The RainCatcher Inc. is a full service design/build company. We focus on the principles of sustainability and follow the code of ethics set forth by the permaculture principle: care of earth, care of people, sharing surplus. The RainCatcher utilizes water harvesting, water catchment, edible/sustainable landscapes, irrigation, wastewater treatment and reuse, erosion control and restoration to create intelligently designed, sustainable landsites.

We offer:

•  Rainwater Harvesting

The RainCatcher specializes in systems that collect and store rainwater. Options include either passive rainwater harvesting or active rainwater harvesting. Stored rainwater can be used in many ways once it has been gathered, i.e. for irrigation, fountains, ponds, animals, and domestic uses for humans. See our Rainwater Harvesting section for more information and ideas.

•  Water Recycling & Wastewater Treatment

Reuse of rainwater, greywater and blackwater are legal in New Mexico. In nature, water is used as many times as possible before leaving the landscape as groundwater or evaporation. We can utilize this same conservationist approach to maximize potential water use. Visit our Water Recycling page and gallery for more information and ideas.

•  Edible Landscaping

From fruit and nut trees to berries, grapes and veggies, the choices for landscaping that is both beautiful and edible are endless. Many edible plants can fill the same niches that other more common plants fill, plus they provide food for us as well as being edible plant materials for native wildlife. Read more about them in our Edible Landscaping section.

•  Irrigation Systems

A key component in any landscape! The RainCatcher offers efficient watering techniques that can help you save money and water. Irrigation systems can be fed from municipal water sources, wells – and even better – rainwater catchment systems. Using rainwater as a primary irrigation source is a wonderful way to grow a healthy and sustainable landscape. Learn about the options to keep your landscape thriving in our Irrigation Systems section.

•  Permaculture Design

Create beautiful, sustainable landscapes that build soil, grow food, conserve water, moderate flood and drought conditions, create natural habitats and increase biodiversity – all with permaculture design!  Working with nature we can cooperatively utilize all of the aspects of the natural world to meet our needs and bring the Earth back  to health. Read more about these principles in our Permaculture section.

•  Erosion Control

The fragile soils in our high desert are very susceptible to major erosion and it frequently goes unchecked here in the southwest. With minimal techniques to help sediment deposition, we can re-establish vegetation to hold soils in place and bring the land back to a healthier state. Learn about the options in the Erosion Control section.

•  Landscaping, Xeriscaping & Sustainable Landsites

Sustainable landsites can grow and thrive without the constant intervention of humans and artificial resources. Xeriscaping is a landscaping method developed for arid and semiarid climates that utilizes water-conserving techniques, such as using drought-tolerant plants, mulch, and efficient irrigation. In the high desert where soil is extremely fragile and water is limited, design is the most critical factor. Find out more about how to create a water-wise landsite in our Landscaping & Xeriscaping section.

• Hardscaping & Stonework

Hardscaping is a permanent infrastructure that can create many wonderful aspects of a new landscape. Whether you’re looking for meandering pathways, garden beds, terraces for erosion control, or flagstone patios, The RainCatcher has crews of experienced stone masons to greatly enhance your property by adding these features. Learn more and view examples in our Hardscaping & Stonework section.

Seeding and Revegetation with Native Grasses

We have a stunningly beautiful array of native grasses, wildflowers and shrubs that thrive in the New Mexico ecosystem. These native species bring color and texture to a landscape, even in the winter months. RainCatcher designs and implements full restoration plans for large or small properties. Utilizing unique erosion control and soil building techniques, and through the use of hydroseeding and temporary irrigation, we can revegetate bare areas in one season! See our Seeding with Native Grasses section for more information and photos.

Testimonials

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 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
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
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 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
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
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
