Why Are We Passionate About Transitioning From Landscaping Into The Regenerative Space?

An Honest Look At Community Values — Reflected In:
(A) Our Understanding of Our Relationship With Nature
(B) Habitual Narratives That Overlook The Current Spectrum of Our Social Economies + Ability To Thrive
(C) The Importance (and Right Timing) of Starting New Conversations
IN WITH THE NEW We are grateful to recognize that everything we have learned during our time in the landscape industry over the past decade has laid fertile groundwork for what it now takes in the present moment (a) to engage the necessary conversations within our current community, (b) to open doors to new solutions, and (c) to open the windows for the fresh air of understanding something from a whole new level… What we are seeing happen in our yards, our community, and globally, is a collective recognition that what is needed in the property management and maintenance sector is not just ‘sustainable’ or ‘green’ (washed), but is… truly grounded, able to regenerate because of alignment with Nature’s Patterns (aka Regenerative Design) in a way that also supports our goals from the ground up. We are ripe for adopting a new perspective that defines how we live and grow with the land we steward and how it is a mutually supportive ongoing relationship of integral social, ecological, and technological economies. We hope you’ll join us as we explore more in the way of growing, and as we continue to follow our inspiration to share with you from the leading edge.

PERMACULTURE INSPIRED PLANTING DESIGN + NATIVE SPECIES CATALOGUE

We catalogued over 70 different native trees, flowers, grasses, and medicinal ‘weeds’ already existing on the property, as well as offered a supplemental list from which they could choose when deciding to introduce new natives to their property.

For the steep sloped side yard, an area of wild grass and pine needles, we planted native species on countour and introduced a root based drip system, that would remove risk of excess surface water drainage.

To this slope we created a small walking path for meandering, engineered with water runoffs to maintain the integrity of the terrain.
