Services
Custom Residential Landscaping
We create personalized outdoor environments for homes using advanced 3D modeling to visualize transformations before implementation. Our process includes site analysis, material selection, and installation of drought-tolerant plantings. Projects integrate functional elements like patios and lighting with aesthetic enhancements tailored to New Mexico's climate conditions.
3D Landscape Designs
Our proprietary 3D design technology produces photorealistic renderings that showcase material choices, plant growth patterns, and spatial relationships. Clients receive interactive digital walkthroughs and scalable installation blueprints. This technology reduces costly revisions while ensuring alignment between client vision and final execution.
Xeriscaping
Specialized in water-efficient designs featuring native plants and permeable hardscapes. We implement strategic grading and drip irrigation systems to minimize water consumption. Our xeriscapes maintain visual appeal through seasonal color selection and low-maintenance plant palettes adapted to Southwestern climates.
Fire Features
Custom fire pit and fireplace installations enhance outdoor living spaces with ambient lighting and warmth. We incorporate natural stone and fire-rated materials for safety and durability. Designs integrate with existing hardscapes while meeting local building codes for residential and commercial properties.
Sprinkler Systems
Precision irrigation installations and repairs optimize water distribution for lawns and plant beds. Our systems feature smart controllers and drip lines tailored to property dimensions. We conduct water audits to identify inefficiencies and implement repairs using commercial-grade components for long-term reliability.

Questions
How does the 3D design process work?
Our 3D process starts with site measurements and client vision discussions. We create interactive digital models showing material choices and plant growth projections. Clients approve designs before any physical work begins.
Do you handle both design and installation?
Yes, we provide full-service design/build solutions. Our team manages projects from initial concept through final installation, maintaining consistency and accountability throughout the process.
What maintenance is required after installation?
We design landscapes for minimal maintenance using drought-tolerant plants and durable materials. Most clients only require seasonal cleanups and system checks to maintain optimal appearance.
Can changes be made after design approval?
We include revision cycles in our process to accommodate changes before final approval. Post-approval modifications may incur additional costs depending on project phase.
What areas do you service?
We primarily serve Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe metropolitan areas. Our local expertise ensures familiarity with regional climate challenges and material availability.
How long does a typical project take?
Designs take 1-3 days for measurements plus 1-2 weeks for creation. Installation timelines vary by project size but typically complete within 2-6 weeks after design approval.
