PERMACULTURE & EDIBLE GARDEN DESIGN

We specialize in designing beautiful landscapes based on nature’s own systems — providing abundance, promoting biodiversity, and restoring the ecological health of the land.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

STEP ONE | Initial Consultation

Our initial consultation is an opportunity for us to evaluate your space and understand your goals. We will determine the size of your edible garden based on available locations within your yard with optimal placement for sun exposure. We will get an understanding of your vegetable needs so we can customize your garden design in the next phase. We will provide a scope and pricing for your custom edible garden.

During our initial consultation, we may determine that an extensive design process is not necessary, and we can streamline this step and go straight to GROWING.

STEP TWO | Foodscape Design

Once you’ve approved the plan and pricing for your custom edible garden, we’ll head into the design process. This process can involve multiple in person visits to the location to observe it at different times of day and soil testing for nutrients and toxins. We will then provide sketches and detailed plans for your edible garden layout taking into consideration the location(s) and goals we discussed during our initial consult. This design phase includes one round of refinement on your selected garden design.

Our design fee is based on lot size and project scope.
URBAN (10,000 sq feet or less) $800-$1500
SUBURBAN (0.25-2 Acres) $1200-2500
ESTATE (2-10 Acres) $2800-3500
AGRICULTURAL (10+ Acres) $4000-7000

STEP THREE | Earthwork + Build

Once we have an approved design plan, we’ll schedule the earthwork and build-out to execute the custom design. Our team can perform earthwork to clear and remove weeds or lawns, bring in new soil, ground cover and pathway materials. We specialize in custom garden woodwork, such as raised beds and trellises. For any parts of your project requiring a contractor or heavy machinery, we will recommend local partners.

Pricing would be determined based on selected and approved designs. If you know you have a specific budget upfront, please let us know during the initial consultation so we can design to fit your budget.

Once your garden infrastructure is built, see more information about our Edible Garden Coaching and Personal Farming Memberships.
