Living Water Irrigation & Landscape is a forward-thinking design and build firm in Santa Fe, NM led by award-winning designer Mark G. Brotton. For 25 years, we have created outdoor spaces that inspire serenity, vitality, and a deep connection to nature. Each landscape we design is unique, shaped by its surroundings, and tailored to reflect your lifestyle. Our designs are timeless—functional, sustainable, and in harmony with the environment.

Merging contemporary design with natural materials, we emphasize clean lines and balanced proportions that capture the essence of each site. We choose native plants with care, using our horticultural expertise to create extraordinary palettes of color and texture. The naturalistic planting we select thrives in local soil and climate, offering year-round beauty and resilience. Our approach prioritizes smart water management, employing advanced irrigation and state-of-the-art rainwater harvesting systems to create efficient and inviting outdoor spaces.

From concept to creation, our team brings passion, creativity, and innovation to every project. We excel in creating distinctive outdoor living areas that seamlessly blend elegant hardscapes, lush softscapes, specialized lighting, and ambient water features. Our holistic practice goes beyond design; it encompasses installation and maintenance, ensuring that every outdoor space we create is not only beautiful but also easy to maintain and enjoy. 

At Living Water, we believe in collaboration. From our first meeting to the final installation to maintenance care, we listen to you. We bring your vision to life. Let us uncover your property's full potential and create an extraordinary outdoor living space that is a source of inspiration, profound joy, relaxation, and reflection.

Living Water’s principal designer, Mark G. Brotton is celebrated for his sustainable, naturalistic designs. With eight APLD international design awards from 2019 to 2024, along with the 2023 Ann Hunter-Welborn Circle of Excellence Award in sustainability leadership, these accolades reflect his dedication to excellence and environmental stewardship.
