How We Can Help You Achieve Your Landscaping Goals

Whether you're looking to plant trees for shade and shelter, grow perennial fruits, nuts, and vegetables, create a wildflower meadow, rain garden, or pond, attract birds, butterflies, native bees, and other beneficials, reduce lawn area with ground covers and other plantings, transition to a low-maintenance, low-mow lawn, or install a trellis, hoop house, or greenhouse, we have the expertise and resources to help you make it happen. Our focus on edible landscaping with perennials offers a unique opportunity to grow food sustainably and economically, requiring less maintenance than traditional vegetable gardening. We can design plantings that match the specific habitat needs of your land and select varieties with superior taste, yield, hardiness, and resistance to pests and diseases to ensure success. Let us help you create your own "garden of eatin!" and welcome pollinators and other beneficials into your outdoor space.
