      Albuquerque, New Mexico FAQs

      Here are key lawn care tips for Albuquerque:

      Watering:

      • Water deeply but infrequently in early morning (before 10am) to minimize evaporation
      • Adjust watering based on rainfall and season
      • Follow local water restrictions

      Mowing:

      • Keep grass 2.5-3 inches tall
      • Never remove more than 1/3 of grass blade length
      • Mow when grass is dry
      • Leave clippings on lawn as natural fertilizer

      Seasonal Care:

      • Fertilize in spring and fall when grass is actively growing
      • Overseed thin areas in early fall
      • Control weeds in spring before they establish
      • Aerate compacted soil in spring or fall

      Climate Considerations:

      • Choose drought-tolerant grass varieties suited for high desert
      • Reduce watering during monsoon season
      • Prepare for temperature extremes with proper maintenance
      • Consider adding shade in extremely sunny areas

      Following these practices helps maintain a healthy lawn while conserving water in Albuquerque's arid climate.

      Albuquerque's high desert climate brings unique lawn care challenges with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The arid conditions and high elevation mean lawns need careful watering and maintenance. Focus on drought-resistant grass varieties and efficient irrigation practices to maintain a healthy lawn.

      Professional lawn care services in Albuquerque typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include personalized fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it a more cost-effective option compared to traditional services.

      In Albuquerque's arid climate, water deeply 2-3 times per week in summer, applying about 1 inch of water each time. Water in early morning before 10am to reduce evaporation. During cooler months or monsoon season, reduce watering frequency to 1-2 times per week.

      For Albuquerque's arid climate, drought-resistant warm-season grasses work best: Bermuda grass, Buffalo grass, and Blue Grama. These grasses handle high temperatures, require less water, and stay green during hot summers. Tall Fescue can work in shaded areas but needs more water.

      Here are additional important maintenance tips for Albuquerque lawns:

      Fertilizing:

      • Apply fertilizer in spring and fall when grass is actively growing
      • Use Sunday's custom nutrients based on your soil test results
      • Follow application schedule to avoid over-fertilizing
      • Water lightly after applying to help nutrients absorb

      Soil Health:

      • Test soil annually to identify nutrient needs
      • Add organic matter to improve sandy desert soil
      • Keep soil pH balanced between 6.0-7.0
      • Address compaction through aeration

      Pest Management:

      • Monitor for common pests like grubs and chinch bugs
      • Spot treat weeds before they spread
      • Maintain proper mowing height to prevent weed growth
      • Use pest controls only when needed

      The key is consistent maintenance while working with Albuquerque's unique climate conditions. Focus on building healthy soil and strong root systems for a more resilient lawn.

      Key challenges for Albuquerque lawns include:

      • Intense sun and heat stress
      • Low annual rainfall requiring careful irrigation
      • High altitude UV exposure
      • Poor sandy soil lacking nutrients
      • Strong winds causing soil erosion
      • Temperature extremes between seasons
      • Water restrictions during drought periods

      When choosing lawn care in Albuquerque, consider these key factors:

      1. Service offerings that match your needs (fertilization, weed control, pest management)
      2. Experience with desert climate challenges
      3. Cost-effective solutions
      4. Environmentally responsible practices
      5. Professional expertise and support

      Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 and include personalized fertilizer, soil testing, and year-round expert guidance - making it an affordable alternative to traditional services that average $45-75 per visit.
