Skip to content Evergreen Landscape Pros provides full-service landscaping services in Lamy, from water-wise design and well-fed irrigation to stonework, fencing, and year-round maintenance, planned for open country, hard wind, and limited water.
Lamy sits about twenty minutes southeast of Santa Fe on the eastern edge of the Galisteo Basin, and it is genuinely rural country. Parcels run large. Water comes from a well rather than a municipal main. The ground is grassland and piñon-juniper woodland, and the wind crosses it with very little to slow it down.
Our landscaping services focus on what truly matters for your property, helping you manage wind and water challenges effectively, so you feel confident in your outdoor space.

Estimates
Evergreen Landscape Pros is the landscaping company Lamy, NM property owners call for the full range of outdoor work: design, planting, irrigation, stonework, fencing, and ongoing maintenance. Whether you own acreage off US-285, a horse property out toward the Galisteo Basin, or a lot near the old railroad depot, we handle the whole property rather than one piece of it.
Landscaping services in Lamy reward a different approach than work closer to town. Properties here are large and largely native. Much of what you own is grassland and piñon-juniper that needs nothing from you, and leaving it alone is usually the right call. The design question is rarely how to fill the parcel. It is where to concentrate effort so the part you use looks considered, works in the wind, and does not ask more of the well than it can give.
The landscaping services Lamy owners hire us for run the full range, and we are based at 105 Cienega St in Santa Fe, roughly twenty minutes up the road. We work this corner of Santa Fe County regularly. That matters when a crew needs to know how this ground digs, where caliche shows up, and how fast a bare patch blows out on an exposed site.
Every one of our landscaping services in Lamy is listed below. Each heading links to the full service page. The buttons beneath are the specialties within it.
Whole-property plans for ranch parcels, new builds, and village properties, covering planting, grading, outdoor living areas, and lighting. That includes residential landscaping in Lamy for homes and commercial landscaping in Lamy for lodging, offices, and working properties.
Walls, terraces, and outdoor rooms that give an exposed property somewhere sheltered to sit. We build paver patio installation in Lamy NM and stone walkways in Lamy NM, retaining walls in Lamy NM where ground steps are needed, plus outdoor kitchens in Lamy NM and outdoor fire pits in Lamy NM.
We build boundaries, privacy, livestock containment, and wildlife exclusion into every project. Options include coyote fencing in Lamy NM and latilla fencing in Lamy NM for regional character, cedar fencing in Lamy NM for screening, stone fencing in Lamy NM for entries, and custom fencing in Lamy NM for corrals, long runs, and difficult terrain.
Systems built for well capacity and long runs, not municipal pressure. That covers drip irrigation in Lamy NM for planted areas, french drains in Lamy NM and grading for arroyo runoff, and irrigation maintenance in Lamy NM including seasonal startup and winterization.
Seasonal pruning, weed control, gravel refresh, irrigation checks and winterization, and restoration of properties that have been left to go. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep your landscape thriving year-round.
The default approach here rather than an alternative one. Drought-tolerant planting, gravel, and efficient drip sized to what the well can comfortably deliver. Native plant landscaping in Lamy usually means working with the piñon and juniper already on the parcel instead of replacing it.
Basin grassland and piñon-juniper are not a blank canvas waiting to be improved. Left intact, they need no water and hold the soil down.
Nearly every property here draws from a well. Its yield and recovery rate define how much landscape can realistically be irrigated, and every other decision follows from that number.
Properties run to multiple acres, but the landscaped portion is usually a fraction of that. Concentrating effort beats spreading it thin.
Long unpaved drives, distance from the nearest supply yard, and limited turning space all affect how material reaches a site and what a job costs to mobilize.
Open grassland means the wind runs through with nothing to break it. It decides where a patio can sit, which fencing works, how young trees get staked, and how quickly bare soil turns into blowing dust.
Hard layers turn up at shallow depth across this part of the basin and change what excavation costs. We test-dig before quoting rather than assuming.
Instead of trying to irrigate an entire property, we focus water where it provides the most value. This might include:
The result is a landscape that uses water more responsibly while still giving you attractive, useful outdoor spaces. Learn more on our Xeriscaping & Desert Landscaping page.
Wind is one of the biggest factors to consider when planning landscaping in Lamy. Open rural properties can have very different wind conditions depending on nearby hills, trees, buildings, and other natural features.
Before installing permanent landscaping, we look at how wind moves across the property and use that information to guide the design.
This can affect everything from patio placement to fencing and tree planting:
Good landscape design is not just about where something looks best. It is also about where it will perform well over time. By planning around wind and exposure from the beginning, we can help reduce maintenance problems and create outdoor spaces that are more comfortable and durable.
For rural properties, hardscaping and fencing do much more than improve appearance. They help define the property, protect landscaping, manage animals, and create outdoor areas that are easier to enjoy.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping and stonework in Lamy can create both practical and inviting outdoor spaces. Depending on the property, this may include:
Local stone can also help new construction blend naturally with the surrounding landscape.
Learn more about our Hardscaping & Stonework services.
Fencing in Lamy often has a practical purpose as well as an aesthetic one. We can help with fencing and enclosure projects such as:
For horse properties and ranches, thoughtful layout matters just as much as the fence itself.
When possible, planning hardscaping, fencing, and planting together can also reduce costs by combining equipment, labor, and material deliveries.
Irrigation on a rural property in Lamy requires careful planning, especially when the property relies on a private well. A well has a limited water supply and recovery rate, so an irrigation system needs to work within those limits.
That means designing irrigation zones around available water rather than running as many sprinklers or emitters as possible.
For many properties, that includes:
For many properties, that includes:
Drip irrigation is often a good choice because it delivers water directly to plant roots and reduces water lost to wind and evaporation.
An irrigation audit can uncover water-wasting problems, such as clogged emitters, damaged lines, or zones watering areas that no longer need irrigation.
Drainage is another important consideration. Heavy monsoon storms can send large amounts of water across open properties in a short time. Proper grading, swales, French drains, and dry creek beds can help direct runoff away from buildings and prevent erosion.
Learn more about our irrigation and water management services.
Landscape maintenance in the local area may look different from maintenance in town, but regular care is still important. Wind, weeds, gravel movement, irrigation problems, and heavy seasonal rain can quickly create bigger issues if left unchecked.
Our landscape maintenance services can include:
We also work with property owners whose landscapes need more than routine maintenance. If irrigation has failed, plants have been lost, or an older landscape no longer works for the way you use the property, we can help restore and update the space.
If you do not live on the property year-round, scheduled maintenance visits can be especially helpful. Regular visits can keep the landscape looking cared for and catch irrigation or drainage problems before they become expensive repairs. Learn more about Landscape Maintenance & Restoration.
Access is an important part of planning landscaping services in Lamy, and it shapes what the rest of our landscaping services in Lamy can realistically deliver. Rural properties may have long driveways, unpaved roads, narrow gates, cattle guards, limited turning areas, or ground that becomes difficult to navigate after rain.
These conditions can affect:
We look at access during the consultation so we can plan the project realistically. That may mean choosing smaller equipment, staging materials carefully, or planning deliveries around the property’s layout.
Access Affects Pricing
Two properties with the same landscape design may have different installation costs if one is much easier for equipment and deliveries to reach.
Planning hardscaping, fencing, irrigation, and planting together can also help reduce unnecessary trips and make better use of equipment and material deliveries.
The goal is simple: identify logistical challenges before work begins so there are no surprises later.
One benefit of living in this part of Santa Fe County is the dark night sky. Good outdoor lighting should make your property safer and easier to use without creating unnecessary glare or light pollution.
Thoughtful landscape lighting can include:
This approach provides useful lighting while helping preserve the natural darkness around your property.
It can also improve the look of your landscape. Instead of flooding an entire yard with bright light, strategically placed fixtures can highlight paths, architectural features, trees, and gathering areas.
Outdoor lighting requirements can vary by location, so we recommend confirming any applicable county or community guidelines before choosing fixtures. We can design your lighting plan around the standards that apply to your property.
We walk the property with you and look at grade, soil, wind exposure, well capacity, existing planting, access, and how you actually use the space, at no cost and no obligation.
Landscape design starts here, with a plan scaled to the scope and built around the water available and the native cover already on the parcel.
You receive a detailed, itemized proposal with materials, quantities, and timeline before any work begins.
Utility locates, test digs where excavation is involved, grading, and drainage work before installation.
Hardscape, irrigation, planting, and fencing sequenced so trades don’t work over each other or through finished work, with equipment sized to the available access.
We walk the finished property with you and leave you with a watering schedule matched to your well and seasonal guidance specific to what was installed.
Landscaping services in Lamy are priced by the same drivers as anywhere, with well capacity and access mattering more here than in most places.
What affects the number
How much of the parcel is landscaped rather than left as native grassland.
Walls, terraces, and patios drive budgets faster than planting does.
Caliche, rock, and grade changes all add excavation time.
Long unpaved drives, tight turning space, and hauling from the supply yard all add to mobilization.
Yield and recovery affect system design, zoning, and occasionally storage.
Linear footage, material, gates, and whether you need livestock or wildlife exclusion.
Larger specimens read established sooner but cost more up front.
Larger properties are often built in stages, spreading cost and letting earlier work establish.
We provide a free, itemized written estimate after visiting the property, and we are happy to plan work in phases.
Property owners have hired us for xeriscape conversions, courtyard walls, coyote and cedar fencing, corral and paddock layouts, drip systems on well-fed parcels, drainage correction, and full property designs. Whether the project is a single courtyard or an entire parcel, we work at the scale that fits the property and the budget, so ask to see recent work near you.
Xeriscape Conversion & Raised Planting Beds
Curved Stone Walkway & Low-Water Garden
Flagstone Walkways & Drought-Tolerant Planting
Both are the controlling constraints on landscaping services in Lamy, and a plan that ignores either fails within two seasons.
Long unpaved drives and distance from the supply yard are planning questions, not surprises. We assess that in the estimate and size the approach accordingly.
Native grassland and mature piñon-juniper are assets. We work around healthy stands rather than clearing to make room for a design.
Design, stonework, irrigation, fencing, and maintenance under one contract rather than coordinating four contractors who each blame the others.
Evergreen Landscape Pros is licensed and insured for residential and commercial work in New Mexico. Every estimate is detailed, written, and free.
If a repair beats a replacement, or a smaller intervention gets you most of the result, we will say so.
Because soils, elevation, and water sources vary across the Española Valley, we design each property around its own soil, water source, and exposure rather than applying a single standard detail everywhere.
We are based at 105 Cienega St in downtown Santa Fe and regularly serve Española and surrounding communities, including Eldorado, Tesuque, White Rock, Española, Galisteo, Pecos, Pojoaque, Seton Village, Lamy, Los Cerrillos, and more than eighteen Northern New Mexico communities. If you are nearby and do not see your town listed, call us anyway: we very likely serve your area.
If you do not see your town on our map, reach out. As we often serve many individuals from outside this area!

Yes. We work throughout Lamy and nearby, including Galisteo, Cañoncito, Eldorado, Seton Village, Glorieta, and Stanley. We are based in Santa Fe, roughly twenty minutes away, and we are out in this part of Santa Fe County regularly.
That depends on the well’s yield and recovery rate. We design the landscape around the well rather than the other way round, which usually means a concentrated irrigated area near the house and native ground left alone beyond it. We will talk through your well’s capacity at the consultation.
Natives and well-adapted species: chamisa, four-wing saltbush, Apache plume, blue grama, sand dropseed, penstemon, and winterfat, alongside the piñon and juniper already there. Anything that needs regular water to survive is a liability on a well-fed parcel.
Design for it rather than fight it. Courtyard and garden walls create sheltered pockets. Fencing that filters wind, like coyote and latilla, holds up better than solid panels that act like a sail. We site patios where they are usable, and we stake young trees properly through establishment.
Yes. Corral and paddock fencing, gates sized for equipment access, and wildlife exclusion around planting are regular work for us on rural parcels. Materials and layout depend on what you’re containing and what you’re keeping out.
Not if we plan for it. We assess drive width, turning space, gates, cattle guards, and ground conditions at the consultation, then size equipment and stage deliveries accordingly. It does affect cost, which is why we would rather raise it in the estimate than discover it on day one.
Often caliche. Hard layers at shallow depth are common across this part of the basin and slow digging considerably. We test-dig during the estimate so it is a known quantity rather than a change order halfway through.
We design shielded, low-level, warm lighting on timers or sensors rather than floodlighting from height. It gives you safe paths and entries without washing out the night sky or spilling onto neighboring land.
Yes. Scheduled seasonal visits covering pruning, weed control, gravel refresh, irrigation checks and winterization, and general cleanup keep a property from drifting between stays.
It depends on how much of the parcel is treated, well capacity, access and distance, hardscape volume, site conditions, and fencing. We provide a free, itemized written estimate after visiting the property.
