Living Land & Water Systems
Living Land & Water Systems
Restoring the Living Fabric Beneath Every Build.
At Barragan Construction, we see land and water as the first foundations of every project — not afterthoughts.
Our Living Land & Water Systems Division designs and builds ecological infrastructure that restores soil health, captures water, and regenerates the environments we depend on.
Because before we build up, we must first build with the land.
Healthy land is living infrastructure — it filters water, moderates climate, and sustains life.
But modern construction often disrupts these systems, leading to runoff, erosion, and ecological collapse.
We rebuild these natural networks through ecological engineering, permaculture design, and water-wise systems that make every site more self-sustaining over time.

Why It Matters
Arizona and the greater Southwest face some of the most pressing environmental challenges — rising heat, shrinking water tables, and soil loss.
Our Living Land & Water Systems address these issues at their root:
Reduce stormwater runoff and erosion
Recharge groundwater and retain moisture
Restore biodiversity and pollinator health
Lower maintenance and irrigation costs
Create cooler, more resilient microclimates
Regeneration is not a trend — it’s survival through design.
Integrated Project Applications
Residential regenerative landscapes
Civic and educational green infrastructure
Public stormwater and watershed projects
Tribal and community restoration programs
Resilient commercial and hospitality sites
Our Process
Assessment: Ecological mapping, hydrology, and soil analysis
Design: System integration across land, water, and structure
Build: Native plant installation, earthworks, and water systems
Maintain: Monitoring and adaptive management for long-term regeneration
Let’s Rebuild Our Relationship with the Land
If you’re ready to create a landscape that harvests water, grows food, and restores ecology, our regenerative team is ready to collaborate.
Every drop matters. Every site can thrive again.
