Landscape Designer
in Taos, New Mexico
Our Philosophy
As a landscape designer in Taos, my greatest joy is creating beauty from a blank slate. During garden development, my mind’s eye guides me by seeing the completed landscape. My canvas is dirt, my hands are the brushes and plants and rocks are the paint. It takes patience because a landscape is built in stages and takes years to mature.
