Seriously Committed to Sustainability

For over a decade, Open Space Gardens has helped property owners create landscapes that are both beautiful and ecologically vibrant. We don’t use synthetic fertilizers or chemical weed control. Instead, we build healthy soil with compost, plant native species that support pollinators and bird life, and minimize soil disturbance to preserve the underground ecosystem. From food gardens and bee lawns to full scale native garden installations, we offer solutions that reduce maintenance and increase habitat. Every space is installed and maintained using manual tools or electric-powered equipment to reduce our energy use and keep your outdoor space peaceful and your air cleaner.
