I'd really like to look into having someone landscape our yard in the winter because I will have more time off and can be home to keep the dogs away from the workers. I live in alb, NM and it can get pretty cold, thus the ground can be pretty hard. Is this realistic or should we wait til spring?

Doing it in the winter is fine. And actually doing it closer to fall would be better. If you can give the plants, especially woody ones such as trees and shrubs, more time to root without having the stress of intense growing at the same time, like in spring, they will be healthier and grow better.
there are some things that wont' do well so young in the winter, like annual color or ornamentals, but the larger things i would try to do as soon as you can.

It is probably the best to wait until the spring. But someone can landscape your yard almost anytime of the year as long as there is not much snow on the ground. The hard/frozen ground just makes the person's job harder when they are landscaping.

You should wait until spring , otherwise all your plants are doomed to die .

yes, it is realistic, unless there will be long rainning or snowing days.
