Questions and Answers
What are the most common irrigation problems you see in Albuquerque, and how do you fix them?
In our climate, broken sprinkler heads from mineral buildup and overgrown desert weeds choking out systems are frequent issues. We start with a thorough inspection to identify leaks, poor coverage, or inefficient zones. Our solutions include repairing or upgrading to more durable heads, installing or adjusting drip irrigation for targeted watering, and redesigning zones to prevent overspray and runoff. We also provide guidance on smart watering schedules to conserve water while keeping your landscape healthy.
Do you offer xeriscaping services, and what does that involve?
Yes, xeriscaping is a specialty of ours, perfectly suited for Albuquerque's dry environment. It goes beyond just using rocks and cacti. Our process involves designing a water-efficient layout with drought-tolerant native plants, improving soil composition, and installing efficient drip irrigation. We incorporate elements like decorative flagstone, gravel, and rock walls to reduce maintenance and water use while creating a visually appealing, sustainable landscape that thrives in our local conditions.
Can you handle a full backyard renovation from design to hardscaping?
Absolutely. We are a full-service landscaping company. Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your vision for spaces like patios, outdoor kitchens, or water features. Our licensed team then handles all phases of construction, including concrete work, building brick or flagstone patios, constructing rock walls, and installing BBQs or fire pits. We manage the entire project, ensuring seamless integration of plants, irrigation, and hardscape elements for a cohesive and finished backyard.
