Amazing Rain Garden Project in Santa Fe | East Alameda

In July of 2022, The RainCatcher and the City of Santa Fe, along with other partners, unveiled the newest of seven "Rain Gardens" on East Alameda Street. A combination of form and function, these new Rain Gardens are designed to be natural park-like areas for the public, yet also serve an important purpose: to filter and cleanse rainwater before it flows into the soil and the Santa Fe … [Read more...]

Landscape Design | Las Campanas Entrance

Waterwise median landscape design for Las Campanas by The RainCatcher, Santa Fe

Since 2018, The RainCatcher Inc. has been working with the Las Campanas Owners Association landscape committee to enhance and improve the 23 entrances going into the Las Campanas subdivision outside of Santa Fe, NM. The need for a complete redesign and overhaul of the existing entrances came from an extremely outdated landscape palette that was not water-wise, and an old irrigation system that … [Read more...]

Water-Wise Permaculture Landscaping Design

Utilizing permaculture design to create sustainable landscapes, we develop landsites that accomplish many wonderful functions: build soil, grow food for us and wildlife, conserve water, moderate flood, erosion and drought conditions, create natural habitats, regulate pests, increase biodiversity, and make our high desert bloom! Permaculture is an approach to … [Read more...]

Sustainable Landscaping Principles

Sustainable landsites are landscapes that can grow and thrive without the constant intervention of human resources.  Most take a good amount of time to fully establish, and require a large amount of energy and resources to get started. In the high desert where soil is extremely fragile and water is limited, design is the most critical factor. Sustainable landscapes eventually provide a … [Read more...]

Testimonials

My first contact with The RainCatcher was at a water forum held in Eldorado. I was so impressed with The RainCatcher’s presentation that I asked Reese if he would like to work with the Eldorado Community Center and design a water catchment system. The RainCatcher was professional and responsive to all of our needs and his crews were courteous and helpful. The project was done on time and within budget. Thanks RainCatcher!
Bill Donohue, General Manager, Eldorado Community Improvement Association
We are so pleased with the work that the RainCatcher has done at our home. They have transformed our yard into a beautiful garden that we can enjoy year round. The attention to detail used to create our catchment system was beyond professional. This company is the most honest, hard working, and talented group out there! I would recommend – and have recommended them – time and time again!
Ajna and Roberta Seret, Santa Fe
We enlisted Reese Baker to design and install a 12,000 gallon water catchment system on our property, which has been working beautifully ever since. It allowed us to plant and irrigate a fruit orchard and water all our landscape, automatically – a completely carefree system. The project was completed on time and within the stated parameters. We consider it money well spent and we’d recommend The RainCatcher to anyone.”
Stryder and Phoenix Simms, Santa Fe
With the RainCatcher’s help, our property has been completely restructured and now retains the moisture that falls on the land. It also reuses all the wastewater that we generate, and collects and reuses the rain and snow moisture that falls on our roof. We have both flowering and fruit-bearing plants and trees, plus healthy soil, which creates a wonderful ecosystem that we enjoy year ’round. In addition to all this, the RainCatcher is very responsive to ongoing maintenance and emergency cal… Read more
Melissa Epple and Dwight Nibbelink, Santa Fe
When we were planning our project, our landscape designer recommended The Raincatcher for our catchment system. We found the guys at The RainCatcher to be very honest, fair, and easy to work with. They did a great job on our tanks, and we ended up asking them to also do our stonework.
Peter Shepard, Santa Fe
We highly recommend The Raincatcher if you choose to harvest nature’s water elements. They installed our system after our well became unusable, utilizing our existing plumbing and adding other components. Their employees were conscientious and reliable, and our system works as they promised it would! We were pleased that we did not have anything freeze when it got down to 21 below zero – neighbors around us had quite a few issues!
Michelle and Terry Rothwell, Santa Fe
Our experience working with The RainCatcher was exceptional – and exciting from the beginning. This company is very detail-oriented and in constant communication with the client and landscape designer. We were very impressed with the camaraderie and respect between Reese and his crew. Our finished patio is perfect. The rock work, exquisite.
Louise and Kirk Casselman, Santa Fe
