Landscape Architects & Contractors in Bernalillo County.

“The maintenance staff at Waterwise Landscaping - exceptional. Bobby coordinates all the visits and follows through to confirm or to make changes They arrive when they say they will! They are knowledgeable about the plants so they can properly trim/treat them. I appreciate it when they point problems to me. I would highly recommend this company.”

“Working with Steve and his crew was an excellent one. They were professional, knowledgeable, on time. Steve is pleasant and up front and honest about cost and what is required. He does everything he can to meet your budget. I love the work they did for me and I will continue to use them.”

“Erin is technically knowledgeable and is an expert on native plants and trees. She took our initial ideas and drew up plans that exceeded our expectations. We were so pleased with her work in our front yard that we hired her the following year to finish the backyard and sides of our property. We would recommend her highly for anyone looking for a landscaper.”

“We had an excellent experience with EcoScapes planning and implementing the landscape for our small walled and rather barren yard. As an in-town location, we had several micro-climates requiring careful plant choices and we wanted a large stone patio. The resulting design gave us a great entertaining space, raised beds for ornamentals and a kitchen garden, improved privacy and an interesting variety of plants. Michael and his team were a joy to work with throughout the process - the stone masons were true artists and the project ticked off everything on our wish list. EcoScapes has stayed engaged, offering maintenance advise when asked and replacing two plants that failed to thrive.”

“Rather than jumping right into the superior and extraordinary job that Clemens & Associates executed under Catherine Clemens vision and execution, I'd like to take a moment and start at the very beginning. We purchased a Spanish Colonial Hacienda in Santa Fe, NM that we spent the first year working on with our general contractor and designer restoring back to a more original feel and as we neared completion of that part of the journey, we knew what was coming next. The Great Outdoors that surrounded this incredible property. The Hacienda sits on 5 acres of land and came with multiple outdoor spaces that needed dire help ---- but little did we know there were other areas that would get created along this glorious outdoor journey. We went about researching companies to work with and started with interviews on site ........when Catherine entered the picture, it was as it was all supposed to be --- this was the person that was going to see this project through to the end and transform the outside to mirror what had been created on the inside of the Hacienda over this previous year period. Catherine knew and literally said all the things that we had either imagined or wished we had imagined for the property and thus the relationship was sealed. Catherine was meticulous about surveying the property, the grounds, the details, the technicalities along with remaining true to the bigger picture and what it would take to execute the vision. Catherine was so helpful with us in mapping out each phase of the project and providing ideas, thoughts and designs that would then transform the various areas into this spectacular landscape we now know today as our Hacienda. Projects included; i.e. the drive and entryway up to the house (total re-do), the front courtyard area (total re-do), a fire-pit & star-gazer areas (newly developed area), the guest room Moroccan Garden area (newly developed area), the Master Bedroom Bird Sanctuary (total re-do that would almost qualify as a completely new project) and finally, the interior courtyard & cocktail pool area (major re-do). Each of the spaces required their own unique level of detail.......for example, the newly installed pathway of driving lights leading up to the house from the main entrance were an area of great concentration for Catherine. She wanted to achieve the perfect balance of luminescence --- not too bright, not too dim but just right. She went as far as hand painting the interior glass to soften the light and achieve the most beautiful atmosphere in which to meander up to our front door while creating a beautiful feel of anticipation on what to expect along the way. The front courtyard and landing pad off of the drive had been a previously laid pattern of brick pavers that provided function and restricted space -- blocked along very linear lines -- and included absolutely no beauty or expanded entertainment function and Catherine proposed a layout of tumbled brick laid in the most beautiful pattern ---- and at the same time, expanded the brick into unused areas of the front courtyard so that it literally transformed the space into an inviting and entertaining space that simply calls to be used. She rebuilt our front courtyard fountain and base by hand so that it mirrored the stye of the space and made it visually more interesting than just another typical flowing fountain. Catherine's choice of colors and style to recreate this space was beautiful. The Guest Room Courtyard and Moroccan Garden off of the media room were another transformation -- our guests now enjoy a seamless and inviting path to the most gorgeous pergola covered water treatment garden area that is tranquil, meditative and relaxing. No offense Catherine, but our goal wasn't to have our guests move in and never check out !!! LOL !!! Thanks for creating such a special place that provides our guests a moment to remember. The bird garden / sanctuary is one of my personal favorites.......it's magical. The stair steps into the area that houses a full variety of feeders and food types along with natural tree limbs and stumps surrounding a heated water pool for drinking and hanging out. Then finally our interior courtyard and pool went through a complete overhaul.....from a complete redesign and renovation of the pool, including hand painted mosaic tiles, to a complete redesign of the inner courtyard where the 2-tier difficult-to-navigate courtyard was transformed into a one level tumbled brick beautiful entertaining area that now houses gorgeous pots, plants and furniture. Catherine is a landscape genius ----”

“I've been in NM for almost one year. Have dealt with several contractors in my life and all said the same thing-on time, on budget and I will be happy with the end product. Let me me tell you-they are not all the same. I am very pleased with Outdoor Creations and would and will use them again when the situation comes up.Very professional and what I like-they clean up every day. They do what they say they are going to do and will do more......”

“My 20'x70' backyard was dead - five trees, six Spanish brooms and grass. Envision 3D showed me the possibilities with a design that made my friends envious. The plan added two raised gardens, a 800 square foot cement slab with a 13'x15' shade structure, expanded the existing back porch roof, added accent lighting and turned a sprinkler system into a drip irrigation system. The technology Envision 3D used brought a dream to life. They were knowledgeable and fun to work with. Julie went out of her way to select plants for the new gardens that were rabbit resistant, since wild rabbits visit my yard. They also helped by breaking down the costs so I could attack the project in affordable stages. My friends and I are now enjoying a beautiful backyard during "Hot Tub Happy Hour." Jane Moorman”

“Finished project was wonderful, the crew was kind and even took in the trash bins. Owner Paul Gelb was extremely kind, and made sure we had nothing but perfection in our new paradise.”

“From estimate to completion David was more respectful, professional and helpful than I would have ever expected. Our back yard was turned into exactly what we wanted and more! There were unforseen obstacles and they handled them like the true professionals they are. They go over and above what most would do and I would and already have hired them for another landscaping project.”

“I would like to personally that Jose, Miguel and Gus for the expert and professional job they did today at our residence. The team was punctual and the tree trimming, shrub and flower maintenance, and rock work was all fist rate. The detail spent on cleanup after the work was more than expected. Nice job...thanks for all the hard work!!!”
