Sustainable Landscaping Backed by Expertise, Clarity, and Care
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by garden upkeep or frustrated by one-size-fits-all contractors who don’t “get it,” you're not alone. Many of our clients came to us looking for more than just a lawn mowing service, they were looking for a partner who understood their desire to move beyond their mono-culture lawn and work in harmony with nature.
Our sustainable landscaping services help solve these common frustrations:
You Want to Reduce Your Environmental Footprint
We avoid chemical weed control practices, build healthy soil with compost, select native plants suited to your site, and install your garden using manual tools or quiet electric equipment (no more ear splitting leaf blowers). That means fewer inputs, more habitat, cleaner air and water, and a better experience for you and the planet.
You Want an Outdoor Space that Creates Habitat for Birds & Pollinators–Not Lawn Mowers
Our team knows plants and is committed to sustainability like you. We utilize native plants in our garden design and installations, creating critical habitat for birds, pollinators like butterflies and bees, and other wildlife need to survive and thrive. From design to on-going maintenance, we want to help elevate your outdoor space into a beautiful, low maintenance outdoor oasis - not just another lawn that needs to be mowed week after week, year after year.
You Value Clear Communication and Trusted Service
We’re proud to offer the Open Space Satisfaction Promise. You’ll get consistent updates, a thoughtful process, and fast responses to any questions. If something’s not right, we work hard to resolve it within one or two business days.
