'Tis the season! For adobe, that is; and now that Spring has truly come to Albuquerque, we at New Mexico Earth Adobe are embarking on our 38th year of supplying the Southwest, and beyond, with top quality sun-dried blocks. We offer traditional, semi-stabilized, and fully-stabilized varieties; your project, your choice.
Remember: Adobe is the ultimate in flexible building materials, welcoming to the professional and the beginner alike, encouraging of creative expression and sculptural possibilities whether embarking on a home, a garden wall, or something totally unique.
Adobe walls for your garden lend peace and beauty, and as wind-blocks and providers of shade, can create micro-climates perfect for the plant that requires a certain environment. Combine Soilutions products with adobe for an inviting outdoor living space.
A final thought from New Mexico Earth Adobes--Green and sustainable!
More than just style: Adobe.
Adobe has been historically used as a building material throughout the world and is still used today in modern construction.
The state of New Mexico is the nation’s center for Earth Building. We are developing new approaches to encourage sustainable energies. Adobe building is an important part of that development.
Adobe construction is ‘the greenest of the green’! Working alone with a hoe, shovel, and a form you could make enough adobes for a very comfortable home and not spend a penny on carbon based fuels. Electing to make your own adobes mirrors an earlier age which, by millennia, predates the pharaohs. Don't have the time? New Mexico Earth Adobes has spent over 38 years perfecting the art of hand-made, sun-dried adobe blocks. |
