Early June containers are all about the first full flush of summer color.

Here, cobalt blue pots bring depth and richness, while warm terracotta adds a grounded, timeless feeling. We love the contrast: bold blues, soft greens, red blooms, trailing silver foliage, and the sculptural presence of this garden figure at the center.

A beautiful container planting doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs balance: height, texture, color, movement, and a few unexpected details that make the arrangement feel personal.
These are the moments when the garden begins to feel lush, layered, and alive.

In the quiet blue of evening beneath the New Mexico sky, as lanterns begin to glow and the day settles into stillness, we pause to remember.

This Memorial Day, Living Water in Santa Fe honors the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice lives on in the freedoms we cherish, in the peace we hope for, and in the sacred spaces where we gather, reflect, and give thanks.

May this garden moment remind us to hold their memory with reverence, gratitude, and love.

A truly beautiful water feature is not just built. It is nurtured.

At Living Water, we design and build ponds, streams, waterfalls, and water features that bring grace, movement, and life to the landscape. We also provide the specialized care that helps them stay clear, balanced, healthy, and beautiful through every season.

Our maintenance services include routine care, seasonal cleanings, filtration support, algae control, plant management, and pump care, all with an understanding of Santa Fe’s unique climate and water conditions.

And when it comes to koi ponds, expertise matters. Koi bring luminous color and vitality to a pond, but they need clean, well-balanced, well-aerated water to thrive.

Need help caring for your water feature? We would love to help.

Contact us today to learn more about our maintenance services.

I’m excited to share that a new press release featuring my work has just been published in The Santa Fe New Mexican, highlighting my work creating landscapes that respect and elevate Santa Fe’s historic character. Working in historic districts requires a careful balance of beauty, restraint, and authenticity, and I love designing and building outdoor spaces that feel timeless and rooted in place.

As the world turns quietly toward the light, even winter offers its bright surprises.
In the winter garden, there is so much to notice. Just look:
Bright red berries shine against the snow,
and a robin finds its winter feast,
joyful, unhurried, grateful for what is.

Wishing you warmth as the light begins its return.
Happy winter solstice.

As the last light slips across the horizon, this Santa Fe terrace becomes a quiet overlook where the sky reveals its luminous evening. Here, sunset isn’t just a moment—it’s an experience shaped by architecture, landscape, and the gentle glow of intentional lighting.

Warm pools of light guide the eye outward toward the mountains, while soft illumination beneath the portal invites you to linger long past dusk. The interplay of shadow and glow turns this space into a twilight retreat—an outdoor room where the day unwinds and the night arrives softly.

Designed for stillness, conversation, and those unforgettable New Mexico sunsets, this is where form, light, and landscape come together to create a place you’ll never want to leave.

Living Water in Santa Fe — crafting outdoor spaces that celebrate sky, light, and the art of evening.
