Evergreen Landscape Pros Expands Irrigation and Drainage Services

SANTA FE, NM – August 20, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Evergreen Landscape Pros has expanded its irrigation and drainage services across the Santa Fe area, adding system installation, repair, and seasonal maintenance as the region’s summer monsoon season gets underway. The broadened service line addresses two persistent demands in the high-desert climate: delivering water to landscapes efficiently during dry stretches and directing storm runoff away from structures and planted areas when heavy rains arrive.

Santa Fe’s semi-arid environment receives roughly 14 inches of precipitation in a typical year, much of it concentrated in brief, intense summer storms. Those conditions place efficient irrigation and functional drainage at the center of property maintenance, because water is a constrained resource during much of the year and a driver of erosion and pooling when it arrives all at once. The combination has steadily increased demand for services that treat watering and drainage as related problems.

Santa Fe draws its municipal water from a mix of sources, including the Santa Fe River watershed, city wells, and the Rio Grande by way of a diversion project, all of which are sensitive to drought. Reduced snowpack and lower river flows in recent years have reinforced the case for landscapes that use less water without sacrificing plant health. Irrigation efficiency has consequently moved from an optional upgrade to a routine consideration in many maintenance plans.

The expanded offerings cover drip irrigation and spray-zone installation, the retrofitting of older systems with weather-based controllers, and diagnostic testing to locate leaks and failed components. On the drainage side, the work includes grading, French drains, catch basins, and erosion-control measures intended to route runoff away from foundations and hardscapes. Combining the two disciplines allows a single crew to address how water reaches a property and how it leaves. Drip lines deliver water to root zones and lose less to evaporation than overhead spray, a meaningful difference where daytime heat accelerates moisture loss.

Water management has drawn heightened attention across northern New Mexico as prolonged drought and rising demand strain regional supplies. Santa Fe maintains water conservation requirements and a tiered rate structure that encourage reduced consumption, factors that have raised interest in efficient irrigation among area property owners. Municipal guidance has generally favored scheduling that matches plant needs over fixed timers that run regardless of weather.

“The expansion lets the company handle irrigation and drainage as a single, coordinated system rather than as separate repairs,” said Kevin Lopez, owner of Evergreen Landscape Pros. “Properties in the area often need both efficient watering and a reliable way to move storm runoff, and addressing them together tends to produce more durable results.”

Demand for irrigation work typically peaks during spring system startups and autumn winterization, when lines are cleared to prevent freeze damage at Santa Fe’s elevation of about 7,000 feet. Drainage projects tend to cluster around the monsoon months, when short storms can drop substantial rainfall within a few hours. The expanded service line is structured to handle both seasonal cycles rather than a single type of request.

“Runoff that is not managed ends up eroding soil and undermining plantings,” said Lopez, describing drainage as part of long-term landscape health rather than a separate concern. He added that weather-based controllers, which adjust output according to rainfall and temperature, have become a common request as property owners look to reduce waste.

The service expansion continues a broader shift in the regional landscaping trade toward water-conscious design and maintenance, driven by climate conditions and conservation policy alike. The bundled approach is designed so that systems can be monitored and adjusted over time rather than serviced only after a problem appears. The approach mirrors a wider trend among landscape contractors in arid states, where irrigation and stormwater handling are increasingly treated as parts of one water-management practice.
