Dan Plunk
Co-Owner, Certified Design Professional
Dan leads design at Diamond Cut Landscape. He built the studio's design approach and guides the design team, so the homes we build for feel intentional from sketch to final walk-through.
A family-owned team building the outdoor side of Phoenix homes.
Diamond Cut Landscape is Arizona’s premier landscape design and outdoor living team, founded and run by co-owners Dan Plunk and Mike Carver. Two craftsmen who built a team that carries every project from the first conversation to the final walk-through.
Family-Owned
Two craftsmen who grew a team you can count on.
Diamond Cut Landscape was founded by co-owners Dan Plunk and Mike Carver, two craftsmen who learned the trade in the Arizona sun and built a company around it. What started as hands-on work in the field has grown into a full design-build team.
Today, Dan and Mike focus on building that team and the standard behind it, so every project, from the first conversation to the final walk-through, gets the same care they put into the work that made their name.
Our Story
Full-service landscaping, tailored to the way Arizona actually lives.
Dan and Mike started Diamond Cut Landscape with a simple promise: every yard we sign our name to should look, work, and feel like it belongs to the home it’s built on. Between them they bring more than 30 years of combined experience in design, hardscape, irrigation, and arbor care across the Phoenix metro.
Diamond Cut is full-service by design. Hardscapes, drought-smart planting, irrigation, LED lighting, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and water features all flow through the same project lead, the same crew, and the same standard, so nothing falls through the cracks between trades.
We’re licensed, insured, and we install with certified products. The result is a yard that holds up under Arizona summers and looks better in year five than it did the day we handed you the keys.

Our Approach
Design first. Build second. No skipped steps.
- 01
3D renderings on every design
Before a shovel hits the ground you see the layout, the materials, and how everything sits together. No guessing what the finished yard will feel like.
- 02
Detailed property analysis
We walk your property, capture sun, drainage, soil, and access, then design around the constraints that matter for Arizona conditions.
- 03
One-on-one collaboration
A dedicated project lead carries you from first call to final walk-through. You always know who to call, who is on site, and who is signing off.
