Linda Churchill, company owner, coordinates client meetings, landscape design work, installation schedules, and business operations in a smooth and efficient flow.   She collaborates with a network of talented designers, contractors and suppliers who can provide the quality she demands on behalf of her clients.  Linda works closely with:

Tracy Neal, a first-class horticulturist and certified arborist with over 35 years of experience in New Mexico and a broad range of knowledge, including soil science and the use of native and adapted plants;  and

Jimmy Gonzales, a careful and efficient installer with the know-how, equipment, and dedicated crew to make garden installations happen

Linda, Tracy and Jimmy have worked together in various landscaping venues since 1998. We pooled our talents in 2009 to create a dynamic new partnership with a vision for modern landscaping based on our history and experience in Santa Fe, and a commitment to creating gardens that work in the future.
