Frequently asked questions:

Q: How do I obtain a City Water Rebate?

A: The City Water Rebate Plan is very beneficial to the homeowner who wants to xeriscape existing turf grass areas. The city offers a credit to your water bill if the proper requirements are met. The following city web site explains, in detail, what the procedure is to obtain this rebate. www.cabq.gov/resources/waterconservation

Since NARROW LEAF, Inc. xeriscapes yards all the time, we know the requirements and do all the footwork to obtain the rebate for you. We will draw up a plan that fulfills city requirements. We schedule the initial meeting and the final inspection.

The homeowner does not need to be present for any of this procedure. The rebate you receive will be based on the square footage of turf removed.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

Q: What is the process from the initial meeting date to the final completion of a project?

A: After the initial meeting, we will design a plan based upon our conversations with the homeowner. After our drawing is complete, we meet again to present it and to explain the details of the plan. When the homeowner approves the work, we set a start date. Throughout the duration of the project, we will update the homeowner of our progress, of any problems and their solutions and anything we may need (cars moved, gates unlocked, dogs put in the house, etc.)

Upon completion of the job, we will explain how the irrigation system works, how to care for plant material and answer any questions the owner may have. We discuss plant warranty and other small details of the project.

We do not consider a job done until the homeowner approves of our work and is 100% satisfied.

Q: Does the homeowner need to be home for the duration of a landscape project?

A: No, it is not necessary for owners to be present. We endeavor to discuss the details of a project ahead of time so we can bring the job to completion. It is convenient, however, to be able to contact the owners by phone throughout the day if the need arises.

Q: Does your organization provide financing?

A: NARROW LEAF, Inc. offers three, six, and twelve month same as cash financing for your project. We do all the footwork for the homeowner to obtain this loan. You may elect to pay 50% of the job and finance the balance, or finance 100% of the project. Just let us know how you want to finance your landscape and we’ll take it from there.
