Highly recommend Yani and David! Their communication was quick, and scheduled a visit almost immediately. They walked our yards with us and offered inspiring ideas and had no issue meeting all of our expectations. Our backyard was a mess with a ton of weeding to be done. It looks completely different and they did an amazing job making our yard look clean and beautiful. They seemed eager to work on new ideas and offered great advice on how to keep the weeds at bay with a chemical free option. Also pretty impressive Yani could name our plants immediately and teach us about them because we had zero clue! Very happy to have worked with them! This was a relief after having a bad experience with someone else who left our yard unfinished with no explanation why.

I’ve been tasked with caring for my Ma’s yard. She is a very skilled gardener. I am not! Luckily I discovered Living Temple. From the get go they had clear and quick communication. Visiting to decide steps was a joy. They recognized Ma’s abilities and were a huge help to me. No pressure to do more than I wanted. They had great suggestions and used resources that were already in the yard creatively. Living Temple clearly knows their stuff and enjoys their work. I highly recommend them and will be utilizing their skills again.

-Diana M.

I hired Living Temple to revamp our small yard when spring had sprung overnight, and I didn’t have the time or energy to take care of it. Their communication was great, and their prices were more than reasonable. They did exactly what I asked, and the yard looks clean and fresh. I am so grateful for their help!

-Leia Johnson

HUGE shout-out to Living Temple landscaping here in Lorton for working on some yard projects! They did in a few hours what would have taken me a few weeks to complete and I am so grateful for their help!

-Rebecca S.

Aranyani and David helped me get rid of a decade’s worth of debris that had accumulated on my land. They did a great job and my land looks much better. They came when they said they would, were pleasant about it, and got everything cleared out in a reasonable amount of time. If they were staying New Mexico, I’d hire them again.

-Sage C.

Yani and David revived my front and back patios with new gravel, and creatively worked with the flagstone I had, giving it new life and shape, therefore saving money and giving me the soft-artistic look I wanted. Sad to see them leave Santa Fe….. may the force be with them.

-Beth T.

What a class act. Responsive, timely, conscientious, honest. This aint a couple hippies. The pair make a great team. They did a wonderful job, even achieving their goals ahead of schedule. Would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Yani and David of Living Temple! After being out of town for months, I needed to get my neglected property ready to show a potential buyer in just two days. Honestly, things were in pretty bad shape and I wasn’t sure how much of a difference could be made in such a short period of time. Well, Yani and David were able to make a HUGE difference!! Not only did they do a great job cleaning up my overgrown courtyard garden that was dead from winter, they also significantly refreshed the outdoor areas around my house and casita using mulch. In addition, they are wonderful creative thinkers and came up with some incredible design ideas that they executed under my budget! They created a great stone border for a previously “sloppy” undefined garden area along my driveway, and because it was too early to plant anything, Yani created really beautiful arrangements in my large decorative patio planters using found objects from nature collected on my property. I will definitely hire Living Temple again, and cannot more highly recommend Yani and David!

Yani and David are wonderful to work with. They are fast, efficient and really delightful people to have around! I am so happy I found them!”

-IC

They both helped me tremendously with landscaping AND my move abroad. Lovely people!! They are both so skilled!!

-Gila

These guys are the real deal! Everything as agreed, on time, and under budget. Communication was easy and clear. I'm very pleased!

-Ken

Great work ethic, punctual and professional. So happy I came across this couple for a landscaping job in town. Worked super hard and got the job done in a timely manner. Highly recommended.

-Emma

As a busy family with young kids and a large yard, our to-do list was getting to be insurmountable. Finding David and Yani has allowed me to focus on daily life without the burden of endless garden chores, small paint jobs, selling items on marketplace and furniture assembly. They are prompt, communicative, and have reasonable rates. Life is better with David and Yani!

-N. Clay

We switched to Living Temple for this year’s summer and fall season and have been very happy with the results. They communicate clearly, come when scheduled, and do great work. We have a fairly large area that’s landscaped with lots of different beds and everything always looks great for a very reasonable fee. We would recommend Living Temple for any of your landscaping needs!

-Kristin M.

100% approved by my household. These two made quick work of a project I had been dreading all season and did an amazing job. Easy to get along with, too, and worth every dime.

-Heather R.

I would recommend them after they did a quick cleanup at my house in pecos. Great folks and great work!

- Jay

I highly recommend David and Yani for any landscape projects. They were punctual, thorough, and went above and beyond for me. I will be using them again.

-Suzanne W.

"After working with several landscapers who delivered mediocre results, I was thrilled to discover Yani and David's company, Living Temple. They are hardworking, reliable, and truly committed to quality. They transformed several overgrown areas of my wild backyard in Los Alamos, using natural materials found on-site to create a serene space perfect for reflection and meditation. Their creativity and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services and look forward to partnering with them again for future yard maintenance and design projects."

-Jennifer B.

Living Temple couple, David and Yani, have been the best find of all my years in Santa Fe. I simply fell across them on Facebook Bulletin Board when I started a desperate search for landscapers-gardeners. They responded immediately and have been working for me all summer. Their expertise in the gardens means that I do not have to watch them and I completely trust their sense of tidiness and their eye for the way my varied gardens should look and feel. They clean up after themselves in the best possible way and remove debris and weeds. Additionally, they are both the nicest, kindest people anyone could meet. They are great with my big dogs and they respect my property. I am able to throw anything their direction and without much explanation they are very capable of going above and beyond my expectations. Their cost is competitive and the bills are concise. I highly recommend them.

-Lisa B.

We were out of town over the summer and came back to an abundance of weeds. Aranyani and David worked hard to clear out a lot of weeds and plant several trees and flowers. We were impressed by how much work they completed in one day. I found them to be friendly, professional, and responsive.

-Bethany S.

Our yard was a mess and we were overwhelmed. The weeds were winning. David and Yani swooped in and showed them who’s boss. They made the property beautiful in just a few hours. We couldn’t be happier with the results. David and Yani are easy to communicate with, they show up on time, and have creative ideas on how to make our space welcoming and easy to care for. We look forward to using the services of Living Temple in the years to come.

-Mary & Dave

I want to give a big, happy, grateful shout out to David and Yani of Living Temple yard services!!! Their post here on Keep it Local Los Alamos was the first thing I saw one morning recently and l immediately gave them a call. They were at our place yesterday. They are a really genuinely nice, hard working young couple and a great fit for me. I'm totally pleased with the work they did for me. They got a difficult area under control and ready for replanting after gopher and dog damage and insidious weeds. They listened to me and did above and beyond what I expected. If you need some hands (4 of them) in your yard, don't hesitate to call.

-Susie E.

I recently hired Living Temple to do some landscaping and pull overgrown weeds at two locations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results (unless they also trimmed a few years off my mortgage). They worked quickly and efficiently, leaving both spaces looking sharp, tidy and ready to frolic in. They cut my weeds but not any corners, and the quality of their work really speaks for itself. On top of that, they were a pleasure to work with — easygoing, responsive, and genuinely lovely people. Scheduling was simple, communication was clear and the job was done exactly as promised. My yard looks fantastic! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality landscaping services.

-Ben W.

Aranyani and David went above and beyond cleaning up my property. Instead of just trimming back the trees in the driveway they cut in a shape that made it look like you were driving through a magical portal. I'm looking forward to the future magic they can help me with on my property. Highly Reccomended!

-Jonelle Duvall

Aranyani & David helped us turn our boring garden in Los Alamos into a delightful southwest gardenscape by adding landscape elements, transplanting the native plants and adding mulch. Highly recommend

-Jessica & Taylor

David and Yani came to pull our weeds but they actually pulled our heartstrings with their integrated services and kind demeanor. 10/10

-JL

These folks are amazing! I loved their thorough cleanup and garden-flair!
