About Wildcat Lawn Care and More
Seven years working dirt 4,300 feet up the Llano Estacado.
Daniel Gutierrez started Wildcat in June 2018 with one mower, one truck, and a phone that rang most evenings. Seven years later it's still a family operation out of Clovis — lawn work first, then tree work, then concrete slabs and pergolas as the customers asked for more.
This is the eastern New Mexico high plains, not the Sandias and not the Sonoran. Clovis sits at 4,300 feet on the Llano Estacado — the Caprock escarpment falls off west of here, the wind runs steady for days, and the late frost can clip a Bermuda lawn into the first week of May. We plant for it: tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass on the cool-season side, Bermuda overseeded with ryegrass for winter color, buffalo grass and blue grama where the customer wants a yard that drinks what the sky gives it.
We answer the phone, we show up the day we said, and we stay in Curry and Roosevelt counties.
Different dirt than Albuquerque. Different wind. Different calendar. We work the one we have.
— Daniel Gutierrez, owner
What we do — Clovis & Portales
Four trades, one truck, one family.
Started as lawn-only in 2018. Tree work came next, then concrete and landscaping. Same hands, four scopes.
- from $180
Tree care
Pruning, deadwood removal, storm cleanup, full take-downs on smaller cottonwoods and elms. We don't pretend to be arborists — we do the work a homeowner needs done before the next 60-mph wind day.
- from $1,200
Concrete & pergolas
Driveway slabs, patio pours, walkway extensions, and the occasional pergola over a back patio. Local Clovis mix, formed and finished by hand. Cure schedule built around eastern-NM wind and heat.
- from $1,800
Landscaping
Drought-aware xeric fronts — buffalo grass and blue grama strips, decomposed granite, drip lines sized for Clovis water rates. Native plant pulls from chamisa, Apache plume, fourwing saltbush, and sand sage.
Community recognition · 2025
Voted Best Lawn Care — Clovis & Portales 2025.
Three years running, by the people who actually live on the Llano Estacado. Reader-voted recognition out of the Clovis and Portales community — not an industry trophy, not paid placement. The customers on the route decided.
We don't put it at the top of the page because we're proud of a badge. We put it here because if you've lived in eastern New Mexico for a while, you know — your neighbors don't vote a crew “best” three years running unless the work holds up through the wind, the freeze, and the late spring frost.
— Daniel Gutierrez, owner. Clovis, NM.

How it works
What working with us looks like.
- 01
A phone call
Tell us the address and what you're seeing in the yard. Five minutes is enough to start. Hablamos español.
- 02
Site visit
We come out, walk the property, look at the wind exposure, soil, and any caliche under the topsoil. Ask the questions that actually move the price.
- 03
Written estimate
Clear number, broken out by line. Lawn, tree, slab, and landscape work each priced separately when they're stacked.
- 04
Scheduled work
We pick a window with you around the wind calendar — concrete pours never on a 30-mph day. Standing-route lawn customers get a fixed weekly slot.
- 05
Walkthrough
We don't pack up the truck until you've walked the work with us and told us it's right.
That’s it. No portals, no logins — a phone call or an email is all it takes.
Where we work
From Clovis, across Curry and Roosevelt counties.
Cannon AFB to the west, Texico on the Texas line east, Portales seventeen miles south. Outside that, we're usually not the right call.
Standing routes on Cannon AFB family housing run Tuesdays. Portales runs are Wednesdays and Fridays. If you're past Texico into Texas or west of the Caprock toward Fort Sumner, we'll talk — it's not a daily route. Call Wildcat Lawn Care and More at (575) 366-6874.
How we build a drought-aware front
Drought-aware xeric front, Clovis-style.
What we drop in when the homeowner is done paying summer water bills. Built for 4,300 feet, USDA zone 7a, and a wind that doesn't quit.
buffalo grass + blue grama strip
native warm-season turf · sips water · holds in wind
native plant cluster
chamisa · Apache plume · fourwing saltbush · sand sage
decomposed granite mulch
3 in compacted — drains in monsoon, holds in wind
drip line + emitters
pressure-regulated · sized per plant · no overspray
Most Clovis front yards we convert run $1,800–$3,800 depending on the turf pull, the slope toward the street, and how deep the caliche shelf sits. We walk the property first, look at the soil under the grass, and quote a real number. Call Wildcat Lawn Care and More at (575) 366-6874. Hablamos español.
What people say — Curry & Roosevelt counties
Quiet recognition, three years running.
Daniel and his crew do our standing weekly cut on the north side of Clovis. Edge straight, blower-clean, gone before lunch. Bermuda came back early this year because he overseeded right in October.
Big elm in the front yard lost a limb in a March wind. Called Wildcat Friday afternoon, they had the cleanup done Monday before noon. Stump ground flush. Bill was what they quoted.
We had a back-patio slab cracking after the move-in. Daniel pulled it, regraded for drainage, and poured fresh. Two summers of wind and freeze later, slab is still flat. Honest pricing for AFB housing.
Full xeric conversion on the front yard last spring — buffalo grass strip, DG paths, chamisa and Apache plume cluster. Cut the summer water bill in half. Daniel laid out the plan in plain English and stuck to it.
