For those who haven’t the time nor the talent to keep a yard looking beautiful, a Socorro, N.M. couple has opened a new business that specializes in just that.
Owned and operated by Joe and Erin Higham, Forever Green Lawn Service, provides landscape design and installation, and weekly maintenance.
“We have experience in all sorts of landscaping, from traditional lawns to xeriscaping,” Joe Higham said. “We meet with our clients and discuss how they want their lawn or yard to look. We can either do the landscaping or provide recurring maintenance on their present lawn.”
Regular maintenance is based on a weekly fee calculated by property size, and the nature of the property.
Landscaping is a point of pride for the couple.
“Erin has an eye for landscape design, and she handles that side of the business,” he said. “She knows native plants and what flowers thrive in our climate. Then I do the digging and putting the plants in the ground.”
He said one fee is charged for a landscaping job, and often a quote can be given the same day.
