CONSULTATION

We can meet many of your needs and answer alot of your questions with a 2-3 hour site visit and assessment.  We observe the natural eco-system as it is and read the landscape to understand what is going on and marry those with your wants and needs. In this process we produce a site brief that includes a overall site assessment of your water, soil, energy, shelter and vegetation which serve as a foundation to develop  a plant list and land use plan to reach your goals.  This is the first step for design projects and is a great process for those who wish to transform their gardens and landscapes themselves. 

INSTALLATION 

We are a Licensed and Bonded California Landscape Contractor and are able to install and/or project manage the systems we design. From simple water catchment and greywater systems to  urban food growing systems and large farm and ranch projects we have the network and team to bring your design into reality. 

DESIGN

We work on  projects ranging from the few acre homestead that focusses on solar self reliance to hundreds of acres of farm, ranch and multi-use land  planning. We can work with people on a multitude of levels from conceptual design to phased implementation plans, our aim is to facilitate a clear regenerative plan that is ecologically and economically viable.
