Skip to content Evergreen Landscape Pros provides full-service landscaping in Seton Village, NM, with services tailored to the area’s rural properties. From water-wise garden design and well-fed irrigation to stonework, fencing, defensible space, and year-round maintenance, we create landscapes that work with the local terrain and larger lots.
Just ten minutes from Santa Fe, Seton Village has a more rural feel. Properties tend to have larger lots, private wells, and rolling terrain covered in piñon-juniper trees rather than the typical suburban lawn. These conditions call for a different approach to landscaping.
Our work starts with what is already there. Native plants and woodland cover help stabilize the soil, require less water, and give properties much of their natural character. Rather than clearing everything away, we look for ways to build on these existing features and create outdoor spaces that are both practical and easy to maintain.

Evergreen Landscape Pros is the landscaping company Seton Village, NM property owners call for the full range of outdoor work: design, planting, irrigation, stonework, fencing, defensible space, and ongoing maintenance. Whether you are on a wooded lot off Seton Village Road or something more open toward the highway, we handle the whole property rather than one piece of it.
Landscaping services in Seton Village are closer in character to Eldorado than to town. Larger parcels, piñon-juniper cover, well water, wind, and wildlife pressure all apply here, but with the advantage of being ten minutes from Santa Fe rather than twenty-five. That shortens mobilization and makes smaller jobs and regular maintenance visits practical in a way they are not further out.
We are based at 105 Cienega St, just down Old Las Vegas Highway, and our team works this corridor regularly. This local knowledge ensures we understand the ins and outs of the area: the soil, the plants, the weather, and everything else. This makes us the right choice for your landscaping needs.
Below are all our landscaping services in Seton Village. Each heading links to the full service page. The buttons below are the specialties within each service.
We design and install landscapes that make the most of your property, from wooded lots to larger rural homesites. Our services include planting, grading, outdoor living areas, and lighting. We also work with commercial properties, including offices, lodging, and multi-unit developments.
Add useful outdoor spaces with stonework and hardscaping designed for the local terrain. We build retaining walls, paver patios, and stone walkways that work with sloped ground. Courtyard walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits also provide comfortable places to relax and enjoy your property.
The right fence can add privacy, define property lines, and help protect gardens from wildlife. We install coyote, latilla, cedar, and stone fencing, along with custom options for properties with uneven terrain. We choose each fence to suit your needs, landscape, and home’s look.
We design irrigation systems around your property’s water supply, including private wells and larger lots that need longer irrigation lines. Our services include drip irrigation, French drains, and grading to manage runoff. We also handle seasonal system checks, startup, and winterization to keep everything working properly.
Keep your property looking its best with seasonal pruning, weed control, gravel refresh, and regular irrigation checks. We also provide fuel reduction to help manage dry vegetation, winterize irrigation systems, and restore overgrown or neglected landscapes. Our maintenance services help protect your investment throughout the year.
Xeriscaping is a practical choice for Seton Village, where water conservation matters. We use drought-tolerant plants, gravel, and efficient drip irrigation to create attractive landscapes that need less water. Our native plant designs work with the existing piñon-juniper trees and natural features of your property.
Well water, larger lots, and woodland cover, but ten minutes from Santa Fe. Smaller jobs and regular maintenance visits are practical here in a way they are not further out.
Most properties have a well, and its yield defines how much landscape you can realistically irrigate.
Most of the lot is native woodland that needs nothing from you. It also carries wildfire risk that a cleared lot does not.
The terrain is not flat, and summer storms move water through low ground fast.
Exposure varies sharply depending on tree cover and which way a lot faces, and it decides where a patio is actually pleasant to sit rather than merely well positioned for the view.
Deer, rabbits, and rodents browse heavily, and plant selection or fencing has to account for it, or the planting bill gets paid twice.
Hard layers can show up at shallow depth across the corridor and change excavation costs. We test-dig before quoting rather than assuming.
Of all our landscaping services in Seton Village, water-wise design decides whether the rest works. Xeriscaping here is arithmetic before it is aesthetics. When water comes from a well, the landscape has to live within what that well can give without straining it, and a design that ignores the number creates a problem two summers later rather than on installation day.
The approach that works is concentrated: a genuinely irrigated zone near the house where you spend time, a tougher transitional band of adapted planting beyond it, and native woodland left alone at the edges. That puts water where it earns something and leaves the rest of the property doing what it already does well.
Planting leans on chamisa, four-wing saltbush, Apache plume, blue grama, sand dropseed, penstemon, and winterfat alongside the existing piñon and juniper. Established native trees on a lot like this are worth far more than anything we can plant to replace them, so we work around healthy ones rather than through them.
For the full approach, see our Xeriscaping & Desert Landscaping page.
Properties surrounded by piñon-juniper carry wildfire risk that cleared lots in town do not, and defensible space belongs in the plan, not in a separate conversation later.
The work is planned in zones outward from the structure. Immediately around the house, keep things lean: gravel, stone, and low or higher-moisture planting rather than woody shrubs against the walls. Further out, thinning and limbing up breaks the path fire can take from the ground into the canopy. Beyond that, clearing dead material and needle litter reduces what is available to burn.
Done properly, this does not look like clearing. It reads as a considered landscape, and most of it overlaps with the xeriscaping and stonework we would recommend anyway. Guidance changes, so confirm current recommendations with your local fire district or county resources, and we will plan to whatever applies.
Wood mulch against a foundation is a liability in a fire-prone setting, so gravel or stone belongs in that first zone. And a propane tank, woodpile, or shed tucked into the trees beside the house is a fuel problem, no matter how tidy the rest of the property is.
Seton Village takes its name from a naturalist, and many owners here care about what the property supports as much as how it looks. That is an easier brief than it sounds, because the plants that use the least water are largely the ones local wildlife already depends on.

Native and adapted planting does double duty. Chamisa and rabbitbrush carry late-season flowers when little else does. Native grasses provide cover and seed. Penstemon and desert marigold bring in pollinators. Leaving standing deadwood and brush piles at the edges of a property, well away from structures, gives cover that a tidy landscape removes.
The tension worth naming is that habitat planting and browse pressure pull in opposite directions. Deer and rabbits will eat much of what you plant. The practical answer is usually zoning: plant what they will eat inside fencing near the house, and use tougher, less palatable species out where protection isn’t realistic.
We are glad to plan a landscape that supports wildlife without sacrificing the parts of the property you actually want to look at.
On a wooded lot with wind coming through the gaps, the built side of our landscaping services in Seton Village decides whether outdoor space is usable.

Hardscaping and stonework. Courtyard walls that break wind, terraces where ground rolls, patios sited for shelter rather than only for the view, and fire features that extend the evenings. Local stone suits the setting better than manufactured product.
Fencing. Fencing in Seton Village, NM does practical work, not just marks a line. Wildlife exclusion around planting is the most common request, since anything unprotected gets browsed—coyote and latilla filter wind rather than standing against it as a solid sail. Cedar provides screening when a neighbor or road is close. Stone columns anchor entries on longer drives.
Planning both together while equipment is on site saves real money.
Irrigation and drainage in Seton Village, NM, is a different problem from irrigation in town. A well has a finite yield and a recovery rate. Zoning has to respect that: fewer emitters running at once, longer total cycles, and a controller programmed around capacity rather than convenience.
Distance is the second factor that impacts irrigation systems in this region. Long runs from a well house to planted areas lose pressure, so line sizing and pressure regulation matter more here than on a compact lot. Drip puts water at the root rather than into the wind, which isn’t a small difference on an exposed property.
We install new systems, redesign zones for landscapes that have since changed, repair breaks and leaks, and handle seasonal startup and winterization. On established properties, an irrigation audit is often the cheapest improvement available.
Drainage matters on rolling ground. Monsoon rain arrives fast, arroyos fill, and water moves across thin soil with little to slow it. Grading, swales, French drains, and dry creek beds keep runoff away from structures and stop it cutting channels through gravel and planting.
See Irrigation & Water Management for the full details.
Landscape maintenance in Seton Village, NM, is less frequent than in town but more consequential when it slips. Weeds seed fast on disturbed ground, gravel thins in the wind, drip emitters clog with minerals from well water, needle litter accumulates near structures, and a small washout becomes a channel after one hard monsoon.
We handle seasonal pruning, ongoing fuel reduction near the house, weed control before seed set, gravel and mulch refresh, irrigation checks in spring and shutdown in fall, and clearing debris. We also take on restoration on properties where irrigation has failed, planting has been lost, or a landscape installed years ago no longer suits how the property is used.
Because we are only ten minutes out, regular scheduled visits are straightforward here, which is not true of every rural area we serve.
We walk the property with you, look at grade, soil, wind exposure, well capacity, existing woodland, fuel load near structures, and how you actually use the space, at no cost and no obligation.
Landscape design in Seton Village, NM starts here, with a plan scaled to the scope and built around the water available and the woodland already on the lot.
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.
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 Seton Village are priced the same way as anywhere else, with well capacity and how much of the lot is treated mattering most.
What affects the number
How much of the parcel is landscaped rather than left as native woodland.
Walls, terraces, and patios drive budgets faster than planting does.
Caliche, rock, and rolling grade all add excavation time.
How much thinning, clearing, and near-structure rework is involved.
Yield affects system design, zoning, and occasionally storage.
Linear footage, material, and how much wildlife exclusion is needed.
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.
The landscaping services in Seton Village property owners have hired us for include xeriscape conversions, courtyard walls, coyote and cedar fencing, wildlife exclusion around planting, drip systems on well-fed lots, defensible space rework, 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.

Unlike many landscape contractors in Santa Fe, our yard is at 105 Cienega St. Crews are in Santa Fe daily, which means faster site visits, easier scheduling, and follow-up that does not require a special trip.
Ten minutes from base means maintenance visits, small phases, and follow-up are all practical rather than a scheduling problem.
Piñon-juniper woodland is an asset. We work around healthy stands rather than clearing to make room for a design.
Design, stonework, irrigation, fencing, defensible space, and maintenance under one contract rather than coordinating four contractors.

Yes. We work throughout Seton Village and the corridor, including Eldorado, Cañoncito, Glorieta, Lamy, and Galisteo. We are based in Santa Fe, about ten minutes down Old Las Vegas Highway, and we are out here constantly.
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 woodland 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 needing regular water to survive is a liability on a well-fed property.
Yes. We plan it in zones, working outward from the structure: lean, non-combustible materials close in; thinning and limbing further out; and debris cleared beyond. Confirm current recommendations with your local fire district or county resources, and we will plan to them.
Not in the zone immediately around the structure. In a piñon-juniper setting, wood mulch is a genuine liability. Gravel or stone belongs in that first zone, and you can use wood mulch farther out where it is more useful and less risky.
Two things, usually together: weight plant selection toward species that browse less readily, and fence the areas where you want something they will otherwise eat. On larger lots, fencing what needs protecting is more effective than trying to plant your way around the problem.
Yes, and it usually costs nothing extra. The lowest-water plants are largely the ones local wildlife already uses. The practical approach is zoning: protected planting near the house, and tougher, less palatable species out where fencing isn’t realistic.
Usually, yes. Grading, swales, French drains, and dry creek beds slow and redirect runoff away from structures and drives. On rolling ground, drainage is often the first thing worth solving.
It depends on how much of the lot is treated, well capacity, hardscape volume, defensible space scope, site conditions, and fencing. We provide a free, itemized written estimate after visiting the property.
