Meet tara josub

owner & landscape designer

I discovered my fascination with nature early on.
Growing up in Curaçao, we naturally spent most of our time outside. Whenever I needed space—time alone or a break from my family—I would climb out my window and sit quietly in the bushes, even in the rain, or wander down the street to hide in the brush.

Though I was educated both abroad and in the U.S., I’ve now spent 26 years in Santa Fe—first as a student at St. John’s College, and later as a landscape designer, business owner, and mother.

My love for Santa Fe didn’t happen overnight. It unfolded slowly, through motherhood and the rhythm of life here. I began to appreciate the stark beauty of the landscape, the weight of our sunsets, the timing of the moon’s phases, and the warmth of the community. These elements revealed themselves more vividly through the eyes of a mother, under the endless, open skies.

I started Urbanna as a way to spend more time outdoors and have fun. But as I grew into the work, I also reconnected with the natural world—and, in doing so, rediscovered the quiet, essential truths of my own heart.

I get to cultivate my passion for turning chaos into beautiful spaces while also serving people who love our work.

For that I am thankful for this exquisite opportunity Santa Fe’s community has continued to provide me.

I had the pleasure of working with Urbana Landscaping on a project at my cabin in northern New Mexico, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, creative, and truly invested in bringing my vision to life.

What stood out most was the creative process — they took the time to understand my preferences and the natural surroundings, offering unique and thoughtful design ideas that perfectly complemented the landscape. The installation was seamless, with careful attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. They didn’t just complete the job and move on; their follow-through was exceptional, ensuring everything was executed to perfection and that I was completely satisfied.

If you’re looking for a landscaping team that combines creativity, expertise, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Urbana Landscaping. They exceeded my expectations and transformed my outdoor space into something truly special!

Urbanna Landscaping is more than landscaping. It is art utilizing the natural flora of the region. The thoughtful consideration of natural textures, colors, and the graceful architecture of the plant goes beyond the summer’s bounty; gracing outdoor spaces with beauty that has no season. I am always amazed and delighted by the perfect creations coming out of Urbanna. They design dreams and I love it.
