"AHS was responsive, friendly, professional, and prompt. We will definitely hire them in the future. We have an acre of land with lots of plants and trees, they made the yard look amazing!"
"G came out within one hour of my submitting the request for a quote to Angie's List! He did an amazing job with my overgrown yard and went above and beyond to make it look nice. He worked fast and the price was excellent. Would definitely hire him for more yard projects!"
"I recently moved into a house in Albuquerque, and because of neglect while the property was vacant, the yard was an absolute disaster. Matt and his crew came out and removed all of the offending weeds, including, among other things, several large chamisas, a number of large elm saplings, some other large shrubs that prevented me from even accessing part of the yard, and a large area of what must have once been a lawn. We saved a few small lavenders, a nice looking privet, a small garden of cacti and succulents, and about a half dozen rose bushes, all of which were almost lost in the mess. After that was done, they put down weed barrier, covered the front and back yard with decorative gravel, and re-set the irrigation to the roses. After they left on the last day, about a half-dozen of my neighbors came over to tell me how great the yard looked. It took three solid days of hard work to finish the job, one day less than the original estimate of four. Every day they got started early and stayed late. We'll have them back out in a few months when the weather cools to do some new plantings, but for now I've got a neat, tidy, low-maintenance yard, which is exactly what I wanted."
"We are thrilled with the completion of our yard. We hired Eric and SummerSweet Landscaping because he was the only degree horticulturist who owns a landscaping business that I could find in Albuquerque. We knew nothing about plants for NM, so we wanted an expert, and he is one. We walked the greenhouse together to select plants. It was a very good experience. His guys have been with him for many years. They are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects from irrigation to hardscapes. There are a lot of fly-by-night cheap guys in NM, but they won't be around to fix what breaks. You can find cheaper or more expensive, but you will get what you pay for. Eric has clients from years back and he also has the governor's mansion as a client. He will draw professional plans for you and your HOA at no additional cost, which few here will do."
"They were great! They came on time, worked in a timely manner, and left the area clean and in great shape. Ernie and his crew were professional and personable. I plan to use them again."
"Fantastic!! Beautiful yard now. 100% professional and every detail attended to by the TEAM. I would have been working this project for 1 week easy and this team done in 2 hours with cleaned space too! Thank you!"
"Looks wonderful! Jesus and his crew cleaned up weeds by hand and cleaned up debris. The yards look great! They also removed a huge bush. Will definitely hire again! A+!"
"Walter and his crew are fantastic. The are the ultimate in Professionalism and customer service. There was no charge to provide me and estimate and he began work on August 13th 2025 and completed the work on the 14th before noon. I know nothing about sprinkler systems; he explained everything to my understanding and completed the work efficiently. He left my yard in the condition it was before he started. No one can tell work was even done on my yard. Left no Trace."
Most housekeepers won’t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like carpet shampooing, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It’s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you’re on the same page.
For minor unevenness, you don't necessarily need to remove grass before leveling. You can apply a topdressing mixture to fill in low areas and even out the surface. However, for more significant unevenness or deep depressions, it might be necessary to temporarily remove the grass to ensure proper leveling and soil compaction. After filling and leveling, you can replace the grass or consider reseeding the area.
If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.
Land-clearing projects often take professionals one to two days to complete, but your timeframe can get much longer—sometimes up to a week or more—if you need your pros to clear a large section of land, grind down multiple large trees below the ground, or clear especially dense or heavy materials, like landscaping boulders and brush. A land-clearing expert will usually give you an accurate timeline along with your quote to help you better plan your project.
Mushrooms do not harm your yard. In fact, they can actually help improve your lawn health by decomposing woody organic matter in your soil, and breaking it down into nutrients that feed your grass and plants.
