Services
Lawn Mowing
Our professional lawn mowing service offers flexible scheduling options to maintain healthy, vibrant yards. Using commercial-grade equipment with sharp blades, we ensure precise edging and thorough grass clipping cleanup. Regular mowing helps identify potential issues like dry patches or weeds early, allowing timely intervention. We tailor our approach to Albuquerque's climate, ensuring optimal grass height and health while enhancing curb appeal for residential and commercial properties.
Fertilizing
We provide targeted fertilization programs for lawns, trees, and shrubs to promote robust growth in New Mexico's arid climate. Our experts apply pre-emergent treatments to control weeds in spring and late summer, addressing challenges from wind and moisture fluctuations. For persistent weeds, we offer manual removal services. Our fertilization strategy improves soil health and plant resilience, ensuring lush, green landscapes that thrive despite environmental stressors.
Aeration
Our aeration service combats soil compaction and enhances water absorption for healthier root systems. Performed ideally in spring, this process involves extracting soil plugs to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply. We recommend fertilizing during the same visit for maximum effectiveness. Clients are advised to water their lawns 15-20 minutes twice before service to ensure optimal soil conditions for effective aeration.
Power Raking
This essential service removes excess thatch buildup that prevents water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Recommended every other spring, our power raking process clears dry grass layers to promote healthier lawn growth. By improving soil contact, we help clients achieve denser, more resilient turf that better withstands Albuquerque's climate challenges while reducing pest and disease risks associated with thatch accumulation.
Tree Trimming
Our comprehensive tree care includes strategic trimming and pruning to maintain health, safety, and aesthetics. We specialize in removing dead or damaged branches to prevent hazards, improving airflow through selective thinning, and shaping trees for optimal growth patterns. Our experts handle both deciduous and evergreen species, addressing seasonal needs like rose pruning in spring and deadheading throughout the growing season to enhance plant vitality and appearance.

Quality Lawn Care has been my Landscaper/Maintenance provider since 2007. I've always gotten top notch service from them. From the original design to maintaining our yard they show up they are ready to work. Any changes i have are dealt with a smile. I love that this is a Family operated business. I know that there are so many Landscapers Pros and Cons. I've had a few. We've been in this home since '96. These Guys are the BOMB!

Rob and his crew did such an AMAZING job transforming my childhood backyard into what I've always wanted. The Staff were very professional and on time. They were very informative on the up keep and even gave me tips on other ideas for my yard. I would most definitely recommend QLC to anyone looking to relandscape. Thank you Rob, Michael, Stan and Jerod for all your hard work!

The service I requested was power raking. They showed up on time (actually early)! The power raking and clean up was done to my satisfaction. The crew then went on to exceed my expectations by edging and mowing my entire lawn - again including clean up! After completing these tasks I saw the crew inspecting their work to make sure they were satisfied with the job. Quality's pricing is in line with other lawn services and in my opinion, I got more than what I paid for. Try them, I think you will like them!

Rob and his team are amazing! This week he and his crew transformed my parents' backyard by planting 17 new perennial plants and removing several others that did not survive the winter (previous gardener). Rob worked with us closely on plant selection and placement at our initial consultation and the day of to ensure we were happy. He and his crew are warm, friendly, professional and always show up on time.
We highly recommend Rob and his team and will continue to call them for all of our landscaping and yard maintenance needs! We also hired them last year to replace gravel in my parent's backyard and to do semi-annual weed prevention spraying and maintenance on an ongoing basis. This week he resprayed some stubborn grass and weeds at no charge as part of our maintenance program. We've been very happy with the caring and professional work and the excellent customer service we receive from Quality Lawn Care.
