The 31 flavors of landscape design
Our client questionnaire has always been invaluable over the years. Here’s my latest column on the subject.

I’ve been designing and installing landscapes professionally for 24 years, and no one has ever had that much patience — or cash.

The Arroyo Chamiso
It’s great to see this project coming together. The old arroyo, often simply used as a drain, is coming to life as a member of the community again. With the Interior Department's plans to sell public lands to polluters, it's nice to know the opposite is occurring at the local level thanks to Erin English, Neil Williams, Melissa McDonald, and the Santa Fe Watershed Association.
