schedule and as planned. Matt strives to make each project run as smoothly as possible creating a day-by-day calendar and project information sheet that anyone can look at during the project and know where the project currently stands and where the project needs to move. He works directly with everyone involved in the project coordinating each piece of the puzzle to create a finished product that is a beautiful, functional, and livable space for the client. After all, the project is for the client, and they are the ones who will live in the space long after we are done building it.

Roberta started her career with Sonoran Gardens in 1999 as a Landscape Designer. She earned an Associate Degree in Landscape Technology from Pima Community College, focusing her studies in design.
Scot began designing gardens in Tucson. His designs show a love for the desert, while creating lushness and softness without adding maintenance and water. He later moved to California and became a project manager and landscape designer with a nationally acclaimed and award winning landscape architecture firm. The combination of his projects include beautiful homes in the foothills of Tucson's Mountains to estates in Northern California and public, educational, and private developments in Tucson and the San Francisco Bay area. Scot has worked with several top designers, architects, and consultants of all expertise in Arizona and California. Besides designing gardens, Scot has taught landscape and design at the post secondary level. When not designing gardens, Scot devotes time in the garden and utilizing plants in the kitchen. Growing plants for food can be an interesting challenge in the desert but can be successful. Other interests include photography and hiking.
Rachel has been working with Sonoran Gardens almost from the first day she became a landscape designer. She worked for a year as the Construction Coordinator, which added immensely to her understanding of the entire construction and installation process. Her designs, installed by Sonoran Gardens, have won ALCA Excellence in Landscaping Awards for the past 3 years running. Rachel enjoys spending time outdoors when not designing. Her interests include road and mountain biking, backpacking and hiking. She is actively involved as the treasurer with her local APLD district, as well as NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) and her cycling team, Summit Velo. She and her husband, Pat, share their home with 3 dogs, 2 cats, a Russian tortoise and a desert box turtle.
