Landscapes that work with your land — not against it.

About This Service

Sustainable landscape design is about function as much as aesthetics. A pollinator garden supports local habitat and provides continuous bloom. An edible landscape produces food and looks intentional. A permaculture design establishes systems where different plants support each other, where water is captured and slowed rather than drained away, and where the landscape requires progressively less intervention as it matures. We design and install three distinct sustainable landscape systems: Pollinator Gardens that support native Wisconsin bee species, monarchs, and beneficial insects with plants chosen for continuous bloom from spring through fall; Edible Landscapes that integrate food production into ornamental design so the yard is both productive and intentional; and Permaculture Designs that establish layered plant communities — canopy trees, understory shrubs, groundcovers, and root crops — that function as a self-supporting ecosystem over time. These designs are more planning-intensive than conventional landscaping because getting the plant relationships right matters from the start. We spend more time in the design phase and are direct about what a design will look like in year one versus year five — because they are often very different, and clients who know what to expect tend to stay the course.
