Skip to content From landscape design and planting to hardscaping, fencing, irrigation, and ongoing maintenance, Evergreen Landscape Pros provides comprehensive outdoor solutions tailored to your property’s character.
Tesuque offers a distinctive setting for outdoor living. Mature cottonwoods, established gardens, historic properties, and expansive grounds create landscapes with character that simply cannot be replicated overnight. But maintaining these spaces requires a thoughtful approach that accounts for existing trees, challenging access, varied terrain, and the natural features that make each property unique.
Our team understands that successful landscaping isn’t always about starting fresh. Sometimes it’s about restoring what already works, improving how a space functions, and making careful additions that complement the property’s existing character.
Whether you’re updating a courtyard, improving drainage, redesigning an irrigation system, or planning a complete landscape transformation, we help you make the most of your outdoor space. Now is a great time to see what landscaping services in Tesuque we offer.

Evergreen Landscape Pros is a full-service landscaping company serving homeowners and property owners throughout Tesuque and the surrounding communities. We bring design, installation, hardscaping, irrigation, fencing, and maintenance together under one team, making it easier to manage projects that involve multiple aspects of your outdoor space.
From private compounds and horse properties to commercial grounds and established residential landscapes, we tailor our work to the property’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all design.
Many properties in the area have decades of growth behind them. Mature trees, established fruit orchards, traditional irrigation channels, and existing stonework all influence what we can change and how we install new features. Our approach begins with understanding those conditions before recommending improvements.
That means looking beyond the immediate project to consider drainage, soil, water availability, access, and how the finished landscape will function over time.
Based at 105 Cienega Street in Santa Fe, our team regularly works throughout the area and understands the practical considerations of maintaining and improving these properties.
Whether you’re planning a complete redesign or addressing a specific outdoor improvement, we offer the services needed to create a cohesive, functional landscape.
A successful landscape begins with a plan that considers the entire property. We develop designs for residential and commercial spaces, incorporating planting, grading, outdoor living areas, lighting, and other features into a cohesive layout.
For established properties, we prioritize preserving valuable trees and plantings while introducing improvements that support how you use the space today.
Hardscaping adds structure, accessibility, and usable outdoor living space. From courtyard walls to expansive patios, we create features that complement the surrounding architecture and terrain.
The right fence can provide privacy, define property boundaries, contain livestock, and protect gardens from wildlife. We install fencing that balances function with your property’s architectural and natural character.
Healthy landscapes depend on effective water management. We design, install, repair, and maintain irrigation systems while addressing drainage challenges that can threaten planting, soil stability, and structures.
Established landscapes require consistent care to remain healthy, attractive, and manageable. Our maintenance services help homeowners protect their investment year-round.
Services include pruning, weed control, seasonal cleanup, gravel and mulch refresh, irrigation inspections, winterization prep, and landscape restoration. We also offer scheduled visits for property owners who are away for extended periods.
Water-wise landscaping can reduce irrigation demands without sacrificing visual appeal. We incorporate native and drought-tolerant plants, thoughtful soil preparation, and efficient irrigation to create landscapes suited to the local climate.
Rather than removing established trees and starting over, we look for opportunities to introduce low-water planting in open areas and around existing vegetation.
Every property has its own requirements, but several conditions consistently influence landscaping projects in this part of Northern New Mexico. For landscaping services in Tesuque and neighboring areas, our team of landscape pros knows what will and will not work for the local climate, environment, weather, and lifestyles.
Mature planting and decades-old landscape features are valuable assets. Preserving and improving them often requires a different approach than installing a landscape on a newly developed lot.
Large cottonwoods and other established trees affect shade, soil conditions, irrigation, and where excavation can safely take place. Protecting their root systems is essential to long-term landscape health.
Long driveways, gated entries, shared lanes, and low-hanging branches can limit equipment choices. Planning for access early helps prevent delays and unexpected costs.
Some properties have existing acequia infrastructure or other established water arrangements. Understanding how water reaches the landscape is an important part of designing an effective irrigation plan.
Terrain and heavy monsoon rainfall can contribute to erosion, standing water, and drainage problems. Proper grading and water management help protect both the landscape and nearby structures.
Courtyards, walled compounds, and screened boundaries are common features of the local landscape. New installations should complement these existing elements rather than compete with them.
One of the most important considerations when improving an established property is understanding what to preserve.
Mature trees provide shade, visual structure, and character that take decades to develop. However, their root systems often extend well beyond the visible canopy, making them vulnerable to excavation, soil compaction, and grade changes.
Improper installation of irrigation lines, utilities, patios, or other landscape features can damage roots and affect tree health long after construction is complete.
Our team takes a preservation-first approach when working around established vegetation. Depending on the project, that may include:
Restoration is also worth considering before replacing older landscapes. Established fruit trees, lilacs, and shrubs may respond well to selective pruning, irrigation repairs, and soil improvements. In many cases, restoring healthy existing plants is more cost-effective and produces a more established result than starting with new nursery stock. The goal is to improve your landscape without sacrificing the features that make it special.
Water management is central to landscape planning, especially on properties with established irrigation systems, varied terrain, or access to traditional water sources.
Some properties have active acequia rights, which provide irrigation water on schedules set by local ditch associations. Unlike a conventional timer-controlled drip system, acequia water follows a shared schedule and may serve orchards, pasture, and other established plantings.
When designing around multiple water sources, we consider how each area of the landscape is used and which irrigation type is most appropriate. For example, ditch-fed areas may work alongside drip irrigation for ornamental beds closer to the home.
Property owners should confirm their water rights, schedules, and responsibilities with their acequia association or mayordomo before planning work that depends on ditch water.
Not every part of a property experiences the same growing conditions. Mature tree canopies, shaded courtyards, open sunny areas, and creek-adjacent spaces can each support different planting choices. A thoughtful planting plan accounts for:
Native and drought-tolerant plants are particularly useful in sunnier areas where reducing irrigation demand is a priority. With efficient irrigation and proper soil preparation, they can create attractive outdoor spaces that require less ongoing water.
Hardscaping helps define outdoor spaces, improve accessibility, and create functional areas for relaxing and entertaining. On established properties, these features should work with the existing architecture, terrain, and landscape rather than feeling like separate additions.
Courtyard walls, terraces, patios, and walkways can bring structure to large or uneven properties while connecting the main house to casitas, studios, and other outbuildings. Natural stone is often a fitting choice for older architecture and established landscapes. Its texture and appearance can complement existing walls and outdoor features while creating a cohesive design.
Fencing needs vary considerably depending on the property. Some homeowners prioritize privacy, while others need livestock containment, boundary definition, or garden protection. Coyote and latilla fencing offer a traditional appearance while allowing some airflow. Cedar provides greater screening, while stone columns and custom combinations can create distinctive entrances and permanent boundaries.
Planning patios, walls, fencing, and other improvements as part of the same project can reduce duplicated labor and make better use of equipment and material deliveries. This is especially valuable on properties with limited access or deliveries that require extra coordination.
An irrigation system that once worked well may no longer suit a landscape that has changed over the years. Plants grow, planting beds are redesigned, and older systems can develop hidden problems that waste water or reduce plant health. An irrigation audit is often a practical first step before investing in a complete replacement.
During an evaluation, we look for issues such as
Depending on the findings, we can repair existing components, redesign individual zones, or install a new drip irrigation system.
Water management also means directing excess water away from vulnerable areas. Heavy seasonal rainfall can cause erosion, wash away gravel, and allow runoff to collect near foundations or other structures. Solutions may include grading adjustments, swales, French drains, and dry creek beds designed to manage water flow and protect the surrounding landscape. Addressing drainage early can help prevent more extensive damage and preserve the results of other landscaping investments.
Large, established landscapes need consistent attention to remain healthy and functional. Without regular maintenance, irrigation problems can go unnoticed, weeds can spread, and established planting can become overgrown or difficult to manage. Our landscape maintenance services help protect your investment year-round.
Depending on the property, seasonal care may include
For property owners away for part of the year, scheduled maintenance provides an added layer of oversight. Regular visits help identify developing problems, keep outdoor areas in good condition, and reduce the work you need to do when you return. We also handle restoration projects for landscapes affected by failed irrigation, neglected planting, or changing property needs. Rather than automatically recommending a full replacement, we assess what can be saved and develop a practical plan to bring the landscape back to life.
Access is an important part of estimating and managing landscaping projects. Long driveways, narrow lanes, low branches, shared entrances, and gated properties can affect what equipment can reach the work area and how materials must be delivered.
In some cases, compact machinery or additional hand labor is necessary to complete a project safely. Material staging and installation sequencing also become more important when the work area has limited room.
Planning for these conditions helps protect the property, reduce disruption, and establish realistic expectations before work begins.
During the initial consultation, we evaluate
It also explains why two projects with similar designs may have different costs. The site's physical conditions can influence labor, equipment, and installation time as much as the materials themselves.
We believe a successful project starts with clear communication and careful planning. Our process and flow for landscaping services in Tesuque keeps you informed from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.
We walk the property with you to discuss your goals, evaluate existing conditions, and identify considerations involving soil, grading, planting, irrigation, drainage, and access.
We develop a plan suited to your property’s layout, existing features, and intended use. We tailor the design scope to the project, whether you’re updating a single area or planning a larger transformation.
You receive an itemized proposal outlining the work, materials, quantities, and anticipated timeline. We review the details with you before we begin any work.
We coordinate necessary utility locates, evaluate excavation areas, plan around mature trees, and address grading or drainage requirements before installation.

Once the work is complete, we review the finished project with you and provide guidance on watering, seasonal care, and maintenance requirements for the new and existing landscape.
Landscaping costs depend on the project’s size, materials, complexity, and existing site conditions. On established properties, access and preservation requirements can also significantly affect the final estimate.
Understanding these factors early makes it easier to prioritize improvements and develop a realistic budget.
| Cost factor | How it affects your project |
|---|---|
| Access | Narrow lanes, restricted equipment access, and long driveways may increase labor and delivery costs. |
| Existing landscape | Preserving mature trees and established planting may require additional planning and careful installation methods. |
| Project size | The area being redesigned or improved influences labor, materials, and overall scope. |
| Hardscape materials | Retaining walls, patios, terraces, and stonework can represent a substantial portion of the budget. |
| Water source | Domestic water, wells, and acequia arrangements require different irrigation considerations. |
| Terrain and soil | Slopes, rocky ground, and drainage corrections can increase preparation time. |
| Fencing | Material selection, linear footage, and livestock or wildlife requirements affect pricing. |
| Project phasing | Completing larger projects in stages can spread costs over time and allow earlier installations to establish. |
