Vegetable Garden Maintenance & Mentorship in Albuquerque
A productive garden needs different things as the season changes. In spring, it might be fresh compost and a planting plan. By midsummer, it might be a drip irrigation adjustment and a second round of crops. ABQ Foodscaping offers monthly care for raised beds, in-ground vegetable gardens, and edible landscapes in the Albuquerque area.
Choose garden maintenance and we’ll handle the seasonal work, or choose garden mentorship and work alongside us to build the skills to care for your garden.
We’ll put together a seasonal care plan based on what you’re growing and how much help you’d like. Depending on your garden and the time of year, visits may include:
Preparing beds, adding compost or mulch, and planting seasonal crops.
Weeding, staking plants, and checking for pest or plant health problems.
Checking drip irrigation and adjusting watering as the weather changes.
Planting a second round of crops as space opens up, clearing spent plants, and preparing beds for winter.
Learn in your own garden with someone who can show you what to do and why. We can plan what to plant and when, sow seeds or transplant together, and troubleshoot problems as they come up. At each visit, we’ll identify what needs your attention between visits so you know where to focus.
Season, Visit Length, and Pricing
Our typical season runs March through November, with one visit per month under a seasonal agreement. Visits generally last one to four hours, depending on the size of your garden and what it needs that month.
Monthly maintenance visits typically range from $250 to $500 per visit. We’ll confirm your schedule, what’s included, and your pricing before you sign. Mentorship is quoted based on your goals and the scope of each visit.
Can you help with a garden I already have?
Yes. We work with most existing gardens, including ones you built yourself or had installed by another company. Before we prepare a maintenance proposal, we’ll visit your property to assess the garden’s size, condition, and irrigation setup and talk through what kind of help you’re looking for. That visit helps us recommend the right level of care and confirm that our team can meet your garden’s needs.
