ABQ Landscaping did an excellent job initially at my home. However I was not able to get ABQ to return for one repair resulting from their work and an additional repair not related to their work.

A big shout out to Omar and Ruben for converting our crumbling sidewalk and patio to an absolutely beautiful pathway and porch! We couldn’t be happier with the end result! We highly recommend ABQ Landscaping!

My husband I were in desperate need of a backyard redo. We decided to attend the Home Expo to learn of who the options were in town. We met 4 companies. After vetting each company, we decided to go with Ernie and ABQ Landscaping. We were impressed by the photos of his work, his reviews, competitive quote, and the extensive time he took with us during the walk through and quote process. During the job, Ernie’s communication was truly stellar! The crew he has are top notch professionals. (Thanks Omar & Ruben for your precise paver work!) We are incredibly pleased with the work his team did (pergola, pavers, leveling the yard, new landscape fabric etc). Highly recommend Ernie and team!

This is the second time we have used ABQ Landscaping. The owner, Ernie Castillo, is a very friendly, personable man. He gives honest quotes, and his crews do all the work they promise. The work has always been done to our great satisfaction, and they clean up nicely after the work is done. I highly recommend ABQ Landscaping.
Great work
Our yard badly needed to be updated and refreshed. Ernie and his crew worked closely with us to create the outdoor spaces that we wanted. They expertly trimmed a very large tree and an overgrown bush, removed a smaller tree, several more bushes and some low struggling ground cover. Then, they removed the old gravel, laid down new weed barrier and put a huge amount of gravel back along with some new plants. The guys made absolutely sure that our sprinkler system emitters were exactly where we wanted them and that everything was working perfectly by the time they left. The best part, though, was how thoroughly they removed our old pond and waterfall so we could put in a new fountain. Ernie had great ideas on how to display the new fountain on a gravel pad and Omar matched the rest of our patio perfectly with reused flagstones from our yard. They brought the HEAVY fountain to the house, placed it on the pad and then installed the pump and light system. Ernie’s crew of hard workers arrived on time every day and completed the job in just a few days! No shortcuts were even considered throughout the entire job. They did a very professional job and we are very happy.
Friendly and professional. They did a great job and clean up. Highly recommend!
