Land clearing in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque
Los Ranchos is a rural village surrounded by the city: big lots, fields, horses and acequias. We help keep that land open, usable and well drained.
Rural land in the middle of the metro
The Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque is its own municipality in the North Valley, known for open fields, large lots and a rural feel just minutes from downtown. Many properties are irrigated through the acequia system, and plenty of them still have pastures, orchards or horses.
That land needs regular care. Fields go to weeds, ditch banks and fence lines fill in with Russian olive and Siberian elm, and paddocks get rutted and muddy. We clear what needs to go, keep the trees and fields you want, and grade so water ends up where it’s useful instead of standing in the low corner.
Because the village values its open space and mature trees, every walk-through is a conversation about what to keep, not just what to remove.

Working in the Village of Los Ranchos

- Acequias. Ditches and their easements are usually managed by MRGCD. Work in or on a ditch needs their approval.
- Trees. Before removing large trees, ask the village whether any rules apply to your property.
- Utilities. We request a New Mexico 811 locate before we dig.
Rules change and vary by property. We help you check what applies; we don’t give legal advice or guarantee permit decisions.

Los Ranchos de Albuquerque questions
Can you grade a field so irrigation water spreads evenly?
Yes. Tell us how you irrigate and where the water comes in, and we’ll grade the field around it.
Can you clear a ditch bank on my property?
We can clear your side up to the ditch easement. Work on the ditch itself needs approval from its owner, usually MRGCD.
Do you haul the brush away?
Yes. Or, if you’d like to use it, we can chip it and leave it on site.
