Our Process
From initial discussion to thriving landscape or educational program, here is how we work together.
Contact & Initial Discussion
After you contact us, we will ask a bit more about your design or education needs to make sure our services are a good fit. During the phone consultation, we will discuss your goals, objectives and challenges, timeline and next steps. Initial 15-minute consult is free.
Site Assessment
All design work and consultation services begin with a site assessment to understand your vision, goals, site conditions and assess factors such as water flow, soil health, microclimates, vegetation, access, wind exposure, and solar orientation to identify opportunities and challenges unique to your property.
The site assessment will address your questions and offer expert guidance along with practical, site-specific recommendations to help transform your landscape. Topics may include:
- Design Goals (beauty, food production, habitat, recreation, and resilience); Plant Selection (climate-appropriate edible, native, and ornamental species)
- Water Management (rainwater, groundwater, and greywater harvesting strategies); Soil Health (building fertile, living soils naturally)
- Low-Maintenance Systems (no-till, water-wise, and low-weed approaches)
- Gardens & Infrastructure (beds, orchards, tunnels, fencing, and other features); Livestock Integration (incorporating animals into productive landscapes)
- Natural Pest Management (ecological solutions for pests and diseases)
- Erosion Control (improving infiltration and reducing soil loss)
- Chemical-Free Growing (regenerative practices that eliminate synthetic inputs)
- Resource-Smart Design (using local, reclaimed, and site-based materials)
Whether you're starting with a small backyard garden, developing a homestead, restoring a landscape, or planning/regenerating a farm or ranch, our goal is to help you create synergistic climate-adapted systems on your land that benefits both people and planet.
