hen Natures Creation’s owner and designer David Schneider is commissioned to create and construct a luxury water space, he interviews the homeowner and studies the project site. “Every job is different and every setting is unique unto its own. No matter where you build, it is necessary to understand the owner’s wants and desires and then determine whether the land can accommodate the requests,” says Schneider. On one hand, Natures Creations prides itself in blending the surrounding environment into the design as if Mother Nature created the venue herself. This keeps the designs fresh, exciting and natural. For example, if the home is in the high desert, the designers may suggest an exotic oasis, while a mountain backdrop may inspire a grotto covered in waves of grasses and flowers. On the other hand, Schneider is equally adept at creating a modern, clean and edgy look that may include imported glass tiles, negative edge and wet deck features. From drafting plans and construction to maintenance and remodeling, Natures Creations offers a total package to clients. Schneider is also known for using striking outdoor lighting, distinctive rockscaping and dramatic deck layouts. As well as assisting in landscape design, the company’s projects include not only swimming pools but custom spas and water features that enhance the homeowner’s quality of life and the home value. “A great design dictates that I include the individual characteristics of the site with the homeowner’s desires,” Schneider states. Quite possibly, this is the reason for the many satisfied clients who continually refer their friends and family. Natures Creations, a gold member of the Genesis 3 Design Group, also holds memberships in the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals and the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. Schneider is a licensed contractor in the state of Texas and New Mexico and has been building in Santa Fe for over 30 years. Natures Creations Inc.

Impressive in scope, this natural centerpiece syncs perfectly with the venue’s surrounding beauty. The hidden grotto doubles as a harmonious water feature while the dramatic flora accents the setting with its untamed splendor.
A fine example of how the blending of the natural world into a poolscape’s ambiance creates a unified look. This freeform pool goes even further to generate a buzz of excitement by utilizing well-designed lighting to pinpoint every spot around the site.
Like Mother Nature formed eons ago, this vanishing edge pool is genius at showcasing simple elegance. Every element is carefully planned to appear carefree — a welcoming sight on a summer’s day.
