Skip to content Evergreen Landscape Pros provides full-service landscaping throughout Española and the valley. Our team of seasoned pros specializes in a range of services, including planting, irrigation, hardscaping, fencing, and year-round maintenance. We plan every project around specific on-site requirements, such as local soils, acequia water, exposure, and the valley’s longer growing season.
Elevation and weather swings also come into play with the area’s unique geography and location. Española sits roughly 1,400 feet lower than Santa Fe. This means milder winters, a longer growing season, and many properties with access to community acequia irrigation. Those conditions affect what grows well, where to plant it, and how to water the landscape.
Our landscaping services in Española are designed around the property itself, not a plan developed for the mesa and applied somewhere else.

Evergreen Landscape Pros provides design, planting, irrigation, hardscaping, fencing, and maintenance for homes and businesses throughout the Española Valley.
Whether you’re starting with bare ground, updating an outdated landscape, fixing an irrigation system, or restoring an established property, we can coordinate the work as one project rather than leaving you to manage multiple contractors.
Española’s lower elevation creates a longer growing season and a wider landscape plant selection than Santa Fe. Valley properties may also have deeper soils, more mature trees, acequia irrigation, clay and hardpan layers, or drainage challenges to consider before work begins.
We are based at 105 Cienega St in Santa Fe and regularly serve the Española Valley.
Our landscaping services in Española cover the major pieces of a property, from initial design through installation and ongoing care.
Plans for new landscapes and full-property renovations, including planting, grading, lighting, and outdoor living areas.
Patios, walkways, walls, and outdoor living areas designed for Northern New Mexico conditions.
Fencing for privacy, boundaries, animals, orchards, and wildlife control.
Water-management solutions for domestic, acequia, or combined water sources.
Seasonal pruning, weed control, irrigation checks, gravel and mulch refresh, cleanup, and landscape restoration, including maintenance of hardscapes and retaining walls in Española.
Water-wise landscapes using drought-tolerant plants, gravel, and efficient irrigation. Even properties with irrigation access can benefit from lower-water planting.
Several local conditions can change how a landscape should be designed.
At roughly 5,600 feet, Española is significantly lower than Santa Fe, creating a longer growing season and different planting opportunities.
Alluvial soils can be deeper and more workable than mesa ground, although clay and hardpan are common in some locations.
Some properties have irrigation rights through community ditches, which can significantly affect landscape and irrigation planning.
Valley bottoms collect cold air, creating frost pockets that can affect fruit trees and tender plants.
Many established properties have mature cottonwoods, fruit trees, and older plantings worth preserving.
Properties below slopes, roads, and arroyos may need drainage solutions before planting or hardscape installation.
Conditions vary across the valley and can affect fencing, patio placement, and young trees.
Acequias are an important part of landscaping in Española. Properties with irrigation rights may access community ditch water on a schedule set by the local ditch association.
That affects landscape planning in several ways:
We can design around existing ditch irrigation, including landscapes that combine ditch-fed areas with drip irrigation closer to the home.
Acequia rights, schedules, and responsibilities vary by ditch. Confirm your property's rights and obligations with your acequia association or mayordomo before planning work that depends on ditch water.
Española’s lower elevation allows for a broader plant palette than many higher-elevation areas around Santa Fe. Fruit trees are one example, with apples, apricots, peaches, and plums having a long history in the valley.
The challenge is timing. Warm spring weather can cause trees to bloom before the last frost, particularly in low-lying areas where cold air settles.
When choosing plants, we consider
Xeriscaping and desert landscaping in Española, NM can still include a diverse range of plants. Native plant landscaping in Española uses locally appropriate species while reducing long-term water and maintenance needs. See our Xeriscaping & Desert Landscaping page for the full approach.
The valley’s longer outdoor season makes patios, walkways, fencing, and other hardscape improvements useful year-round.
Hardscaping and stonework in Española, NM can include:
Fencing Services in Española, NM can provide privacy, property boundaries, wind protection, and animal or wildlife control.
Popular options include coyote fencing in Española, NM, latilla, cedar privacy fencing, stone features, and custom mixed-material designs.
Planning fencing and hardscape together can also reduce duplicated site preparation and equipment costs.
Irrigation and drainage in Española, NM depend heavily on the property’s water source and terrain.
We focus on efficient zones, pressure regulation, appropriate controllers, and seasonal scheduling.
We can combine ditch-fed areas with drip irrigation for planting closer to the house.
Drip irrigation in Española is commonly used for new planting because it delivers water directly to the root zone. We install new systems, redesign outdated zones, repair leaks and breaks, and provide seasonal irrigation maintenance.
Drainage is equally important. Properties below slopes, roads, or arroyos can receive significant monsoon runoff. Depending on the site, solutions may include:
Solving drainage before installing planting or hardscape can prevent expensive repairs later. See Irrigation & Water Management for the full details.
Landscape maintenance in Española, NM often means caring for established landscapes rather than simply maintaining a recent installation.
Many valley properties have mature cottonwoods, fruit trees, lilacs, and other long-established plants. Our maintenance and restoration services can include:
When an established landscape can be improved rather than removed, we look for ways to preserve what is already working. See Landscape Maintenance & Restoration.
Cold air settles in low areas, making property layout important when choosing plants and outdoor living spaces.
Fencing for Homes, Ranches, and Acreage
Frost-sensitive plants may perform better on higher ground or slopes with air movement, while tougher species can be reserved for colder low areas.
The same principle can influence patio placement. A small change in elevation or exposure can affect how comfortable an outdoor space is during the shoulder seasons.
We walk the property with you and assess grade, soil, water source, existing planting, exposure, and how you use the space. There is no cost or obligation.
Landscape design in Española, NM can range from a planting plan to a full-property design incorporating hardscape, irrigation, fencing, and lighting.
You receive a detailed, itemized proposal covering materials, quantities, scope, and timeline.
We handle utility locates, test digs where needed, grading, and drainage preparation before installation.
We sequence hardscape, irrigation, planting, and fencing to avoid unnecessary rework.
After completion, we review the finished property and provide watering and seasonal care guidance appropriate to the installation.
Landscaping services in Española are priced based on the scope and conditions of each property, not a single flat rate.

|---|---|
| Area treated | Size of the landscape being installed or renovated |

We have completed xeriscape conversions, flagstone patios, coyote and cedar fencing, drip irrigation systems, and full-property landscape designs throughout the Española Valley. Whether you’re improving a courtyard or an entire property, we can scale the project to fit the landscape and budget. Ask to see recent work near you.

Elevation, soil, acequia water, frost pockets, drainage, and wind all affect landscape performance. We account for those conditions from the beginning.
One company can coordinate design, hardscape, irrigation, fencing, and maintenance.
Mature trees and established planting can be valuable assets. We look for opportunities to preserve them rather than automatically starting over.

Yes. We work throughout Española and surrounding communities, including Santa Cruz, Hernandez, Alcalde, Velarde, Chimayó, Ohkay Owingeh, and Abiquiú. Our crews regularly work in the valley.
Española sits roughly 1,400 feet lower, creating a longer growing season, milder winters, and a wider plant palette. Valley soils can also differ from mesa soils, and some properties have acequia irrigation rights.
Yes. Ditch irrigation works differently from a timed drip system, so we can design separate areas around the water sources available to the property. Confirm your rights and schedule with your acequia association before planning work that depends on ditch water.
The lower elevation supports a wider range of fruit trees, shade trees, shrubs, and perennials. Apples, apricots, peaches, and plums are among the fruit trees historically grown in the valley. We still prioritize appropriate water use and site conditions.
Late frost can be a factor. Warm spring weather may cause a tree to bloom before the final frost, particularly in low areas where cold air collects. Planting location and species selection both matter.
We handle pruning as part of landscape maintenance and restoration. For large removals or specialized arborist work, we can let you know whether the project falls within our scope or whether a dedicated tree service would be more appropriate.
We can evaluate the drainage and recommend solutions such as grading, swales, French drains, or dry creek beds. On properties below slopes, roads, or arroyos, you may need to address drainage before other landscape work.
Yes. Services include seasonal pruning, weed control, gravel refresh, irrigation checks and winterization, cleanup, and restoration of established landscapes.
Cost depends on the area treated, hardscape, water source, site conditions, plant sizes, fencing, and project scope. We provide a free, itemized written estimate after visiting the property.
