process & scheduling

Xeriscaping is a smart way to landscape using less water by focusing on native plants, efficient irrigation, and little to no lawn. In Santa Fe, where the climate is dry and the sun is strong, it is a great choice for creating natural outdoor spaces that are easy to care for and look beautiful throughout the year.

It starts with a free consultation. We will discuss your ideas, review your goals, and gather important details about your property. Whether you live in Eldorado, Las Soleras, South Capitol, or nearby, we will create a custom plan tailored to your needs.

In most cases, yes. We remove grass and non-native plants that use too much water and prepare the soil for materials like gravel, mulch, and native vegetation that work well in Santa Fe’s high desert climate.

Spring and early fall are the best times to plant native species because they allow roots to establish before extreme weather. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the dry summers and cold winters make it important to time planting carefully. We can install gravel, stone, and irrigation systems any time of year. Each project is scheduled based on weather and plant availability to ensure the best possible results.

Xeriscaping projects typically begin around $20,000, with costs varying based on your property’s size, layout, and the drought-tolerant materials selected. Read our guide on how much landscaping costs.

Several factors can influence the cost, including grading, soil quality, plant selection, and irrigation needs. In Santa Fe, the terrain and soil vary from one neighborhood to another. For example, sloped lots in La Cienega may require more preparation than smaller, flat yards in Midtown. We provide estimates based on your property’s unique conditions and design goals.
