Lawn Care in Las Cruces

“We chose Wasser & Wasser for an extensive landscaping job on our property. The process included a site plan, hardscape, irrigation, lighting, and plant selection based on our requirements. The property we purchased had a half dead grass front yard, a fishpond that no longer worked regularly, ailing boxwood shrubs, several dead trees, and an entry arbor loaded with Virginia creepers that were overtaking the front door. It was like a scene from The Adams Family. The “back” was raw dirt, weeds, browning yuccas, and a mutant vitex that had spread its roots far and wide.

Clearly, our “yard” did not reflect the southwest. The goal was a clean and appealing hardscape design for the least amount of maintenance possible.

For that hardscape, we specified a circular, raised Castle Wall planter with six separate rays to reflect a partial Zia symbol filled with southwestern plants, flagstone pavers, ¾” rock, and precast concrete bowls to hold flowers. A fountain was installed in the circular Zia symbol.

Danny also integrated masonry over an old fire ring that, under the skilled hands of Ruben and Arturo, (brought to us by the property’s original stonemason, John Valdez) morphed into a traditional shot rock-faced pizza oven, matching our 26 year old rock walls beautifully.

In the back, we requested a drainage channel filled with river rock to carry water away from the house, retained original flagstone pavers moved over from the front, and more ¾” rock.

Dustin Richardson oversaw a high skills crew. They worked very hard, and our vision became reality. He always answered our questions in detail, was professional and a wellspring of local acumen.

This was a big job. The landscape specifications we delivered to Wasser & Wasser were completed in late August 2023. The proposal came in the fall. The job was started in January 2024 and concluded in April. One has to step back and admire the multitude of skills (electrical, plumbing, earth moving and grading, low voltage lighting, drainage, plant selection, etc.) that all come together under Dustin’s skilled leadership and Danny’s watchful eyes.

All that effort was so worth it. We have a low maintenance property where we enjoy sitting on the patio at night experiencing a vibe that is every bit high-end resort Zen spa in its clean lines and soft pools of amber lighting.

We would not hesitate to hire Wasser & Wasser again.“

“Excellent and professional service. Removed old rock and irrigation system and replaced. Extremely pleased with results.“

“Paul and his team are experts at replacing your lawn with artificial grass. I could tell from the outset that they knew what they were doing because Paul took an hour measuring up, asking questions and offering some excellent suggestions. He followed up immediately with a very detailed proposal. That already had me sold on the company, never mind that the quoted price was about half of other quotes I received.In six days they transformed our back yard from a weed-sprinkled, water-guzzling patch of Bermuda grass into a picture- perfect landscape. They worked long and hard and took care of every detail. They replaced my 6 sprinkler valves with a single valve, and even added a shutoff so the system can be worked on if necessary without turning off the main supply. They included a stub pipe in case I want to add a second valve later, say for a vegetable garden in the side yard. All of this they did automatically, without being asked. They put a new sprinkler system to all my trees and plants, even the potted ones on the patio. I watched them pound everything flat, including two beautiful paths, before they installed the grass. They meticulously worked the edges and corners by hand. I watched one of the guys on his hands and knees working the cloth and gravel around the trunk of my pomegranate tree. They answered all my questions, and granted my every request along the way.Paul is proud of the fact that he's been doing this for 25 years. It shows in his work.Don't be fooled. Just about any landscaper will give you a quote apparently. But based on the discussions I had with one of them, they have nowhere near the knowhow or experience that Green Lizard has. My feeling was they would not do a good job. And they definitely wanted a lot more money.So bottom line, I'd give Green Lizard 10 stars if I could.“
