“Crimson Thread” Paradise Hills United Methodist Church Renovation

Custom seat wall with crosses bored into boulders.

This was a landscape renovation for Paradise Hills United Methodist Church.  The Crimson Thread, the blood of Jesus Christ, is manifested in many areas on the church grounds through the path material to the plant choices.

Pathway through the right of way connecting the post office to the east with the neighborhood to the west of Albuquerque.

The tiles on the seat wall facade were made by the congregation members of PHUMC, many of the children, making it unique and memorable for the church family.

The finished courtyard provides seating and shade.
