Frequently Asked Questions
How can you help with the dust and bare patches in my Albuquerque yard?
Dust and bare patches are common here due to wind, sun, and often compacted or poor soil. We tackle this holistically. First, our landscape design focuses on drought-tolerant ground covers and strategic hardscaping like patios and walkways to reduce exposed soil. For lawns, we address soil health with aeration and amendments, then install or repair efficient irrigation systems to ensure even coverage. Finally, proper shrub and tree planting creates windbreaks and stabilizes the soil, giving you a lush, dust-resistant landscape.
What's included in your 'landscape construction' service for a new patio or driveway?
Our landscape construction for hardscapes like patios, driveways, and retaining walls is a complete turnkey process. We handle all excavation, base preparation, and professional installation using materials suited for Albuquerque's freeze-thaw cycles. Crucially, we integrate these features with your overall landscape plan—ensuring proper drainage away from your home to prevent erosion, and tying in new walkways or greenscape areas to create a cohesive, functional outdoor living space that adds value and reduces maintenance.
Can you help save my struggling shrubs and trees from pests or disease?
Absolutely. Unhealthy plants contribute to bare, dusty areas. Our shrub and tree care services include expert diagnosis of common local pests and diseases. We provide targeted treatment, strategic pruning to improve plant health and air circulation, and soil management to boost natural defenses. If removal is necessary, we can safely take out the problem plant, grind the stump, and advise on a resilient, native replacement that will thrive with less water and care, filling in those vulnerable gaps in your landscape.
