Landscape Design
A thoughtful landscape design takes many things into consideration, drainage, plant size & type, style and balance, space usage and travel patterns to name a few. In Las Cruces, NM it is not advisable to just slap a big lawn in the front of you house as may have been done in past centuries or in other areas of the country. Water is a precious resource so irrigation and plants are carefully chosen to to create a space that is smart and desirable
