So what's the big deal about gravel and landscaping? Well when you are trying to sell your house the first thing people notice is curb appeal. You don't realize how out dated your first impression is till you see the competition! So after new paint we stepped back to admire our work and our eyes went straight to our gravel. YIKES! I relied on yelp to find reliable, affordable oh and did I mention in a time crunch?!! I messaged the company and no more than a couple hour passed before Marti responded and not only did she arrange a same day meeting she even met around my work schedule. She was pleasant, arrived on time and after we explained our dilemma she quickly got to determining what rock we had, yes folks no rock is the same. We had lava rock which was in its place but through the years the gray river rock (I guarantee that's not the right type but it's all I know) was sparse and the popular black plastic to avoid weeds was showing it's face like a weed of it's own. She measured and calculated and the price was beyond fair (delivery and install woo hoo). Now the question...how *gulp* soon can you do it? 1 week folks! We were nervous about making time for their arrival but no fear they would deliver, install and we need not be present to win. The delivery date arrived and before I left work a friendly message from Marti "we are All done let us know what you think.". We arrived and no longer was our curb appeal an eye sore. It was clean fresh and need I say amazing as gravel can be. Don't just take my word see the pictures. Thank you so much for such a great job guys!!! I know our agent thanks you too. read more

ABQ Landscaping & Maintenance - They do great trimming of out of control pyracantha! We and our neighbors say THANK YOU - Landscaping Near Me

We have had such a disappointing, prolonged, incomplete job with this company. It's been one excuse after another, and they left our job not only undone but dangerously so. Instead of planting the trees as we'd planned, they dropped them into the holes without actually filling them. The large trees fell over onto our car, as it was right by the curb. So so horrible. We ended up having to hire a different company to complete the work that this company dragged out for five months and never actually finished. Of course, they said they would "come back to finish it" which never happened. Don't use them. They will rip you off and take your money. read more

Damian McBride showed up at my house to give me a quote to landscape my backyard back in August of 2021. The work was to start in September of 2021. I gave him a deposit for 1/3 of the total cost. Between September and January 2022, Damian made excuse after excuse as to why he could not start the job. I asked for my deposit back in the middle of January. He said he would come in and drop off a check. He gave me a post dated for February 4th, 2022. I attempted to deposit using my mobile app but an error. Damian texted me on the following Monday that he apologized for the bounced check and would bring a cashier's check the following Friday. He didn't show up so I took him to court. He did not dispute the amount owed and told Judge he would bring a cashier's check to my house by May 10th. Don't be surprised when I tell you I did not receive the check or money. A judgement has been ordered against Damian and the judge said in full candor it is often hard to collect from an individual. If Damian shows up for your landscaping needs, turn him away. It is unfortunate because I picked ABQ Landscaping for the reviews on yelp back in 2021. read more

Initial interaction was fine, I received a callback within 48 hours as promised. All follow-up interactions were late and had to be initiated by me. Confirming a time for the estimate - had to follow up after the time he said he'd get back to me to get any response. Confirming the cost of estimate after the visit - had to follow up after the time he said he'd get back to me. Confirming the time his crew would arrive - took three days after I messaged him, which was already after the time he said he'd get back to me. The morning of the appointment, exactly 1 hour beforehand, I texted to confirm that his crew would be arriving that day, and he sent me back a picture of a hand shredded to pieces leaking blood, completely unannounced, to let me know he had had an accident. I wish him the best of luck with his recovery if that indeed was his picture belonging to him, but this business is incredibly disorganized, and sending a photograph like that is honestly one of the most unhinged insane things I've seen a business owner/contractor do. Just tell me you had a personal emergency, don't send me gore pictures. Strongly do not recommend initiating any kind of business with these people. Looks like this business has a history of flaking on customers and using excuses to put off appointments, based on prior reviews. read more

Very nice, and knowledgeable. He has a large crew and they act fast, the price is very reasonable and they clean up every twig. The tree they Trimmed has been in my family for three generations, so I was pretty apprehensive at first. But they seem to really know what they're doing, and they get it done quickly and painlessly. They also removed an old, dead holly bush, and you can't even tell it was there. The great reviews on yelp are completely valid and were a huge help in selecting someone for this epic undertaking. read more

I don't know how this business has gotten any stars at all. I hired a contractor to do my back yard after confirming with the owner of this business that Ignacio Senna worked for her company. She confirmed that he did indeed and I signed a contract with with him with her company logo on it. He did a partial job and then left me without finishing what we had agreed on. I called Marti and she said he also had not finished another job she sent him out on. Because she had confirmed his employment with me and because of the contract and of course since she sent him to my home; she agreed to help finish at least part of the work not done. I agreed to give her a little time but after two weeks and repeated messages left... nothing has been resolved. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. Damian and his crew showed up when expected and completed the work on our yard in a timely fashion. Damian answered my many questions via text promptly. All of the workers were extremely professional and courteous and worked steadily. We are very pleased with the way our yard looks, definitely met our expectations. I whole-heartedly recommend them. Cynthia A. Albuquerque read more

I got a 5 day notice from the property management company about the maintenance in my yard, which hadn't been touched in five months (as I was away on business). There must've been a decent amount of water while I was away because everything was wildly overgrown, much more than expected. ABQ landscaping saved the day! The estimate was done in a timely fashion, and once I gave them a vision for what I wanted and my budget, they were able to do amazing things! ABQ Landscaping not only met all my needs, but did so under the amount we discussed. They even cane back once to clean up little things i barely noticed & certainly didn't care about. Icing on the cake; they hauled off an old water heater my property management company carelessly threw into MY side yard after they replaced it. I am Supremely happy with ABQ Landscaping, and yes, they were very conscious of and adhering-to COVID restrictions & guidelines. read more

Will only hire ABQ landscaping for all my yard work. They are very nice people and take pride in their work.

I resumed landscape shopping after I got my tax refund and hired a landscape designer to develop a plan to replace my back lawn with xeriscaping. I got several quotes and found Marti's updated estimate significantly lower than other landscapers. Marti and her crew arrived on time, measured carefully to implement my landscape plan and made sure I approved the placement of design elements. They saved me a few bucks by suggesting a more efficient drip irrigation layout. I posted a photo of my new backyard on Facebook and got LOTS of compliments. I will use these folks again and recommend them highly. read more

We just had our backyard totally redone by Damian and his crew. We are so happy and excited with their work, our yard is totally transformed and beautiful. Damian is professional, nice, and truly goes above and beyond. We are so glad we went with them, they're extremely reasonably priced and Damian works with you the entire time to ensure things are exactly the way you want them. Thank you so much Damian! read more

LIke many other reviewers recently, we had a horrible experience with this company and Damian. We hired him for a backyard landscaping job and were given excuse after excuse why it couldn't be completed. He asked for us to pay for the entire job up front before any work was completed. We ended up doing much of the work ourselves and will need to hire someone else to complete the job. Save yourself the time, money, and hassle and go with someone else. We wish we had! read more

READ THIS BEFORE YOU CALL THIS COMPANY. I would absolutely not recommend this company. I know they have a lot of good reviews but I had a terrible experience. Damien gave me a price very quickly and asked for a $600 deposit which I gave him right away. He proceeded to put off working on my yard for two months. He kept saying that his workers were calling in because it was hot. Finally just before I was about to ask for my money back he showed up one day and cleared the weeds out of my yard. Maybe a week later they finally came and put in the rocks. I felt like OK at least this is finally done. But then I discovered that they only put down weed guard on about 2/3 of my yard and didn't bother to say anything. Apparently they just hoped I wouldn't notice. I told Damien I would not pay him the rest of the agreed price and he did agree to a lower price. But he stated he would still come and finish the job correctly, which of course he did not. It was always excuses and BS with him. It was a really really frustrating experience and I already have grass coming up in my yard where they didn't lay down the weed guard. read more

ABQ Landscaping & Maintenance - Just dirt underneath rocks. - Landscaping Near Me

Started off promising. We needed yard cleanup and full landscaping done on our front yard. The cleanup was relatively quick and well done, but they kept no showing for the landscaping and finally stopped replying to texts asking when they could come. We paid half down which was way over what a yard cleanup should have been. We were originally hoping on getting routine maintenance through them so the poor scheduling and customer service was extremely disappointing. read more

I've never needed professional yard work done so I I went straight to Yelp and this business was the 2nd I chose to request a bid. Within 10 minutes, Marti replied and asked for a phone number so Damian can reach out to me to schedule an estimate. Damian called within 15 minutes and was at my house within the hour to see what I needed done. Later that evening, he text me with a bid which I agreed to right away. Scheduling was easy, I didn't even need to be there. When I came home to check it out, I saw a portion of the shrubs weren't done...Damian and his guys were back out the next day to complete the job. Working with Damian was super laid back but I could tell he is very passionate about what he does and taking care of the customer. I definitely plan to deal with him in the future for doing some creative in my backyard. read more

My yard had been overrun by weeds and litter, but after calling ABQ Landscaping & Maintenance, it's like a completely different yard. The workers were definitely skilled, and cleaned my yard up quickly. I am very happy with the result. I'll be calling on them again soon to do some additional landscaping soon. I would highly recommend ABQ Landscaping & Maintenance! Thanks for all the hard work! read more

Ive been calling them for years! every year they do a very professional job sprucing my yard up and getting all the weeds tamed. and and the granate pebbles racked back. can't wait to get out on my back porch and enjoy their handywork. A pleasure to work with. read more

Damian was very easy to work with, flexible and fair, and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I will use his crew again for sure. read more

This place is a scam and they will rip you off. Took me for $850.00! They have canceled about 4 or 5 times and always have an excuse! I am contacting police, attorney general, private investigator, license bureau, etc. Their "recent reviews" are fake. While I have been waiting for them to do the job the weeds have grown to about 5 feet and gone to seed. Bad, bad place. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED read more

Marti did a great job from start to finish. The quote was almost half of what I got from another landscaper and she did everything absolutely on time, threw in some nice bonuses, and was pleasant and prompt throughout the whole process. Pretty hard to complain about anything when absolutely everything is done right. Now I just have to sit here and watch the cactuses (cacti?) grow. Thanks for a great job! read more

Excellent work and completed way faster than I expected. . Damien and his crew were amazing

Damian was professional, on time, and very personable. If you're looking for a yard transformation for a great price, this is the company. My wife and I got multiple quotes, and Damian beat them all and added additional work. Great guy, great crew, great work. I will forever recommend him for all of my friends and families yard work. read more

I scheduled an appointment for 3:30. 8 minutes before my scheduled appt. I received a text from Marti asking if I could reschedule. I replied sure and then I never heard from her again. Disappointed with their commitment to customer service. . read more

They did a really great job overall with a spring yard cleanup. I tried emailing the company but never heard back. After I called I got a call back within an hour. They came out to view the property the same day and I was scheduled within the week. Few stray weeds left but overall the property looked really good. Great clean up job! read more

We did not go with ABQ Landscaping (due to price), but Marti was fantastic to work with! She was quick and responsive and transparent in the job. Thank you anyways, Marti! read more

Awesome job completely overhauling my backyard in less than four hours. Very affordable, I will definitely hire them again! read more

ABQ Landscaping & Maintenance - Landscaping Near Me

ABQ Landscaping & Handyman maintenance completed a tree trimming on a tree in my front yard yesterday. The tree in my yard is a 30 plus year old apricot tree planted by a seed from an apricot from my father over 30 years ago and I wanted to be sure that it was done correctly. They arrived on time and did a excellent, professional job. They trimmed all of the areas I requested and pointed out others that they recommended. They sealed the cuts with a solution to prevent insects and damage they were friendly & fast. They hauled off every tree and branch and twig, raked the yard neatly & they went above and beyond what I expected. highly recommend this family-owned business. The service was at a very reasonable price and I was able to get the appointment very quickly. Thank you. read more

I am very pleased with the service and work provided by ABQ Landscape. I had talked to other companies but Ernie Castillo provided exactly what I needed - personal interaction and advice. I had my irrigation system overhauled, gravel replaced in one area and many plants added. Ernie suggested which plants would be best in different areas according to if they bloomed, were colorful, how quickly/slowly they grew and which would achieve the look I wanted. Two plants did not take and he quickly replaced them. I can't imagine working with anyone else for my landscape and yard maintenance needs. read more

These guys are the best! Damian and his crew were thorough and even cleaned up stuff in our yard that was already piled up. We had them remove two dead trees and trim up a large spruce that needed some attention, all done professionally and completely. We had them back a few weeks later to remove a ton of juniper(80s landscaping) in our front yard and the did a wonderful Job! Looks great! They will be back next month to remove the juniper in back. They are our go to team now for all our landscaping needs l! read more

Damien and his crew did a great job they wore their masks all the time. The yard was really stressed out very badly they did a nice job bringing it back to life so we could sell the home. Definitely give him a call he is a very nice man. read more

I hired them and Damian showed up with the best crew I have delt with in many years. They got the job done and then some. I highly recommend this crew for any job. Thank you crew. read more

My front and back yard was overrun with weeds! Damian and his crew came out over the course of a couple days and cleared and removed the weeds and treated both areas so they wouldn't come back. I am very happy with their services. Will have him out again for maintenance. read more

We had Damien and his team come out to help clean up our new yard, which had lots of weeds and a dead tree. Working with Damien seemed like it was going great, but then he never finished the job. After pulling up the weeds, the team was supposed to spray the yard to prevent weeds from coming back up, but he left the site before finishing. He said he would come back tomorrow to spray. I had paid for the spraying in my total costs, so I wanted to make sure it was completed. Day after day, he continued to postpone spraying until he just stopped replying to me all together. I sent polite reminders may times, and finally began asking for a partial refund. No one has gotten back to me since. I was a nice customer, I paid in cash, I was very understanding of the "delays," I let the crew use my bathroom, etc. 4 months later, I'm still wondering what happened to "honoring a deal"- which Damien claimed was important to him. read more

Excellent pricing, quality work, friendly people. We will definitely use them again! Cleaned up the mess our puppy had made and gave us a beautiful yard again! read more

We had Damian and his crew come out again to do some more landscaping. It was a pleasure working with them again. They did a amazing job. Thank you guys. read more

We contacted ABQ Landscaping and the guy (Damien) came out to take a look and told us he would get back in touch with us with some drawings. He didn't contact us, so we reached out to him and he asked to come by. We thought he was bringing drawings, but he just rehashed the same thing with us and said he would be in touch with drawings. That was over a month ago. We reached out again and he said he didn't have drawings but he wanted to come by. We said no....we got tired of him wasting our time. So, take that into account if you call this company. Maybe they can do a good job, but we will never know. read more

We contact them for an estimate. Damien came out to look at what we wanted to have done and said he would get back to us with an estimate by the end of the weekend. It was a holiday weekend and didnt hear back. That was ok we figured it was just because of the holiday. We waited and contacted him later in the week and again he said we would send us an estimate. Nothing. We wont be using this company for our backyard project if it is this difficult to even get an estimate. read more

Outstanding work by a tremendous crew of guys. I had let my yard really get out of control and I didn't know what I was going to do. I called, got an estimate and everything was done exactly as promised. They even took away some items that weren't originally discussed. I did not think there was any way that my yard could be cleared in the time promised, but this crew was amazing. I could not possibly recommend this company any more. I honestly wish I could give more than five stars. read more

Communication with Abq Landscaping was really fast and clear. I live out of state, and a lot of companies I first reached out to were unresponsive or they turned me off with abrasive sales tactics over the phone, so good communication made a huge difference. I trusted they would do a great job getting rid of my dead grass and putting in rocks. I worked with Damien and he was helpful and informative. He sent me updates on the progress, and I love the final product! Thanks!! read more

If your lawn needs TLC, these are your people. I'm not kidding, you should really, really hire them. My yard was a disaster. Seriously, eyesore of the neighborhood. ABQ Landscaping and Maintenance totally cleaned it up -- pulled the weeds, hauled away the fallen branches and trash, raked the leaves, cut back the bushes, removed the invasive chinese elm. Seriously, they did it all. They even hauled away the junk the former tenant left in the back yard. Their price was INCREDIBLY reasonable, and they were super professional, polite, and easy to deal with. I can't imagine using anyone else for my lawn going forward. read more
