Gorilla Landscape - Albuquerque's Experienced Landscapers

In our dry climate, larger, chunkier organic mulches like cedar or pine bark nuggets are excellent. They break down slowly and create a better barrier against evaporation than fine mulches. For vegetable gardens, compost or straw works well to retain moisture and improve soil. We can assess your specific beds and recommend the best material and application depth to maximize water retention.

Bare patches in Albuquerque are often caused by a combination of compacted soil, poor irrigation coverage, and heat stress. We don't just throw down seed; we diagnose the root cause. Our service includes core aeration to relieve compaction, soil testing and amendment with organic matter to improve water absorption, and adjusting or repairing your irrigation system to ensure even coverage before overseeding with a drought-tolerant grass blend suited for our area.

Absolutely. Water efficiency is central to our approach. We offer audits of your current landscape to identify waste, such as mulch that's too thin or irrigation running at the wrong time of day. Solutions can include upgrading to drip irrigation in beds, installing smart controllers, applying wetting agents to soil, and recommending native or adapted plants that require less water, all while keeping your yard looking vibrant and healthy.
