Design & Installation
Thoughtful design and professional installation for edible and ecological landscapes
— built to last.
What Design & Installation looks like…
Design and installation services translate clear planning into carefully executed landscapes that balance function, aesthetics, and long-term performance.
Work begins with a thoughtful design process rooted in site conditions, goals, and how the landscape will be used over time. From there, installation is managed with attention to timing, sequencing, and detail, ensuring that plantings and systems are established correctly from the start.
Rather than quick installs or template solutions, design and installation focus on creating landscapes that are cohesive, resilient, and prepared to evolve as plants mature and conditions change.
Is Design & Installation the right fit?
Design and installation work best for homeowners who value planning, clarity, and thoughtful execution.
This is a good fit if you:
Want a well-designed landscape tailored to your site and goals
Are interested in edible gardens, foodscaping, or ecological plantings
Value long-term performance over quick results
Appreciate a clear process from planning through installation
This may not be the right fit if you:
Are looking for basic lawn care or routine maintenance services without a design or systems-based approach
Want installation without prior planning or site evaluation
Are seeking a low-cost, fast-turnaround approach
Prefer a one-size-fits-all landscape solution
How Design & Installation works…
Design and installation follow a clear, phased process that prioritizes alignment and long-term success.
1. Consulting & direction
All projects begin with garden consulting to evaluate site conditions, clarify goals, and establish priorities.
2. Design development
Planting plans, layouts, and phasing are developed based on the agreed direction, with attention to function, aesthetics, and future care.
3. Installation & establishment
Installation is coordinated and overseen to ensure work is completed thoughtfully, at the appropriate time, and with long-term performance in mind.

How Design & Installation fits within my broader work.
Design and installation are one part of a larger, systems-based approach to landscape work.
Some clients move from design and installation into garden coaching or ongoing management to support establishment and long-term care. Others prefer to transition out after installation, using the design framework to guide future decisions independently.
Across all services, the common thread is thoughtful planning, informed decision-making, and landscapes designed to perform well over time.
Design & Installation FAQs
Do you install designs created elsewhere?
Design and installation work is based on plans developed through my own consulting and design process. This ensures that site conditions, goals, and long-term considerations are fully understood before installation begins.
What happens after installation?
After installation, some clients continue into garden coaching or management to support establishment and ongoing care. Others choose to manage the landscape independently using the design framework and guidance provided.
What types of projects do you take on?
Projects typically focus on edible gardens, foodscaping, ecological plantings, and integrated garden systems. Work is selected based on site conditions, scope, and alignment with a thoughtful, systems-based approach.
If you’re looking for thoughtful design and careful execution rooted in clarity and long-term performance, design and installation services offer a grounded next step.
