"Landscaping is one home improvement that actually appreciates over time."


Besides the personal enjoyment you'll get from a nice yard, landscaping adds more value than almost any other home renovation. Save time, money, and effort with our affordable landscaping consultations. --David Salman, President and Chief Horticulturist, High Country Gardens

Landscape Design Program: Our professional landscape designer will meet you at your site, discuss the site’s possibilities and challenges with you, and then create design sketches. It is a two hour visit, with a flat fee based on the location of the site. Payment to High Country Gardens is due at the end of the designer’s visit. The customer is then entitled to a 10% discount on all products for an entire year!

Please Note: High Country Gardens landscaping consultations are for New Mexico Customers Only. For general information on planting, here are some great resources: HCG Garden Articles , GardenGuides.com, USDA Plant Database

We offer on site landscape design solutions by professional landscape designers. Use our consultation service to design a new project or to make improvements and corrections to an existing landscape. Among the many areas that can be covered:


  • This waterwise landscape was designed with Blue Spires Russian Sage, ornamental grasses, and xeriscape perennials.
    Edible gardens with fruits, herbs, vegetables, and flowers
  • Quick landscape improvements to augment special events and home sales
  • Conceptual plans for a new property
  • Plant selection that follows association and community guidelines
  • Renovation design and maintenance assessment of existing landscapes
  • Pruning instruction, plant identification and evaluation, and memorial tree selection
  • Restoration of native vegetation
  • Soil improvement and management
  • Drainage & erosion issues
  • Creative use of High Country Garden perennials
  • Water harvesting & water wise design

We also can create designs along a special theme, such as a Cactus Rock Garden, a Cottage Garden, a Fragrance Garden, a Rose Garden, or a unique Southwestern Landscape. All designs will emphasize appropriate plant selection, low maintenance, limited water use, and environmentally friendly landscape practices.

Additional services are available to customers who
have had a Landscape Consultation:

  1. Follow-up Visit: A follow-up visit to build upon the design or to develop area’s that weren’t covered by the first 2 hour visit.
  2. Plant Placement: The designer returns to the site and physically marks the position of the plants. This is usually done with survey flags containing the names of the plants. Layout of beds can also be marked using a similar process.
  3. Site Supervision: The consultant arranges with the customer to be on site to supervise the installation.

We also can be of service by providing these services:

  1. Plant Selection and Holding: The consultant will use the consultation plant list to select plant material and place it on hold for the customer to pick-up. The fee for this service is $25.
  2. Tree Visit: A certified Arborist will make a 20-minute visit to diagnose plant problems and suggest treatment or to suggest an appropriate plant for a specific location.

HIGH COUNTRY GARDENS® stores
25 years ago, we opened our first nursery and garden center at Santa Fe Greenhouses. In 1993, we began shipping plants nationally through our High Country Gardens mail order division, and in 2000 began our online catalog which specializes in xeriscape (waterwise) perennials. In 2006, we opened our first High Country Gardens store in Albuquerque located at San Mateo/I-25; and in 2008 opened another store at the Bernalillo Jackalope location. Many of our popular award-winning plants were introduced by President and Chief Horticulturist, David Salman, a plant pioneer and nationally recognized speaker and writer on the topic of Xeriscaping. For an introduction to Xeriscaping, read the High Country Gardens Style of Xeriscaping: Basic Principles, and for more valuable waterwise Gardening Tips, visit our online resource center.
