Yards & conditions in Albuquerque
Albuquerque sits in USDA hardiness zone 7b with hot, arid summers and mild winters. Local yards typically deal with alkaline, rocky desert soils and extreme heat, low rainfall and water-use restrictions that make xeriscaping popular. That’s why Albuquerque lawns are usually planted with drought-tolerant Bermuda, native grasses and xeriscape designs, with the best results in early spring and fall. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule retaining wall work in Albuquerque
Retaining wall work in Albuquerque goes best in early spring and fall and other dry periods, when the soil is workable and drainage can be set correctly. Taller walls may need permit lead time.
