SANTA FE, NM – June 09, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Full-service landscaping contractor adds dedicated hardscape design division for residential and commercial outdoor living projects across New Mexico.
Evergreen Landscape Pros, a full-service landscaping contractor based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, announced the expansion of its patio and walkway design services to meet growing demand for custom outdoor living spaces across the region. The company now offers a dedicated division focused exclusively on patios, portals, and walkways for residential and commercial properties. The expanded service covers the greater Santa Fe area, including Eldorado, Espanola, Galisteo, Lamy, Pecos, Tesuque, and White Rock.
The decision to create a standalone hardscape design division follows a sustained increase in homeowner interest in functional outdoor spaces throughout New Mexico. According to the National Association of Landscape Professionals, outdoor living project spending rose 12 percent nationally in 2025, and Evergreen Landscape Pros reported a comparable uptick in requests for patio installations and walkway construction over the past 18 months. The new division allows the company to assign specialized crews to each project, from initial design consultation through final installation, rather than rotating general landscaping teams across different job types.
“We kept hearing from homeowners who wanted a patio or walkway but felt overwhelmed by the process of choosing materials, understanding drainage, figuring out how a portal connects to the rest of their yard,” said Kevin Lopez, Owner of Evergreen Landscape Pros. “By creating a team that focuses solely on these projects, we can walk clients through every step, from the first phone call to the moment they step onto a finished surface. That is the experience we want to deliver.”
The term “portal,” common in Southwestern architecture, refers to a covered entryway or transitional passage that connects outdoor spaces. Evergreen Landscape Pros incorporates portal construction into its hardscape design work, blending traditional New Mexico building styles with contemporary materials such as natural stone, pavers, and stamped concrete. The company provides free estimates for all patio and walkway projects and has maintained its practice of no-obligation consultations.
Each project under the new division follows a structured process that begins with an on-site assessment of the property’s grading, soil composition, and existing drainage patterns. A design consultant then works with the homeowner to select materials and layout configurations before a dedicated crew begins installation. The company noted that this approach has reduced average project completion times by approximately two weeks compared to its previous scheduling model, in which hardscape jobs competed for crew availability with general landscaping maintenance contracts.
Northern New Mexico’s high-desert climate presents specific challenges for outdoor hardscape installations, including freeze-thaw cycles that can shift improperly set pavers and intense UV exposure that affects certain sealants and finishes over time. Evergreen Landscape Pros said its crews are trained to address these conditions through techniques such as compacted gravel sub-bases, flexible joint sand, and region-appropriate material selection. The company added that it sources stone and flagstone from regional quarries when possible, which reduces lead times and keeps material costs closer to local market rates for homeowners.
“A patio is only as reliable as the ground underneath it, and in this part of the country, the ground has opinions,” said Lopez. “We spend more time on site preparation than most clients expect, but that is the difference between a surface that lasts five years and one that lasts twenty. Homeowners notice that when they compare finished outdoor living spaces side by side.”
The expanded patio and walkway division also integrates with the company’s existing irrigation and water management services, allowing project teams to coordinate drainage solutions and landscape grading during a single engagement rather than requiring separate contracts. Evergreen Landscape Pros currently offers six service lines, including landscape design and installation, landscape maintenance and restoration, hardscape and stonework, irrigation systems, and fencing in materials such as coyote, latilla, cedar, and stone. The company said that bundling hardscape work with complementary services has become its fastest-growing project category over the past year.
